If a hitch is super important to you then it's best to verify that a hitch is available before purchasing a vehicle. The cost of custom fabricated hitches can vary wildly. I suggest getting several bids. I'm going to have a class II trailer hitch fabricated for a new mid-engine Corvette C8 convertible so I can plug a bike rack into it and I won't be surprised if the total cost is well over $1,000 but that's a nit considering it's an $80,000+ car. I will provide a detailed design to the fabricator. Out of curiosity, do you still drive Lexus or switched to other brand? I remember you mentioned once that you switched. I am quite disappointed with UX200. Ready to sell but do not know what should buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am quite disappointed with UX200. Ready to sell but do not know what should buy. I haven't owned a Lexus since selling my 2000 LS400 to a friend in 2014. I drove a 2014 Toyota Sienna Limited van from 2014 to 2022 when I sold it to another friend and bought a new Porsche Cayenne. I had planned buy the new Corvette I mentioned but it never got the safety features I wanted. I'm not sure what the Cayenne is. Put it in Sport Plus mode and it handles like a hard core raucous sports car. Put it in Normal mode and it's like a serene limo. I've for decades kept an ever changing prioritized list of the features I want in a new vehicle. A trailer hitch - either OEM or aftermarket - is a nonnegotiable item on the list. I don't buy a vehicle if it doesn't have or I can't get a trailer hitch for it. Having a requirements list makes it easier to identify suitable vehicles. For example, we had planned to replace the Prius v wagon my wife drives with a Toyota RAV4 until I found out that some important features weren't available on it. After finding that the features missing from the RAV4 were available on the similar Lexus NX, we got on a wait list for one. By the way, an OEM trailer hitch is available for the Lexus NX.

Ellen12 Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Well, I got hitch in 2020 but overall car performance is not what I want nowadays. Partially because I have moved to country side and this vehicle is not design for this area. Now I am debating what to get… NX would be my choice but I feel sorry to drive this car on gravel driveways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
