Hey Andres! I would like to start out by confirming that both the etrailer Hitch item # e94AR and the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector item # 118255 are both confirmed to fit your 2016 Lexus RX 350.
I have linked a couple of installation videos below so you can see how to get those parts set up.
For a ball mount, I recommend the Curt Towing Starter Kit for 2" Hitches item # C45534. This towing kit will provide you with a 2" ball and a fixed ball mount with a 3/4" rise and 2" drop. It also includes a hitch pin and clip, hitch receiver lock with keys, hitch cover, and a storage case.

Hey Andres, how did the Curt towing starter kit work out for hauling your cart trailer? Your experience could point others in the right direction when setting up their RX 350 for towing.
