Expert Answers about Lexus CT 200h


  • 50mm Trailer Hitch Ball for European Style Bike Rack
  • Based on some quick research it appears your Atera Stada DL is a fit for a 50mm hitch ball more common in Europe. We do have the Brophy 50mm Hitch Ball - 1" Diameter x 2-1/8" Long Shank - Chrome - 8K # EH53C-C. The 50mm hitch ball is 1.9685 inches so it is between the 2 inch ball and the 1-7/8 inch size so that is most likely your fit issue.

  • Will Clamps of Inno Aero Bar Roof Rack Scratch Paint on Vehicle Roof

  • Recommended Class I Hitch and Bike Rack for 2015 Lexus CT 200h Hybrid Liftback
  • I checked with Curt about the proper hitch fit for your 2015 Lexus CT 200h Hybrid Liftback and their 1-1/4-inch Class I hitch # C11200 is a confirmed fit. Your hybrid is definitely going to have visible differences from the non-hybrid CT200, so this is not cause for concern. Do note that when this hitch is installed on your car the tow hooks will be permanently removed. Curt rates this hitch as an easy installation. All the necessary hardware is included and I have linked the written instructions...

  • Trunk Mount Bike Carrier for 1,200 Mile Trip for a 2012 Lexus CT 200h
  • Thule has tested the OutWay trunk mount bike carrier # TH45JV on a 2012 Lexus CT 200h. Probably not for 1200 miles but enough to determine that it fits safely. This is a good road trip bike carrier. It features anti-sway cradles, passive security strap, and an integrated cable lock in the last bike position. The 2-strap design will keep the carrier secure to the vehicle and the anti-sway cradles will reduce bike movement. It is the easiest rack to install and remove. It is an excellent...

  • Curt Trailer Hitch, # C11200, is a confirmed fit for the 2013 Lexus CT200h. You will want to check the owner's manual for your specific vehicle before adding a trailer hitch and any accessories.

  • Troubleshooting Bike Mount Issues on the Kuat Beta Bike Rack on a 2011 Lexus CT 200h
  • I think I have a solution to your problem. I would recommend you use a bike adapter bar like the Thule Bike Adapter Bar for Womens and Alternative Bike Frames, part # TH982XT. A bike adapter bar is specifically designed to help you carry bikes that have odd or smaller shaped frames safely on a bike rack. The adapter bar will attach to your bikes seat post and the handle bar post. I have attached a video showing how this adapter bar works for you to check out.

  • Can Sunroof Be Opened on 2012 Lexus CT 200h with Rhino-Rack Roof Rack
  • If your 2012 Lexus CT 200h has the kind of sunroof that goes into a cavity inside the roof and no part of it sticks up, then it will not interfere with a roof rack like Rhino-Rack Roof Rack System with Vortex Aero Crossbars, # RRVA118B-2, # RRRLKVA, # DK394, which you referenced. If it slides up and back it is more likely to interfere with the sunroof. I don't recommend opening the sunroof with a roof rack installed or with anything loaded on it. Even though the bars are aerodynamic it...

  • Is There a Way to Bring the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 Closer to the Bumper when Folded Up?
  • The Kuat Sherpa 2.0 # SH12P is a great bike rack, however there is no way to adjust the rack to fold up closer to your bumper. The only solution would be to use a different hitch that doesn't stick out as far from your vehicle frame, but the only hitch we have available for your 2018 Lexus CT 200h is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11200. When installed, this hitch should measure about 4" from the center of the hitch pin hole to the rear-most part of your bumper. Otherwise, you would...

  • Bike Rack & Hitch Recommendations For 2014 Lexus CT 200H
  • We do carry a hitch and bike rack that is designed to fit your vehicle, however it only comes with a 1-1/4" receiver. Many of the frames of smaller sedans, such as your 2014 Lexus CT 200H, and other compact vehicles just aren't designed to withstand the heavier duty use of a Class II or Class III trailer hitch (which would come with a 2" receiver standard). The trailer hitch we carry for your CT 200H is the Curt Class I - 1-1/4" # C11200. It's recommended to use a bike rack that was specifically...

  • Parts Needed To Be Able To Tow a Trailer With a 2013 Lexus CT 200h
  • While we do carry all the components that you will need to be able to tow a trailer with your 2013 Lexus CT 200h it is not recommended for trailer towing by Lexus. That said you are likely past any manufacturer warranties that would be voided so the decision is yours to make. You will need the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11200 to attach either the 1-7/8" # C45571 or 2" # C45572 Curt Euro Style Drawbar. You will need to match the ball size to the coupler on the trailer. You will need...

  • Installation of Hopkins Custom Trailer Wiring Harness for 2015 Lexus CT200h
  • If you don't feel comfortable doing this yourself, we recommend taking it to any mechanic you trust. This is not a specialized installation, so you can take it to any shop to have the product installed. We don't have installers we specifically refer to, so having a person or company you trust do the work is my recommendation.
