Features to know about

Carry More Gear with Confidence: Class III 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver

This Class III hitch gives you a solid way to haul bikes, cargo, or small trailers. With a 4,000 lbs maximum gross trailer weight and 600 lbs tongue weight rating, it’s built strong for everyday towing jobs and weekend trips. The 2" x 2" receiver opening works with most popular bike racks, cargo carriers, and ball mounts so you can attach gear you already have without messing with extra adapters.

Keep It Looking Sharp: Rugged Matte Black Powder Coat Finish

The matte black powder coat gives this hitch a tough, carbide-like appearance that stands out from glossy finishes. It’s not just about looks — the finish is corrosion resistant and hides dirt, scuffs, and scratches better than shiny paint. Whether you’re towing or hauling gear, it keeps your setup looking clean and durable through every trip.

Bolt It On and Get Moving: Custom Fit with No Welding Required

This fully welded hitch bolts right onto the vehicle frame using the included hardware with no welding needed. The precision robotic welding makes for a strong, consistent fit that lines up where it should. The concealed cross tube keeps the receiver tucked away for a cleaner look once installed, so you get both strength and style without extra fabrication work.

Used this product before (it’s on another one of my vehicles). Works great. Light weight and great price



by:

The hitch fit perfectly. I liked the snug stealth look. It doesn't stick out too much



by:

The instructions were excellent. Customer service amazing.



by:

Quick to order, quick to ship,quick to me!And the best price to boot! I don't know how they make money at these prices!(I install hitches for a living)



by:

Two of the screws rubbed out during installation. I had to use the Lexus-manufactured screws removed with the tow hook attachments. The Screw threads are not the best quality.



by:

Easy install



by:

Two of the six bolt holes did not align with the frame of the vehicle requiring 1 hour of shop time to grind out the bolt holes so the holes aligned with the frame. Other than the bolt holes, the hitch itself is well made and was delivered as promised.

QUALITY PRODUCTS and Quality Company that recognizes Military Veterans with a generous discount!



by:

Great product. Great instructions for install. I was able to do it myself with no help. I am a 60 yo woman. I used car ramps. I installed in on a RX450h 2013. It took me 2 hours because I had to set up and gather items. I hadnt done this before. I used stuff I had around me(a pail and some wood pieces) to prop it up so I could get the screws started. I borrowed a torque wrench. And reinstalled the fascia. It looks great.



by:

Great quality. Matched my car perfectly (RX45h).
Attention to details noted.



by:

Super easy to install, more mods needed on the plastic cover that my Lexus has! Not shown in the video.



by:

Shipping and customer service was excellent. The product was easy to install with no needed assistance. After a year of use it is holding up as expected. No issues or negatives to speak of.



by:

Excellent product. Install of actual hitch was relatively easy. However removal of facia and reinstall was time consuming and challenging.



by:

This is the third trailer hitch that I’ve bought through etrailers, always a great and affordable product. My most recent hitch arrived in a box that was essentially broken open with several parts of the hitch sticking out. However, damage was minimal and it is just a hitch that’s going to get beat up, so I didn’t stress it.



by:

I like that I. Got the matte



by:

Love the hitch. Easy to install. Great price and shipping was fast. No need to contact customer service though I’m sure they would have been just as good.



by:

Quality hitch, perfect fit. All necessary hardware was included. Easy install after reviewing the install video by etrailer. Would highly recommend this product. Thank you.



by:

I have had this hitch for a year now and it is still performing well. We use it with a hitch carrier for vacations and we carry lots of stuff extra.



by:

Installed it on my own. Didn’t even need to lift the back of the vehicle, although that might have made it easier. Surprise part is that adding the little bit of weight at the back helps my RX 350 not rattle so much in the second row seats.



by:

Hitch fit perfectly. Well built,heavy duty. Great customer service. Fast shipping.



by:

etrailer is very good at what they do and Jerry was a pleasure to work with. Hitch arrived in 2 days. Only issue was hitch had a rough journey. Box was punctured in a couple places and hitch was missing some paint. Not an issue because the hitch is all but invisible on my vehicle. I’ll be calling soon to get the wiring kit. Y’all take care.



by:

Very solid feeling product, installed in about an hour. I jacked the car up a bit and put it on jack stands but did the work with standard tools. I had to convince on of the bolts but once it started in the thread it was smooth. Torqued it all up and cutting the little plastic fascia under the car was straight forward. I wrapped the wiring around the main body of the hitch. Very nice look and feel. I’m super happy with it.

