Still need to have it installed.

Very happy with my hitch. Install was easy.



by:

Just had it installed. It was easy. My boyfriend didn’t even need to lift my car to do it. Fits my Lexus RX450h perfectly.



by:

Gave etrailer my exact SN for my 2020 Lexus RX450H. Hitch had to be shimmed down 3/4" to clear rear bumper. Would have returned hitch, but had a time commitment, so purchased steel plates and made my own shims. Doubtful if I will ever make another purchase from etrailer.



by:

I needed a hitch for my Lexus for my bike rack, ski rack and cargo carrier. This hitch is very solid, excellent quality and the instructions were straightforward making the installation quick and easy. I definitely recommend this product.



by:

Hitch looks great installed!
I will
suggest (probably already been) that a floor jack made this job simple!
The plastic cover was the hardest part but if you'll use the rib in the cover as the center for your cut it'll make the cut much easier.



by:

William was super helpful to make sure I picked a hitch that would work for both my car and an existing Yakima bike rack. I highly recommend William and etrailer.



by:

I have the tow package with my 2018 Lexus rx 450h so needed the receiver to pull a small trailer and boat. Easy install. Did it alone. Video is helpful. Clean look with the wiring package and plate and bracket assembly.

after a year... a reliable solution for my Lexus RX 400 Hybrid Sport, for which the Manufacturer did not offer a solution. Imagine that... a Sport model auto that does not offer a hitch!



by:
2016 Lexus RX 450h

Wow! I am extremely happy with this purchase. Lexus wanted almost $900 for a hitch and install. This hitch fits perfectly on my 2016 RX450, and was very easy to install by myself. You can install it without lifting the car if you are ok with getting on the ground and under the car. It took me about 70 minutes to complete with help from the video. The hitch is heavy so you may need an extra hand when lifting it for attaching. My wife chipped in by holding the hitch in place while I put the bolts in. This is definitely the way to go and saves you a ton of money. I will use this for my Thule bike rack and Thule ski tram. I am very satisfied and recommend this purchase for RX450 owners looking for a hitch.



by:

I bought this for my 2017 RX450h. I received the product missing some of the hardware but etrailers promptly rectified that problem, great customer support. This hitch is well made and fit like a glove with no need to move the exhaust. I needed a hitch to primarily transport my family bikes and the Lexus dealer version of the hitch was of lower towing class and ridiculously more expensive. I got this installed within 30 minutes and there were absolutely no issues. Looks great and does the job.



by:
2019 Lexus RX 450h

I was able to install the hitch with no help. I had to remove the muffler hanger and lower the muffler until I got the hitch in place. I then got one bolt on the muffler side of the hitch started but left very loose. I then reinstalled the muffler hangar bracket bolts to frame because the hitch blocked would block access to the muffler bracket bolts if not left very loose. I used two jack stands to suport the left side of the hitch while securing the right side of the hitch to the frame with one bolt and then I secured the left side of the hitch to the vehicle. It took approximately 1/2 hour to install. I choose this hitch because most of the hitch is hidden.



by:
2020 Lexus RX 450h

2020 Lexus 450h Fit well, did not have to jack/lift the car. You do have to angle the hitch to go up and over the exhaust, but you do not have to unmount the exhaust. Note, I'm very glad I went with this version. The clearance under the car is not impacted, it is super low profile discrete. I did do my own custom cutting of the air shield, which took me about 30min to get it nice and tight fitting. So glad I bought this version.



by:

The Curt hitch arrived on time and in great shape with the packaging. The instructioner were very straightforward and easy to follow. The main time consumption was actually removed and cutting the under-car trim pieces.
The hitch itself fit perfectly and can be managed with one person, with slight struggles. One all was set it bolted directly in, fit exactly as expected.

Very satisfied with the quality and performance of the Curt hitch from etrailer.

