Hello Tom,

Congrats on the new Lexus RX 350. Not a whole lot of cars grab my attention on the road, but the new grille on the RX 350 gets me every time!

Our etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish - Class III - 2" # e29ZV is listed as a 4 out of 10 for difficulty. No drilling is required, you will however need to lower the exhaust to install.

I do not have an install video on our etrailer hitch, but it is identical to the Curt # C29VV (the only difference is theirs is a glossy black finish, ours is a matte black) which we do have an install video on a 2024 RX 350h that I atttached, the install is going to be the same. That way you can take a look and see if it is something you are comfortable installing.

If you needed to pair the hitch with some wiring for some light towing or hitch mounted accessory you will want the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # TK92KR. For a clean looking install you will also want a # 18140 and a # 18144.

If you need a ball mount as well, check out our etrailer Ball Mount w/ Pre-Torqued 2" Ball - 2" Hitch - 2" Drop - 7,500 lbs # e67DR. I really like that our ball comes in a black nickel plating, give it a nice sleek look.

What are you looking to use the hitch for? Trailer, bike rack, etc...

@PeterD If you don't have a rack already, we do have some great ones on our site. Do you have a specific trail you like to ride? We have the Katy Trail here in Missouri and it is always loaded with bikes!
