It is very difficult and dangerous to try to trim the fascia on your 2022 Lexus RX 350 using a razor blade when you install the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75540. Since you have to trim the rear fascia as well as a couple panels under your Lexus to install the receiver you have a couple options. First you can take your Lexus to a service center before you install the receiver to have the panels trimmed per the manufacturer instructions that are linked below. You can also pickup a small hacksaw from a local hardware store that will allow you to cutout all the panels needed.

I do recommend installing the 4-Way Harness # 56083 when you install the receiver. This will make it easier to secure it in place using the Mounting Brackets # 18140 & # 18144 directly to the crossbar on the receiver.
