Hey James! The Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT73QR fits all models of the 2026 Lexus RX 350 including your non-hybrid. The installation does not require lowering the exhaust so you won't have to worry about that either.

What will you be using the hitch for?

@RobinH Mine is on a 5th Gen RX350, non-hybrid. It was honestly a 15 minute installation, and this is for a 60+ year old guy. I grabbed the appropriate ratchet and sockets, used a floor jack to steady it in place under the car, relatively centered, and installed it myself. I use this for a Kuat bike rack, and it fits perfectly. FYI, I do not leave it on the car due to the safety sensors on the car, but it is so easy to install and remove on a near daily basis.

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…

No, it does not. The Draw-Tite Hitch item #DT73QR does not require you to drop the exhaust when installing it on your 2023 Lexus RX 350. I have linked the instructions below so you can take a look at them.

Answer 4

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.

Answer 5

Not that I have heard of but that's typically not an achievable goal of the manufacturer's. The Curt Hitch item #C29VV is a better option for the 2025 Lexus RX 350h. It doesn't have that piece of angle iron mounted between the crossbar…
