How to Select a Trailer Hitch
Match hitch class to the door sticker and the live card before you shop a heavier trailer than the vehicle can honestly tow.
Watch on YouTubeShopping a trailer hitch for a Lexus NX Hybrid in Canada? Start with the door-sticker year on this compact crossover, then open CURT 13337. That Class 3 hitch uses a two inch receiver for listed NX Hybrid and NX300h years on the live card, including the two thousand fifteen through two thousand twenty-one hybrid window the fitment list spells out. CURT 12172 and CURT 12143 remain useful Class 2 one and one quarter inch options for narrower year slices. Confirm ratings on the live product card. Canada orders often ship free on qualifying baskets, so confirm the cart note before you check out.
All four videos are from the official CURT YouTube channel (@curtmfg). Use them for class selection, install habits, wiring basics, and ball-mount height before you dig into the product cards below.

Watch on YouTubeCURT 13337 is a Class 3 hitch with a two inch receiver path that names listed Lexus NX Hybrid and NX300h years on the live card, including the hybrid landers we link below. The same sheet also covers listed gas NX200t and NX300 years in the first-gen window. Read the fitment line carefully so you do not cart a two thousand twenty-two and newer NX hitch that is not on this shelf yet.
Class 3 hardware suits everyday bumper-pull trailers when the Lexus sticker and the live hitch card both agree. The live title rates the hitch for three thousand five hundred pounds gross trailer weight and five hundred twenty-five pounds tongue weight, with weight-distribution notes on the card when that setup fits. Your door sticker still sets the ceiling. CURT 12172 is a Class 2 one and one quarter inch path that still names hybrid years in a narrower slice, and CURT 12143 covers an early hybrid window on its own card. For lights, CURT 56268 is a four-flat custom harness window for listed NX and NX Hybrid years on the live harness card. Confirm the harness still lists your hybrid year before you order lights, then clean the ground and pretest lamps.

Always confirm the live hitch card still lists your hybrid year before you order. Gas NX titles can appear nearby on the same sheet without changing your door sticker. Two thousand twenty-two and newer NX generations stay a separate shopping trip when this shelf does not list them.
Match pins, covers, and ball mounts to the tube size on the hitch card you actually order. Two inch Class 3 inserts will not seat in a Class 2 one and one quarter inch receiver.
