Question:

I just purchased a Lexus 2017 RX 350, withOUT tow prep package. Want to add trailer hitch now. I see you recommend the Curt part # C13272 for use on Lexus RX 350. Does this recommendation apply to the 2017 RX 350? I found a wire bundle terminal under frame at rear of vehicle on driver side that seems to be the plug for a hitch wiring harness Is this for the hitch electrical? image is looking up, left and back Does this indicate that, although I did NOT pay for the tow prep, it may have been done anyway? Will installation require any cutting of the painted rear bumber or air dam surfaces?

Expert Reply:

For your 2017 Lexus RX 350 the Curt hitch part # C13272 that you referenced is a confirmed fit and would work well. No fascia trimming is needed.

The Curt wiring harness part # 56083 will plug into the port. But what you need to do is test the pins of the connector you found with a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 to make sure voltage is present there. Most likely it is but you would want to verify first. Let us know too!
