The current-generation RX hitch uses four factory weldnuts in the rear frame rails. No drilling or bumper trimming is required. Some configurations need the rear exhaust supported and lowered temporarily so the receiver can pass cleanly into position.

1. Preparing the Factory Mounting Points

We remove the four protective frame plugs and inspect the exposed weldnuts. Any coating or debris is cleared so the structural bolts can start smoothly by hand.

2. Supporting the Rear Exhaust When Required

If exhaust clearance is limited, the three rearmost isolators are released while the system is fully supported. This creates controlled working room without placing stress on the exhaust joints or hangers.

3. Raising and Centering the Receiver

The hitch is lifted between the frame rails and aligned with all four factory mounting points. The hardware is started loosely on both sides so the receiver can seat evenly before tightening.

4. Structural Torque and Exhaust Restoration

Once centered, every frame bolt is tightened in sequence and torqued to the manufacturer’s specification. Any lowered exhaust isolators are then reinstalled and checked for full engagement.

5. Clearance and Finished-Appearance Inspection

We check the receiver opening for level alignment and verify clearance around the bumper, exhaust, and heat shielding. The cross tube remains concealed, leaving only the receiver visible below the rear fascia.
