Expert Reply:

Absolutely correct; no drilling into the frame of your 2023 Lexus RX 350 is required, and you will use the existing frame holes to install the Draw-Tite hitch that fits, which is the following part number:

- Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT73QR

If you take a look at the cut out of the instructions of the # DT73QR I added, you can see the holes where the hitch will install. This is about as easy a hitch install as there is, because all you do is remove those rubber plugs from the frame holes bolt it in and you're done.

I also wanted to add that if you plan on doing some towing with your RX 350 and need a 4-way wiring harness, the correct part is the Wiring Harness with Installation Kit # 119250KIT.

We have a hitch for your 2023 Lexus RX 350h with the Curt part #C29VV but the Draw Tite you mentioned does not work. The Curt would still allow the rear kick sensor to open the rear tailgate but you would have to kick to either side of the hitch.
