You'll definitely want to buy the hitch before you get your trailer. For your 2006 Lexus IS250 you will want the Curt Trailer Hitch item # C11372. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Lexus with included hardware. This is the highest capacity hitch available for the IS 250 and the only option.
The Curt Trailer Hitch item # C11372 is a class I hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver. It has a 2,000 lbs towing capacity and a 200 lbs maximum tongue weight.
I have linked an installation video below.
Since you are planning on towing you will also need a wiring harness item # C59236 and the Draw-Tite Drawbar item # 3593 and then for hitch balls item # 19258 for a 2 inch ball or item # 19256 for a 1-7/8 inch ball.
