• Trailer Hitch Receiver For Carrying a Bike Rack With a 2021 Lexus IS 350 F-Sport
• Currently the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11389 and Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24923 are the only receivers we have confirmed to fit your 2021 Lexus IS 350 F-Sport. There is not a hidden style receiver available for your Lexus. I do prefer the Draw-Tite over the Curt as it does not require the use of a Stabilizing Strap # 18050 when using a bike rack. For a bike rack I recommend the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 Bike Rack # SH12G. This lightweight aluminum rack only weighs 32lbs...

• Trailer Hitch Recommendation for Carrying E-Bike with 2019 Lexus IS 350
• 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...

• Will Curt Trailer Hitch 11389 Fit a 2014 Lexus IS350 F-Sport
• Curt lists trailer hitch # C11389 as a fit for all models of the 2014 IS250 and IS350 which would include the F-Sport. If you will be using the hitch for accessories such as a bike rack, Curt advises using stabilizer strap # 18050. The strap is designed to reduce some of the stress on the trailer hitch.

• Best Trailer Hitch Receiver for a 2012 Lexus IS 350 Convertible
• 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.

• Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2018 Lexus IS 350 for Carrying Bike Rack
• 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...

• How to Install the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver Part # 24923 on a 2014 Lexus IS 350
• 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...

• How to Determine Ground Clearance on a 2015 Lexus IS 350 After Hitch Install
• 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...

• Recommended Trailer Hitch for a 2019 Lexus IS 350
• 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...

• Is Hollywood Racks Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock and Cable Lock Compatible with the Trail Rider
• Yes, the Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock and Cable Lock # HRLHPTC are compatible with the Hollywood Racks Trail Rider # HR200Z and it will fit a 1-1/4" hitch receiver. The reason it isn't listed as a compatible rack is because the Trail Rider has locks on the adjustable arms where this is a kit that comes with a cable lock so it technically isn't the exact replacement. With that being said, the replacement threaded hitch lock # HRLHPT is the exact replacement for the Trail Rider and it is the...

• Roof Rack Options for 2016 Lexus IS 350 Sedan with Bare Roof
• I checked directly with Thule and you are correct that they do NOT currently show any confirmed roof rack fits for your 2016 Lexus IS 350 sedan. Available roof rack options from Rhino-Rack, Yakima and Inno that we offer are shown on the linked page. These include several options for your sedan that has no roof hardware (no rails or crossbars) such as basic round and square bar racks as well as the quieter aero-style bars such as those in the Rhino-Rack Vortex system made of parts # RRVA118B-2,...

• Hitch Fit for 2010 Lexus IS 350 Convertible
• 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.

• How do Determine Ground Clearance for Curt Class I Trailer Hitch # C11372 on a 2008 Lexus IS 350
• 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...

• 1-1/4 Inch to 2 Inch Trailer Hitch Adapter for 2007 Lexus IS 350
• We have not yet had a chance to test fit the Curt Trailer Hitch # C11372 on a 2007 Lexus IS 350 so I would not be able to guarantee the Hitch Adapter 1-1/4" to 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver with 5" Rise # HT5R will be able to give you the rise you want while clearing your bumper. That said, when we test fit the Curt hitch on a 2012 IS 350, which is the same generation as your 2007, it measured 5-1/2" from the hitch pin hole to your bumper, and the Brophy adapter extends 7" which means it...

• Recommended Roof Rack for a 2018 Lexus IS 350 w/ a Naked Roof
• 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 Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars - Naked...

• Fit of Yakima HangOut Y02638 on 2008 Lexus IS350
• 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...

• Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2007 Lexus IS350
• 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...

• Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2022 Lexus IS 350
• 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!
