Length of Receiver Tubes on 2-Inch Hitches for 2010 Lexus RX350

Question:

On the hitches for my 2010 Lexus RX350, How long does the 2 inch hole for the ball hitch go in? Im putting a lift on the hitch and it requires several inches of depth to work for my electric lift.

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 receiver tube is completely free of any stops, welds or other obstructions that would prevent using a hitch accessory with a very long shank.

This Curt hitch # C13143 has a downward force (or tongue weight) capacity of 600-lbs. This means that your lift and what you load onto it together cannot weigh more than 600-lbs. If your Lexus owner's manual indicates a lower TW rating for the car itself, then abide by the lower rating.

If you'd like a lock to secure the lift in the hitch you can use # e98882.
