You have to route your wiring harness to the end of the receiver where you want it, and secure in place with plastic wire ties. I bought a receiver cover that has a place to store the end of the harness.

Thanks to all for quick replies. Is the connector the same on the Lexus hitch?

I can't honestly say that I have seen the Lexus wiring harness, but I would think that it would be the same in order to fit most trailer connections.

I meant to say the is the mounting of the harness the same? Does the wire just hang there? I like the way you did it but i assume it is something you bought separately.

My RX comes with the Towing Prep Package so the wiring harness is tucked in at the rear left of the driver side just behind the bumper and is ready to be connected to the Curt 56083 T-Connector . You have to buy this item separately. Then you can route your wiring harness to the end of the receiver where you want it and secure it in place with plastic wire ties.
