Question:
Hello... I see that this will fit my 2019 Lexus RX350 base model. My question is, will installation require any cutting/trimming of the bumper or any other cutting/trimming? Thanks

Hello Bill,
Usually when someone is asking it is because they do not want to trim the fascia. Well, you are in luck because there is no trimming required.
The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C13272 is going to be a great fit for your 2019 Lexus RX350, and it is only a 3 out of 10 for install, meaning it is one of the easiest to install. I do see that if equipped with the lateral performance damper, the damper will need to be removed to install this hitch.
Need a ball mount? Check out our etrailer Ball Mount w/ Pre-Torqued 2" Ball - 2" Hitch - 2" Drop - 7,500 lbs # e67DR. I really like how our 2" ball comes in a black nickel plating, which gives it a nice sleek design. Added bonus: your hitch pin and clip are also included.
If you need wiring to go with it for light towing or a hitch-mounted accessory, you will want the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package - 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118252. For a clean, finished look, be sure to add a # C42CR mounting bracket and the # 18136 no-drill bracket.
What are you planning on using the hitch for? Towing, bike rack, cargo carrier, etc.? If you are pulling something with brakes, please let me know so I can get you the additional parts.

Hey Bill, Did you decide to go with the Curt Trailer Hitch for your Lexus RX350? I'm curious if the installation was as smooth as expected without any trimming needed. Your experience could really help others looking to install a hitch on their Lexus.
