I recommend using the Curt Trailer Hitch # C11389 over the Draw-Tite # 24923 for your 2019 Lexus IS 350 because Curt hitches tend to have better welding and a thicker powder coat which contributes to a longer lasting trailer hitch. Attached are the written instructions as well as a sample photo of what this trailer hitch looks like installed for you to check out.
Most people who get a trailer installed on an IS 350 plan on using it for a bike rack. If this is you then I recommend using... view full answer...
It looks like the Lexus IS 350 is the same generation from the model year 2021 to 2022 so since the Curt Hitch # C11389 fits the 2021 model you shouldn't have any issues for the 2022 model either.
If you let me know what you plan on using the hitch for I'd be more than happy to make a recommendation for you! view full answer...
For a trailer hitch for your 2018 Lexus IS 350 I recommend the Draw Tite part # 24923 over the Curt # C11389 because it does not require using a stabilizer strap when a non-supported load like a bike rack.
For a bike rack I really like the Saris SuperClamp EX part # SA4025F.
This is a platform bike rack that only touches the bike at the tires and only weighs 35 lbs. The biggest drawback to platform bike racks has always been the weight of them, but with this rack you get the best of both... view full answer...
The Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 24923 which is a confirmed fit for your 2014 Lexus IS 350 will not require you to remove the exhaust for installation but you will need to lower it down and away from the hitch.
To do this there are 4 rubber isolators, 2 per side that hold the exhaust in place. To remove them you will first want to spay them down with a lubricant such as WD-40. Once the isolators have been lubricated you can take either an exhaust hanger removal tool... view full answer...
All of the hitches you referenced have about the same dimensions. We haven't had the chance to install any of them so while I can't give you the exact dimensions you are looking for I can help you determine it.
From the mounting surface of all of the hitches down to the bottom of the hitch opening the hitches measure 9-1/2 inches. If you measure from the frame of your vehicle down 9-1/2 inches that is where the hitch will sit. From that point you can measure to the ground and you will... view full answer...
The Swagman XTC-2, part # S64670 can handle wheels between 20 and 29 inches, so your bike will fit fine. The rack is limited to 2.5 inch wide wheels. view full answer...
Unfortunately, none of our hitch manufacturers offer a hitch fit for the 2010 Lexus IS 350 convertible.
If you were wanting to use the hitch to carry a bike rack, your best bet would be to use a trunk mounted bike rack like the Over-The-Top for 2 bikes, # HRF2 or for 3 bikes as part # HRF2-3.
I've linked to a product demonstration video for these Bike Racks. view full answer...
Both the Curt # C11389 and the Draw-Tite # 24923 for the 2019 Lexus IS350 are similar in appearance have similar installation procedures and share the same capacities. I'd personally choose the Curt model, because in my opinion the powder coat is a little more durable and the hitch is manufactured in the USA.
If you'll be using the hitch for towing, you'll also need a wiring harness like # 119250KIT, a ball mount like # C45521 and a trailer ball like # A-80 for a 1-7/8 inch ball or # A-82... view full answer...

I have an option for a roof rack but I checked with Rhino-Rack and the Rhino-Rack ROC25 item # RR73QJ will not fit your IS 350. It's too short and won't fit the door jams. There are also no flush mount options since your car doesn't have side rails. Instead you will want the roof rack by Rhino Rack and it includes the following parts:
Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 46" Long - Qty 2 item # RRVA118B-2

As you mentioned in your question, there are two trailer hitches available that are confirmed to fit your 2014 Lexus IS 350; the Draw-Tite # 24923 and the Curt # C11389. These are both Class I trailer hitches that will provide you with a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening and the same 2,000 pound towing and 200 pound tongue weight capacity. These two hitches are also extremely similar with regards to their physical design and where they will mount beneath your Lexus IS 350. There really is no... view full answer...
I checked with Thule and the Thule Gateway Pro 3 Bike Carrier # TH78VR that you referenced is confirmed to fit 2007 Lexus IS350. Check out the review video I attached.
If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Thule Bike Adapter Bar # TH982XT to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also. This will allow the bikes... view full answer...
For your 2016 Lexus IS350 I suggest the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Part # C11389. As for your 2017 Acura MDX the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Part # C13146 will be a great option.
Now for a platform style bike rack, I suggest the Thule Doubletrack Bike Rack for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches Part # TH990XT. This will fit both hitches on each of the vehicles. There is an adapter sleeve that will need to be removed when installing on your Lexus. It provides locking frame mount arms, and also has... view full answer...
We have many different trunk mounted bike racks that are a confirmed fit for your 2008 Lexus IS350. You can see them by clicking the provided link.
The Yakima HangOut 3, part # Y02638 you referenced is a fit for your vehicle, but you might also want to take a look at the Thule OutWay, part # TH56BV. Instead of using 6 straps to attach to the vehicle, the Raceway uses a much simpler 2 retractable cable arrangement that is much quicker and easier to use. This allows the rack to be installed... view full answer...
I do have an option for you but the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11047 is not a confirmed fit for your 2012 Lexus IS 350 convertible. Instead, you will want to use the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11372 which is a Class I hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver tube opening. I called my contact at Curt to confirm this as well.
If you can tell me what you will be using the hitch for I would be glad to offer some additional recommendations for you. view full answer...
I have a solution to allow you to carry a bike rack with your 2011 Lexus IS 350 but there are no hitch fits for your vehicle.
Instead you would want the Hollywood Racks Expedition part # HRF6-2 which is a confirmed fit for the convertible models. I attached a review video for this rack for you to check out as well.

I do have some information that will help us determine the ground clearance you can expect with the Curt Class I Trailer Hitch, # C11372, on your 2008 Lexus IS 350, however, we have not had the chance to install this hitch on that vehicle yet, so we do not have an exact measurement.
I can tell you that the overall height of this hitch is 9-3/4 inches (see photos). If you measure from the bottom of your vehicle frame rails, just above the muffler, 9-3/4 inches toward the ground, you will... view full answer...
Curt actually no longer requires the use of the stabilizer straps when carrying non-supported loads like bike racks with their hitches. That said the Draw Tite hitch part # 24923 that also fits your 2016 Lexus IS 350 does sit up a little higher so you would get slightly better ground clearance. view full answer...
For your 2019 Lexus IS 350 the hitch I recommend is the Curt part # C11389 as it is the easiest to install option we have and will do a great job carrying an e-bike rack for your heavier bike. I attached a picture of what the hitch will look like installed on a similar vehicle as well.
For a bike rack there's only one great option for carrying an e-bike in a lower capacity 1-1/4 inch hitch like the Curt I mentioned, but it's also the best option so it works out. The rack I recommend is... view full answer...
I have a similar bike rack that will work well for you, but the Dr. Tray part # Y02474 that you referenced will only fit Class II 1-1/4 inch trailer hitches and the Curt hitch part # C11372 is a Class I hitch.
Instead, check out the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack # KU74FR as it is a similar platform bike rack that hold your bikes by the wheels, is confirmed to fit your class I hitch, and can carry up to two 40 lb bikes.
This also has plenty of clearance to get past the rear bumper of the... view full answer...
