Best 2008 Lexus RX 350 Hitch Options- Video
Today we're going to be taking a look at the best hitches available for the 2008 Lexus RX350. Here we've got our Curt, this is a Class III hitch, part number 13530. Followed by the Draw-Tite also a Class III, part number 75153. Now from a few feet away, the hitches are going to look very similar to one another with the exception maybe of the drop down. This is designed to accommodate our exhaust. It goes down and around the exhaust rather than having to remove that or lower it. You can see the Curt, is going to be a little bit narrower than what we've got on the Draw-Tite. The Draw-Tite gap here is just a little bit bigger so you might want to keep that in mind. more

Trailer Hitch Installation - 2008 Lexus RX 330 - Draw-Tite- Video
Today on our 2008 Lexus RX 350 we'll be installing the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Class III Trailer Hitch Receiver, part number 75153. All right, so here's what the hitch looks like installed. As you can it's tucked up nicely underneath our bumper here and wraps around our exhaust, giving our exhaust plenty of room so when our vehicle goes over bumps we don't have to worry about the tail pipe moving around and banging into the hitch making noise. This hitch is a real simple installation, it only takes a few minutes, there's no drilling, cutting, welding required. It goes into factory wall nuts already in the frame, it replaces your factory tow hooks. This hitch has a nice powder coat finish to it which will provide us many years of rust free and corrosion free service. more

Trailer Hitch Installation - 2008 Lexus RX 330 - Curt- Video
Today on our 2008 Lexus RX 350, we'll be installing the curt class 3 trailer hitch receiver, part number 13530. Here's what our hitch looks like installed. As you can see, it's tucked up nicely underneath our bumper cover here. It wraps around our exhaust here, so you don't have to worry about when going over bumps, having to listen to your muffler or your tail pipe rattle around and bang up against the hitch and cause noise. As you can see here, I'm moving it here pretty good and it comes nowhere close to hitting our hitch. Our hitch has our standard class 3 two inch opening here. On the side of it, we have our 5 eighths inch diameter hitch pin hole here to secure your ball mount, your bike rack or your cargo carrier or any other hitch mounted accessory you may have. We have our nice easy to use safety chain loops on a plate welded to the bottom of the receiver here and you can easily fit your large diameter safety chain here without a problem. This hitch has a nice, round tubular construction and it's powder coated in a high gloss black finish, so it will provide us many years of corrosion and rust free service. This hitch has a 3,500 pound max gross trailer weight rating and a 350 pound max ton weight rating. If you we're to step up to a weight distribution system with your trailer, the capacity increases to 4,000 pounds mass gross trailer weight rating and 400 pounds max gross ton weight rating. You will want to consult with the owner's manual of your Lexus RX 350 to see if it's capable of towing that much weight. more
