  1. The factory Toyota/Lexus hitch is the least visible one available. Plus, it is designed to fit perfectly and the electrical connections are simple. Getting to the electrical connection is not so simple since it requires removal of the luggage area. Hopefully, the RX is equipped with a tow package.

I have a 2007 RX350 FWD and would like to install the Toyota trailer hitch. Is it absolutely necessary to make the electrical connection if I'm only using the hitch just to transport a bike rack? From your post, it seems that is the most difficult part of the install, and I would prefer to skip that part if I can. I also noticed your RX350 is an AWD. Is there any difference in the install for a FWD? Thanks again for your very helpful 2007 post, and thank you in advance for your response. Daniel
  2. I own an RX350 FWD, 2007. Just bought a set of four new tires. All four old tires were gone because each of the inside treads were worn to the tire core. Each tire still had tread left in the middle and on the outside. Why do all four tires wear on the inside so quickly? Is it a problem with the springs or the design of the suspension system? (I drive mostly all highway miles.) I suspect this is why most owners get less than 30,000 miles on the first set of tires.
  3. I just bought a set of four tires and had them changed for the first time, and went through this. There are two different things being discussed here. There are (1) the sensors (which include the valve stems; do a Google image search for "tire pressure monitoring system"), which do NOT need to be replaced, and there are (2) the washers around the valve stem, the nut that holds the valve stem to the wheel, and the "innards" of the valve stem itself (not the sensor), which can be replaced at tire change time. Replacing (1) is about $180 per tire. Replacing (2) is about $18 per tire. Go to a tire store that has done this before and know the difference.
