Default Trailer hitch?

Anyone have any luck finding a traitor hitch for the updated body style? I have a hitch mounted bike rack, so a hitch is a must!

Yep, you need to be careful with those traitorous hitches. (Sorry, I couldn't resist).

Your vehicle requires a custom-built hitch


If U-Haul doesn't have a hitch for your vehicle, nobody does!

Your vehicle requires a custom-built hitch which we will gladly fabricate for you. If you are able to bring your vehicle to our Tempe, AZ Research & Development facility we'll provide you with a free U-Haul custom trailer hitch, including free installation, and a lifetime unlimited warranty in exchange for the use of your vehicle to fabricate the trailer hitch. We'll need the vehicle for two to three days. If you are interested in this offer please complete the form below and we'll contact you to schedule your appointment. This offer is only valid until one customer per vehicle can fulfill our requirements.

Need a trailer hitch, but can't come to Tempe, AZ for a fabrication?

The main company that builds hitches for lexus cars is Curt https://www.curtmfg.com/ I have one on my GS and love it. Its a hidden hitch and only the square tubing slide for the receiver is shown.

I checked there website and nothing for the 19 ES, but send them an email im pretty sure there working on it and it will be released soon.

Thanks. I emailed Curt to ask them if they have one in the works. I'd prefer to have a bolt on opti9n so I can install it myself, but will check with the local Uhaul on their cost as well.

For what it's worth, U-Haul does sell Curt hitches, normally available for any vehicle that Curt makes a hitch to fit. I've found their installed prices to be WAY below other dealers, and if they install it, you get for $5.00, a lifetime warranty on the hitch and the installation.

I would also like to get a hitch installed for my bike rack. This is actually my wife's car, but we take it on trips, and I will occasionally need to be able to take bikes.

I assume a hitch will interfere with the foot-activated trunk switch, yeah?

Has anyone gotten a hitch installed on their 2019/2020 ES yet?
