I'm not worried about tongue weight as all I'm using the hitch for is to transport bicycles. I searched and found a guy had problems scraping his ES300 (unsure if it was 3rd or 4th gen) on inclines and that's all I could find on this forum.
Does anyone have pictures of their 4th or 5th gen with a trailer hitch? And can you tell me if it's Draw-Tite, Hidden Hitch, or some other brand? I'm considering a bolt-on affair like that if it isn't visually obtrusive, or an alternative would be to bolt a receiver to the rear bumper support.
Thanks for any future help.
P.S. - I have all the Yakima parts necessary for a roof rack, but I am trying to avoid installing it and killing my fuel economy.
