Default Good place to buy OEM Lexus accessories/parts

Hello,

Looking to buy a Tow Hitch (Lexus one) on line somewhere.
Any recommendations on shops out there?

Also, has anyone installed the Lexus one by themselves?
Is it difficult?

I did a step by step write up on this a WHILE back.
Depending on your Model year and options when you bought it ... the electrical solution will be different. If you need to carry bikes etc go without the electrical connector.

Don't get too hung up on having a "Lexus" one. If you want, you can put a Lexus cap on it. I have a Draw-tite, without electronics. This model is custom designed for the RX300 (and I think fits the Toyota Highlander as well). No adjustment screws or sliders on it, just one solid piece.

It was very easy to install. It cost less than $150. It replaces the two shipping hooks in the back and uses the holes that they screw into, plus one more that has a plug in it. There was no drilling required and it took less than 30 minutes to install. On a difficulty scale of 1 to 10, 10 being most difficult, it was about a 2-1/2. It would be a 1, except for the weight, and it's a little difficult to get to that front bolt on the muffler side. If you have a 330, it might be easier, since the muffler is smaller.

I have installed this on two Lexus RX300's, a 2000, and its replacement, a 2003. Very easy.
