Trailer Hitch Recommendation for Towing with 2018 Lexus RX 350 F Sport
Question:
I want to install a hitch on my 2018 RX350 F-Sport for a small cargo trailer. I like the Draw Tite over the Curt because of the 4500 lb. vs. the 4000 lb. capacity. However the listing on both hitches states excluding F Sport. But after watching the video and reading the comments and questions I dont see why it wouldnt work. Will the Draw Tite 75540 work on my car or not?

Expert Reply:
Yes, the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75540 will fit your 2018 Lexus RX 350 F Sport. We have it listed as fitting the F Sport as well as models aside from the F sport which is why the listing can be confusing some when looking at the product page.
To complete your towing setup I also recommend picking up the Tekonsha T-One # 118255 if you don't have the tow package or the T-One # 118252 if you do have the tow package. Then you can secure the wiring to the hitch you'll use the Mounting Brackets # C57202 and # 18144.
For a ball mount kit I recommend checking out the etrailer Kit # EBMK4.
Attached are some videos for you to reference.
