highland Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 I want to install a Class III trailer hitch on my 2004 Lexus RX. I contacted a trailer company who said that it was very complicated due to the electronics involved. Should it be as complicated as they say? Any suggestions about who should do the installation? A trailer company or an auto service place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should use a genuine Lexus/Toyota hitch since it has the electrical connection already wired if you have the "tow package" option. The Lexus hitch looks better as well.

Mike Bearden Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 U-Haul did the hitch install on our 05 RX330. No problems at all...the installer said that they see a lot of RX's. It's not a hard install and the wiring wasn't a problem. I did have a problem with the converter burning up but that turned out to be a short in the trailer wiring. U-Haul traced the problem.
