Great product. Great instructions for install. I was able to do it myself with no help. I am a 60 yo woman. I used car ramps. I installed in on a RX450h 2013. It took me 2 hours because I had to set up and gather items. I hadnt done this before. I used stuff I had around me(a pail and some wood pieces) to prop it up so I could get the screws started. I borrowed a torque wrench. And reinstalled the fascia. It looks great.

Great service, prompt delivery

Easy to install everything fit perfectly ,no problems!

  • Installation of Trailer Hitch Receiver 75676 on 2014 Lexus 450h
    The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 75676 is a confirmed fit for your 2014 Lexus RX 450h. We do not have any videos of the RX450h with that particular hitch receiver, but I have added the video of the installation of the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C13143 which is also a fit to assist.

  • Recommended Bike Carrier for 2015 Lexus RX 350
    The best way to transport bikes on your new 2015 Lexus RX 350 is to install a trailer hitch and use a hitch-mount rack. Hitch racks place the entire weight burden of the rack and bikes on the car's frame - it's strongest part - rather than on its thin sheet metal. The hatch hinge on your car is made to handle the weight of the hatch itself, but it is not really intended to also support a 70 to 100-lb load from bikes and their carrier. You can use 2-inch Class III hitch # C13143 from Curt,...

  • Bike Rack and Cargo Carrier Recommendation for 2015 Lexus RX 350
    There really isn't a great way to accomplish what you are trying to do. The dual hitch receivers like the part # D-192 cut the capacity of the hitch they are installed in by 50 percent and add quite a bit of leverage to the hitch. I really wouldn't recommend going this route. A better choice would be the # HR1400Z-85 which has a bike rack and a cargo carrier behind it. As long as you have a 2 inch hitch installed on your 2015 Lexus RX 350 like the part # C13143 you would be good.

  • Will Thule Hitching Post Pro Work with Curt Hitch on 2013 Lexus RX 350
    The correct Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver for a 2013 Lexus RX 350 is part # C13143. This hitch features a simple bolt-on install. It will then pair perfectly with the Thule Hitching Post Pro Bike Rack part # TH934XTR allowing you to haul your bikes to and from the trails. You won't have any issues with compatibility or capacity. I can't provide shipping dimensions of said items but their respective shipping weights are both 40 lbs.

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver Confirmed To Fit 2022 Lexus RX 350
    You are going to need the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75540 for your 2022 Lexus RX 350 as the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13143 will only fit the 2010-2015 RX 350. The Draw-Tite receiver may push up slightly on the rear fascia of your Lexus as the rear fascia was made slightly lower with the 2000 and newer models.

  • Installing Curt Class III Receiver Hitch, Part # C13143 on a 2010 Lexus RX350
    To install the # C13143 hitch, the underbody trim panel you describe would be temporarily removed. The hitch would then be installed to the vehicle frame. The panel will need some minor trimming to fit around the hitch, and will then be reinstalled. The trimming is very minor, and would only be visible from directly under the vehicle.

  • Bike Rack and Hitch Compatibility on 2015 Lexus RX 350 with 2-Inch Class III Hitch
    Only 2-inch Class III hitches like Curt # C13143 are offered for your 2015 Lexus RX350 so what you'll do is use a hitch reducer sleeve # HT02 in the 2-inch receiver to downsize it to a 1-1/4-inch opening. You can then use your 1-1/4-inch bike rack in the RX 350. You'll need a 5/8-inch hitch pin # PC3 to secure the reducer in the 2-inch hitch. A pin for the 1-1/4-inch accessory carrier is included.

  • Hitch Bike Rack Recommendation For Two Heavy E-bikes On A 2015 Lexus RX 350
    Your RadRover 5 weighs 69 lbs and your Eunorau 48V250W+350W FAT-AWD All Wheel Drive bike weighs 77 lbs. Both of these bikes exceed the weight limit of the Thule EasyFold XT. In fact, even if you remove the battery of the Eunorau, it will still exceed the weight limit of the EasyFold XT. So it is important that your hitch receiver has a large maximum tongue weight to support the bikes. Now I do have a hitch receiver recommendation for your 2015 Lexus RX 350.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch For A 2013 Lexus RX 350 With F Sport Package
    For your 2013 Lexus RX 350 with the F Sport package, I recommend going with the Curt Class III Hitch # C13143. This hitch is assembled in America and will have a max towing capacity of 4,000 pounds and 600 pounds of tongue weight capacity, though you will need to check your owner's manual for your vehicle's capacities. There will be no drilling required for the install, but you will need to do some trimming to get it to fit properly. There is also a support bar under rear of your vehicle...

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2013 Lexus RX 450h
    I double-checked with the manufacturer for you and can confirm your 2013 Lexus RX 450h is completely compatible with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13143. The hitch - which will fit your Lexus perfectly - is not a difficult install as it's a bolt-on installation.

  • Which Trailer Hitch Receiver And 2-Bike Carrier Should I Use On My 2013 Lexus RX 350?
    The correct trailer hitch receiver for your 2013 Lexus RX350 F Sport is Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C13143. It has a max tongue weight rating of 600lbs which you never want to exceed; this will work well with any bike rack with a 2" shank. This receiver has a fairly simple installation process requiring no drilling or welding. I attached an installation video showing this receiver being installed on a 2013 RX350 non sport which has an almost identical process...

