Is Rear Damper of 2016 Lexus RX 350 F Sport Removed for Hitch Install
Question:
Would I need to remove the rear damper on my 2016 Lexus RX 350 F Sport to install this hitch? The instructions do not mention that. Also, can you confirm that rear damper does not need to be permanently removed? Thanks

Since the Curt Hitch part # C13272 installs by simply raising up into position at the rear of your vehicle and then bolting it into place there would be no need for you to remove the rear damper or any body panels to installation.
If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.
If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
For trailer wiring you would then want the part # 118252.
