Confirming the referral code still works as of 2-27-16. Total with free shipping $136.75.
Looks like they confirmed that C13272 Receiver will work on F-Sport models.

Hitch Installation
For those that have installed the Curt hitch, how did you handle the wiring
and where did you tap into the lights. Did you have to use an electronic
adapter. I plan to put the hitch on myself but wasn't quite sure of the
best way to go about the wiring.
Thanks.

Just installed on my F Sport
Key pointers
- must have another person or jack to hold hitch into place
- box staples are sharp, so watch out!
- total install time was less than 15 mins
- I put grease on the screws

i would never use grease on bolts. It will lubricates the treads and give you a wrong torque causing the bolts to snap (break) under load. it could also promote faster loosening.

I have a 2016 RX 350 base model. Just installed this hitch:
Draw-TiteŽ 75540 - Class 3 / 4 Max-Frame Trailer Hitch with 2" Receiver Opening (4500/675 Weight Capacity)
$ 135.20 from CARiD ( includes the shipping charge). Very easy to install. Just four bolts. Had a little difficulty, lying on the garage floor, with the getting the first bolt in while holding the hitch up, but it was a piece of cake with the other three bolts. ( I seem to have lost a bit at 78.)

Hey, the dealer is telling me that if they install a hitch they need to remove a shroud to put the hitch on and they can't reinstall it. I didn't see any comments about removing a shroud in this thread. Is this something I can do without?
