Yeah in particular for those of us who don't want the electrical or max towing capacity either.

Has anyone found a 2" Class III hitch anywhere? Dealer does not have them, nor do the big mfgs. like Curt or Draw-Tite. Kinda hard to tow with no hitch.

Got a 23 RX 350H (white/palomino) on order and the dealer tells me the Lexus hitch is dealer installed. Sales person was unable to say if they have to notch the rear bumper (which I really do not want). FWIW, on the Toyota Rave4 they not the bumper but have a nice finishing trim to cover the cut. Dealer cannot say if say is available.

I have not been able to find a hitch anywhere. Draw-tite and Stealth both make hidden hitches for the 2022 RX, but not for the 23. I reached out to Stealth and they tell me that they have not seen a 23 RX. No ETA. But given that it is a big seller, they suspect they will sometime in the future. But boating season is 4 months away. I've contact Draw-Tite and they have not responded yet.

Anyone have any ideas when a hitch might appear? BTW, the dealer wants over $1200 CAD for a hitch with ugly plug attachment)

youll be surprised that adding a hitch with the intent of towing is a hard deal with the RX. Your RX needs the towing package and most of the RX rolling out does not have towing package. theres another post here which i see you are asking "Has anyone found a 2" Class III hitch anywhere? Dealer does not have them, nor do the big mfgs. like Curt or Draw-Tite. Kinda hard to tow with no hitch."

none so far hoping for Stealth Hitch makes a hitch for our RX

Eagleboy99

Well as I said in the separate thread I just created, I talked to them and they might be doing one. No ETA though. WAiting on Draw-Tite's versions info too!

All Canadian RX 350's come with towing package. And yeah, the lack of a hitch is a bit of a showstopper.

The 2022 hitch requires removing the bumper fascia. Same for 2023 maybe? https://www.lexusofcalgary.com/acces...-towing-hitch/

Just got off the phone with Miguel at Cequent Performance who owns Draw-tite. No Hidden Hitch model for the 2023 Lexus(es) yet. He said it is normally 3-4 months after they come available that Draw-tite has products for the models. But no guarantees.

FYI, on the Draw-tite Hidden Hitch, I just got off the phone with Miguel at Cequent Performance who owns Draw-tite. No Hidden Hitch model for the 2023 Lexus(es) yet. He said it is normally 3-4 months after they come available that Draw-tite has products for the models. But no guarantees.

interesting

MrBiebs

U-haul has one listed (CURT), but I wouldn't order it without confirming as that model isn't listed as supporting the 2023 model year on their website.

I called them. Nope. Not for the new platform on which the 2023 RC 350 rides. They will give me a free hitch installed if I drive it to their shop in Arizona though. LOL

Eagleboy99

Anyone ever hear of this outfit? They list up to 2022 (have an email to them asking if/when they will support 2023 RX) models. I sure love the idea of a stainless steel hitch! https://torkliftcentral.com/2020-202...-steel-edition

Torklift is great as its a local company here in Seattle. We had bought a hitch for our previous '19 Rav4 although not the stainless and stealth edition.
