Features to know about

Haul Gear and Bikes Without Worry: Class III Strength with 2" Receiver

This hitch gives you a solid 2" x 2" receiver opening that’s ready for towing trailers, carrying bike racks, or adding a cargo carrier. With a 4,000-lb maximum gross trailer weight and 600-lb tongue weight rating (and up to 5,000 lbs GTW with weight distribution), it’s built to handle light to moderate hauling. The square-tube, fully welded steel construction delivers the kind of strength you can rely on every time you hook up a trailer or load your gear.

Install It Yourself in the Driveway: Bolt-On Design with No Drilling or Welding

You don’t need a lift or a welder to get this on your vehicle. The hitch bolts directly to the frame using the included hardware and instructions, lining up with existing holes so there’s no cutting or drilling involved. It’s an easy afternoon project that makes DIY installation doable with basic hand tools.

Keep It Looking Sharp: Matte Black Powder Coat Finish Hides Scuffs and Dirt

The matte black finish isn’t just for looks — it’s tough against rust and corrosion and hides dirt and scratches better than glossy paint. The protective base coat and durable powder coating give it a rugged, carbide-like appearance that blends in cleanly under the bumper while standing up to the elements.

Close-up comparison of matte carbide powder coat finish versus glossy black finish on etrailer trailer hitch showing texture and color difference.

Side-by-side view of matte carbide and glossy black hitch finishes showing reflection, color tone, and surface texture differences for etrailer trailer hitch.

Ready for Everyday Use: Built to Last with Lifetime Technical Support

This custom-fit hitch is made for consistent use with ball mounts, bike carriers, and cargo racks. It comes complete with all mounting hardware and instructions. The durable steel build and corrosion-resistant finish mean it’s ready to stay on your vehicle for the long haul.

Everything went as planned.
The hitch
was delivered in a few days and
I had it installed in about 20 minutes.
Nice looking hitch.



by:

Extremely easy install very pleased



by:

Perfect fit. Looks great. I installed it by myself using a floor jack to lift it into place. Took me all of 15 minutes.

It looks great and was easy to install.

Super fast delivery. Perfect fit

That is awesome! Glad the shop was able to help you out and now you have a solid hitch :) What will you use the hitch to haul?



by:

Had a pretty big gouge in it. Along the bottom. It was under the wrapping that I left on…. So I would not
Scratch it. I will have to touch up so I don’t get rust here in WI.



by:

Easy install took about 20 min didnt even have to lift vehicle



by:

This hitch tucks up so nicely under the rear bumper of my '17 RX350. Installation was not a problem at all, even for this 60 yo working on the floor in the garage. Less than 45 minutes and it properly torqued and ready for the Kuat bike rack.



by:

This was a perfect fit and a relatively easy install for my 2019 Lexus RX-350. The Sales and Support team at etrailer did an excellent job communicating and following up throughout the process. The product arrived when promised, and the installation process was so simple that I didn’t need to contact support.

If you're installing it by yourself, you'll need to angle it over the exhaust system and use a jack or stacked bricks/wood to hold it in place so that there’s no weight resting on the exhaust. Once you have a screw installed on each side, simply install the remaining screws and torque them to the manufacturer's specifications. There are some helpful YouTube videos that detail the installation. I plan to use this with a bike rack.



by:

My hitch fit perfectly on our 2018 Lexus RX 350 and was easy to install with the help of another person to hold it in place to get the bolts started.



by:

very nice. i wanted a hitch that seamlessly flows with the car. something hardly noticeable. this is the one. very happy with the result. ideally easier install with 3 people. tried it on my own but quite heavy to handle.

excellent! still kickin! love that its not sticking out.



by:

I don't know if this is for everyone.

From
opening the garage, gathering all the tools, taking the hitch out of the box, installing it and putting all the tools away was in the neighborhood of 15 minutes BY MYSELF...I'm 62.

I'm sure there are people out there that want to struggle, rebend the brackets, re-drill holes, etc. If that's the case, don't buy this hitch. It goes on way too easily.

