Thanks for the update. I’m in seattle and can’t wait to take my 500H in for the install. Are you getting the wiring harness too? Did you car come with the tow upgrade kit? They told me it wasn’t available.

Hopefully they will compare it to last year's RX as well as the 350 hitch. As I posted before, the same Draw-tite hitch is used in the 22s and 23s.

@Eagleboy99 I'll sure to ask. They said they'll be making a hitch from scratch though.

Here you go Torklift hitch stealth style (removable receiver) for the 2023 RX 500h. They'll be cross checking with a 2023 RX 350 very soon! Hopefully they'll be fulfilling orders in three weeks so hang tight! They also mentioned they got 20+ on preorder so people are needing a hitch for their 2023 RX. Ill be uploading more photos of the mounting points tomorrow.
Edit: will be making a new thread.

Thanks for your help.

$1140 for a hitch? That is insane.

I have a 2023 RX 350 AWD (not hybrid) and have been looking for a hitch for a couple of months. I originally bought the $700 Lexus OEM hitch but backed out and went with the Draw-tite hitch for $250 out the door (https://www.draw-tite.com/Product/76...-trailer-hitch). Installed it myself. 4 bolts. Nothing to cut, nothing to remove. Super easy. Granted I used my motorcycle lift to hold it in place while I fastened the bolts. Picture attached. Also, the kick sensor still works perfectly!
