- Bike Rack Options for 2016 Lexus NX 200t That Are Not Hitch Mounted
- I have a solution for you, but there are not any 2 bike racks that mount to the rear of your 2016 Lexus NX 200t. There is only one option for trunk mounted bike racks for your 200t and that is the Saris Bones EX 3 # SA803 .
Saris is the pioneer of trunk mounted bike racks in this country and they make some of the most high quality trunk mounted racks on the market- the Bones EX 3 is no exception. The design of the arms makes it so that the bikes are separated to different levels in order...
view full answer... - Finding a Trailer Hitch for 2017 Lexus NX 200t
- I see where the confusion lies. Our site lists both the 2017 Lexus NX 200t and the 2017 Lexus NX Turbo. These are different ways of referring to the same SUV.
As such, the hitch found on many of our Q and A pages, product # 75956, will indeed fit your vehicle. It is a Class III 2-inch hitch from Draw-Tite. There are installation videos for the 2015 and 2016 models on the product page, which I will also link here, that may prove useful to you if you choose this option.
There is also a...

- When you put the Helium Pro # TH44VR in the hitch, get the pin in place then tilt it right to left as you tighten the hand knob at the bottom. It seems like you don't have the knob tightened down all the way. You can see what I mean in the video I've included for you. Right at the beginning of the video I do exactly this and it does not learn like yours is. I've used this on many many vehicles in the past and never had this issue when it was secured properly.
If this doesn't solve the...

- Unfortunately, we have not had the chance to get any photos or a video of the Curt Class II # C12143 on a 2016 Lexus NX 200t as of yet. I did grab a couple of images from the install details that I've attached. The install details are attached as well.
This hitch is confirmed to fit your Lexus.
If you're going to be towing you'll also need trailer wiring. The Curt Wiring Harness # C56268 will provide you with a 4-way trailer connector. This will power a trailer's running, brake, and...
view full answer... - Installation Process for 4-Pole Trailer Wiring Harnesses C56268 and 118652 on 2016 Lexus NX 200t
- For the 2016 Lexus NX 200t F-Sport both of the aftermarket 4-pole wiring harness kits we offer, Curt # C56268 and Tekonsha # 118652, use a separate 12V power wire that will be run to the battery and connect through an included fuse holder. This separate power connection delivers the actual current to operate trailer lights, bypassing the vehicles internal wiring. This isolates the car's wiring from any potential damage from short-circuits on the trailer.
Apart from this one power wire...
view full answer... - Which Bike Rack Can Be Folded Up And Will Not Make Contact With The 2016 nx200t
- The Thule T2 Pro XTR # TH69TX for 4 bikes or the # TH83JV measures 5" from the hitch pin hole when folded up. Since you measured 5-6" from the hitch pin hole to the rear of your bumper, this bike rack will not be able to fold up when installed on your 2016 Lexus NX 200t. The Saris SuperClamp EX 4 Bike Platform Rack - 2" Hitches # SA4026F measures 5-1/4" from the hitch pin hole when folded, so this may not be a great option either.

view full answer... - Will The Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver Work With The Swagman XTC2 Bike Rack 2015 Lexus NX 200t?
- Yes, the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75956 and Swagman XTC2 TILT Bike Rack # S64671 are compatible and good options for your 2015 Lexus NX 200t. Do note this bike rack is only capable of hauling 2 bikes up to 35lbs each with a maximum tire width of 2-1/2". If you have the wider tires on your mountain bike you will need the larger Hoops # S64674 for each bike to fit fat tires up to 5" wide.
I do recommend installing the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56268...

- I do have a 3 bike trunk mount rack for your 2017 Lexus NX 200t, but the Yakima HangOut unfortunately won't fit.
Instead you can use the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top # HRF2-3 which carries 3 bikes (up to 35 lbs each) and it specially designed to avoid making contact with the spoiler on your vehicle. I've attached a review video for you to check out.
Some additional things you might consider using alongside this includes the Thule Passive Security Strap # TH533, the Cable Lock # e98891,...
view full answer... - Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2015 Lexus NX 200t
- Right now the only solution I can offer you for transporting 2 bike with your 2015 Lexus NX 200t would be a hitch mounted solution since none of our bike racks have any trunk mounted racks confirmed to fit your vehicle.
For a brand new vehicle I would much rather recommend a hitch option since it would not contact any painted surfaces on the vehicle. The Curt hitch part # C13337 has been confirmed to fit your vehicle and would do a great job carrying a bike rack.

