I recommend using the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT84MR on your 2018 Lexus RX 350 L. The Curt Receiver # C13272 you found will not fit the RX 350 L only the RX 350. The Draw-Tite is only confirmed to fit models without a dual exhaust. I also prefer the Draw-Tite # DT84MR over the Curt # C13394 which does fit your Lexus as the Draw-Tite has the welded on tab to secure your trailer wiring.

If your Lexus has the factory trailer wiring you can use the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118252 otherwise you will need the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness # 119250KIT to get a 4-way connector. Then you will be able to use the Mounting Bracket # 18144 to secure it to the Draw-Tite receiver.

Are you absolutely sure that the Draw-Tite DT84MR (76336) will fit the 2018 Lexus RX350L? The specs do not seem to list the 2018 RX350L, whereas the CURT # 13394 does specifically list 2018 RX350L. And what exactly is the reason that the Draw-Tite 75540 model, for the standard RX350 won’t fit?

@GeorgeB As long as it doesn't have the Twin-Tip Exhaust, Draw-Tite does confirm the fit. We no longer carry this hitch though, so I can't speak to how well it fits. I also cannot speak on the 75540 hitch, unfortunately. Draw-Tite's parent company (First Brands) has had some... "issues" as of late and their parts are impossible to get ahold of. Look them up online and you will see what I mean. Due to this, we have removed all their products from our website. Hopefully they come back, but who knows.

@GeorgeB Draw-Tite went out of business in early 2025, so neither of these hitches are available anymore. I did check and it appears that the Draw-Tite DT84MR was for a Toyota Highlander not a Lexus. The only trailer hitch we have for a 2018 Lexus RX 350 L is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13394. The C13394 does not fit a Lexus RX 350L with dual exhaust though. If your Lexus has a dual exhaust, I don't currently have a hitch option for that vehicle.
