This hitch gives you the freedom to tow, haul, and carry what you need without overcomplicating things. With a 3,500-lb maximum gross trailer weight and 525-lb tongue weight rating, it’s ready for light trailers, small campers, or loaded cargo carriers. When used with a weight distribution system, capacity bumps up to 4,000 lbs GTW while maintaining 525 lbs TW. The 2" x 2" receiver is the common size for most ball mounts, bike racks, and cargo trays, so you can easily hook up your gear.
The fully welded steel frame and square-tube design make this hitch sturdy and dependable. It’s coated with a gloss black powder finish over a protective base layer that resists rust and corrosion even after seasons of road grime and weather exposure. The result is a tough, solid hitch that keeps its clean look longer.
This receiver is designed for a straightforward bolt-on installation that uses existing mounting points on the frame—no welding needed. The complete hardware kit and installation instructions are included to make the job easier whether you’re working in your garage or driveway. The concealed cross tube helps keep a cleaner appearance under the bumper, so everything looks tidy once installed.
From hauling tools to pulling your boat or camper, this hitch is made for regular use. The precision robotic welds ensure consistent strength and alignment for safe towing mile after mile. And because ball mount, pin, and clip are sold separately, you can choose exactly what works best for your setup and change it out as your needs evolve.

Fit like glove
PERFECT FIT!!
It literally took me 10 minutes to install on a 2021 RX350
It still doing a great job
Great quality, fast delivery, and the installation videos in etrailer make install step by step easy.
fits my 2022 Lexus RX just perfect, looks great
A nice quality product. Easy one man installation. Perfect fit.
This is my second Curt hitch receiver I buy from etrailer. The first one was for my older 08 RX350, this one was for my 21 RX350. The price was very good, the shipment was prompt, and the packaging was solid. The installation instructions provided on the PDF and the videos make the installation process very straightforward.
The only issue I had was with one of the "ears" of the receiver (right ear if looking at it from the front) which was bent inward about 1.4 inch or so. I didn't realize this was the case until I had to screw in the bolts on that side of the receiver and realized they were not lining up. I took the receiver off (hadn't torqued the bolts yet, so it wasn't a big deal) and used my rubber mallet to straighten it. After that, it was a smooth installation.
My receiver definitely pushes against the bottom plastic of the bumper, but it didn't crack it and it is not that noticeable. I really don't have a problem with it. I saved myself hundreds by going this route and not go to Lexus to get the OEM part and I would do it again. It is worth noting my RX doesn't have the kick sensor.
Overall, great product and service, once again.

Thank you for the detailed review! Sorry to hear your hitch bent a bit in shipping, we see that happen sometimes and usually recommend doing exactly what you did to help straighten it back out. We look forward to assisting you on your next adventure in the future!
Fit was great and quality is outstanding
Very rugged hitch. The installation folks said that it fit perfectly as they sometimes have difficult installations with hybrid vehicles. No issues at all with this one. Etrailer has been great and we will be purchasing a hitch bike rack from them!
The hitch fits my Lexus perfectly! It was very easy to install. Very high-quality product!
Everything about your website so easy to navigate from the selection to the order process so and so forth. You’ll definitely see me back at your website over and over again.
Installed on a 2022 Lexus RX450h. A lot more installation work than previous installs I've done, but it's a Lexus issue, not etrailer's.The biggest part of the process is step 1: Removal of the Underbody Panel, and later cutting it to fit. The rear muffler hanger also needs to be removed to slip the receiver bracket in. I did the job in about 2 hours with the learning curve. Parts fit was good and all necessary hardware was included to mount the receiver bracketry. Careful not to damage any of the Underbody Panel push pins when removing them. No cutting of external painted bumper panels is necessary. End result is that it looks great!
Super simple installation,the videos were helpful!
Absolute dream to install, I am impressed!! Nice job Curt and Etrailers service is always impeccable!!
Product fitted perfectly with the vehicle, so installation was easy. Thanks!
Absolutely the easiest install of any product I've ever had. And, it is solid as a rock. Super high quality and ease of installation = the perfect product! And, the etrailer review and installation videos were 100% truthful and helpful - that is extremely rare these days! Great job all around!!
This is the fifth product I've ordered from your company and every time it gets better and better. Yours is the only trailer equipment company I will ever deal with the instructions were clear the install was incredibly efficient and worked perfectly. You have a great company and I appreciate your products and your help
Sturdy receiver, good price, fast shipping, easy installation, helpful install video… what more could you want? Five stars.
Great communication, package very well
Bolted up with no problems, if no helper is present I used a pair of floor jacks to hold up the hitch while I started the bolts.
The shipping was quick and clear.
I was able to see the shipping every step of the way including a map view of where it was located.
Communication with etrailer.com was great.
I almost purchased my hitch from another popular company used by everyone but the reviews were showing that they only wrapped the hitch in plastic wrap which caused the hitch coating to be scratched.
My hitch arrived perfectly in a box with protection inside as though it was freshly powder coated.
The install on a 2020 Lexus RX350 was so easy.
Probably under 20 minutes altogether.
I am so impressed with etrailer.com.
The online install videos were very helpful.
Thank you for taking pride in your work.
Great job!!
This Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver arrived on time.
Fits Perfectly! Easy to install. Looks Great Sleek design, Great Quality.
Good Value. This is the Third Hitch I have Purchased from Etrailer, every hitch has been Great!
Great Customer Service/Support!
I Highly Recommend Etrailer!
The hitch is good quality and easy to install if you have a helper or a couple of jacks to support it. If you are trying to install it without a lift or a helper or jacks I hope you have been doing a lot of weight lifting to prepare. The instructions indicated that you should trim the bumper of the car. I found that completely unnecessary with my 2020 Lexus RX 350.
I was hesitant to order this receiver due to conflicting reviews regarding it's compatibility with my 2018 RX 350 f sport.
I am sure glad I took the chance! The install was flawless. From unboxing to tightening the last bolt my install time was less than 30 minutes.
The receiver does not rub at all. No trimming was required. If you are on the fence like I was, just go ahead and make the purchase.
Straightforward installation on 2022 Lexus RX 450h. I’m an average-sized guy, able to do this safely without having to raise the vehicle.
I needed to use an extension (~30” pipe) to exert the 79 lb-ft of torque called for. Maybe my new torque wrench is miscalibrated or maybe I’m just a lot weaker than I thought.
The most helpful video instructions for my 2022 Lexus RX450h were from U-Haul.
Shipping was fast and flawless from E-Trailer.

The receiver is inconspicuous but very professional appearing. No problems whatsoever after a year.
Installed on a 2021 RX450h with F Sport package. Works great. Just have to remove the dampener/toe hook from the f sport setup and trim the plastic underbody cover. Super easy.

10 minutes?! I am going to have to see if we can send you a trophy or something cause that has to be the fastest hitch install both sides of the Mississippi! That is great to hear though, nothing better than an easy install. Got any fun plans with this new hitch??
