• Bicycle Hitch Needed for a 2011 Lexus ES350 and Bike Rack Recommendation
• At this time the only hitch we have available for the 2011 Lexus ES350, is the Curt Class II Receiver Hitch, item # 12343. Minor trimming of the underbody trim panel is required, but will not be visible once the hitch is installed unless viewed from the underside of the vehicle. If you need a bike rack, I would recommend the Swagman XTC-2, item # S64670. This platform style rack makes loading and unloading the bikes simple and the ratcheting hooks make securing the bikes to the rack quick...

• Will the Thule Passage Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2009 Lexus ES350
• Yes, the Thule Passage trunk mount bike rack # TH910XT is listed as a fit for your 2009 Lexus ES 350. I have included a link to a video review of this bike rack for you. If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical men's bike would) then I recommend using bike adapter bar # 64005. This will allow you to carry those bikes more level and will provide better ground clearance. I have to use these adapters and without them my wife's...

• Fit of Draw-Tite Class II Hitch # 36416 on 2009 Lexus ES350

• Recommended Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier for a 2013 Lexus ES 350
• The Thule WingBar Evo Crossbar System part # TH711420, and part # TH710501, and part # TH145149 is what I recommend for a 2013 Lexus ES 350 as it's the quietest roof rack on the market. There won't be any fit issues with the sunroof either. In order to secure a kayak, the etrailer J-Style Kayak Carrier part # e98878 is a great all inclusive option which because it saves space will allow you to add another kayak down the road if needed or even a bike rack.

• Can I Carry Two Heavy Electric Bikes on a 2011 Lexus ES350?
• For your 2011 Lexus ES 350, the only available hitches are Class II 1-1/4 hitch receivers. Technology has advanced where 2" hitches are being designed for newer models, but for your vehicle, a Class II is as good as it gets. The only solution here would be to use a hitch adapter # 80303 to turn your 1-1/4" into a 2" hitch. I would be cautious though, since this method halves your hitch capacity. Instead of 300lbs tongue weight, you will have 150 lbs tongue weight capacity. Rad Electric...

• Does Draw Tite Hitch 36530 Fit 2016 Lexus EX 350
• We have confirmed with Draw Tite that the hitch part # 36530 is a confirmed fit for your 2016 Lexus ES 350. In some cases we have seen trailer hitches get bent in shipping and have that cause an issue for getting the hitch to bolt up but typically the hitches can be bent back to allow the hole to line up as long as there is no paint flaking or creasing of the hitch. With the large mounting flanges that the hitches that fit your vehicle have I could see their hitch possible being bent and...

• Wire Color Function of Ultra-Fab Deluxe Electric Landing Gear
• Sure thing! The Ultra-Fab Deluxe landing gear, part # UF17-943010, wiring is actually pretty straightforward once you know which wire is which by color. The switches and the motors both have red and black wires. Those need to be connected to each other matching the colors. Then the white wires from the switches go to the positive battery post through the fuse holder and the green wires need to be grounded to a good ground location or the negative battery post. Check out the picture I attached...

• Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendation for s 2014 Lexus ES 350
• I have a better solution for you, a hitch mounted bike rack would allow you to transport bikes without having anything at all contact the vehicle paint on your new Lexus EX 350. For a hitch you would want the Curt Hitch part # C11362. You should note that Curt says all non-trailer loads - bike racks, cargo carriers and so forth - should be supported with stabilizing straps. Failure to properly support these loads will void your hitch warranty from Curt. For that you would need the part...

• From the rearmost hitch pin hole to the face of the Shocker Hitch Impact Cushioned Adjustable Clevis # SHK93RR ball mount is 8-3/8" (see bottom right figure of attached photo). If you're wanting to know what the distance is to the back side of the ball mount that is 4-1/2" instead (see bottom left figure of attached photo).

• Compatibility of Yakima Q Tower Roof Rack with 2008 Lexus ES 350 with Sunroof
• According to Yakima, a roof rack consisting of the # Y00409 crossbars, # Y00124 Q Towers and # Y00696 and # Y00606 Q clips is compatible with your 2008 Lexus ES350 with a sunroof. The fact that your ES350 has a sunroof will not affect or interfere with the fit. According to Yakima, once the rack is installed on your vehicle roof, it will have a 100 lb capacity.
