Most likely it is. I dont see any reason why not actually.

Stainless steel hitch is a must at this point because I believe all their hitches are stainless steel?!

Default Our hitch

Our dealer installed a complete package. There is a replacement center piece and wiring package. All options still work. We don’t tow but mount a mobility scooter carrier.

I don't understand the photo from the rear - you have two receivers on the car, one in the middle and another one offset to the left?

I will have to get my wife to take the photos. This is a 350 pound tongue weight hitch.

I haven't seen any RX350h coming in that have the towing package on them in the US. Did anyone buy a 2023 RX350h with the towing package? It doesn't seem Toyota wants drivers to tow anything or they don't have the parts to add that option at the factory right now. I don't tow often but I would like to have the option for a bike rack or hitch mounted carrier like this.

Our dealer did the install. We don’t have the cooking and stuff that is in the package. I just haul my mobility scooter.

The hard part was figuring out what sensors to turn off. Seems they don’t stay off and have to redo every time we start the car, a real pain.
