Suggest you call Curt Trailer Hitches. I looked online and couldn't find that particular model, but the company makes great products at reasonable prices. I have one on my 450h.

I just completed an install of the Curt 13272 on my 2020 RX450h. Piece of cake. Hitch was in in less than 20 min. The 13272 is for the 350 and requires a little extra cutting on the underbody cowl, but a box cutter does it easily. I also filed the exhaust mounting holes open ever so slightly to lower the exhaust 1/4” away from the receiver. Although the mounting holes are slotted, the spacing was dead center and no force or filing was needed. Note that my vehicle has the towing package. I still needed the towing cable ($15). It is a direct plug into the provided receptacle behind the left rear bumper. This receiver is completely hidden except for the 2” opening and it is slightly farther back than the rear bumper - no bruised shins!

many of us regular 450 people have hitches, OEM, or other options.

Does anyone with RX450L or HL can confirm otherwise?

Anybody know what tow hitch that will fit a 2020 450hl. The Lexus parts website suggests the official one PT228-48180 will fit but the dealer can’t confirm anything.
Anybody know if the official one will fit or a third party one that will work.

So I put the 350L hitch on the car and there were no issues. I would say that any hitch that fits a 2018 350l onwards will fit the 2020 450hl

Fr om Scotlexus. So I put the 350L hitch on the car and there were no issues. I would say that any hitch that fits a 2018 350l onwards will fit the 2020 450hl
Well It goes to follow that the Hitch that fits a RX 350 L and also fits a RX450h would therefor fit an RX450hl ??
From Curt website ;
2020 RX350L. Curt # 13394
2019 RX350L. Curt# 13394
2018 RX350L. Curt#. 13394
2020 RX 450h. Curt (NOT SPECIFIED)
2019 RX 450h. Curt # 13282
2018 RX 450h, Curt# 13282
So it seems that just because a hitch fits a RX long doesn't fit an rx450h,, I was trying to decipher which trim drives the design of the hitch , the HYBRID or the LONG? Like Scotlexus, I was willing to say that the long would determine the layout of the hitch

I just purchased this SUV and I need to install a hitch for my kuat Sherpa bike rack. I need low racks because I can’t lift heavy objects. Can someone help me find one. Thanks. I live in Florida

Hi,
Below is the link to the tow hitch I have on my 2018 RX450HL !!! Even e-trailer doesn't know it fits even though I have told them. I would love to know if ANYONE can tell me where the 10 pin plug is on the HL.... its NOT the same as the H. I was assured by Lexus of Annapolis that it would NOT void my warranty . This is the hitch that their approved bodyshop uses.