A year later and still looking great. The coating is holding up well even with Michigan winters. Continue to be impressed.



by:
2016 Lexus RX 450h

This is the one you want! For a 2016 RX450h, this hitch receiver is the one you should pick. Unlike the Draw-Tite, the Curt receiver has a curved main support that goes up and over the exhaust, leaving it in it's factory location, while the Draw-Tite requires you to lower the exhaust about 3 inches. I installed both. I returned the Draw-Tite and am super happy with the Curt.



by:
2017 Lexus RX 450h

Fit perfect without touching my exhaust I’m very happy with it.

  • Will the Curt Trailer Hitch for My 2020 Lexus RX 450h Cover My Hands Free Tailgate?
    Hello David, Great question. With any after market hitch there is always the possibility that it could be in the way of the hands free tailgate. In our experience with installing the hitches, even if it does cover it slightly you can still move your foot to the side of the receiver and it will still work, just have to find the sweet spot. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C13282 will be a great fit for your 2020 Lexus RX 450h. If you needed to pair the...

  • Parts Needed to Install 7-Way and Brake Controller on 2018 Lexus RX 450h
    Hey Jeff, we can help install a 7-way on your 2018 Lexus RX 450h but you will have to start with a 4-way like the part # 56083 as there isn't a 7-way kit custom fit for your vehicle. So once you have the 4-way installed you would need to convert it to a 7-way with the part # 37185. Unless your trailer has brakes then you would also need a brake controller like the p2 part # 90885 and the 7-way adapter part # ETBC7 instead.

  • Does The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Require Removal Of Dampening Rod On 2020 Lexus RX 450h F Sport?
    The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13282 will mount to the same holes as the dampening rod on your 2020 Lexus RX 450h. So the dampening rod will be permanently removed from your Lexus. Since the main purpose of the dampening rod is to remove body flex, the receiver will do the same job once it is installed. For wiring you will need a 4-pole, you will need the Hopkins Plug-In Simple Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package - 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector# HM11141945 if you have the factory...

  • Does Exhaust of 2015 Lexus RX 450h Get Modified to Install Draw Tite Hitch
    Hey Aaron, since the 2015 and 2018 Lexus RX 450h are different enough to require a different hitch fit the install instructions are not the same regarding the exhaust. The Draw Tite hitch part # 75676 that fits the 2015 does not require having the exhaust permanently lowered.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch and Wiring for 2018 Lexus RX 450h
    Starting with the trailer hitch for your 2018 Lexus RX 450h I recommend the Curt Class III Receiver Hitch # C13282 because it allows for an easier installation than the Draw-Tite model that is also available and is made right here in the USA. Unlike with the Draw-Tite unit, the Curt hitch has an angled crosstube that allows you to leave the factory exhaust pipe in its original location (see attached image). The Draw-Tite hitch requires that the pipe be lowered by a couple inches which would...

I did some research and your vehicle has a maximum tongue weight of 400 lbs. This means your Yakima EXO system and the items you are carrying cannot exceed 400 lbs. If you install the Yakima EXO Swing Away 2 Bike Rack w/ Enclosed Cargo Carrier - 2" Hitches, part # Y34ZR, you can only carry an additional 234 lbs, since this system weighs 166 lbs.

  • Hitch and Trailer Wiring Fit for 2017 Lexus RX350
    The hitch fit for your vehicle will depend on whether you have the RX350 or the RX450h, the hybrid model. The Curt # C13272 you'd mentioned is a fit for the 2017 RX350, non F Sport models. With the factory tow package, use # 118252 for a wiring harness. Without the factory tow package, use # C56217. For a ball mount, use # C45010 and # 19260 for a 1-7/8 and # 63845 for a 2 inch ball. .

  • Why Would Trailer Hitch Install Cause Muffler Noise
    Exhaust rattling against a trailer hitch is a common occurrence but it is easily fixed. Exhaust pipes and mufflers hang on rubber isolators. The hangers can usually be manipulated to gain more clearance between the exhaust and the hitch. I have included a link below that covers the different fixes for this problem.

While the Curt C13282 has not yet been confirmed by the manufacturer to fit 2021 models of the RX450H, there has been no considerable change by Lexus in the design of the vehicle's frame or the rear fascia, therefore it is likely that the holes of the hitch will still match up and it should fit.
