Expert Answers about Lexus CT 200h


  • Troubleshooting Bike Mount Issues on the Kuat Beta Bike Rack on a 2011 Lexus CT 200h
  • I think I have a solution to your problem. I would recommend you use a bike adapter bar like the Thule Bike Adapter Bar for Womens and Alternative Bike Frames, part # TH982XT. A bike adapter bar is specifically designed to help you carry bikes that have odd or smaller shaped frames safely on a bike rack. The adapter bar will attach to your bikes seat post and the handle bar post. I have attached a video showing how this adapter bar works for you to check out.

  • Is There a Way to Bring the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 Closer to the Bumper when Folded Up?
  • The Kuat Sherpa 2.0 # SH12P is a great bike rack, however there is no way to adjust the rack to fold up closer to your bumper. The only solution would be to use a different hitch that doesn't stick out as far from your vehicle frame, but the only hitch we have available for your 2018 Lexus CT 200h is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11200. When installed, this hitch should measure about 4" from the center of the hitch pin hole to the rear-most part of your bumper. Otherwise, you would...

  • Will The Thule Motion XT 16 Fit On My 2015 Lexus CT200H?
  • You can use the 16 cu ft Thule Motion XT # TH629706 as long as your crossbars have a minimum spread of 23-5/8 inches and a no more than 36-7/8 inches you will be fine. To measure that, record the distance between the center of the front crossbar to the center of the rear one. If you want to still use the back hatch without any clearance issues, make sure that from the front crossbar to your hatch when it's open is at least 47-1/2 inches.

  • 50mm Trailer Hitch Ball for European Style Bike Rack
  • Based on some quick research it appears your Atera Stada DL is a fit for a 50mm hitch ball more common in Europe. We do have the Brophy 50mm Hitch Ball - 1" Diameter x 2-1/8" Long Shank - Chrome - 8K # EH53C-C. The 50mm hitch ball is 1.9685 inches so it is between the 2 inch ball and the 1-7/8 inch size so that is most likely your fit issue.

  • Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2014 lexus CT 200h
  • My technical contact at Curt advised that their Class I trailer hitch # C11200 that fits the 2013 Lexus CT200H has not yet been confirmed as a fit for the 2014 model year. Newer vehicles can require a few months for the aftermarket manufacturers to test-fit their products and as of this point Curt has not yet confirmed this hitch as a fit for the 2014 CT 200H. I suggest you check back with us periodically on the hitch fit. If you are looking for a way to transport bikes you could use...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2016 Lexus IS 300
  • The Curt hitch part # C11389 that you referenced has been confirmed as a fit for your 2016 Lexus IS 300 so we would recommend it for you. It would work well to carry a bike rack.

This rack has a ton of positive reviews from our customers who have tried it. Check out the review video I attached for more info. Curt requires the use of their stabilizer strap part #...

  • Troubleshooting Side Straps Coming Loose with Thule Passage 2 Bike Rack on 2016 Lexus CT 200h
  • The Thule Passage 2 Bike Carrier # TH910XT that you referenced is confirmed to fit your 2016 Lexus CT 200h. If the side straps on the carrier are coming loose, I recommend making sure that the rack is installed properly as there are a couple fit instructions for the rack that are specific to your vehicle. On the Lexus CT 200h the top clips should be placed in the gap at the front edge of the top of the trunk/hatch. The lower clips should then be placed in the bottom edge of the trunk/hatch....

  • Trunk Mount Bike Carrier for 1,200 Mile Trip for a 2012 Lexus CT 200h
  • Thule has tested the OutWay trunk mount bike carrier # TH45JV on a 2012 Lexus CT 200h. Probably not for 1200 miles but enough to determine that it fits safely. This is a good road trip bike carrier. It features anti-sway cradles, passive security strap, and an integrated cable lock in the last bike position. The 2-strap design will keep the carrier secure to the vehicle and the anti-sway cradles will reduce bike movement. It is the easiest rack to install and remove. It is an excellent...

  • Compatibility of Kuat Sherpa 2.0 Bike Rack with 2013 Lexus CT 200h
  • One of the most important things to consider when choosing a bike rack is the bumper clearance. Because there is not a set standard of how far back the receiver is recessed under the vehicle, the distance between the hitch pin hole in the receiver and the furthest rearward point of the vehicle bumper needs to be known so a rack with a long enough shank can be chosen. If you choose a rack whose shank is too short, the upright portion or wheel tray of the rack will contact the bumper before...

  • Parts Needed To Be Able To Tow a Trailer With a 2013 Lexus CT 200h
  • While we do carry all the components that you will need to be able to tow a trailer with your 2013 Lexus CT 200h it is not recommended for trailer towing by Lexus. That said you are likely past any manufacturer warranties that would be voided so the decision is yours to make. You will need the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11200 to attach either the 1-7/8" # C45571 or 2" # C45572 Curt Euro Style Drawbar. You will need to match the ball size to the coupler on the trailer. You will need...

  • Will the Thule OutWay Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2013 Lexus CT 200h
  • Yes, the OutWay 3-Bike Rack # TH56BV is a confirmed fit for your 2013 Lexus CT 200h! This is the 3-bike version of the OutWay so if you are only wanting the 2-bike version you will want part # TH45JV instead. They both have a 33 lb per-bike weight capacity and closer arms to reduce the need for the adapter bar # TH982XT so it really just boils down to whether you think you'll need that 3rd bike option or not. The OutWay is one of the nicest trunk mount bike racks on the market so I honestly...

  • Recommended Wind Fairing for 37-3/8 Long Rhino Rack ROC25 Crossbars
  • Since the bars on the Rhino Rack ROC25 # RR65QR are 37-3/8" long, you'll want to use the Rhino-Rack Fairing for Roof Racks - 38" Long # RRRF2, which will sit right about even with the outside of the legs and provide you with full coverage of your crossbars. This is going to do a great job of reducing the wind noise and is exactly what you're looking for.

  • Lightweight Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendation
  • We have some lightweight bike racks like the Saris Bones part # SA805BL (10 lbs), which could potentially work for you. But without knowing what year Lexus CT 200h you have it is hard for me to say what would be the best rack for based on what is confirmed as a fit. What you will want to do is follow the link I attached that will ask you to enter your year/make/model and then all of the confirmed trunk racks we offer will be listed for your vehicle.

  • In the instructions for Curt trailer hitch # C11200 there is a list of the tools required. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you to view.

For trailer wiring you will need to go to a Lexus dealer.
