For heavier e-bikes like yours there are two frontrunners for bike racks to consider with the Thule EasyFold XT part # TH903202 and the Yakima OnRamp part # Y36FR. What sets these apart from others is they both have ramps to make loading and unloading bikes easier since e-bikes are heavy.
The EasyFold folds down into a smaller size when not in use which helps for garage storage but the OnRamp is 6 lbs lighter at 39 lbs compared to 45. That's how I'd pick if I were you. Which would you... view full answer...
Both the Firestone Level Command II with Standard Duty Compressor part # F2158 and the Firestone Level Command II with Heavy Duty Compressor part # F2219 would technically work with the Firestone Air Bag Kit part # F2535 that you have installed on your vehicle.
The biggest difference is that the heavy duty compressor will inflate much quicker. view full answer...
The Thule Apex 4 Bike Rack for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches has been discontinued by the manufacturer. The most similar option that I recommend as an alternative is the Yakima RidgeBack 4 Bike Rack - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Tilting # Y02458. The tilting racks do bring the outermost bike too close to the ground when tilting, so it is not recommended to tilt with bikes in place. If that is a concern you may want to go with the swing away model which will keep the bikes vertical and loaded. I've... view full answer...
The best snow tire chains for your vehicle with 235/55R19 tires are the Konig Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chains # TH01594250.
There a few reasons why these are the best chains, starting with how easy they are to install, which is important because the less time you have to spend out in the cold winter weather (and potentially on the side of the road), the better. To install the Konig chains, drape them around your tires and loop the cables together; you only need to drive off and they... view full answer...
The main difference between the Swagman XTC-2 2-bike platform rack # S64670 and the Trailhead 2-bike hanging rack # S63360 is the way the bikes load. With a platform rack you don't have to lift the bikes as high up to load them.
The other main difference is that the XTC-2 gives you a few more inches of rack clearance from the hitch pin hole, 15-inches instead of 11-inches for the Trailhead.
Both racks fit Class 1, 2 and 3 hitches and have 3-inches of rise in the shank for increased ground... view full answer...
For your 2017 Lexus NX, the best bike rack for you is going to depend on the type of bikes you have and how often you plan to carry them. Both the Kuat Transfer 2 part # KU74FR and the Yakima HoldUp 2 part # Y02443 are excellent bike racks that will work well for you.
However, I recommend the Yakima HoldUp as it has a bit more features that will work with your bikes and vehicle better than the Kuat Transfer will. For starters, the HoldUp can carry bikes weighing up to 60 lbs each whereas... view full answer...
The three hitch options for your 2007 Lexus RX 350 - etrailer # e98857, Curt # 13530 and Draw-Tite # 75153 - all share identical capacities and will install in the same way. All include the mounting hardware.
From these choices my preference is the etrailer model # E98857 you referenced. I like this one because it is USA-made and has a subtle matte finish powder coat rather than a high gloss finish, so it will not distract as much from the car's own appearance. Please check out the photo... view full answer...
Both Curt hitches that fit your 2018 Lexus NX 300, the 1-1/4-inch Class II # C12172 and the 2-inch Class III # C13337, use common mounting points on the vehicle's frame.
So as far as the installed appearance goes, there will not be very much difference between the two. Both hitches' cross tubes are visible. To my eye neither offers a compelling cosmetic advantage over the other so I still recommend the 2-inch model # C13337 shown in the linked photo and installation video.
These differ... view full answer...
Both the Draw-Tite # 36336 and the Curt # C12339 will essentially have the same ground clearance. When we installed the Curt option on a 2005 Toyota Camry we found the distance from the ground to the top of the inside of the receiver opening to measure 11-1/2". When we installed the Draw-Tite option on a 2006 Camry we found that same measurement to be 11-3/4". This difference could very well have to do with differences in the tire inflation or cargo in the rear of the vehicle as well so... view full answer...
The Swagman XTC4 4-Bike Rack # S64665 and Hollywood Racks Destination 4-Bike Rack # HR4000 are two of the best values in regards to 4-bike racks, and when taking everything into consideration I highly recommend the Destination # HR4000.
