Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2017 Lexus RX 350 F-Sport

Question

Question:

I was looking at the Curt Hitch for the 2017 Lexus RX 350 F-sport. Looks like the part #C13272 fits both base model and F-sport. Is this correct?

Actually, the only trailer hitch currently available that's confirmed to fit the F Sport model of your 2017 Lexus RX 350 is the Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver; either the part # 391LXRX16T if you ever plan on doing any towing or # 391LXRX16 if you only plan on using it for hitch-mounted accessories like a bike rack or cargo carrier. Both offer a 350 pound tongue weight capacity (along with a 3,500 pound towing limit for the # 391LXRX16T) and feature a completely hidden design when not in use.

I have attached the install instructions for these hitches that you can check out as well.