  • Curt Trailer Hitch and Kuat NV2 Platform Bike Carrier Fit on 2010 Lexus RX 350
    Curt hitch # C13143 is a confirmed fit for your 2010 Lexus RX 350 and an install video is linked. With it you can use Kuat's NV2 platform bike carrier for 2-inch hitches. Kuat offers this rack in several color options; part # NV22G is gun metal grey. The Kuat NV2 will fit well on the car even when folded up in its storage position.

  • 4-Way Bracket Recommendation for a Square Tube Hitch that Doesnt Require Drilling
    For a 4-way bracket that would work great on your # C13143 that you have for your 2015 Lexus RX that wouldn't require any drilling I would recommend the 4-Flat Mounting Bracket # 18144. It comes with a couple self-tappers that you could use to secure to the rear fascia of the vehicle. It is never recommended to drill into the hitch.

  • Installation Differences Among Available Trailer Hitches for a 2011 Lexus RX350
    According to the instructions for CURT Trailer Hitch, # C13143 installation, lowering the exhaust is optional if you have a hard time getting the hitch into position (see page 7 in the instructions I have linked). The CURT hitch is shaped in such away that on the passenger side, you may be able to maneuver the hitch up and around the muffler to get it in position. The other hitches have a different shape and will more than likely require lowering the exhaust and repositioning of the exhaust...

  • Best Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2013 Lexus RX 350
    All of the hitches available for your 2013 Lexus RX 350 are pretty similar. The biggest difference is that the Curt Hitch part # C13143 can fit the F Sport and non-F Sport models. Because of that I would recommend the Curt hitch. The trailer wiring available for your vehicle, part # 56083, is only available for the models of the vehicle that have the factory tow package. Without the factory tow package use # 118255. I attached videos for you to check out as well.

  • How to Tell if a 2015 Lexus RX 350 Has the Tow Factory Package
    The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13143 is an excellent option for your 2015 Lexus RX 350 and will work well for you. It has a Class III rating with a 2" receiver tube opening. It also comes with a limited lifetime warranty. I have attached an install video of this hitch as well. I recommend using a hitch cover like part # C22272 to protect the inside of the receiver tube from rusting while not in use. For a trailer wiring harness, I recommend using the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness...

  • Trailer Wiring and Hitch Recommendation for 2015 Lexus RX 350
    Since you don't have the tow package in your 2015 Lexus RX 350 the trailer wiring harness you'd need is the Tekonsha kit part # 118255 which comes with our most reliable converter option. Then for a hitch I would recommend the Curt Class III # C13143 which is mostly hidden, priced great, and also installs easily. I attached install videos for both of these for you to check out as well.

  • Trailer Hitch for 2014 Lexus RX 350 That Doesn't Require Fascia Trimming

As you mentioned this particular hitch is designed for certain model years of the VW Golf so it won't line up with the frame on your Lexus. There are two trailer hitches available for your 2014 Lexus RX 350 (as long as you don't have the F Sport model); the Draw-Tite Class III # 75676 and the Curt Class III # C13143.

  • Does Trailer Hitch for 2014 Lexus RX 350 Fit 2017 Lexus RX 350
    The Curt # C13143 trailer hitch receiver does fit your 2014 Lexus RX 350 but not the 2017. Instead for the 2017 you need part # C13272. With that being said if you also need a wiring harness and you don't have the tow package then part # 118255 works for both model years. If you do have the tow package then you want part # 118252 for either year.

  • How to Determine if 2012 Lexus RX 350 has Factory Tow Package for Wiring Harness
    Though the best way to verify 100 percent if your 2012 Lexus RX 350 is to place a quick call to your Lexus dealer with your VIN, you can also look under the bumper to the left (driver's side) and see if you have a panel that can be removed where the tow package plug will be. It is possible the additional oil cooler is another way to tell though I would not be able to verify this. If you take a look under the bumper of your '12 RX 350 and remove small square panel and see the port that...

    The Curt Class III hitch, part # C13143 would be an excellent choice for towing a smaller trailer. Since your vehicle has the trailer tow package, you'll also need the # 56083 wiring harness.

  • Trailer Hitches and Wiring for a 2012 Lexus RX 350
    Out of the 3 trailer hitches available for your 2012 Lexus RX 350, there isn't one that sticks out more or less than the others. All 3 are pretty much identical in the receiver location, slightly recessed under the vehicle. You would not bang your shins on the receiver for sure. When we installed Curt hitch # C13143 on a 2014 RX 350 it measured 5 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the back of the vehicle. For Draw-Tite hitch # 75676 on a 2013 model, the hitch was also 5 inches...

  • Class III Hitch and 4-Bike Platform Rack for Use on 2013 Lexus RX350 and 2014 Acura MDX
    Draw-Tite and Curt brand hitches are both quality products that we sell here. These hitches share very similar design and construction - they have to since they bolt up to the vehicles' identical mounting points. The main difference between the brands is that Curt hitches are most often still made in the USA while Draw-Tite hitches are made in Mexico. All of these custom-fit hitches are made for bolt-on installation using included hardware. They should not be welded as this heat can weaken...
