  1. Attached is an image of the Curt hitch with the rough dimensions after installing on my RX350L. The instructions and e-trailer video were very helpful, and I installed mine w/o jacking-up the vehicle. It did help to have jack-stands to support and raise the hitch against the frame. And I did remove the bracket for the exhaust, but it's possible to install w/o moving it; but loosening it makes it easier to maneuver and handle the hitch placement above/around the exhaust. The hardest part was getting the last 2 bolts to align, but I used a long crowbar to slightly stretch-open the hitch < 0.25", which solved the alignment issue. Some have reported needing to enlarge the oval-like hole(s) in the hitch, but I didn't.
  2. I installed this curt hitch on my RX350L and it looks great from the backside. I'm pretty sure we lost the kick sensor rear door feature, but we weren't planning to use it very often, so an okay tradeoff. I don't know if the (6) frame hitch holes on the RX350L are the same as those on the RX450hL, but am happy to provide dimensions if anyone would like.
  3. I just got a reply from e-trailer regarding the Curt Model C13394, and the response is good news for me and my `22 RX350L, I hope. See https://www.etrailer.com/question-694817.html?fb=yes
  4. Bobby (or other), please let me know if you had success adding a hitch to your 2020 RX350L, including wiring? And whether the (Curt or other?) hitch you selected fit your 350L using spacers and/or without trimming the bumper or other plastic? I'm also curious how you handled the rear door kick sensor? We recently purchased a 2022 RX350L off the lot, and it did not include the towing package (and thus no hitch), but does include the rear door kick sensor; so it sounds similar to your vehicle. I'm also having trouble finding any third-party hitches that are confirmed to fit the 2022. I feel 99% sure that if the hitch fits the 2019+ RX350L that it will also fit our 2022, since nothing I've read would indicate any such change for this generation of the 350L's.
  5. Vince (or other), please let me know if you added a hitch to your 2021 RX350L, including wiring? And whether you purchased OEM from Lexus, or went third-party (Curt, etrailer, etc.)? We recently purchased a 2022 RX350L off the lot, and it did not include the towing package (and thus no hitch), but does include the rear door kick sensor. I've heard/read that we'd need to relocate the kick sensor (via an accessory package) or lose it's capability (no big deal to us now). I'm also having trouble finding any third-party hitches that are confirmed to fit the 2022. I feel 99% sure that if the hitch fits the 2019+ RX350L that it will also fit our 2022, since nothing I've read would indicate any such change for this generation of the 350L's. Also, has anyone installed (or considered) the 'stealthhitches' option for their RX? I like the idea & design, although their site also does include an product for the 350L 😞 I may email them to inquire.
