That is the Lexus hitch, part number PT228-48160 and hitch-specific replacement bumper trim 52108-0E060.

 

Cool Never knew it was possible to get a hitch from Lexus on a RX. Learn something new every day.

 

Yup, we had one on our 2007. Ordered the OE hitch and installed it in my garage--threaded holes were already in the frame, so it was pretty straightforward.

Anyway, back to the LX.

 

I have a hitch from Chrysler on my Pacifica

 

2022 lx600 is the thread topic folks

 

Saw the vehicle in person today, it was locked and we couldn't sit in it, but it was an eminent white pearl UL model with a black interior. It looks nice, but nobody who doesn't know Lexus would know it was new, and it got zero attention. My business partner was with me and he couldn't believe it was all new.

 

I don't think it will do well. Not in the United States at least. I wonder if those enthusiasts who bought Land Cruiser over the years will bite.

 

I think it will sell to those who would buy an LX anyways, but won't expand their market any.

 

Which is now super small. Just not feeling it. Quality is probably still there.

 

Yep, I agree. They will sell 4,500 or so a year here.

 

What I think Lexus will do is start doing more off road stuff like LR. they have a triple locker LX600...my guess is GX and LX go this route in the future. In TO they have the off road GX concept last time.

 

I remember Carmaker posting that the next gen GX would be more offroad focused...

 

Yeah. I think I remember that too. Makes sense, as there is more mark up with the logo. They will do the same with the Toyota brand

 

I think that makes sense, leave the regular family hauling stuff to the crossovers...

 

Like that Rugged Edition pic above? That looks like a cool option for off-roaders.
