I read several of the forums about issues with different wiring solutions for towing. Great information...but now I am in overload without the one best solution.

Here is my situation and I would appreciate anyones feedback that has lived the solution.
99 RX300 w/ towing prep package
Getting a hitch from Hidden Hitch
Wanting to tow a 5x8 U-haul trailer

What do I need to wire up and where do I get it?

Thanks for your help!

Pretty sure TO option didnt become available ti'll MY2000/2001, double check me on this.

As for a wiring solution, you'd probly need the 08921-48051 Wiring harness from lexus.
