A CURT trailer hitch is the key to pursuing your passions, whether you're taking the family boat out for an afternoon on the water or packing up the mountain bikes for a day on the trails. This CURT class 2 hitch is perfect for towing a small trailer, such as a boat trailer, lightweight camper or utility trailer. It can also be used to mount a hitch cargo carrier or bike rack (never exceed the lowest-rated towing component). Like all CURT custom hitches, this class 2 trailer hitch is made for a vehicle-specific fit. It is engineered to seamlessly integrate with select years of the Lexus LS430 (see application info to verify fitment). It is rated for 2,500 pounds gross trailer weight and 250 pounds tongue weight. It is also equipped with 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" hitch receiver to accept the included ball mount. The ball mount that comes with this hitch kit has a 3/4" trailer ball hole and can be positioned in the drop or rise orientation for level towing with your specific trailer (trailer ball not included). Like all CURT custom receiver hitches, this class 2 hitch is designed, manufactured, finished and tested with the utmost care. It is engineered for a precise fit, easy installation, maximum towing strength and an integrated look on the vehicle. It is also tested to SAE J684 protocols for safety. This class 2 trailer hitch is finished with our industry-leading dual-coat process for unparalleled rust, chip and UV resistance. It is descaled for a smooth surface, submersed in liquid A-coat for rust prevention inside and out, covered with a highly durable powder coat, and finally co-cured for a dependable shield against the elements. This class 2 hitch comes with a ball mount, hitch pin and mounting hardware for a complete installation.

The hitch includes 6 M12 - 1.25 x 40 hex bolts, 6 lock washers (1/2"), and 6 washers (7/16"). These fasteners are used to remount the exhaust muffler brackets at the bottom of the hitch brackets on both sides of the vehicle.

Position the hitch on the vehicle at these same mounting points. 4. Re-mount the brackets at the bottom of the hitch brackets on both sides using the fasteners provided with the hitch. 5.

The installation process involves temporarily removing the exhaust muffler brackets and repositioning them at the bottom of the hitch brackets.

The mufflers remain supported by their flexible supports and brackets, which are remounted as part of the hitch installation.
Periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure that all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound. The manual does not specify an exact interval, but regular inspection is recommended to maintain safe operation.
Do not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity. While the hitch has a gross load capacity of 2500 lbs trailer weight and 250 lbs tongue weight, your Lexus LS 430 may have a lower manufacturer-specified towing limit that must be observed.
