Hello and sorry for making a new thread on this. I have researched existing tow hitch threads and was ready to buy, but need some advice. In a previous thread part# PT228-48045 including factory 3500lbs tow hitch, hardware and factory wiring is showing purchase prices of $212.00 + S/H from lexuspartsonline.com, however when I go to that site they are showing a price of $404.00 + s/h. Can anyone shed some light on where the I should purchase from? My vehicle does have the factory tow package so I will not need anything additional for the lights to function. Thanks

Can anyone please tell me the best place to purchase an OEM Lexus hitch part# PT228-48045? Sorry to be a pain, just confused as to the drastic price difference from different posters.

Wow,
thank you so much for the site info. The price is better then anywhere I have called or visited? Are these all oem genuine Lexus parts?

Just ordered the oem hitch kit and ball mount for a total of $287.00 with free shipping. That is simply the nest current price I have found. I can't wait to receive and I will definitely post my thoughts. Thans so much Claude for the help!!!

Glad I could help. The install is not difficult either. Plugging in the wiring harness is only part they may present a challenge. I'll check back on your progress.

I actually studied and printed a DYI on the hitch/wiring, so hopefully with the heat on in the garage I should be able to handle it. Thanks again so much for the site info. I was just about ready to purchase from the dealer my god father works at with is employee discount and the best price would have been $335.00 + tax! from lxparts.com less then $300 total. with mount...
