Did you try googling the part number to find a dealer close to you selling online for less? If the dealer is really close, you could save on shipping by picking up in person.
I'm at $238 for a new hitch alone, before taxes and local pick up. Would love to find it cheaper! "If it's free, it's for me!"

Oops, didn't realize your final price included other items. Deal looks great to me, though I have no opinion on the ball hitch. I bought mine from harbor freight for $14 with pin, but it's only rated for 5000lb. I'm sure the Lexus model is superior

The Lexus ball mount looks to be 10,000#. I'm going to cancel it since I am finding them cheaper on Ebay. There is a new one for $17 about 30 miles from me, and I need a road trip stat 😆

Wow, had no idea the OEM hitch was so reasonable. For that price difference, wish I had gone with oem

Received a call from Nicholas @ Discount Parts Monster saying that Toyota has stopped sales of the tow Hitch and refunded my entire order 🤦🏽‍♂️ He said that manufacturing may have been impacted by the pandemic, and does not know when it will be available again.

Matt@OEMVehicleparts says he still has no problem getting that hitch within one business day. It's too big to use his shipping code so looks like it would run around $375/shipped but he also doesn't charge sale tax if you live in one of the states that do.

Thanks again Acrad! Might wait on this since it is not a needed item at the moment.