There are a number of reasons for this, starting with the fact that the Destination is going to be easier to load your bikes on because of its large and curved wheel trays compared to the hoops of the XTC-4 that make you plop the bikes in just right. The... view full answer...
The definitive way to determine if your 2010 Lexus RX 350 has a factory tow package would be to have a Lexus dealer run the VIN number. They will be able to tell you what options the vehicle has.
You could also test the factory connection point for # 56083 or # 118252, see instructions, to see if there is power to the factory plug. However, it may show that it works because it is not under load (a trailer connected). But under load, if you do not have the complete tow package and use #... view full answer...
Both the Curt # C56268 and T-One # 118652 wiring harness are designed to work with your 2017 Lexus NX Turbo.
The difference between the two harnesses is that the T-One maximum amperage draw is 2.1 amps for stop/turn lights and 7.5 amps for tail lights. For the Curt harness the maximum amperage draw is 3.0 for stop/turn lights and 6.0 for tail lights. view full answer...
There is not a Class IV trailer hitch for the 2018 Lexus GX 460. Curt and Draw-Tite only make the Class III.
I recommend the Curt, part # C13043. It has a gross tongue weight of 500 pounds and a max towing capacity of 5000 pounds.
I've linked to a video installation of this hitch for you to look at. view full answer...
Since the Inno roof rack (parts hyperlinked below) can be mounted at varying locations on the flush rails of your 2018 Lexus GX 460 I recommend going with that system. It has a lower weight capacity at 140 lbs (as opposed to 165 lbs from Yakima) but in my experience most people don't plan on max-ing out the weight capacity of their roof rack so the benefit of adjustability will out-weigh (no pun intended) the higher weight capacity of the Yakima system.
Here are the parts for the Inno... view full answer...
Both the etrailer # e98874 and Curt # C18152 2-inch hitch cargo carriers will fit the 2-inch Class III hitch on your 2015 Lexus GX 460. Both feature steel construction and a 500-lb capacity but they differ in a few respects.
The etrailer offers 9-1/2-inches of clearance from the hitch pin hole when it is folded up in the storage position while the Curt # C18152 does not fold. You can simply measure from your hitch pin hole to the rear-most part of the car to determine how much clearance... view full answer...
I can help compare the # C55245 and the # 118245.
These two wiring harnesses are designed to do the same job for wiring up your 2001 Lexus LX-470 the only real difference is the manufacture that they are distributed from. The # 118245 is designed and distributed by Tow Ready a company owned by Cequent Manufacturing and the # C55245 is designed and distributed by Curt Manufacturing.
Both harnesses plug in the same way and provide a 4 pole connector for your vehicle end. For your vehicle... view full answer...
Realistically there is only one cargo carrier we can recommend for your 2012 Lexus RX 450h to give you the ability to fully open the rear door of your vehicle with the carrier installed. For that you would need the Yakima carrier part # Y62VR which will fit the hitch of your vehicle and then allow you to open the rear door once the carrier has swung out and away.

I do not have a drawing of the Trailair Flex Air 5th Wheel Pin Box, part # LC328492 showing dimensions but I can help you with the dimensions.
The pin box you came from would have the same dimensions as a Lippert 1621 pin box. The distance from the rear mounting holes to the center of the king pin should be 25-5/8 inches. That would also be the distance for a replacement pin box like part # LC328492.

The least noticeable hitch for your 2017 Lexus RX 350 would be the Stealth Hitch # 391LXRX16T if you ever plan on towing or the # 391LXRX16 if you only intend on using it for hitch-mounted racks and carriers. This completely hidden hitch keeps your Lexus RX 350 looking like it just came off the assembly line. Remove the receiver for a fully concealed look when not in use.
And for trailer wiring you can use Tekonsha harness # 118255 to add a 4-Way flat connector to the rear of the vehicle.... view full answer...
While both of these racks are great options, the Kuat NV 2.0 # NV22B-NA22B does not provide the weight capacity you need for your 60-pound e-bike when 4 bikes are loaded. This is because the weight capacity reduces to 50 pounds per bike with 3 bikes and 40 pounds per bike for 4 bikes.
For this reason, I strongly recommend going with the Saris SuperClamp EX Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches # SA4026F. Not only will you receive the weight capacity you need when your e-bike is mounted in... view full answer...
