Expert Answers about Lexus ES 350


  • Do the Yakima HD Bars Fit A 2015 Lexus ES 350 With A Glass Sunroof?
  • I went ahead and spoke with Yakima and they said that you actually can use the Yakima HD Crossbars # Y01156 with the BaseLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars # Y28TR, the HD Bar SL Adapter for Yakima BaseLine, SkyLine, TimberLine, and RidgeLine Towers # Y03541 and the fit kits # Y06175 & # Y06160 with your 2015 Lexus ES 350 that has a glass roof. We list this as a "non-fit" due to the fact that you could potentially damage your sunroof while this system is installed, but it'll physically fit...

  • Will Trailer Wiring Harness 118488 for a 2007 Lexus ES 350 Work with LED Trailer Lights
  • Yes. Trailer wiring harness # 118488 does work with both LED and incandescent trailer lights. The harness gets power for the trailer lights from the vehicle battery so no power is drawn from the vehicle wiring. I have included a link to the installation instructions.

  • How to Carry Cargo With a 2020 Lexus ES 350
  • There are no trailer hitches that fit a 2020 Lexus ES 350, including the one you mentioned for an '18, but there is a way to carry cargo like bikes if that is what you were wanting a rack for on your Lexus. You would need a roof rack for this, and you can add one so long as your Lexus has a naked roof (and not the glass roof). The best roof rack for your 2020 Lexus ES 350 is from Thule and consists of: - Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711420 (Black) OR # TH711400 (Silver) - Evo Clamp...

  • Can Swagman XTC-2 Be Configured To Carry Only One Bike
  • You sure can remove some of the components on the Swagman XTC-2 2-Bike Platform Rack, part # S64670. If you only wish to carry 1 bike on the carrier, you can just install the components to be able to carry one bike. When first assembling the carrier you can just install one of the hooks on the upright mast, and then only install 2 of the wheel holder trays. I recommend installing the parts on the inside of the upright mast so you keep the weight closer to the receiver tube on your hitch....

  • The Yakima JetStream Crossbar System composed of part # Y00425, part # Y28TR, part # Y06175, and part # Y06160 is a confirmed fit 2013 Lexus ES 350 and a great option for carrying kayaks. In order to secure both kayaks, you'd need a few sets of j-style carriers for which I recommend the etrailer Kayak Roof Rack part # e98878. These are complete carriers that come with everything you need to secure the kayaks like tie-downs. Please note, you should not open the sun roof with the roof rack...

  • Dimensions of License Plate Screws and Hardware Kit
  • The Steel Fasteners for License Plates and License Plate Frames - Standard - Qty 4 # CR80230 are 1/4 inch diameter by 3/4 inch long. This is the standard diameter for license plate hardware, so if you have a smaller hole, you may want to consider enlarging it for compatibility or using stainless or zinc plated screws from a hardware store that will fit the current holes.

  • Options for Carrying 2 Bicycles on Lexus 2010 ES350
  • The Curt Class II Receiver part # 12343 is currently the only receiver hitch option available for your vehicle. As you said, the cross bar portion of the hitch is visible below the rear fascia. A better option for you might be a trunk mounted bike rack. The rack would mount to the trunk lid of your Lexus via a series of adjustable straps. The rack could be installed as needed. We have several trunk mounted bike racks available from Thule and Yakima. My particular favorite is the Thule...

  • Recommended Battery Charger for a XS Power XP950 AGM Battery
  • To keep your XS Power XP950 charged I recommend using the Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger # 331-BCDC1225D. The BCDC will actually use the vehicle's alternator to keep the auxiliary battery charged. When the auxiliary battery is fully charged, the unit will automatically redirect maintenance charge power to the starter battery. I have attached a review video on the charger for you as well.

  • Is the Saris Freedom 2 Bike Platform Rack Easy To Remove
  • The Saris Freedom 2 Bike Platform Rack part # SA4412B only weighs 22-1/2 lbs so it will be very easy to take on and off the vehicle. In order to do this you simply need to unscrew the anti-rattle hitch bolt from the shank and trailer hitch. Then, the bike rack can be put up for storage. If you like, you can leave the bike rack installed on the vehicle but keep in mind it does not fold up. Please note, the Saris Freedom does not come with locks but you can add them for the bike rack with...

  • Difference Between Thule T2 Pro and T2 Pro XTR 2 Bike Rack
  • The Thule T2 Pro 2 Bike Platform Rack referenced in your question is a great platform rack designed for Class I and Class II trailer hitch receivers. Since the release of the T2 Pro 2 Bike Platform Rack, Thule has made some improvements and released the Thule T2 Pro XTR # TH23JV, replacing the original T2 Pro, which is why you cannot find it on their website. The T2 Pro XTR has a greater distance between bicycles of 12-1/2 inches when compared to the 11 inch measurement offered by the...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver and 2 Bike Carrier for a 2017 Lexus ES 350
  • We have both Class I and Class II trailer hitch receivers for your 2017 Lexus ES 350 but both of which only have a 1-1/4" receiver tube opening. For the Class I hitch you will want to use the Curt Class I Receiver Hitch part # C11362 and for the Class II hitch you will want to use the Draw-Tite Class II Frame Receiver Hitch part # 36530. I recommend using the Draw-Tite trailer hitch receiver as this will allow for more bike rack options to be used and will also not require the use of a...

  • Trunk Mounted Bike Rack for 2014 Lexus ES 350 and RX 350
  • There are some great options for trunk-mounted bike racks for your 2014 Lexus ES 350 and RX 350, but unfortunately the Thule Passage 3 Bike Carrier does not fit your RX 350. For a trunk-mounted option that will fit both vehicles, I recommend the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 3 Bike Rack # HRF2-3. This is a hanging-style bike rack that can hold up to three bikes and is easily adjustable to change the setup for different vehicles. It is also designed to fit over most factory spoilers in case...

This roof rack is only for models with a standard roof, and will not fit models with the panoramic sunroof.
