  • Will Installing Hitch on 2019 Lexus NX 300 Cause Hands-Free Liftgate to Unintentionally Open
  • I've checked with my Curt representative regarding your concern. I'm told that there's zero recorded instances of any hitch install causing the rear hatch of a 2019 Lexus NX 300 (or any other vehicle, for that matter) to open unintentionally without movement picked up by the sensors. If you'll be towing with the hitch, you'll also need a trailer wiring harness like # 118652, a ball mount like # D-28 along with a # PC3 hitch pin and a trailer ball like # 19260 for a 1-7/8 or # 63845 for...

  • Easy to Install/Remove Bike Rack for a 2017 Lexus NX
  • We have a few options for your 2017 Lexus NX (300h or Turbo) but when it comes to something that's easy to install and remove I recommend going with a hitch mount bike rack. There are some trunk mount options like the Saris Bones EX # SAR83FR but you have to install it each time you go to use it and it will be a little trickier to install than a hitch mount rack. If you don't already have a trailer hitch I recommend picking up the etrailer # e89AR because it has a matte black finish that...

  • Will Curt Trailer Hitch Fit F Sport Model of the 2020 Lexus NX 300
  • Curt has listed the Trailer Hitch # C12172 as a fit for all models of the 2020 Lexus NX 300 so it will definitely fit your F Sport model. When I was comparing some pictures of the F Sport it looks like the rear bumper has the same dimensions as the 2020 Lexus NX 300 Base with the main difference being that the lower part of the bumper has a chrome-like finish instead of the black finish. Attached is an installation video of this trailer hitch on a '19 NX 300 along with some pictures so...

  • Will Trailer Hitch Interfere With Liftgate Foot Sensors on 2018 NX 300
  • With the Curt trailer hitch # C13337 installed on your 2018 Lexus NX 300 there may be some interference with the liftgate foot sensors, but you will still be able to use them. You will simply need to move your foot to the left or right of the receiver portion of the hitch in order to activate the sensors. I've added a photo for you so you can see how this hitch will look when installed on your Lexus.

  • Will the Curt Hitch C13337 Mess With the Lift Gate Sensor on a Lexus NX300h 2021
  • As the Curt hitch # C13337 will install in the same place as the lift gate kick sensor, it will limit its usability to either side of the receiver tube. This will end up happening with pretty much all hitches installed on vehicle with this sensor. However, it does not mean it will no longer work, but you will just need to find the sweet spot where it is easy to get to again.

  • Highest Capacity Trailer Hitch for 2020 Lexus NX 300
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13337 is the highest capacity trailer hitch available for a 2020 Lexus NX 300. It's rated at 3,500 lbs gross trailer weight and 525 lb tongue weight. That said, trailer hitches are tested separately of the vehicle so if that's lower it's the figure you'll need to abide by. The vehicles capacities are best found in your copy of the owner's manual.

  • Will Curt Class II C12172 Hitch Interfere with Hands-Free Liftgate Feature on 2020 Lexus NX 300
  • We haven't had any reports regarding the hands-free liftgate not working on a 2020 Lexus NX 300 once the Curt # C12172 hitch was installed. If there will be any interference, it'll be right where the receiver tube is located. If you try waving your foot in the area a few inches right of left of the receiver opening, the sensors will pick up the movement of your foot and the hatch will open for you. Then for a wiring harness you'll need the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole...

  • Will Installing a Trailer Hitch Interfere with Hand-Free Hatch on 2018 Lexus NX 300
  • We have yet to have any complaints about Curt trailer hitch # C12172 interfering with the hands-free hatch on your 2018 Lexus NX 300. I can tell you that on other vehicles that have a similar feature a trailer hitch can sometimes limit the areas in which the sensors operate so you may have to kick your foot out in a different location than you normally would.

  • Will Curt Trailer Hitch Fit F Sport Model of 2018 Lexus NX 300
  • Yes, the Curt Trailer Hitch # C12172 will fit your 2018 Lexus NX 300 with the F Sport package. If you don't already have the trailer hitch then I actually recommend going with the Curt # C13337 instead because it has a 2" hitch receiver that will be compatible with a wider variety of accessories. I have attached an installation video that you can check out. These are the only 2 hitches available for your Lexus NX 300 so there isn't anything with the hidden crosstube like what you're referring...
