Default Hitch or other cargo holds LS600

I was there was a 2013 LS460 hitch put on a 2010. I need some additional cargo room for road trips in my 2008 LS600. I'm handy enough to put on the hitch but I don't know if it will fit my bumper.

Any ideas or alternatives to a trailer hitch cargo? Put on a roof carrier?

Don't put roof carrier on that car. It is going to be so ugly, LOL. I'd go with the hitch. Bumper cover can be trimmed.

Or just look at user's manual - no towing allowed at all.

It's really a timeless look, even better if you could find running boards to go with.

I won't be towing. Just a hitch to add on a cargo rack.

I do take your point.

I like trailer dot com. They show a roof carrier but no hitch. Call them, they may be able to help. A cargo hitch can hold a lot of gear as long as it’s light weight. You don’t want 400lb torquing the rear suspension along with a heavy trunk load. I believe a roof rack is a good alternative. They have Yakima and Inno.

Or you could give it to fedx to move? And if you are bringing it back after the trip I will tell you the same thing I tell my wife of 56 years. You are taking to much crap
