What Kayak Carrier Do You Recommend for My 2021 Lexus RX 450h with a Panoramic Roof?
Yes, Thule does make a kayak carrier that will fit the flush rails on your 2021 Lexus RX 450h with a panoramic roof. For the kayak carrier, I recommend the Thule Compass Kayak and SUP Carrier w/ Tie-Downs # TH890000. With the Compass, you will be able to transport 1 kayak (in the j-style or flat style) or 2 kayaks (in the vertical style). As far as weight capacity, the Compass has a single watercraft capacity of 75 pounds and an overall weight capacity of 130 pounds. You will be able to...

Available Ways to Transport Bikes with 2020 Lexus RX 450h
As of right now (December 2019) we are still waiting on hitch fits to be released for the 2020 Lexus RX 450h and we don't have confirmation if the 2019 model hitches will carry over to the 2020 models. Hopefully they do but we also looked up the 2020 models and some changes were made to the vehicle so it looks very possible they will have to come up with a new fit. Are you looking for a way to transport bikes with the vehicle? Were you planning on a bike rack with a hitch? We have some...

Recommended Brake Controller For 2010 Lexus RX450R With Tow Package
On your 2010 Lexus RX450h, there is not a wire run for you from the dash to the rear connector. I recommend using the Tekonsha Prodigy RF Wireless Trailer Brake Controller - 1 to 3 Axles - Proportional # TK94FR you mentioned. This is a proportional brake controller that will apply the brakes on your trailer at the same time and with the same amount of force as you hit the brake pedal in your Lexus. This controller automatically adjust trailer braking based on deceleration. The unit...

Recommended Coupler for Custom Kayak Trailer
For your small kayak trailer, I recommend the Fulton Fas-Lok Coupler # F222000301. This will give you a 2 inch ball compatibility along with the ability to use a 2 inch square bar that you'd need to obtain locally to give you the length you need. That size will fit a standard 2 inch receiver tube if that is what is on your trailer. If you need a 2-1/2 inch bar compatibility, then I recommend the coupler # CT-3002-Z. For a 3 inch bar compatibility, I recommend the # CT-3003-Z coupler....

Carrying a Womens and 2 Childrens Bikes on a 2013 Lexus RX 450h
Most 16 inch children's bikes and women's bikes need an adapter bar, like the Swagman # 64005, to be able to carry them level on a hanging bike rack. For that long of a trip I definitely recommend the bikes be as level as possible. The solution is often to use a wheel mount platform rack instead; however, they only fit as small as 20 inch wheels. With that being said sometimes the small bikes do fit hanging bike racks. It depends on how much space there is for the arms to fit under...

Do I Need To Put Snow Chains on the Front and Back Wheels of my 2010 Lexus RX 450H AWD
You can put a pair of Snow Tire Chains on just the front wheels of your 2010 Lexus RX 450H AWD and you would be fine in the snow. For added stability it would not hurt to have another pair on the rear wheels, but it is not necessary. You should also check with the owners manual of the vehicle to ensure that your vehicle is compatible with snow chains. I have attached a snow chain FAQ article that you might find helpful below. There is also the snow chain laws for your state listed in...

Recommended Trunk Mount Bike Rack for a 2011 Lexus RX 450h
We do not have a trunk rack available for your Lexus with a spoiler. To carry two bikes, I recommend installing a hitch like the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 75676. Then you could choose from a hanging rack like the Thule Camber # TH9058, or a platform rack like the Swagman Semi 4.0 # S64698. I included a couple installation videos and a helpful article for you.

Recommended Bike Rack to Carry 2 Electric Bikes with Alternative Frames and Fenders
I do have a recommendation for you but the Kuat NV 2.0, part # NV22G, isn't going to work with your fenders. Wheel mount bike racks rarely work with bikes that have fenders. Instead take a look at the Saris Freedom, part # SA4412B. It has the same 60 pound capacity as the Kuat and hold the bikes by the frame. The cradles that grab the frame are adjustable and can be attached to the bikes at different locations and angles. I've linked a video so you can see how a bike is actually mounted...

2020 Lexus RX 450h Platform Bike Rack With Swing Away Capability
I can recommend a hitch platform rack for your 2020 Lexus RX 450h. If you want a swing away hitch platform bike rack you will suffer a weight penalty. The adapter you need to enable your rack to swing away will add anywhere from 36lbs to 45lbs of additional weight. My recommendation for a light weight hitch platform bike rack is the Kuat NV 2.0 Base Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount - Matte Black, part # SH22G. This rack weighs 32lbs and it has a maximum weight limit of...

