Expert Answers about Lexus


  • Recommended Hitch and Ground Clearance for a 2024 Lexus NX 350
  • When installed on your 2024 Lexus NX 350, the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch item # DT82QR will lower your ground clearance about 4". The receiver sticks out all the way below the back trim on your Lexus which is why it sits so far down. The benefit of this is that you don't have to cut into your Lexus. The Draw-Tite item # DT82QR is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 4,500 lbs towing capacity and a 675 lbs maximum tongue weight. If you are planning on towing you will...

  • Bike Rack Recommendation for 2011 Lexus CT 200h with Curt Class I Hitch
  • Hey Michelle, the Hollywood Racks Destination bike rack part # HLY94FR that you referenced is a really great bike rack that is compatible with Class I hitches like the Curt part # C11200 that you have installed on your 2011 Lexus CT 200H. It's very lightweight, easy to use, and also stable on the road too at a great price.

  • Recommended Anti-Rattle Lock for Yakima EXO Swing Away Enclosed Cargo Carrier
  • I would love to but the Yakima EXO Swing Away Enclosed Cargo Carrier item # Y74ZR you purchased already comes with a locking anti-rattle hitch pin. It does a great job of reducing rattle and also secures the system to your hitch.

  • Brake Controller Port For Tekonsha Wiring Adapter 3040-P on 2009 Lexus LX 570
  • Based on what I found online, you are correct the brake controller port is not to the left of the steering column on your 2009 Lexus LX 570. We haven't done any installs with this vehicle, but I did some digging and what I found was that to access the port you will need to remove the lower dash panel, and the connector should be just up and to the right, taped to other wiring so it may be a chore to find, but once you do this will allow you to use the wiring adapter: - Tekonsha Plug-In...

  • Will the Curt Euro Style Ball Mount Work With a Class I Receiver
  • Well Daniel I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you're actually not going to be able to use any of those Euro style ball mounts with your Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11372. This is a class I hitch and the drawbar(s) you're looking at are for class II hitches which may have the same receiver openings, but they can not be used together - the ball mount will not fit all the way because there is a built in tab/stopper to prevent you from doing this. It looks like all that's offered...

  • Does The 2022 Lexus NX350H Have a 2 or 3-Wire Tail Light Setup?
  • I'm thinking you are wanting to know if the tail lights on 2022 Lexus NX350H are a 2-wire or 3-wire as I see you were looking at the Curt Powered Tail Light Converter # C59236. Your Lexus is going to have a 3-wire setup as the turn signals are separate from your brake lights. If you were looking for something else please let me know so I can help answer your question.

  • Recommended Roof Rack for 2016 Lexus RX 350 With Flush Factory Rails for Roof Top Tent
  • For your 2016 Lexus RX 350 with factory with flush mounted rails that run front to back, I suggest the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars, # RRVA137S-2 mounted with the Rhino-Rack SX Series Legs, # RR37QX. This will provide a dynamic weight/moving load capacity of up to 165 lbs. so this meets the need of your Roof Top Tent. When used stationary or static they will accommodate higher weights. When used in this fashion with a roof top tent the vehicles roof is typically going to be the weakest...

  • Is the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Brake Controller Compatible with a 2017 Lexus GX 460 Factory Tow Package
  • Thanks for reaching out, Neil! Yes, the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Brake Controller # RED44FR is compatible with your 2017 Lexus GX 460. Since your vehicle has the factory tow package I recommend picking up the Curt Custom Wiring Adapter # C51362 and cutting off the black connector then splicing the universal wiring pigtail from the Redarc to the adapter so you get a plug-and-play setup.

  • Will the same hitch for a 2018 Toyota Rav4 fit a 2021 Lexus n300h
  • Mark, they did indeed change the frame on the 2021 Lexus NX 300 H. The same hitch from a 2018 Toyota Rav 4 would not be a fit. The hitch that you would be looking for is part # e89AR. If you also need a harness, it would be part # 118652.

  • Is Gen-Y Glyder Shock Absorbing Ball Mount Overkill For Smaller Trailer
  • Hey Manny, Even with a smaller trailer, it is not overkill and you can absolutely benefit using the Gen-Y Glyder Shock Absorbing Ball Mount for 2" Hitches # 325-GH-12001. A trailer, regardless of size, is still going to be rigid, bounce, and affect the ride of your tow vehicle and the trailer. So adding some cushioning like you get with the Glyder is definitely a good idea, and something I recommend. So if you do decide to go with the ball mount you'll also need a hitch ball, either...

  • Parts Needed to Install 7-Way and Brake Controller on 2018 Lexus RX 450h
  • Hey Jeff, we can help install a 7-way on your 2018 Lexus RX 450h but you will have to start with a 4-way like the part # 56083 as there isn't a 7-way kit custom fit for your vehicle. So once you have the 4-way installed you would need to convert it to a 7-way with the part # 37185. Unless your trailer has brakes then you would also need a brake controller like the p2 part # 90885 and the 7-way adapter part # ETBC7 instead.

  • Swing Away Bike Rack For Bike With Rear Fender
  • Hey Laura, There is a swing-away rack you can use with the Allant+ 7s Stagger that has the rear fender but not the RockyMounts AfterParty # RKY37ZR. The rear wheel holder won't be compatible with the fender at all, as its not able to secure a rack via the frame or fender - it simply won't offer the necessary stability. So instead I recommend the following: - RockyMounts BackStage Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # RKY10002 The # RKY10002 is a wheel-mounted rack as well, but just for the front tire....

  • Suspension Enhancements And Weigh Distribution System For 2017 Lexus GX460
  • I have a solution for your towing needs, however, there are currently no air suspension options for your 2017 Lexus GX460. If you are wanting to extend the life of your vehicle's suspension and reduce body roll, I would look into rear suspension enhancement. I recommend the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TTORSEQ. The hollow rubber springs sit above the rear axle to help level your vehicle and absorb shock, providing a much safer and more stable ride when hauling heavy loads....

  • Brake Controller Wiring Harness with a Adjustment Knob for 2017 Lexus GX460
  • I would be happy to recommend a brake controller with a control knob for your 2017 Lexus GX460. We have two options for wiring harnesses for your vehicle depending on the whether or not your Lexus has the towing package. I recommend the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller item # RED44FR. This is a proportional brake controller with an adjustment knob that can be installed anywhere on your vehicles dash or console. If your vehicle does not have the tow package you will need to...

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2024 Lexus NX 350h
  • No, nothing vital. There's a recovery loop in the way that has to be removed from beneath your Lexus. The Curt Trailer Hitch item # C33NR is custom fit for your 2024 Lexus NX 350h and bolts to it with included hardware. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver so it does not require any support straps for bike racks. I have attached the instructions below so you can see the step and the part I mentioned.

This is the wiring harness for the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller item # RED44FR you referred to. This will plug directly into that plug in your picture.

  • Weight Distribution
  • For a trailer with an aluminum frame, the use of weight distribution comes down to the trailer manufacturer, to the strength of the frame, like you said, and its ability to handle the stress of weight distribution. It sounds like they are saying not to use weight distribution with their trailer, so I definitely don't recommend it.

  • Trailer Brake Controller for a 2018 Lexus GX 460
  • We have several brake controllers to use with your 2018 Lexus GX 460. I recommend the Tekonsha Primus IQ, part # TK90160. This hooks up to your brake controller harness using the custom wiring adapter, part # 3040-P. Without knowing what kind of dash plate you have or it's dimensions, I cannot say if this controller will fit with it. I've linked to a video installation of this controller so you can see if it can install the way you want it. If you don't have the prep package for your...