And if you go looking for a better deal, I don't think you'll find one. I only look for several minutes and this one popped up and it was delivered to my house in a matter of days with the free shipping.



by:

Exactly as stated and easy installation (guilty of watching install videos prior). Thank you for making this a pleasant purchase.



by:

The hardest thing about the installation was the weight. Two helper jack stands and 30 minutes I was done.



by:

Perfect fit. I was able to install by myself in 20 mins. It looks great and you hardly notice it when not in use. I would advise buying a longer receiver for the ball so it keeps it away from the plastic bumper on the car.



by:

The hitch works great. Only thing is 5 out of the 6 bolts were used to secure the hitch to our 17 Lexus RX350 AWD. For the life of me, I couldn't get the last bolt to screw in. I tried angling the hitch in multiple different ways, swapped the bolts around. The hole in the hitch is not aligned. But 5 out of 6 ain't bad.



by:

Was perfect - installation was smooth with clear instructions that were easy to follow (had help from a friend) and it's held up well to-date.



by:

Arrived on time, packaged very well, quality hitch. I'm 77 and working on my back on a 59-year-old creeper on my garage floor, but with the help of a floor jack (and the etrailer installation video), I got the hitch installed on my 2018 Lexus RX350 by myself in about a half hour, including double checking the torque.



by:

Purchased for 2017 Lexus RX350. Packaged in heavy box - no loose hardware or damage even with UPS leaving it out in the rain.
Install was 30 min start to finish - used a floor jack to raise and hold the receiver until all bolts were started. All fit with no issues.



by:

All good. Great delivery. Product is what it was said to be. Works great for my bike rack.



by:

About the 4th one ive installed. It seems the newer the vehicle the easier. Installed vehicles from 2000 to 2019.
ETrailer has quality produces and superb service.

That is great to hear! After the 4th you must be a pro. I have noticed on the newer vehicles it is becoming a lot more efficient in how it installs. What are you planning on using this hitch for?



by:

Easy to install, me and my husband installed it in 30 min without big tools, the hitch looks very nice on my Lexus. Great customer service ! Direction are very helpful and clear. Will order another hitch for my husbands car so we can use both cars to transport our road bikes on trips with us.

The install was simple and looks good. The trailer hitch easily holds the bike rack and bike

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendation for 2018 Lexus RX 350
    The trailer hitch I recommend for your 2018 Lexus RX 350 is the etrailer Class III Trailer Hitch # e94AR because it has great towing capacities, installs easily, and because it has a concealed cross tube which means it won't be quite as visible as most hitches. I attached the installation instructions for you to check out. For trailer wiring I recommend the T-One kit part # 118252 which is a confirmed fit for your RX 350 as long as you have the factory tow package. It installs without...

  • Should I Go With The Draw-Tite Or etrailer Hitch For My 2019 Lexus RX350?
    Hi Alan! I see you went with the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish - Class III - 2" # e94AR for your 2019 Lexus RX350. That is actually the one I was going to recommend over the Draw-Tite # 75540. The etrailer hitch is rated ever so slightly less, but the matte finish blends in better than the gloss finish Draw-Tite uses. Plus the etrailer hitches are American made, so I definitely prefer them. I think you will be very happy with it! ^___^ What are you...

    I'm happy to help you get your RX 350 ready for pulling your new camping trailer and I wish you many good times in the future. Starting with a hitch, I recommend the USA-made etrailer Class III hitch # e94AR for its simple no-drill installation (it includes all the hardware) and for its substantial 4000-lb towing capacity. It installs as shown in the written instructions, which is linked for reference. I also suggest ball mount kit # 989900 which provides multiple ball mounts and sizes...

  • What Trailer Hitch Fits The 2018 Lexus RX 350 F Sport?
    Hello Audri, thanks for reaching out. We do offer a trailer hitch for the 2018 Lexus RX 350 F Sport, but the # e94AR hitch would not be correct. The correct hitch is the Draw-Tite # 75540. We also have a Stealth Hitch option part # 391LXRX16 if you prefer the removable receiver. Both will fit the F Sport model. Please note that if you go with the Stealth Hitch, you will need the towing kit version # 391LXRX16T if you intend to tow a trailer. Reply below with any questions or Comments...

  • Recommended Ball Mount and Towing Set Up for a 2016 Lexus RX 350
    Hey Andres! I would like to start out by confirming that both the etrailer Hitch item # e94AR and the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector item # 118255 are both confirmed to fit your 2016 Lexus RX 350. I have linked a couple of installation videos below so you can see how to get those parts set up. For a ball mount, I recommend the Curt Towing Starter Kit for 2" Hitches item # C45534.

    Yes, you can! The etrailer Hitch item # e94AR is confirmed to fit your 2017 Lexus RX 350 and has a 4,000 lbs towing capacity. You will want to check your Lexus's actual capacity though and go off of it. This varies based on trim packages and often times the hitches are built stronger than the vehicle they attach to. To tow a boat with your Lexus you will also need a wiring harness item # 56083 if you have the tow package or item # 119250KIT if you do not. There is a connector located...

