  • Installation of Trailer Hitch Receiver 75676 on 2014 Lexus 450h
    The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 75676 is a confirmed fit for your 2014 Lexus RX 450h. We do not have any videos of the RX450h with that particular hitch receiver, but I have added the video of the installation of the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C13143 which is also a fit to assist.

  • Hitch and Wiring Installation on 2015 Lexus RX 350 F Sport Without Tow Package
    Thank you for purchasing Curt hitch # C13143 and 4-pole wiring harness kit # 118255 for your 2015 Lexus RX 350 F Sport without factory tow package. We shoot installation videos as local customers bring in their vehicles. We may not always have access to a specific vehicle (or a specific version of one, such as the F Sport) to make a video for all compatible cars but we do have a video showing hitch installation on a 2015 Lexus RX 350 and this is linked for you along with the written...

  • Recommended Bike Carrier for 2015 Lexus RX 350
    The best way to transport bikes on your new 2015 Lexus RX 350 is to install a trailer hitch and use a hitch-mount rack. Hitch racks place the entire weight burden of the rack and bikes on the car's frame - it's strongest part - rather than on its thin sheet metal. The hatch hinge on your car is made to handle the weight of the hatch itself, but it is not really intended to also support a 70 to 100-lb load from bikes and their carrier. You can use 2-inch Class III hitch # C13143 from Curt,...

  • Torque Rating for M12 Hardware on Curt C13143 Hitch Installation on 2015 Lexus RX350
    Because the torque ratings can change according to the nature of the hardware that Curt sources, we don't publish the torque ratings in case they should change. I've linked to the current installation instructions for the Curt # C13143, the correct torque ratings are listed on page 5, step # 13. If you'll be towing with the hitch, you'll also need a trailer wiring harness like # 118252 for vehicles with the tow package or # 119250KIT for vehicles without the tow package. You'll also need...

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver Confirmed To Fit 2022 Lexus RX 350
    You are going to need the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75540 for your 2022 Lexus RX 350 as the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13143 will only fit the 2010-2015 RX 350. The Draw-Tite receiver may push up slightly on the rear fascia of your Lexus as the rear fascia was made slightly lower with the 2000 and newer models.

  • Trailer Hitch for 2014 Lexus RX 350 That Doesn't Require Fascia Trimming
    We do have exactly what you need, however the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C114121 that you referenced will not fit your 2014 Lexus RX 350. As you mentioned this particular hitch is designed for certain model years of the VW Golf so it won't line up with the frame on your Lexus. There are two trailer hitches available for your 2014 Lexus RX 350 (as long as you don't have the F Sport model); the Draw-Tite Class III # 75676 and the Curt Class III # C13143. The Curt hitch requires that...

  • Front Mount Trailer Hitch For 2018 Thor Class A On Ford F-450 Chassis
    Hello Richard, thanks for reaching out. We do offer one front hitch for the 2018 Ford F-450 Cab and Chassis models. For that I recommend the Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 65049. This will fit the F-450 super duty model and this includes the cab and chassis/RV models. It will be a no-drill install, but some trimming of the bumper fascia may be required. Leave a reply below with any questions or comments and I will get back to you.

  • Hitch Bike Rack Recommendation For Two Heavy E-bikes On A 2015 Lexus RX 350
    Your RadRover 5 weighs 69 lbs and your Eunorau 48V250W+350W FAT-AWD All Wheel Drive bike weighs 77 lbs. Both of these bikes exceed the weight limit of the Thule EasyFold XT. In fact, even if you remove the battery of the Eunorau, it will still exceed the weight limit of the EasyFold XT. So it is important that your hitch receiver has a large maximum tongue weight to support the bikes. Now I do have a hitch receiver recommendation for your 2015 Lexus RX 350. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver...

  • Best Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2013 Lexus RX 350
    All of the hitches available for your 2013 Lexus RX 350 are pretty similar. The biggest difference is that the Curt Hitch part # C13143 can fit the F Sport and non-F Sport models. Because of that I would recommend the Curt hitch. The trailer wiring available for your vehicle, part # 56083, is only available for the models of the vehicle that have the factory tow package. Without the factory tow package use # 118255. I attached videos for you to check out as well.

  • Can a Hitch with a 500 lb Tongue Weight Capacity Carry 500 lbs of Carrier and Motorcycle
    They rate the tongue weight on hitches based on how the vehicle would most likely be used. So the hitch you have that has a 500 lb tongue weight rating is designed to handle exactly 500 lbs when used in normal towing situations. So long story short, if your hitch has a 500 lb capacity (which would mean it isn't a Class II), you could carry exactly 500 lbs worth of carrier and motorcycle as long as you are obeying the speed limit on normal non-offroad type roads.

  • How to Determine if 2012 Lexus RX 350 has Factory Tow Package for Wiring Harness
    Though the best way to verify 100 percent if your 2012 Lexus RX 350 is to place a quick call to your Lexus dealer with your VIN, you can also look under the bumper to the left (driver's side) and see if you have a panel that can be removed where the tow package plug will be. It is possible the additional oil cooler is another way to tell though I would not be able to verify this. If you take a look under the bumper of your '12 RX 350 and remove small square panel and see the port that...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2011 Lexus RX 350 to Carry Thule Apex Swing
    Both of the hitches you referenced would fit your 2011 Lexus RX 350 and would work great with the Thule Apex Swing Bike rack part # TH9027XT. Since it has a shorter install time listed I would recommend the Draw Tite part # 75676 and also because currently it has the better price than the # C13143 (subject to change).

