Extremely happy with the hitch, its ease of installation and the great support and help that I got from ETrailer



by:

It was extremely easy to find and order the Curt hitch for my 2025 Lexus RX350 and I was surprised it shipped on the same day and the tracking was dead accurate. The installation couldn’t have been easier. I installed it by myself is less than 30 minutes. You guys are the best!



by:

Dealer installation was quick and hitch was not excessively visible. Just what I was hoping.

2024 Lexus RX 350

I have a 2024 RX 350 Premium, the hitch fits perfectly, I didn't have to remove or lower the exhaust, it took me about 40 minutes, it could take less time with the help of somebody but it's definitely something you can do on your own if you have the tools or you can just take it to local shop and pay a few bucks. I raised the car a few inches to give me enough room to work the wrench but not really necessary if u have a smaller torque.

The trunk kick open/close sensor still works, however you have bring your foot to slightly touch the hitch for the sensor to react to your foot.

Nice quick project.

2025 Lexus RX 350h

Hitch worked perfectly on 2025 RX350h. Install was as described except for a small plastic tab sticking out on the bottom of the bumper. Simply removed it with a hacksaw blade so the hitch could match up with the bolt holes. Hitch very well made but packaging not so good. Hitch had come through in three points. The mounting brackets as well as the center tube. Coating was scratched and chipped in a few locations. Integrity of the products was not compromised but definitely could provide better packaging for shipping



by:
2024 Lexus RX 350h

The hitch mount fit just fine. A little tricky to get in place by myself, but I persevered. I would recommend a helper. The box arrived damaged, the tangs were protruding from the box, but it's a chunk of metal, so it was fine. It had broken free from the internal tie downs inside the box. I've attached a photo.



by:
2023 Lexus RX 500h

The fitment on the hitch was perfect. Still trying to figure out how to find and relocate my kick sensor for the hatch opening, but that’s a Alexis problem would highly recommend this product and service shipment was fast and easy.



by:

The trailer hitch arrived on schedule and only took about 20 minutes to install. My son was able to help, which made it much easier. The hitch looks solid. I'm looking forward to using it.

2010 Ford F-150

The fit was incredible! I did not have to drop my exhaust and I installed it by myself within a half hour.. The look is great and as described, now I have a receiver for my bike rack and storage basket, I can also tow if it becomes necessary..

I'm extremely pleased with this trailer hitch and would recommend it to anyone, I'll help you install it...:)



by:

Let's talk about excellent customer service. I needed this hitch and it seemed no one else had it. I was kept informed and able to plan my vacation. Everything went as I was told. The price was the best too. These folks do what they say!

2024 Lexus RX 350

Bought this for my 2024 Lexus RX350h. Received hitch two days after ordering online. Product was in excellent condition when received. I installed it myself using bungee cords on either end to hold receiver up and level while I maneuvered into position to attach bolts. Tight fit, but did not need to lower muffler.
Receiver is recessed 3" from outside of my bumper. Works well with my Kuat bike rack.

Very prompt service. though packaging could be better, as when the product was delivered…box was already half opened.

YAS! Winning! So happy to hear it's a good fit for the '24 Lexus RX 350h Premium :)



by:

Hitch arrived on time, fit the vehicle and installed in 5 min longer than suggested time. Only issue is the box was damaged and area chipped/scuffed right at the hitch opening. Think better protection could be implemented.



by:

Works perfectly. Fast shipping. Great pricing.



by:

Fits perfect. Was very easy to install. Took about 20 minutes. Would have been faster but I was doing it by myself and didn’t have anything tall enough to prop up the other side of the trailer hitch. Some advice: Put some Teflon tape or grease on the bolts in case you need to take it off some day. I didn’t do that with my last trailer hitch and taking it off didn’t go well.



by:
2024 Lexus RX 350

Installed in 30 minutes. Very high quality.
For shipping, the corners of frame need to be wrapped or box needs reinforcement so frame doesn't cut through cardboard box and get scratched.



by:
2023 Ford Transit Connect

Fit well. Installed reasonably easily. Provided bolts matched frame threads. Delivery time was longer than early estimate probably because the shipping box required repair in transit.



by:
2024 Lexus RX 350h

Exact fit and well constructed

Fits perfectly. Very easy to install.



by:
2024 Lexus RX 500h

Hitch fit perfectly without lowering the muffler and exhaust pipes. Total time to install start to finish torquing bolts was less than 30 minute. Suggest different packing system. Boxing was damaged and hitch scratched. Customer Service agreed to a small credit to pay for touchup paint. Great product, great fit and great service. Boxing not so much.

The box was damaged in 2 locations.part of hitch was exposed.it will be 10 days before i have it mounted.my new car won't be here until next week.

  • Trailer Hitch for 2023 Lexus RX 350h That Allows Hands Free Tailgate to Function
    We have a hitch for your 2023 Lexus RX 350h with the Curt part # C29VV but the Draw Tite you mentioned does not work. The Curt would still allow the rear kick sensor to open the rear tailgate but you would have to kick to either side of the hitch.

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2023 Lexus RX 350
    The Draw-Tite item # DT73QR installs below the bumper. This hitch is perpetually backordered due to Draw-Tite being bought out so I have a way better option for a hitch for your 2023 Lexus RX 350. I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch item # C29VV. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Lexus with included hardware. I really like this hitch because the crosstube mounts behind your rear bumper leaving only the 2" receiver visible. This not only looks better it also helps with ground clearance....

  • What is the Installation Difficulty for Your etrailer Hitch on 2025 Lexus RX 350?
    Hello Tom, Congrats on the new Lexus RX 350. Not a whole lot of cars grab my attention on the road, but the new grille on the RX 350 gets me every time! Our etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish - Class III - 2" # e29ZV is listed as a 4 out of 10 for difficulty. No drilling is required, you will however need to lower the exhaust to install. I do not have an install video on our etrailer hitch, but it is identical to the Curt # C29VV (the only difference is...

  • Will The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Prevent Use of the Hands Free Lift Gate on 2024 Lexus RX 500h?
    I can tell you John, I had the same concern when I installed a receiver on my Acura RDX. While my receiver did not entirely prevent the use of the kick sensor for the hands free liftgate it did limit the area I was able to kick due to the receiver. You will have the same issue on your 2024 Lexus RX 500h. Once you install the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C29VV you simply need to test different areas around the receiver to figure out which area works best for the kick sensor. I do recommend...

  • Will Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver C29VV Fit a 2024 Lexus RX 500h with Kick Sensors
    The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C29VV will definitely fit your 2024 Lexus RX 500h and you'll still have the kick sensor functionality. Just know that you'll have to kick to either side of the receiver instead of "swiping" your foot under the bumper for the sensors to pick up your foot movement.

  • What is Difference Between Curt and etrailer Hitch for 2024 Lexus RX350
    Hey Scott, the only difference between the etrailer # e29ZV and the Curt # C29VV is the powder coat finish like you noticed. The Curt has a gloss finish and the etrailer a matte finish. Aside from that there's no difference in design or materials used. The matte is a little more hidden than the gloss so that would be what I would recommend. Plus it doesn't hurt the price is better. For trailer wiring we only have universal kits like the Curt # C59236 which will work great but do require...

  • Availability of Hidden Hitch that Fits 2024 Lexus RX 350h
    Hey Chuck, for your 2024 Lexus RX 350h we only have the partially hidden hitches available like the Curt # C29VV which only has the lower hitch opening visible. I hope we get more and more totally hidden hitches as the people like them but they just aren't as available as the more traditional style. What will you be using the hitch for?

  • Will the Curt Trailer Hitch Interfere With the Kick Sensors on a 2024 Lexus RX 350h
    The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C29VV will not interfere with the kick sensor function on your 2024 Lexus RX 350h. To get it to work however, you'll have to kick to either side of the receiver instead of swiping your foot under the bumper for the sensors to pick up your foot movement.

  • Does the Curt or Draw-Tite Hitch Block the Lift Gate Sensor on a 2025 Lexus RX 350h?
    Not that I have heard of but that's typically not an achievable goal of the manufacturer's. The Curt Hitch item # C29VV is a better option for the 2025 Lexus RX 350h. It doesn't have that piece of angle iron mounted between the crossbar and the receiver so it blocks less of the sensor's view. What usually happens with the lift gate sensors is that the 2" receiver blocks it right at the center of your bumper and you have to kick to the left or right. I have linked a video below demonstrating...

  • Hitch Pin Hole Location for 2024 Lexus RX 500h Curt Hitch Receiver
    Hey Pep! According to the photos in the installation instructions for the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C29VV it looks like the receiver sticks out just a little from the bumper. The center off the hitch pin hole is 2-1/2" back from the front face of the receiver (see attached).

    Yes, but that's just to get it installed the first time. I have linked the instructions below for the Curt Hitch item # C29VV. Step 2 covers this process and it's easier then it sounds. You just back out the muffler supports from the rubber hangers. It is recommended to prop the exhaust up while you're positioning the hitch.

They are all class III 2" hitches that have the same 3,500 lbs towing capacity and 500 lbs maximum tongue weight. The installation process is identical.

    We haven't had the opportunity to install the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C29VV on a 2023 Lexus RX 350 as of yet (December 2023), but I'm attaching a clip from the instructions for you to reference. This part of the instructions shows there you'll need to lower the exhaust if the exhaust tips sit in the general area of the bolt holes you'll need access to for the installation. You can compare this to what you have to see if the exhaust will need to be lowered or not.
