Best 2018 Lexus RX 450h Trailer Hitch Options

Speaker 1: Today we're going to be taking a look at the best hitch options for your 2018 Lexus RX 450H.Up top here, we're going to have our Curt, and right below that, we'll have our Draw-Tite. Now the first thing that you're going to notice is that they do look quite a bit different. It's because when we install our hitch, we are going to have to take into account that our exhaust is going to be on our passenger's side.Now, the Curt 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 going to come straight across, and we're actually going to have to relocate the exhaust.Now on this side, where the hitch is going to mount to our frame, there is two small holes in the side here where our exhaust bolts are going to go through, and it's going to lower down a few inches.So if we do decide to go with the Draw-Tite, just keep in mind that the exhaust is going to be a little bit more visible on the back of our Lexus. Now both of our hitches are going to require some trimming of a plastic underbody panel. It's not a big deal. It's just right where the receiver tube is going to come out, and we are going to have to trim that plastic so that it has room.Now on the Draw-Tite also, we're going to have to do a little bit more trimming because that tube is going to come straight across, and we're going to have to make room for that as well.Now when it comes to mounting accessories in either one of our hitches, clearance is going to be a key factor. more

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

Curt Trailer Hitch Installation - 2017 Lexus RX 450h

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
