Picked up the car yesterday and there is no Ball Mount. Oh well........

Ahhhhhh......the plot thickens!! Ha Ha! I'll let you know what I find when I pick mine up! Thanks!

Thanks very much. That keeps me from making an Idiot of myself if I asked what happened to the Ball Mount! Got a call yesterday that the car has arrived at the Dealer, and will be ready to pick up on Tuesday afternoon. Really looking forward to it! Thanks again!

I posted this last night, but I don't see it today, so here goes again. I'm about to purchase a 2008 RX350. My Dealer charges $995 for the Factory XM Radio option. Does anyone have the factory XM radio, and if so, how do you like it? I have a portable XM radio, but thought having the Factory XM Radio in the car might be worthwhile. My question is, is it worth the price versus the portable unit I already use? Pros...Cons???? Thanks!!

GDixon, Your post was very informative for me. I have just purchased a 2008 RX350, due to arrive at the Dealers on Monday 8/20, and am having the Dealer install the Hitch. I see the "Ball Mount" is listed in the "Kit Contents" list at the top of the installation instructions. Did your Hitch come with the Ball Mount? That is, the male part that slides into the Receiver hitch itself? I was told that the Ball Mount was not included. Also, It looks like it's a 2" square receiver. Yes? Thanks for your information!!
