The Curt Trailer hitch when combined with our 2014 Lexus RX350 provided the easiest and complete DIY install you can get! The vehicle is set up from the factory for a hitch install which set the stage for an awesome result when coupled with the Curt receiver. It could not have been a better situation!

The item arrived on time, was a perfect fit for my car, installed easily (by a professional), and has been great.

2005 Chevrolet Silverado

The hitch was delivered early, it was packaged great no marks or scuffs and all the hardware was in place. I installed it myself in less than 2 hours, installation was easy per instruction and video

2011 Lexus RX350

2011 Lexus RX350: Hitch arrived faster than expected. Shipping box was damaged but thanks to proper packing there was no damage to the product. Hitch was exactly as described, fit perfectly and looked even nicer than I imagined. It looks nice because you can't really see it all. All you can see is the square tube opening where the ball mount is inserted and the safety chain loops. Even then they're hardly noticeable because they're below the bumper. I also ordered a rubber tube cover which gives it a very clean appearance. Thanks etrailer for a quality product, descriptive installation instructions and great service. The only real difficulty was lifting the hitch into place because I was doing the install by myself lying on the floor of my garage. A bit precarious at times but managed to do the complete install start to finish in less than an hour and a half. If you do have an extra pair of hands to help lift hitch into place, don't hesitate to use them.

Ive really only used it a handful of times but it has always performed perfectly.

2014 Lexus RX 350

Bought this hitch for my wife's 2014 RX-350. Installation went just as easy as the demo video explained it. As I'm not a tiny guy I put 3 inch wood blocks under the back wheels after setting the parking brake, and did the job myself. As I'm particular to do things right I took my time - totaling about 1.5 hours till all was done and everything put away. I won't actually use it till July to pull a trailer so I can't comment on how that works, but I don't expect any issues as it is bolted in place very solid.

I certainly am satisfied with the hitch, it works just fine as expected. Thanks.

Easy installation and nice finish on the hitch. My use is occasional light utility trailer towing and hitch mounted bike rack



by:
2011 Lexus RX 350

We have this hitch installed on our 2011 Lexus RX 350. A local muffler installer who also does trailer hitches did the work in about an hour for about $100. It fits perfectly. We use it exclusively for mounting our Thule receiver bicycle carrier. We are totally satisfied with the hitch and the online selection process on etrailer.com. Although we did not need their phone or online support for this item, we have used their service for other products and feel we can rely on their expertise.

In the photo you can see I have not yet reinstalled the plastic molding that was removed for the installation.



by:
2013 Lexus RX 350

Set up as described , perfect fit and install on 2013 Lexus RX 350 F - sport, took about an hour with a mechanic friend and all of the special tools, taking pop rivets out of all the trim and removing those parts was the slowest part of the entire install

Very Easy to install very happy with th is



by:
Pontiac Trans Sport Van

Everything I had hoped it to be! The hitch was delivered right on time as promised. It is of the highest quality, and will certainly last a very long time. I like the way it fits up tight into the bottom trim of the bumper and does not extend below the lowest part of the vehicle. Looks factory but at a much lower cost.

Installation would be easier with two people, especially for lifting it into position and installing the bolts, but I was able to manage it by myself (63 years old). I really appreciate the instructional videos etrailer has created. They are clear and easily understood and I referred to them a couple of times during the process.

I'll be using this primarily to transport my bikes on a tray rack, but like the versatility that I can also use it for small trailers, etc.

For me, this was the best value hitch for the money and I'm very satisfied. I've already recommended this hitch and etrailer to family and neighbors, and can easily recommend both to all.

Thank you!

