Question:

When installing the Curt rec hitch on a 2015 Lexus RX 350 can you reinstall the tow hooks you removed in the install movie? I may want to use them as tie down points.

On the F-Sport models of the 2015 Lexus RX 350 the tow loops (or hooks), cannot be reattached. But on the other models of the RX 350 they can be reattached after installation. It sounds like you have a model that would allow them to be reinstalled.

I attached an install video for you to check out as well.
