Trailer Hitches Available to Fit 2009 Lexus RX 350

Question:

A few days ago i saw and found on your site the Hidden Hitch Reciever for a Lexus 2009 RX350. I believe the model is #70778. As of today I do not see it offered on your site. Is it available? Thanks,

The Hidden Hitch trailer hitch you referenced is no longer available for your 2009 Lexus RX 350. Instead of the Hidden Hitch, an identical option is the Draw-Tite Class III Max Frame Round Tube Receiver Hitch # 75153 because Draw-Tite is Hidden Hitch's sister company. The Draw-Tite and Hidden Hitch hitches have the same design and are manufactured by the same parent company.

I've attached an installation video of the Draw-Tite trailer hitch on a similar vehicle as yours, and the installation instructions are also linked.

For a trailer hitch that offers the capability of being used with a weight distribution system for towing a trailer, and comes with a more economical price tag, the Curt Class III Round Tube Receiver Hitch # 13530 is the trailer hitch that I recommend for you. An installation video of this hitch on a similar RX 350 is linked for you.

If you plan on using your trailer hitch to carry bikes, I recommend a platform bike rack such as the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE2 2-Bike Platform Rack # HR1450Z. I really like this rack because it will allow you to tilt the rack away from the vehicle while the bikes are loaded so you can gain access to the rear cargo area. This bike rack also includes an anti-rattle locking hitch pin and the ratchet arms lock to secure the bikes to the rack.
