Question:

It looks like there is a gap between the square receiver and the lower bumper on most models reducing ground clearance. Which model will provide the most clearance between the lower edge of the square receiver tube and the ground?

Hey Joe. Both of the hitches available for the 2025 Lexus RX 350 are going to have the same amount of clearance. The bottom of the 2" receiver on the Curt item # C29VV and our etrailer item # e29ZV both sit right at 10-3/4" above the ground. These are class III 2" hitches that have the same 3,500 lbs towing capacity and 500 lbs maximum tongue weight. The installation process is identical.

I recommend going with our etrailer item # e29ZV hitch. It's the most cost effective and it's matte finish blends in better beneath your Lexus's trim. The other hitches have a bright glossy finish that sticks out.

What do you plan on using your new hitch for?

Hey Joe, how did things turn out with the hitch for your Lexus RX 350? Did the etrailer model give you the clearance and look you were hoping for? Your update could make it easier for others choosing between these hitches.
