This fully welded trailer hitch receiver bolts onto your vehicle's frame with no welding required. Powder coated steel is sturdy and corrosion resistant.Pretty easy install. It is better to have a second person to help lift in place. Great product. Looks great.
2011 Lexus RX350: Hitch arrived faster than expected. Shipping box was damaged but thanks to proper packing there was no damage to the product. Hitch was exactly as described, fit perfectly and looked even nicer than I imagined. It looks nice because you can't really see it all. All you can see is the square tube opening where the ball mount is inserted and the safety chain loops. Even then they're hardly noticeable because they're below the bumper. I also ordered a rubber tube cover which gives it a very clean appearance. Thanks etrailer for a quality product, descriptive installation instructions and great service. The only real difficulty was lifting the hitch into place because I was doing the install by myself lying on the floor of my garage. A bit precarious at times but managed to do the complete install start to finish in less than an hour and a half. If you do have an extra pair of hands to help lift hitch into place, don't hesitate to use them.
Fit my RX350 perfectly. Watch the Etrailer install video for tips on trimming the belly panel, but with some tin snips it’s easy! Have used this hitch for Uhaul rental trailers, worked just fine! Pro tip, buy a hitch ball stabilizer to cut down on the thumping jostling when the trailer is hooked up.
Bought this hitch for my wife's 2014 RX-350. Installation went just as easy as the demo video explained it. As I'm not a tiny guy I put 3 inch wood blocks under the back wheels after setting the parking brake, and did the job myself. As I'm particular to do things right I took my time - totaling about 1.5 hours till all was done and everything put away. I won't actually use it till July to pull a trailer so I can't comment on how that works, but I don't expect any issues as it is bolted in place very solid.
Received the Curt trailer hitch from UPS a day late due to COVID-19, but that's on UPS, not etrailer. The hitch was perfectly packaged and is very well constructed. Novice installation took two hours, but that's because I needed to borrow a breaking bar from a neighbor to get the tow hooks off my Lexus.
I chose this trailer hitch instead of the Draw-Tite because I didn't want to disconnect the exhaust and remount it to the trailer hitch.
Etrailer's installation videos are great! Use that instead of the instructions that come with the tow hitch. If ordering, you may want to include a rubber two hitch cover, item #22282.
the hardest part was fitting the undercarriage shield back in.
My company, Beaufort Trailer in Beaufort SC, repairs boat and utility trailers. People started calling asking if we did hitch installs and we started offering that service. Etrailer makes the process so simple for us. Not only does their site make it easy to find the parts we need, if I have any questions our problems their awesome customer service staff is only a phone call away. My personal favorite, James, is the most friendly, polite, and helpful guy I've ever talked to. Always goes the extra mile for me. In addition, etrailer has an installation video for just about every vehicle out there. Before each install we just watch the video for the vehicle and hitch we are working on and follow right along. Did I mention the lightning fast and free shipping! Couldn't be happier with etrailer!
Does the job! Installation was straightforward with the clear instructions provided. I'd buy it again if i needed another hitch.
This is the second hitch we bought from etrailer and I recommend them for all your needs.
Well built product; great price and quick delivery. My only comments are: 1) when you provide the directions it would be helpful if you also gave reference points like driver side and passenger side; 2) the hitch extends flush w the fascia which makes it tough to put my Bike rack on the car - all the other hitches that I see (OEM) or after market extend out at least 2 inches - would it be that much of a big deal to extend by an inch or two?
Overall a good product- thank you
Best hitch I ever purchased. No modifications needed, every bolt went In by hand without struggling.
The design fits the vehicle to where it is hardly noticed when not in use and does not take away any ground clearance.
9,000 miles on it so far this past year.
Great experience all the way around. It was easy ti se the web site. You had specific info about my car, age and model so that made it easy to order.
It took about 2 hrs to install and looks great!
Top end quality and reliability. While it's possible to install by yourself, I opted to have a local garage take care of it - took them about an hour. I use it all the time to hang an equally heavy duty bike rack. I haven't thought about it since it was installed because it just works. I think that's as high a recommendation as I can give it.
Received the hitch earlier than expected. It took about an hour and a half to install it. Every hole lined up and was easier than expected to install. This is what I have come to expect from etrailer.
very nice hitch i have not had a chance to get it put on my car yet, but as per your installation video should hook up easily
The delivery is quick, but it didn't pack well. The cover box was broken and my trailer hitch was exposed and got a little bit damage. It's a heavy part and suggest you can have some corrugated paper to protect the edge. Otherwise, this heavy part would punch through the box easily during the delivery.
Easy to install. Great video to help. I did it in 1.5 hours in my apartment parking lot!
Perfect fitment as advertised. The installation video specific to my SUV was a great help for doing it myself.
I wish they had more stars for rating this product. It was so easy to install and the instructions were great. Even the wiring harness was easy to install. Finished the job and tested the plug in wiring. all went well no problems took me 3 hours to do the job. I'm 65 and a retired Army Veteran. If I can do it anybody can. I'm having a problem with my phone sending pictures. sorry.
Very easy to install, even for a woman, on my 2010 Lexus RX350 with the help of my 12 year old.
We have this hitch installed on our 2011 Lexus RX 350. A local muffler installer who also does trailer hitches did the work in about an hour for about $100. It fits perfectly. We use it exclusively for mounting our Thule receiver bicycle carrier. We are totally satisfied with the hitch and the online selection process on etrailer.com. Although we did not need their phone or online support for this item, we have used their service for other products and feel we can rely on their expertise.
In the photo you can see I have not yet reinstalled the plastic molding that was removed for the installation.
Straight forward and easy install. I had to trim the rear facia a little further that the instructions indicated. But this was an easy job.
Super easy to install especially if you have the tow prep package on your car. The bracket makes the look more professional.
I recently saw a few ugly trailer hitches installed on Lexus RX 350's. that were big, rusty contraptions hanging below the bumpers. I wanted a hitch that would be hidden and found one on etrailer.com that actually had a great youtube video of installation. The hitch arrived the day after ordering it. I installed it myself without a hoist and it looks factory perfect. I asked trailer.com what wiring harness I would need and was told to contact the dealer who sold the car to the previous owner. With the VIN number, they quickly found out my car had the factory tow package and I knew what harness to purchase. The custom hitch was great and the customer service was the best. I highly recommend etrailer.com
I am very satisfied with trailer hitch. Purchased to be able to pull a utility trailer with my RX 350 eliminating my need of having to keep, maintain and insure a truck(2nd vehicle) for whenever I needed to haul something too big or inappropriate for the cargo area of my Lexus like compost and other lawn and garden supplies including a riding lawn mower. And after a year, having used it numerous times, I must say that I feel so smart lol!
I really like that etrailer provides installation videos of their custom fit towing package on your specific vehicle. It makes installing much easier. Quality of materials seems excellent. Paint hasn't chipped yet so no rust and no issues with electrical connection which tucks easily when not in use. The overall design is unobtrusive also.
I am glad etrailer sent me a follow up email asking for a review after having it a year as I appreciate getting to express how pleased I am with their product. Also it shows they are genuinely interested in customer satisfaction. So thanks for asking, thanks for a multilevel approach to meet customer's needs and thanks for helping me save a ton of money on insurance. Cudos!!!