    The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13143 fits both the 2015 Lexus RX-350 and Lexus RX-350 F-sport so you are good to go. This is a Class III 2" trailer hitch receiver that has a nice concealed cross tube design so the only portion of the hitch that is visible is the receiver tube for a clean OEM style look. I have attached an installation video for your reference. If you need trailer wiring and the Lexus does not have a factory tow package, I recommend Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring...

  • How to Carry Additional Cargo with a 2012 Lexus RX 350 with Sun Roof
    I spoke to my contact at Thule, and she informed me that on the models of the 2012 Lexus RX 350s that have the sunroof there isn't enough structural integrity left in the roof since so much of it is glass for them to recommend installing a roof rack and cargo box. She said they removed a great deal of bracing on the roof of the sunroof models so roof racks and cargo boxes are not recommended. I do have an option for you to carry additional cargo with your vehicle though. First you will...

    The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13143 is an excellent option for your 2015 Lexus RX 350 and will work well for you. It has a Class III rating with a 2" receiver tube opening. It also comes with a limited lifetime warranty. I have attached an install video of this hitch as well. I recommend using a hitch cover like part # C22272 to protect the inside of the receiver tube from rusting while not in use.

  • Installing a Trailer Hitch on a 2015 Lexus RX 350 F Sport
    It is actually very easy to remove that bar and install the hitch then reattach the bar to the hitch. I have included a picture from the instructions for trailer hitch # C13143 (as well as a link to the instructions). It is as simple as unbolting it and then reattaching it to the hitch using the same hardware. This step is only done on F Sport models which is why it is not in the video.

  • How to Determine if a 2011 Lexus RX350 has a Factory Tow Package
    The definitive way to determine if a vehicle has a factory tow package is to have a dealership run the VIN number through their system. They can then tell you how the vehicle is equipped. If you are looking to do some towing I recommend Curt trailer hitch # C13143 that you have referenced. You can then use the etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts, 2 balls, a hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag. If you find that you do not have the factory tow package and need...

  • Can 2015 Lexus RX350 Handle Tongue Weight From 250 lb Dirt Bike
    According to the owner's manual, the 2015 Lexus RX350 has a 3500 lb towing capacity if it's equipped with the towing package. If you're unsure how your vehicle is equipped, just call your Lexus dealer and provide the VIN, they will be able to tell you if the vehicle is equipped with the tow package. The manual goes on to say that the tongue weight should be 9-11% of the trailer weight or weight of the load carried by the hitch. This translates to between 315 and 385 lbs for the tow package...

  • Trailer Hitch Fits for 2012 Lexus RX 350 for Use of Cargo Carrier
    The only size/class of trailer hitch offered for your 2012 Lexus RX 350 is the 2-inch Class III type like those shown on the linked page, such as Curt # C13143. I checked directly with both Draw-Tite and Curt and neither offers a 1-1/4-inch Class II hitch for your RX 350. You might refer to the linked article for help confirming your hitch size. There should also be a sticker on your hitch that indicates its class rating. Unless you had a custom-made hitch installed on your Lexus yours...

    The F-Sport version of the 2015 Lexus RX 350 is a trim package with a stiffer chassis and larger wheels.

The hitch has a maximum weight capacity of 600 lbs tongue weight (TW) and 4,000 lbs gross trailer weight (GTW). However, you will need to confirm the vehicle's maximum TW and GTW and abide by the lower of the...

    We have everything you need to tow a trailer with your 2013 Lexus RX 350. Starting with the trailer hitch, I recommend the Curt Class III Receiver Hitch # C13143. This is an excellent Class III hitch that will provide a 2 inch receiver opening and has a towing weight capacity of 4,000 pounds. You will also want to check the towing capacity of your vehicle, as this will likely be your limiting factor. This information should be listed in your copy of the owner's manual.

  • Troubleshooting Weld Nuts On 2012 Lexus RX 350 Stripping Bolts Of Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver C13143
    I would be happy to help. Based on the issue you are describing it sounds like there is quite a bit of gunk in the weld nuts on your 2012 Lexus RX 350. I do not recommend trying to force the bolts in, and instead recommend using a M12x1.25 tap in the weld nuts to clean them up. You can pick one up for a local auto parts store, but you will want to be careful to not cross thread the weld nut. I included a video of the # C13143 being installed for you to take a look at.

Once on that page, you simply enter "C13143" into the line that asks for the hitch item number and select "Curt" from the manufacturer dropdown menu.

  • Trailer Wiring and Hitch Recommendation for 2015 Lexus RX 350
    Since you don't have the tow package in your 2015 Lexus RX 350 the trailer wiring harness you'd need is the Tekonsha kit part # 118255 which comes with our most reliable converter option. Then for a hitch I would recommend the Curt Class III # C13143 which is mostly hidden, priced great, and also installs easily. I attached install videos for both of these for you to check out as well.
