Default Aftermarket Trailer Hitch
For my 2010 Lexus 450h...

Looking at an 2 inch aftermarket trailer hitch, Curt, class 3, 2” trailer hitch on Amazon or Walmart. Rated 4000 tow and 400 lb rack.

Checked out installation on YouTube and it looked about an hour plus work... any special interests I should be aware of.
The connection will be for a duel electric bike rack, probably Hollywood brand... which is also heavy. Bikes and rack should be about 300 lbs.

Search the RX forum, you’ll find everything you need to know. We don’t need another trailer hitch thread.

The Curt product will work great. Put one on my 2010 RX450h a couple of years ago, no issues. You will also need an inexpensive wiring harness, don't remember the product model number, but check other trailer hitch comments on this blog.
