Nice trailer hitch. It was a no brainer to install.

I just finished installing a CURT trailer hitch to my '04 Lexus LS430. Unusually tow vehicle but needed hitch to haul a motorcycle. Etrailer's directions were easy to follow, however, a projected install time of 30 minutes was very ambitious for a novice installer (like myself). Overall, pleased with the look of the hitch and the service provided by Etrailer.

Good quality hitch. Had to cut end of both tailpipe hanger brackets to get it installed properly but once on it looks good and works fine.

My experience with etrailer was nothing but positive! I spoke with Brittney who gave good information on the product and availability and told her that I had to verify something before placing an order. I called back and ordered the hitch thru Heidi, next day air, and shortly after that Brittney called me back just to make sure I was taken care of. Great service.

Trailer hitch for my '02 Lexus arrived in record time..It appears to be a fairly easy installation for the hitch proper and the instructions are good.

When installing on a Lexus LS430, give yourself 2hrs install time. Hitch goes under both mufflers brackets.

Watched a couple videos to get familiar with the installation. Installation was no problem. I have been using it for a year now and it has held up great.

- Hitch Receiver Options for a Thule T2 Platform Rack on 2001 Lexus LS 430For your 2001 Lexus LS 430, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch # C12231, a Class I 1-1/4 inch receiver perfect for your Thule T2 TH9045 and is custom fit for your vehicle. It features bolt-on installation with no welding required. It is made in the US and includes the drawbar, pin and clip. I have included instructions for the proper installation of this product on your car. I have also included a video showing the installation of your bike rack on a 2012 Volkswagen Jetta. While it is...
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2005 Lexus LS 430I have a different option for you, but the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13900 you were looking at is not confirmed to fit your 2005 Lexus LS 430. Instead I recommend the Curt # C12231 which is currently the only trailer hitch receiver confirmed to fit your specific vehicle. This hitch has a 1-1/4" receiver with a 250lb tongue weight rating and 2500lb trailer weight rating making it a perfect choice for carrying a bike rack, cargo carrier, or adding a ball mount to tow a trailer. If...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch and Wiring Harness for 2003 Lexus LS430We do indeed offer a hitch and trailer wiring harness for a 2003 Lexus LS430. For a hitch, I'd recommend the US made Curt Class II hitch, part # C12231 along with the # C59236 trailer wiring harness. You'll also need a # C45510 ball mount, a # PC2 hitch pin and # 19256 for a 1-7/8 or # 19258 for a 2 inch trailer ball.
view full answer... - Higher Capacity Bike Rack for 2 Bikes on a 2003 Lexus LS 430The Thule OutWay trunk mount platform bike rack, part # TH65JV, can carry up to two 33 pound bikes. It's not rated to carry your 48 pound e-bike and neither are any of the trunk mount racks we carry. Your best option is to add a hitch to your 2003 Lexus LS 430 and use a hitch mount bike rack. The Saris Freedom, part # SA4412B, is a great rack that can handle up to 60 pound bikes. Also the rack itself only weighs about 22-12 pounds. The Thule you looked at is about twice that. For a...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2004 Lexus LS 430The two Curt hitches both look pretty similar but they have different mount hole patterns on the mounting flanges as they are for different vehicle configurations. The part # C12230 will not fit on your 2004 Lexus LS 430. For that you'll need the part # C12231 that you also referenced as it is a confirmed fit. The towing capacity of this hitch is 2,500 lbs which means the hitch is strong enough for that trailer weight. Now you'll need to also check the owners manual of your vehicle to...

Trailer hitch functions as expected. My only glitch is I ended up with a random vibration that Ive been unable to track down. As with these kinds of issues itll end up being something simple and Ill be happier after I figure it out. Product works wonderfully.
