2017 Lexus RX 450h Trailer Hitch Installation And Review Videos

Best 2017 Lexus RX 450h Trailer Hitch Options- Video

Speaker 1: Today, we're gonna be taking a look at the best hitch options for your 2017 Lexus RX 450H. Up top here, we're gonna have our Curt and right below that, we'll have our draw tite. Now the first thing you're gonna notice is they do look quite a bit different. It's because when we install our hitch, we are gonna have to take into account that our exhaust is gonna be on our passenger side. Now the Cut has put in a slight curve right here to compensate for that. So our exhaust can actually go right underneath the hitch, whereas the draw tite is just gonna come straight across and we're actually gonna have to relocate the exhaust. more

Curt Trailer Hitch Installation - 2017 Lexus RX 450h- Video

Speaker 1: Today on our 2017 Lexus RX 450h, we're going to be taking a look at and showing you how to install the Curt Class III Custom Fit Trailer Hitch Receiver, part number C13282.Here we can see our Curt hitch installed on our Lexus, and the nice thing about this is it is going to be mainly hidden. It's going to be very minimal, and it's not going to be distracting from the looks on our Lexus.It is going to have that 2 inch by 2 inch receiver tube opening, which means we're going to have a ton of options for accessories that we can mount. So if you have a small trailer, you get a ball mount, or if you need to transport a few bikes, a bike rack, or maybe you're taking the family on a trip and you need a cargo carrier for that extra space.The hitch is going to be tucked up nicely right to the back of the fascia, and we can see it's pretty even from the side. So we're not going to have to worry about hitting our leg on it if we're walking behind our Lexus, or if we're loading something in the back.Our Curt hitch is going to have a loop style safety chain connection point. It's going to be welded to the bottom of the receiver tube. And as you can see, we're going to have a decent amount of room to get most sized hooks on or off without worrying about binding up, or the limited space.As far as how we're going to mount all of our accessories, this is a Class III, so it's going to take a standard 5/8ths pin and clip. more
