The Draw-Tite item # DT73QR installs below the bumper. This hitch is perpetually backordered due to Draw-Tite being bought out so I have a way better option for a hitch for your 2023 Lexus RX 350. I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch item # C29VV. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Lexus with included hardware.

I really like this hitch because the crosstube mounts behind your rear bumper leaving only the 2" receiver visible. This not only looks better it also helps with ground clearance.

I have attached a couple of pictures below so you can see how this hitch installs and what it will look like.

If you are planning on towing you will also need a wiring harness item # C59236 and a ball mount kit item # C45534.

I also recommend using the No-Drill Mount Bracket item # 18136 and the item # C42CR to secure the 4-way connector to your hitch. This will put it in an easy to reach spot and prevent the risk of it falling onto the road.

Hi, Looking for a hitch that would work on my 2024 RX450H+. The description doesn't list this vehicle as an application but there is a picture of my car from someone who bought it and installed it. What are your thoughts? Thanks,

@Peter I checked with our vendors and no one has a hitch listed that will work with the 2024 Lexus RX450H+.

We have a hitch for your 2023 Lexus RX 350h with the Curt part #C29VV but the Draw Tite you mentioned does not work. The Curt would still allow the rear kick sensor to open the rear tailgate but you would have to kick to either side of the hitch.

The difference between the Class II and Class III hitches has to do with their Gross Trailer Weight (GTW), their Tongue Weight (TW), and their Hitch Receiver Size. Class II trailer hitch receivers have a 1-1/4 inch receiver and can be rated up to…

Hey Ken, You can still install the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver #DT73QR but you'd be likely voiding the warranty you have with Lexus and if any hitch mounted accessories end up causing damage you'd probably have to eat the cost for…

I can tell you John, I had the same concern when I installed a receiver on my Acura RDX. While my receiver did not entirely prevent the use of the kick sensor for the hands free liftgate it did limit the area I was able to kick due to the receiver.…

We do have what you need to add a 7-way trailer connector to your 2018 Subaru Outback Wagon but there isn't a specific custom harness that fits. If right now the Outback has no trailer wiring at all the easiest way to add a 7-way is to start with…

Hi Misty, The #ETBC7L along with the Curt Echo Wireless Brake Controller #C51180 would be a compatible option for your 2023 Subaru Forester, but you might need to install one other wire harness first. If you don't currently have a 4-pole trailer…
