Question

Question:

so i am wondering why you rated the difficulty of install at 10 out of 10? Looking at the install instructions, it does not look like you need to remove the rear bumper fascia. is there something i am not seeing ? any information appreciated. thank you

The difficulty ratings are provided by the manufacturer and are general ratings for the stealth hitch and the Lexus. Some Lexus models may require more steps to get them installed. As an installer here I can tell you the fascia does not have to be removed to install the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver Item # 391LXRX16 on the 2019 Lexus RX 350 F Sport. However, attaching the latching mechanism onto the hitch cross tube prior to putting it on the vehicle will make it easier as all bolts require torquing. All torque specs are listed in the instructions.

I have provided a video link to my video to help walk you through the instillation on the of the
T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package - 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector Item # 118252 that is a confirmed fit if your Lexus has a factory tow package.
