It's like the customer service rep was missing something or didn't fully understand that our cars were not designed for hitches.

It's especially alarming that he was under the impression that no welding or drilling would need to be done - that it would simply bolt onto the frame of the car ... I think I'm going to call this in to confirm before making any kind of purchasing decision.

At any rate, thanks again roadfrog!
You're welcome. From what I recall of the ones I saw in Europe, the hitch will goose neck under the rear bumper, which means that no cutting or modding is required.

Could towing with the LS460 negatively impact either its factory warranty or an extended warranty?

Very likely since Lexus doesn't recommend towing with it's LS460.
