Review on πŸš— CURT 13143 Class 3 Trailer Hitch, 2-Inch Receiver, Compatible with Lexus RX350 and RX450h Models by David Sharma

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent product

The product itself is very well designed and durable. The fit is excellent and can be screwed on. However, read these tips. Tip 1 It only takes 2 people to lift the hitch into place and insert a couple of jackbolts. The rest of the work (99%) is done by one person. Tip 2: Use a cardboard clutch between the floor and your body. Works well to protect you from dirt. Tip 3 Prepare the six mounting holes/weld nuts with the supplied hex head screws by adding antioxidant to the screw threads and screwing/unscrewing them a few full turns. Tip 4 Get a torque wrench that will do the 86 ft-lbs required. Do not shorten this step. 86 ft-lbs is huge and you can't get there with a small ratchet. "Firm" is not enough. Tip 5: Let your child or spouse take the Lexus plastic cover and clean it - both sides. You'll be glad you did because it's not cool to do it with a bunch of street dirt. Tip 6: Plastic cover cutting patterns are a great illustration of what material needs to be removed. Look carefully. That's right. Tip 7 Work slowly and not when it is wet/dark. It might be half the fun.
