The hitch I recommend is the Draw-Tite, part # 75676. We carry two hitches for your 2012 Lexus RX 350, the Draw-Tite and a Curt, and they're both pretty much the same design from different manufacturers. The Draw-Tite is less expensive and you're not gaining any quality with the more expensive Curt.

I recommend part # 118478 for the 4-way wiring. It plugs in behind both tail lights on your Lexus. Then you need to run a wire up to the battery.

I've linked videos of both the hitch and wiring being installed for you.

You also need a ball mount and hitch ball to tow a trailer. I've linked our selection of each one for you. You need to select a ball mount that has the rise or drop you need with your trailer. Then the hitch ball needs to fit the ball mount as well as your trailer's coupler. I've also linked an article to help you determine the rise or drop you need.

Then finally use part # PC3 for the pin and clip.
