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 YouTubeLexus RX450h Trailer Hitch Buyer's Guide (Canada)
Shopping a trailer hitch for a Lexus RX450h in Canada? Start with the door-sticker year on this hybrid crossover, then open CURT 13282. That Class 3 hitch uses a two inch receiver for listed two thousand sixteen through two thousand twenty RX450h years on the live card. Gas RX models and later RX generations may sit on different sheets, so keep the main Lexus RX guide handy when 13282 does not name your year. Confirm ratings on each live product card. Canada orders often ship free on qualifying baskets, so confirm the cart note before you check out.
Parts-counter shortcut.
Confirm RX450h on the badge, open live CURT 13282, then use the main RX guide when your year sits outside this hybrid sheet.

Watch these CURT videos first
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.
If an embed does not load, use the YouTube link under the card. RX450h shoppers usually land on Class 3 two inch hardware for listed years.
Trailer Hitch Installation Techniques
Confirm the live card still lists your year and configuration. Shared sheets are easy to mix up when sibling badges sit nearby.

Watch on YouTubeThe live hitch path for listed RX450h years
CURT 13282 is a Class 3 hitch with a two inch receiver path that names listed Lexus RX450h years on the live card, including the two thousand sixteen, two thousand eighteen, two thousand nineteen, and two thousand twenty landers we link below. The hybrid sheet is the honest path when RX450h is on the hatch. Broader RX shopping still lives on the main Lexus RX guide when your badge is a gas RX350 or a later RX generation outside this card.
These hybrids usually tow light utility trailers, bike racks, and cargo trays when the Lexus sticker agrees. Confirm gross and tongue ratings on the live 13282 card before you shop a heavier trailer. Plan lights on a harness that matches your year on its own live title, clean the ground, and pretest lamps before a night run.