view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Receiver and Bike Rack to Fit a 2016 Lexus NX 200t
- Trailer hitch receivers are custom designed to fit specific vehicles. For your 2016 Lexus NX 200t I recommend the Draw-Tite # 75956. It's made to fit your Lexus and bolts right on without any drilling. I've also linked the install details for you.
I've linked our most popular bike racks for your Lexus for you. My top choice is the Saris Freedom, part # SA4412B. It's a platform rack for two bikes up to 60 pounds each. It's also lighter than most platfrom racks at only 22-1/2 pounds....

- The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 118652 is a confirmed fit for your 2016 Lexus NX 200t. This harness actually installs inline with the factory taillight wiring harness so there will not be any sort of unused plug if that was what you were looking for. In order to access the factory taillight wiring harness you need to remove a few trim panels. I have then attached a photo that shows where the factory taillight wiring harness is located.
Unfortunately, we have not yet had the chance...

- I checked with Draw-Tite and Curt, and each of the trailer hitches available for your 2015 Lexus NX200t, the Draw-Tite # 75956, Curt # C13337 and Curt # C12143 will fit your F-Sport model.
Though none of these hitches are going to be hidden, I recommend the Draw-Tite # 75956. If you take a look at the accompanying photo from one of our customers, you can see this hitch installed on a F-Sport model and how it looks. This is a Class III hitch with a 2" receiver, maximum tongue weight capacity...
view full answer... - Thule Bike Rack Recommendation for Carrying Fat Bike and Mountain Bike with 27.5 in Wheel
- The Thule T2 XTR bike rack part # TH83JV that you referenced would work for both of the bikes you mentioned as it can fit wheel diameters up to 29 inches and tires that are up to 5 inches in width. This would be a great option that I recommend highly. It will only touch the bikes at the tires and is very easy to use. The T2 bike racks are considered by most to be the nicest platform bike racks around. Check out the review video I attached for more info as well.

- Actually the two hitches are almost the same. The # C13214 is getting replaced by the part # C13337.
There is a subtle difference with the front part of the mounting brackets (rear-most on vehicle) likely so that they can extend the vehicle year range it fits.
view full answer... - 2017 Lexus NX 200T Roof Rack and Bike Rack Recommendation
- For your 2017 Lexus NX 200T with flush roof rails I'd recommend the Thule WingBar Evo roof rack 118 # TH711220, the podium foot pack part # TH460R, and the fit kit # THKIT4060 for a roof rack to start as this installs easily without permanent modification and has bars that are aerodynamically shaped which means you'll have minimal wind noise.
Then for a bike rack the Thule UpRide part # TH599000-FB would be a great choice to allow you to keep the front wheel attached.

view full answer... - Will a Trailer Hitch Receiver for a 2018 Lexus NX300 F Sport Work with the Kick Sensor
- For your 2018 Lexus NX300 F Sport, you will want to use the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13337, not the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 75956 which is designed for a NX 200t and will not fit a NX300. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver is currently the only option we have for you. The kick sensor to open the rear hatch will still work, you just need to position your foot to either side of the receiver tube opening. This is the case for most vehicles equipped with this...

- So long as you have flush side rails on your 2017 Lexus NX 200t then I do have options for you to carry both your three snowboards and a pair of skis.
For the roof rack, I recommend using the Yakima JetStream Crossbar System which is composed of part # Y00426, part # Y64AR, and part # Y59AR. The JetStream system has aero crossbars for reduced wind noise and integrated channels for use with channel mounted accessories.
For a roof rack mounted ski carrier, I recommend the Yakima FatCat...

view full answer... - Will Rhino-Rack Universal Side Loader Kayak Load Assist Fit Factory Crossbars on 2015 Lexus NX 200t
- The Rhino-Rack Universal Load Assist # RR-RUSL comes with several clamps to fit various crossbars but Rhino-Rack does not call out any factory crossbars specifically. Basically you would compare the clamps in the picture I have included to the crossbars on your 2015 Lexus NX 200t as well as the linked instructions to determine if any are a match for the shape of the factory crossbars. I am confident that at least one of the designs will fit with little to no modification required.