  • Is Any Trimming Required to Install etrailer Trailer Hitch on a 2016 Lexus RX350
    You should not have to trim anything on your 2016 Lexus RX350 to install etrailer trailer hitch # e94AR. Ther is also no drilling required for installation. If Your Lexus is equipped with the lateral performance damper, the damper will need to be removed to install this hitch. This hitch is an excellent choice for use with a bike rack. There is another hitch that will fit, # C13272. But if it were me I would go with the less expensive etrailer hitch. If you ever plan on doing some towing...

  • How to Carry Electric Bikes on 2017 Lexus RX 350
    I have a solution for you but there is not a trunk mount bike rack that can handle the weight of electric bikes. It will be more of an investment but using a hitch mounted bike rack is a much safer way to transport your electric bikes. Installing a custom fit trailer hitch for your 2017 Lexus RX 350 like the etrailer Trailer Hitch # e94AR may seem like a tall task to get installed but it is one of the easier hitches to install. It can be done in your driveway with basic hand tools. I...

  • Does 2019 Lexus RX 350 Have Capacity to Tow 3,500 lb Trailer
    I did some checking and your 2018 Lexus RX350 has a 3,500 lb towing capacity so yes it could tow the trailer you mentioned as long as it for sure would weigh less than 3,500 lbs. For a hitch the etrailer # e94AR would be a really great option. We don't have trailer wiring for the versions of your vehicle that don't have the tow package though.

    The etrailer hitch part # e9AR might interfere with the hands free liftgate sensor of your 2019 Lexus RX 350 but you'd just need to kick to either side of the hitch opening for the sensor to still function and open the rear door.

  • Can I Use a Hitch Extender With Thule Helium 2 on 2018 Lexus RX 350?
    Using a hitch extender like # HE6000 will cut your hitch's weight capacity in half which is why we usually don't recommend it. One of our hitches that fits your vehicle is the etrailer Hitch # e94AR and it has a 600 lbs tongue weight. If you use it with a hitch extender, your remaining tongue weight capacity is about 300 lbs. The Thule Helium 2 Bike Platform Rack # TH44VR weighs 43 lbs and has a capacity of 37.5 lbs per bike. 43 lbs plus 70 lbs equals 113lbs which is within your new weight...

It also has a hidden cross tube so all you will see is the 2" receiver opening and the chain hook loops. The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118255 will allow you to plug into the factory harness so you have a functioning 4-way to connect on small trailers. It can also be used for Auxiliary Lights # C53201 if you have...

  • Bike Rack Recommendation for 2016 Lexus RX 350
    For a bike rack for your 2016 Lexus RX 350 you will have to go with a hitch route as there are no trunk racks that fit your vehicle with a spoiler. For a hitch you would first need the part # e94AR which is a confirmed fit. The most popular bike rack we carry that has been confirmed to fit this vehicle is the Thule Camber 2 part # TH9058. We asked our demo and install guys to name their favorite, most easy-to-use bike racks and this one showed up in nearly everyone's top three. Check...

I've attached the instructions that state what tools you need. This is about a 30 to 60 minute installation depending on your mechanical skillset. You just need some sockets, a screwdriver and a torque wrench.

  • Does Trailer Hitch for 2017 Lexus RX 350 Require Computer Reprogramming
    The installation of the etrailer hitch part # e94AR on your 2017 RX 350 would not require the reprogramming of the vehicle's computer. If you needed trailer wiring and went with a dealer option, they would most likely need to reprogram the PCM, but if you installed our universal, no-splice kit part # 119250KIT this wouldn't be a problem. If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or...

Based on my research, it appears the vehicle's towing capacity is 3,500 pounds. You can verify this by checking your copy of the owner's manual.

    The trailer hitch for a 2015 Lexus RX 350 is not the same as a trailer hitch for a 2019 Lexus RX 350 because there was a generation change in 2016. Therefore, you will need a new trailer hitch for which we have the Curt Class III Receiver Hitch part # C13272 and the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e94AR. Either one would be a great choice for your RX350 as long as you do not have the F-Sport model. The weight capacity of either hitch is not a good comparison to use as you will...

You would need to install a trailer hitch on your 2017 Lexus RX 350 like the etrailer part # e94AR and then use a hitch bike rack.