Thanks for including photos with your feedback Maurice, this is valuable insight for anyone shopping this in the future with a 2015 RX 350. I'm glad to hear your happy with the results :)



by:

Easy and straight forward install. Looks great and no scratches despite the box being torn. No drilling and matched OEM holes. The time consuming part was dealing with the original plastic fasteners (which broke) and waiting for replacements. I was able to repurpose the extra bracket into a mount for the seven way connector. With the splash shield reinstated and trimmed properly, it looks better than the OEM.



by:

Hitch without a Hitch!! Amazing! Called and ordered hitch from eTrailer Monday at 5pm -- hitch arrived Wednesday at 1pm (less than 2 days). Hitch fully installed 4 hours later. Customer service excellent, hitch fit PERFECT.



by:

I bought this reciever to mount my Tule 4 position bike rack system. I've bought lots of gear from etrailer over the years. As usual, for this project, the products and customer service are top notch. The hitch install went well. The etrailer parts fit perfectly and the provided instructions made the job straight forward. I did find a factory cut location outline molded into the plastic closout panel to trim the clearance cutout for the receiver. The reciever assembly is hidden just like I wanted it to be. See pics.

I’ve used the hitch several times to haul my bikes. Works great. I recently sold the car and bought a newer car that needs a hitch for the bike rack. I will be looking at what etrailer hasfor the Venza.

  • Is T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness 118255 Available Without 4-Way Flat Cable
    Hi Wayne; the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118255 is only available as the full kit.

  • 2014 Lexus RX 350 Trailer Hitch Recommendation for Cargo Carrier
    I recommend installing the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e22TR on your 2014 Lexus RX 350 because it has a matte black finish. This finish blends in with your vehicle and also provides better scratch protection when compared to the standard glossy black finish we see on other hitches on the market. A light kit isn't necessary on a cargo carrier unless you'll be piling cargo up high enough to block your lights. In that case you'll want to install the T-One Kit # 118255 and mount it near...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for Towing with a 2015 Lexus RX 350
    I recommend picking up the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receive # e22TR for your 2015 Lexus RX 350 because it features a hidden crosstube and a matte black finish so you get a great looking hitch receiver that is going to do a great job at resisting rust and corrosion. If you are planning on using this for towing then you also need the T-One Wiring Kit, part # 118252 if you have the tow package or part # 118255 if you don't, as well as a ball mount kit like the TowSmart Towing Starter Kit #...

  • What Trunk Mounted Bike Rack is Recommended for a 2015 Lexus RX 350
    Unfortunately, the Hollywood Racks is not a fit for your RX 350. Instead, as long as you do not have a spoiler, I can recommend the Saris Bones EX 3 Bike Rack # SA803 to be mounted to your trunk. If you do have the rear spoiler you would need to add a hitch to your Lexus in order to carry bikes. I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish - Class III - 2" # e22TR and a bike rake like the Thule Camber # TH9058. I've added links to view how both...

  • etrailer Hitch e22TR - Are Supplied Bolts Long Enough To Reinstall Tow Loop Brackets?
    Hello Gary, thanks for reaching out. I see you already got the hitch on order but I wanted to make sure your question was answered. The bolts that come with the etrailer # e22TR hitch for the 2014 Lexus RX350 are 1.25" long and will absolutely be long enough to reinstall the tow loop brackets. I'm not sure why they didn't reinstall it in the video, but the bolts were designed with that bracket in mind so you will be good to go. What will you be using the hitch for?