Trunk-Mount Bike Rack to Fit Both 2010 Lexus RX450h & 2014 Honda Accord Sport Sedan
For a trunk-mount 2-bike rack that fits both your 2010 Lexus RX 450h (without rear spoiler) and your 2014 Honda Accord Sport sedan, I suggest the Thule Passage 2 carrier, part # TH910XT, if you don't need locks on the rack. If you prefer a Thule rack that includes integrated locks for both the rack itself and for your two loaded bikes, then the better choice is their OutWay , part # TH45JV. The Saris Bones racks fit the Accord, but not the Lexus. In terms of ease of installation, the OutWay...

Which 2-Bike Rack Is Best For 2021 Lexus RX450H?
There currently is not a trunk mounted bike rack for the 2021 Lexus RX 450H with a spoiler, but you can use a hitch mounted bike rack, which is actually my preferred method. First, if you don't have a hitch you'll need one: Curt # C73DR. Then for the bike rack, I highly recommend the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE2 # HR1450Z. The weight capacity is 50lbs per bike and the max tire size is 3", which means you can haul most heavy fat bikes without an issue. This carrier is very popular...

Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2016 Lexus RX 450h with Laser Cruise Control
I checked with several hitch manufacturers and there is not any kind of fit exception for their hitches on a 2016 Lexus RX 450h that features Laser Adaptive Cruise Control. All of the available hitches for this vehicle are confirmed to fit all models. For your Lexus I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish - Class III - 2" # e49KR which is a confirmed fit and offers a no drill installation. I have attached installation instruction for you to check out.

What Hitch Rack Other Than the Thule EasyFold XT will Work for My 2 56-Pounds E-Bikes?
For a more economical option than the Thule EasyFold XT # TH903202 that still has the weight capacity you need to transport your two 56-pound electric bikes, I recommend the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount # HLY84FR. The Sport Rider SE includes the same frame-mount style as the EasyFold XT that will help ensure that you don't damage your fenders if you were to choose a bike rack that had wheel mounts. The Sport Rider SE has a maximum...

Recommended Trunk-Mounted Bike Rack for 2019 Lexus RX 450h With Spoiler
There is one option to carry bike racks at the rear of your 2019 Lexus RX 450h with a spoiler, the SeaSucker Hornet Rear Window Bike Rack # 298-BH1302. This is an easy-to-use bike rack that is vacuum cup mounted, meaning you just attach the pair of vacuum cups to the back of your Lexus, mount your bikes and you're all set! The SeaSucker is extremely reliable and is the best option for vehicles that cannot otherwise carry bikes without a trailer hitch. While it does have a one-bike capacity...

Trailer Wiring Harness Recommendation for a 2011 Lexus RX450H without Tow Package
Sounds like your 2011 Lexus RX450H does not have the tow package so there is a missing harness needed to activate the 4-way wiring. Because of that you would want the Tow Ready Wiring harness part # 118255 that you referenced as it comes with the converter harness needed and will activate the 4-way wiring port.

Trailer Hitch for Use with a Bike Rack on a 2015 Lexus RX 450h
For your 2015 Lexus RX 450h I recommend Curt Class III trailer hitch # C13143. This hitch has a 2 inch receiver and it is rated for 600 pounds tongue weight so it can easily handle a laded bike rack. I have included a link to a video showing an example installation for you.

E-Bike Rack Recommendation for 50 lb E-Bike with Fenders
We have the Thule EasyFold XT bike rack part # TH903202 which would work great for you. It was specifically designed for heavier e-bikes with fenders like yours so it would be our best option. It uses frame clamps that are designed to fit the typically unusual frame styles of e-bikes, has a weight capacity of 65 lbs per bike and comes with ramps to make loading and unloading easier as well.

Trailer Wiring Recommendation for 2015 Lexus RX450H
The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4 Pole Connector, # 56083 is for the 2015 Lexus RX450h with a tow package, so it is not designed to work with models that do not have a tow package. According to the installation details linked, some vehicles will need to be reprogrammed at a dealership to allow this wiring harness to work. This harness draws power and signals for the trailer lights from the vehicle wiring. Apart from connecting a trailer and testing the left/right turn...

Bike Rack Recommendation for 2016 Lexus RX 450H
Due to the sloped rear windshield and larger rear spoiler we don't have any trunk mounted bike racks that fit your 2016 Lexus RX 450h. But we have a better solution with a hitch bike rack. Hitch racks don't touch the vehicle paint or windows, are much more secure, and easier to install. So you'd need a hitch installed first like the Curt Class III Hitch # C73DR and then you could use a hitch rack like the Hollywood Racks Trail Rider # HR200Z which is a easy to use and also very stable rack. I...
