Still need to have it installed.
Very happy with my hitch. Install was easy.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
easy install and fast shipping
exceptional value and quality, and shipped quickly.

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