Easy install



by:
2015 Lexus RX 350

Well built product; great price and quick delivery. My only comments are: 1) when you provide the directions it would be helpful if you also gave reference points like driver side and passenger side; 2) the hitch extends flush w the fascia which makes it tough to put my Bike rack on the car - all the other hitches that I see (OEM) or after market extend out at least 2 inches - would it be that much of a big deal to extend by an inch or two?
Overall a good product- thank you

Lexus RX350

I recently saw a few ugly trailer hitches installed on Lexus RX 350's. that were big, rusty contraptions hanging below the bumpers. I wanted a hitch that would be hidden and found one on etrailer.com that actually had a great youtube video of installation. The hitch arrived the day after ordering it. I installed it myself without a hoist and it looks factory perfect. I asked trailer.com what wiring harness I would need and was told to contact the dealer who sold the car to the previous owner. With the VIN number, they quickly found out my car had the factory tow package and I knew what harness to purchase. The custom hitch was great and the customer service was the best. I highly recommend etrailer.com



by:
2015 Lexus RX 350

Make sure you know if your Lexus is an F-Sport model or not. Your VIN decoded will help with this. I ordered the wrong one at first and realized it after I pressed Submit. Heidi, in customer service, was very helpful in getting the old order stopped and the correct item ordered. The hitch was a perfect fit. The written instructions are very detailed on how to install it and were very helpful. We only intend on using it for a Hitch Haul so I did not worry about the lights. Very simple to install, very solid, and a great value for the price compared to many others.



by:

Does the job! Installation was straightforward with the clear instructions provided. I'd buy it again if i needed another hitch.

After a year, Ive had no problems with this hitch. Quality stuff!



by:
2014 Lexus RX 350

The product was reasonably priced, with free shipping, and the quality was exceptional. Arrived as expected. Installation by local mechanics was quick and easy. They even mentioned the product quality was superb. The hitch was needed for a mobility scooter lift. Thank you.



by:
2011 Lexus RX 350

Installed the hitch in about an hour. Didn't have a lift to use, so we jacked up the rear end and put the car on stands. Things went very well. The hitch was as advertised. Thanks.



by:
Ford Edge

The delivery is quick, but it didn't pack well. The cover box was broken and my trailer hitch was exposed and got a little bit damage. It's a heavy part and suggest you can have some corrugated paper to protect the edge. Otherwise, this heavy part would punch through the box easily during the delivery.



by:

Easy to understand website. Quick deli very.

Needed a hitch on our new car for our bike rack. This one fit the car perfectly, hardly shows at all.



by:
2015 Lexus RX 350

Now our RX is ready for the bike rack. Not conspicuous but ready when we want to load the bikes and go. Could not have asked for better product and service.



by:

The hitch was extremely easy to install and has worked flawlessly. The instructions were clear and easy to use and I highly recommend this hitch.



by:

The instructions were precise. It took me about 90 minutes to install without any help. Another person would have made it much faster and easier. It looks great as hardly even noticeably. The electrical was done at the same time. As vehicle was tow prepped it was a plug in and couple of nylon ties.



by:

Great product and perfect fit.



by:
2013 Lexus RX 350

The hitch was as advertised and appears to be well made. The install instructions were based upon a 2010 Lexus RX350 and I installed the hitch on a 2013 Lexus RX350 without any problem. The install took me about 3 hours working alone without any power tools or lifts. I'm sure a younger person could do it must faster.

  • What Bike Rack Has The Most Clearance On A 2010 Lexus RX 350
    Yes, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13143 is an excellent choice for your 2010 Lexus RX 350. We have a number of bike racks that will fit a hitch receiver opening of 2" and the Swagman XC 2-Bike Rack Platform Style part # S64650 is one of them. Although the Swagman XC is a great bike rack, the clearance between the center of the hitch pin hole and closest part of the bike rack is not ideal. For an even greater distance, I recommend the Swagman Dispatch 2 Bike Platform Rack...

  • Do Curt Trailer Hitches Include Hitch Cover
    The Curt trailer hitches we offer, such as the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13143 that is confirmed to fit your 2013 Lexus RX 350, do not include a hitch cover. We have a large selection of hitch covers available like the Curt Rubber Tube Cover # I-728 or # C22272 that are designed for 2 inch hitch receivers.

  • Recommended 2-Inch Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2010 Lexus RX 350
    We offer three brands of Class III hitch for your 2010 Lexus RX 350 that can be seen on the linked page. All of them require SOME amount of trimming of the rear fascia but none requires any drilling. Between the options I recommend the Curt # C13143 because it is lowest in price and has a higher tongue weight capacity (600-lbs) than the Draw-Tite # 75676. All hitches include the required mounting hardware; written instructions, a video and an article on hitch installation are linked also. If...

  • Bike Rack and Hitch Compatibility on 2015 Lexus RX 350 with 2-Inch Class III Hitch
    Only 2-inch Class III hitches like Curt # C13143 are offered for your 2015 Lexus RX350 so what you'll do is use a hitch reducer sleeve # HT02 in the 2-inch receiver to downsize it to a 1-1/4-inch opening. You can then use your 1-1/4-inch bike rack in the RX 350. You'll need a 5/8-inch hitch pin # PC3 to secure the reducer in the 2-inch hitch. A pin for the 1-1/4-inch accessory carrier is included.

  • Length of Receiver Tubes on 2-Inch Hitches for 2010 Lexus RX350
    I went to our warehouse and measured the receiver tubes on the three hitches offered for your 2010 Lexus RX350. On the Draw-Tite # 75676 (and the identical hitch 87569) the receiver tube is 6-inches long and the hitch pin hole is 2-1/2-inches from the end of the receiver tube. But for more clearance you can use the Curt Class III hitch # C13143 for your hitch-mount electric lift since it offers a 9-inch receiver tube that does not have a backing plate like the other hitches do. This 9-inch...

  • Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendation for 2010 Lexus RX 450 for Bike with Fenders
    For a bike that has fenders the Thule DoubleTrack Pro XT # TH92BJ is a great option. Reason being that it grabs the bikes at the frame with a very easy to use and effective clamp system instead of needing to grab the bike's tire which a fender would interfere with. For a hitch for your 2010 Lexus RX450H we have the Curt hitch part # C13143 which would work well for the bike rack mentioned and on your vehicle as it is a custom fit.

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendation for 2015 Lexus RX 350 F-Sport
    Yes, for your 2015 Lexus RX 350 F-Sport without the factory tow package the correct trailer wiring harness you'll need is the Tekonsha kit part # 118255 which will give you a 4-way. This will work great with the Curt hitch part # C13143 you plan to install as well. If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900.

    The F-Sport version of the 2015 Lexus RX 350 is a trim package with a stiffer chassis and larger wheels. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13143 will fit versions with or without the F-Sport trim package. The Curt trailer hitch is a Class III receiver with a 2" tube opening. The hitch has a maximum weight capacity of 600 lbs tongue weight (TW) and 4,000 lbs gross trailer weight (GTW). However, you will need to confirm the vehicle's maximum TW and GTW and abide by the lower of the...

    The Draw-Tite Class III Hitch, # 75676, and the Curt Class III Hitch, part # C13143, are the same hitches, so the installation will be the same on your 2010 Lexus RX350. There is an appearance panel underneath the rear of your vehicle that has to be removed and a 5 inch X 8 inch section cut out of the rear of the panel for the Draw-Tite, and a 6 inch x 4 inch section for the Curt. After the panel is trimmed it is reinstalled on the vehicle. It is not really noticeable unless you lean down...

  • Recommended Bike Carrier for 2015 Lexus RX 350
    The best way to transport bikes on your new 2015 Lexus RX 350 is to install a trailer hitch and use a hitch-mount rack. Hitch racks place the entire weight burden of the rack and bikes on the car's frame - it's strongest part - rather than on its thin sheet metal. The hatch hinge on your car is made to handle the weight of the hatch itself, but it is not really intended to also support a 70 to 100-lb load from bikes and their carrier.
