Whatever your task at hand -- whether it's launching that boat before daybreak, setting up your camper before the rush or getting a final load to the dump before close -- CURT class 3 trailer hitches offer the strength needed for serious towing. They make it easy to hitch up and Bring It, offering a vehicle-specific fit and the weight capacity to handle a variety of trailers. Custom class 3 hitches are the most common type of receiver hitch for pickup trucks and SUVs. Because of their weight range, they are also found on full-size cars, crossovers and minivans. Each custom-fit class 3 hitch package is made for vehicle-specific mounting. This particular kit fits certain years of the Lexus RX450h (see application info to verify vehicle compatibility). It provides a weight carrying capacity of 4,000 lbs. GTW and 600 lbs. TW. It is also compatible with a weight distribution hitch for level towing and a rating of 5,000 lbs. WD and 600 lbs. WDTW. CURT class 3 trailer hitches are typically used to attach and haul utility trailers, boat trailers, campers, snowmobile or ATV haulers and more (NOTE: Never exceed the lowest-rated towing component). Each class 3 hitch has a 2" receiver tube and is tested in accordance with SAE J684 for safety. To ensure that CURT class 3 receiver hitches have what it takes for serious trailering, they are designed using a hands-on approach and are constructed with rugged, high-strength steel and precise welding. We also protect our class 3 hitches in a co-cured finish of liquid A-coat and black powder coat for superior resistance to rust, chipping and UV damage.
Installation requires underbody panel trimming and tow loop removal
Trailer hitch weight ratings are limited to vehicle manufacturer's stated capacities
Not compatible for use with vertical hanging bicycles (bike racks that require the bicycles to be hung / mounted vertically)

The 2016-2020 Lexus RX450h Excluding F Sport CURT Class 3 Trailer Hitch, 2" Receiver + 2" Ball + 1-7/8" Ball Kit (Part #CHD-13282-001) Refer to the included instructions for installation details. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
Yes, CURT part number 13282 is designed for 2016-present Lexus RX450h SUVs. Verify your vehicle matches this year range and model before purchase.
The CURT 13282 supports two towing configurations: as a weight-carrying hitch, 4,000 lbs trailer weight and 600 lbs tongue weight; as a weight-distribution hitch, 5,000 lbs trailer weight and 600 lbs tongue weight. However, you must never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity, which may be lower than these ratings.
The hitch weight is 30 lbs.
Required tools are: ratchet, torque wrench, 9-inch socket extension, 10mm/17mm/19mm sockets, screwdriver, aviation shears, masking tape, tape measure, and safety glasses. Proper tools will improve installation quality and reduce installation time.
Yes. All 12mm fasteners must be torqued to 86 ft-lbs, which requires a torque wrench.
The hitch includes 6 HHCS M12x1.25 40CL10.9 YZ bolts (part number 10-10277) and 6 washers S-CON 1/2 YZ (part number 30-00149). These fasteners secure the hitch to the existing frame weldnuts.
No. The manual states 'no drilling required.' The hitch aligns with existing weldnuts in the frame.
Two people may be required to ease installation. The manual recommends reading all instructions thoroughly before beginning and notes that using proper tools will improve installation quality and reduce time required.
Professional installation time is approximately 60 minutes. Novice (DIY) installation time is approximately 39 minutes for the core steps, though total time including fascia trimming may be longer. Actual time depends on your experience level and familiarity with the vehicle.
The first step is to temporarily remove the lower fascia by removing 13 fasteners. This provides access to the frame rails and tow loops.
Using a 17mm socket, remove the tow loops from both the driver and passenger side frame rails. Also remove the existing hole plugs from the frame rails. Return the fasteners and plugs to the vehicle owner.
Raise the hitch into position by aligning it with the existing weldnuts in the frame. Secure the hitch with 12mm bolts and 1/2-inch conical toothed washers into the existing weldnuts. If the tow loop is being reinstalled, the hitch will be clamped between the tow loop and frame rail.
All 12mm fasteners must be torqued to 86 ft-lbs.
The lower fascia must be trimmed as needed to fit around the installed hitch. The manual provides a trim diagram showing reference measurements of 6.00 inches and 4.50 inches. Use aviation shears for trimming, and reinstall the fascia after trimming is complete.
Yes. The manual indicates that trimming of the lower fascia is required and shows specific trim measurements (6.00 inches and 4.50 inches). This is a permanent modification to the vehicle's fascia.
The installation notes mention 'weldnut cleaning' as part of the installation process. The manual does not specify the exact cleaning method or materials required. Contact CURT Technical Support at 877-287-8634 for detailed guidance on this step.
Safety glasses must be worn at all times while installing this product. Before beginning installation, read all instructions thoroughly. If you are hesitant to undertake this task on your own, contact an authorized CURT installer for additional assistance.
Never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity. While the CURT 13282 supports up to 4,000 lbs trailer weight and 600 lbs tongue weight as a weight-carrying hitch (or 5,000 lbs trailer weight and 600 lbs tongue weight as a weight-distribution hitch), your Lexus RX450h may have a lower manufacturer-recommended limit that must be observed.
Periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure all fasteners are tight and all structural components are sound. This ongoing inspection helps maintain the safety and integrity of the installation.
