Hitch Integration
#16
I was told that the activity mount is specifically NOT for towing anything. It is only for mounting a bike rack, etc. I am supposed to be getting one installed on my 350H with Lux Package that is supposed to be arriving end of Feb - early March. (I was not able to negotiate any reduction in MSRP but I was able to get the dealer to "throw this in" at no extra cost. I am pretty sure it is dealer installed.)

available now is the activity mount, that is not to be used for towing. Supposedly, coming in the spring, will be an actual tow hitch.

Yes, you can't tow anything with the activity mount. It's strictly for bike racks. If you want to tow, you'd need to get the other option which I don't think is available yet. That I'm sure will cost more, but will give you the ability to tow something small and will allow for an electrical hook up for lights.

Had the activity mount installed on my NX 350 H and then tried to use my very generic bike rack (I have had it for years, I believe it is a standard 2” bike rack) and to my surprise, it doesn’t fit.
the opening of the activity mount is less than 2” opening. I thought that 2” was pretty standard?

I'm in the same situation. that activity mount is a class 2 type which is 1-1/4-in and you need to buy an adapter in order to use your 2-in bike rack. see the link https://www.lowes.ca/product/trailer...-adapter-85621

I asked an advisor this morning while waiting for the car to be served but unfortunately still no ETA for the tow hitch yet. it seems the design didn't pass the safety test so they need a bit more time to improve it.

This from my local Lexus Dealer:
"The tow hitch cost $1,100, also the tow hitch not going to be available until July or end of August."
Side note: I was able to negotiate the trade of one dealer add-on that I didn't want for the tow hitch if I do it through them. Helped me feel good about the deal.
