Installation
This custom-fit T-connector plugs into your vehicle's factory tow package wiring harness, which is located behind the rear bumper, along the driver's-side frame rail.
Once installation is complete, the 4-way connector will be stowed beneath your vehicle, near the trailer hitch. A mounting bracket (sold separately) is recommended to keep the connector secure.
It is recommended that you use a small amount of grease on all electrical connections - the plug on your automobile and the 4-pole connector itself - to help prevent corrosion.

When it comes to quick, slick, and easy DIY relative to a trailer hitch wiring harness for trailer lights, this puppy is the ticket! I am not a very technically adept individual and so having the simplicity that this plug-and-play harness offers is HUGE!
by: JR04/30/2024
Took my local independent garage only 45~ minutes to Completely install and wire. The 6" cut of the underneath plastic is about 8"-12" depending on car FYI. Good assistance via phone and a perfect recommendation. Nice quality hitch! Wiring is plug and play!

Shipping was prompt and extremely well packaged. I received timely updates on the progress of my order (which was much appreciated as I needed this an upcoming trip). Both the recommended hitch and wiring harness were a perfect fit. The installation video and PDF were informative and accurate, making the installation stress free and within the estimated timeframe. One hint: if working alone, a floor jack to support the hitch works as well as another set of hands.
This was my second order from E-trailer. Their products and support are excellent.
by: Todd12/01/2023
Very happy with my etrailer purchase. The dealership wanted to charge $1,700.00 to install my hitch. Etrailer saved me significantly without any hassles. I was able to purchase and have my mechanic install a hitch for 1/3 of the dealership cost.

The wiring worked out great! It was an exact fit for my car. This is really a great website with plenty of technical information for making a buying decision and plenty of videos to help support the installation process. After a year of you something zero problems.

The video combined with actual product made this install easy. The connector was exactly where it should be, it plugged in and with the 5 ties, it went snuggly into place.

2010 Lexus RX 450h
Literally cannot get simpler to install than this. Luckily, my 2010 Lexus Rx450H was set up with the factory tow package (and luckily I kept the window sticker to verify that!), so once the trim panel below the bumper is removed, the electrical connection is on the driver's side frame rail, capped. Remove cap, plug in the wiring harness, zip tie to the cross bar of the hitch, you're done. Shipping was super fast--ordered on Wednesday 6-14-17, scheduled for arrival 6-19-17, arrived late morning 6-17-17. Thank you!
I'm using it to tow troop equipment and canoe trailers for my son's Boy Scout events.

As easy as all the reviews said it would be. Took a little while to get new bolts started that replaced OE self-tapping bolts. But it all lined up and gave a professional finished look when completed. Now I'm ready to help my friend install the hitch on his wife's RX. Won't hesitate to recommend etrailer.com to all in the future.

Simple plug and play installation.
by: James07/27/2020
Great product, excellent support. Very easy install in 25 minutes. Install directions very good. Holes are slotted in hitch, would recommend starting all bolts leaving bolts loose, then center hitch by bumping with wooden block before tightening. Then torque to spec.
by: Michael05/18/2023
Hitch fit perfectly and instructions were clear. It would be nice if there were a method for stowing the wiring harness connector out of sight.
by: Carey P.09/22/2020
Fits perfectly ... installed in less than an hour with a second set of hands from my son. And the genesis that snapped right in to the prewired rx350 tow wiring package .... all at 1/3 of the price the Lexus dealer was going to charge !!

you guys did a great job. you got me exactly what i asked for and got it out quick. the trailer hitch is actually much better than i was expecting. it is very heavy duty and mounts to the vehicle with 6 bolts instead of just 4 bolts like other manufacturers hitches do. i can't wait to install it and tow something lol. once again thanks for the great job and nice product

All I can say is, thanks etrailer for having the right product for the Job!! Product as advertised! Installation was a breeze taking only 45 minutes. I did the installation without raising the vehicle up off the ground. As a side note, the Lexus dealer wanted over $700 for doing the same job, no surprise there..

Super easy installation. Great guidance on parts that fit your tow vehicle.

Fit perfectly on our Lexus RX 350 and there was plenty of length to allow you to route the wiring harness any way you choose. The video series etrailer puts together on how to install the time is wonderful and very helpful, especially for those who learn by watching someone do the install first.

- Can The Bumper Fascia On a 2022 Lexus RX 350 Be Trimmed With a Razor Blade? 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...

We have found that there are several vehicles that even if they do not have the tow package the wiring is still ran and functional. I attached an install video for this harness for you to check out as well.

This harness connects in-line with the running light, brake light and turn signal circuit, and will work great on your 2010 Lexus RX-350. The T-One wiring harness draws power directly from the vehicles battery via an in-line fuse so your electrical system is safe. Part # 118478 is designed this way to protect your electrical system.

There are no custom fit 7-way harnesses either so this is by far the best and only option. The first harness you will need is the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package item # 56083. The custom-fit T-connector plugs into your Lexus's factory tow package wiring harness, which is located behind the rear...

Another option would be to go with the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness, # 118478. The T-One connector plugs directly into the existing wiring at the back of your taillights.

The plug may be there but the necessary connections may be missing. I recommend checking with your local Lexus dealer to determine what is needed to activate the towing package. Some vehicles will need to be reprogrammed at a dealership to allow this wiring harness to work.
view full answer... - What Plug-And-Play 4-Way Harness Fits My 2022 Lexus RX350 with Factory Tow Package? For a plug-and-play harness for your 2022 Lexus RX 350, that is the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package # 56083. This connector plugs directly into OEM tow package port. If you need a 7-way harness in addition to the 4-way, I recommend the Universal Installation Kit - 7-Way # ETBC7. With this particular harness, you will need to splice into the wiring already installed. We unfortunately do not carry a plug-in option for a 7-way for your 2022 Lexus RX 350.

After installing the mounting bracket, you will simply route the 4-way through the bracket opening and input the cap on the end of the connector. The opening on the bracket is 1-3/8 inches in length horizontally. You can use the bracket along with the short bracket # 18140 for a no drill application....

Because if it does not have the factory tow package then you would need to install a different wiring harness, # 118478. I have linked a video showing how it installs. If it does have the factory tow package then re-check the following fuses: Under the hood locations 43 and 44; Driver's side instrument panel fuse box location 22. If those are all good to go then you...

- Trailer Hitch and Wiring Needed for 2018 Lexus RX 350 with Tow PackageI'm not sure what the difference would be between having a tow package vs having an active tow package save that in some models you might need some fuses or relays to make the tow package active. For your 2018 Lexus RX 350 it will either come with the tow package or without the tow package. Since yours came with the tow package that lets me know what wiring kit will work.
