Trailer Hitch for a 2018 Lexus RX 450hL

Question

Question:

Do you know if this hitch would also fit the 2018 450hl frame? I would guess the frame is the same as for the 350L but my Lexus dealer cant seem to find an answer for me

I do have options for you depending on what you will be using the trailer hitch for but we do not have a trailer hitch which is listed as a fit for your 2018 Lexus RX 450hL as of May 2022. Therefore, I cannot confirm that the Draw-Tite Max-E-Loader Trailer Hitch Receiver part # DT65MR will work for you.

However, if you are wanting a trailer hitch for a bike rack then we do have trunk mounted bike rack options available for you like the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 3 Bike Rack part # HRF2-3. We also have roof rack options available for you like the Thule # TH711420, # TH710601 and # TH186044 that will allow you to use a cargo box like the Thule Force XT Rooftop Cargo Box part # TH6357B, a kayak carrier like the Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier and Lift Assist with Tie-Downs part # TH898, and much more.

Unfortunately, if the purpose of installing a trailer hitch on your RX 450hL is to tow a trailer then you would need to either look for alternative tow vehicles or wait for a trailer hitch to be developed/confirmed.

I'm not sure what wiring you purchased but if it's anything like the Curt T-Connector #C56217 for a 2021 Lexus RX 350 without the tow package then the system should be working once you get the module and fuse installed. If you aren't…

As long as your 2021 Lexus RX350 isn't the F-Sport model, the Curt Class III hitch, part #C73DR is a confirmed fit. The Curt #C13272 hitch you'd looked at isn't a confirmed fit. We haven't received any feedback stating that installing…

We do have a hitch that will fit your 2022 Lexus RX 350 with the Curt #C73DR. This hitch will still allow you to use your liftgate sensor, but you will need to kick to either side of the receiver as opposed to just swiping your foot under the bumper.…
