Expert Answers about Lexus NX 200t

• 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...

• 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. The Kuat NV 2.0 2-Bike Platform Rack - 2" Hitches # NV22B...

• Trouble Locating the Factory Taillight Wiring Harness On a 2016 Lexus NX 200t
• 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...

• Trailer Hitch for 2015 Lexus NX200t F Sport Model
• 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...

• 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...

• Pin Dimension of Curt Hitch from Outermost Bumper of 2016 Lexus NX 200t
• We have not yet installed the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12143 on your vehicle for us to get that measurement. That is something we include in our videos as well as the height to the inside top of the receiver, but we unfortunately have not done that installation on your vehicle yet. I can confirm the fit for your 2016 Lexus NX 200t from Curt and have attached a photo from the installation instructions which are also linked to assist, but they do not take that measurement when they...

• 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...

• Thule Helium Platform # TH44VR Leans To One Side When I Install It Into My Hitch
• 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...

• 2015 Lexus NX200t Tongue Weight Capacity and Compatibility with Transporting Motorcycle
• The owners manual of your 2015 Lexus NX200t doesn't specifically state a tongue weight rating, instead it states the tongue weight is to be between 9 and 11 percent of the gross trailer weight as long as your hitch can support that. It then states on page 182 of the online manual that the trailer should not exceed 2000 lbs which would mean the max tongue weight they specify is 220 lbs max. You will want to use a trailer to tow your motorcycle instead of using a hitch mounted motorcycle...

• 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...

• 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.

• What Hitch do you Recommend for my 2016 Lexus NX 200t when Using a Motorcycle Carrier
• The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13337 is the only option that will fit your needs. When using a carrier like yours you use the Tongue Weight or TW to determine the capacity available. This hitch is rated for up to 525 lbs. of TW your carrier and bike weigh in at 520 lbs. based on the info you provided. That falls right in line with the hitch. I have linked an installation video on the hitch for you to check out. I do need to advise you to check your owner's manual and see what...

• Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2015 Lexus NX 200t and Parts Needed to Tow Trailer
• The trailer hitch I recommend for your 2015 Lexus NX 200t is the Draw-Tite Class III Round Tube Receiver Hitch # 75956. I like this hitch because there is no drilling required to install this trailer hitch and it has great reviews from our customers. This trailer hitch has a 3500 pound towing capacity, which is plenty to tow a 1,500 pound motorcycle trailer. The installation instructions for the hitch are linked for you. You will also need trailer wiring, a ball mount, and hitch ball...

• Trailer Wiring Harness Recommendation for 2015 Lexus NX 200t
• For your 2015 Lexus NX 200t the Tow Ready harness part # 118652 is a confirmed fit. There actually aren't any install videos for this specific harness so you may be thinking of the # C56268 which is also a fit for your vehicle and does have a review video which I linked. The converter boxes do look different. The Tow Ready would be the kit I would recommend though as we have the best luck in terms of reliability with this brand.

• Recommended Bike Transportation Method for my 2015 Lexus NX 200t
• I can provide a solution for you but there are no trunk mount bike racks confirmed to fit your 2015 Lexus NX 200t. We do have the option of adding hitch with the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 75956 which is a very straight forward installation. Check out the linked video to see what it entails. This option will allow you to attach any hitch type bike rack like the Swagman XTC-2 2-Bike Platform Rack part # S64670.

• 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....

• Differences Between Curt Hitches C13214 and C13337 For 2016 Lexus NX 200t
• 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.

• 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...
