Question:

Of the 3 brands of trailer hitches for this vehicle do any interfere with getting the spare tire out?

Expert Reply:

All three of the hitches recommended for your 2005 Lexus RX330, the Curt Hitch part # 13530 and the Draw Tite Hitch part # 75153 will not interfere with the spare tire of your vehicle. It will install and remove on your vehicle just like normal.

If you plan on doing some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.

If the ball mount kit does not have the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, use the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.

For trailer wiring you would want the Curt Harness part # C55563.
