Is The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C29VV For a 2024 Lexus RX 350h Considered a Concealed Hitch?

Question:

Have a 2024 Lexus RX350H. I am interested in the Curt Hitch #C29VV. I wanted to know if this is considered a concealed hitch? Also wanted to know if there is anything additional special part is needed if my vehicle has the parking assist feature?

I don't consider the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C29VV as a concealed hitch since the cross tube is still visible below the vehicle fascia. Currently I do not see that we offer a receiver with a fully hidden cross tube or removable receiver for your 2024 Lexus RX 350h.

With having the rear sensors for the park assist when you have a trailer or hitch mounted accessory it is most likely going to set off the sensors. Your owners manual or dealer should be able to explain what you can do to turn off the systems in these instances.

I do recommend installing the 4-Way # C59236 when you install the receiver. This will allow you to connect to small trailers or add Auxiliary Lights # C53201 should your hitch mounted accessory require them.
