Can I Use the Stealth Hitch for 2018 Lexus RX 350 on a 2018 Lexus RX350L

Question

Question:

I have a 2018 Lexus RX350L. I dont know if the Linch makes a difference in the fitment or installation. Is it possible for this hitch to be used? Or, will I need to go with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13394? Thank you.

I have a solution for you, but the frame of the Lexus RX 350 is different than the frame of the Lexus RX350L, so if you've got a 2018 Lexus RX 350L you won't be able to use the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # 391LXRX16. With that said, the Curt # C13394 is a confirmed fit and because Curt hitches tend to have the best powder coatings on them, they're a great choice when it comes to having a high quality hitch that will last for a long time.

If you're going to be towing with this hitch and need a wiring harness you can use the Tekonsha # 118252 if you've got the factory towing package; if you don't have the factory towing package you'll want to use the Curt # C59236 since it has a powered converter that will prevent backfeed that could damage your vehicle's electrical system.

To round out a complete towing setup you'll need a ball mount, hitch ball, hitch pin and clip. I recommend using the etrailer Ball Mount Kit # 989900 since it comes with 2 ball mounts with varying rise/drop, 2 hitch balls (1-7/8" and 2"), hitch pin, clip and storage bag, since it's going to allow you to cover a variety of different towing setups.

I've linked some review and installation videos that you might find helpful, as well.
