  • Recommended Roof Rack for a 2013 Lexus ES 350 for Kayaks
  • The Yakima JetStream Crossbar System composed of part # Y00425, part # Y28TR, part # Y06175, and part # Y06160 is a confirmed fit 2013 Lexus ES 350 and a great option for carrying kayaks. In order to secure both kayaks, you'd need a few sets of j-style carriers for which I recommend the etrailer Kayak Roof Rack part # e98878. These are complete carriers that come with everything you need to secure the kayaks like tie-downs. Please note, you should not open the sun roof with the roof rack...

  • Options for Carrying 2 Bicycles on Lexus 2010 ES350
  • The Curt Class II Receiver part # 12343 is currently the only receiver hitch option available for your vehicle. As you said, the cross bar portion of the hitch is visible below the rear fascia. A better option for you might be a trunk mounted bike rack. The rack would mount to the trunk lid of your Lexus via a series of adjustable straps. The rack could be installed as needed. We have several trunk mounted bike racks available from Thule and Yakima. My particular favorite is the Thule...

  • Difference Between Thule T2 Pro and T2 Pro XTR 2 Bike Rack
  • The Thule T2 Pro 2 Bike Platform Rack referenced in your question is a great platform rack designed for Class I and Class II trailer hitch receivers. Since the release of the T2 Pro 2 Bike Platform Rack, Thule has made some improvements and released the Thule T2 Pro XTR # TH23JV, replacing the original T2 Pro, which is why you cannot find it on their website. The T2 Pro XTR has a greater distance between bicycles of 12-1/2 inches when compared to the 11 inch measurement offered by the...

  • Trunk Mounted Bike Rack for 2014 Lexus ES 350 and RX 350
  • There are some great options for trunk-mounted bike racks for your 2014 Lexus ES 350 and RX 350, but unfortunately the Thule Passage 3 Bike Carrier does not fit your RX 350. For a trunk-mounted option that will fit both vehicles, I recommend the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 3 Bike Rack # HRF2-3. This is a hanging-style bike rack that can hold up to three bikes and is easily adjustable to change the setup for different vehicles. It is also designed to fit over most factory spoilers in case...

  • Recommended Roof Rack For 2007 Lexus ES 350
  • I would be happy to recommend a roof rack for your 2007 Lexus ES 350. I recommend the Rhino-Rack Roof Rack System which uses 46" Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA118B-2, Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRRLKVA, and Fit Kit # DK234. This roof rack is only for models with a standard roof, and will not fit models with the panoramic sunroof. At this time we do not offer a roof rack system confirmed to fit models with the panoramic sunroof. I included a video...

  • How To Carry Bikes On a 2019 Lexus ES350
  • I do have an option for you to carry bikes though there are no trailer hitches available for a 2019 Lexus ES350. Instead, you will need to use either a roof rack or trunk mount rack. I recommend a trunk mount rack as it's most cost effective, easy to take on/off, and does not require as much lifting as a roof mounted rack. For this, the Saris Bones 2 Bike Rack part # SA805BL will be a great option. It's made in the USA, only weighs 9 lbs, and comes with a lifetime warranty.

  • Is Trailer Hitch Available For Lexus ES 350 That Does Not Require Permanent Removal Of Heat Shield
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch, part # C11362 is designed to fit a 2013 - 2016 Lexus ES 350, and 2013 - 2016 Lexus ES 300h Hybrid. If this is the vehicle you are asking about then the C11362 will work for you. It does require permanent removal of the heat shield. If you have an ES 350 model, we do offer an alternative. You can use the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, part # 36530. This is a Class ll hitch and it has a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. The installation of this hitch requires the temporary removal...

  • 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...

  • Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2010 Lexus ES350
  • The only available trailer hitch option we carry for the 2010 Lexus ES350 is Curt Trailer Hitch, # 12343. I have included a link to the installation details below. This is a Class II trailer hitch with a 1-1/4 inch receiver. The bike rack you choose will need to be compatible with this size trailer hitch.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2013 Lexus ES350 for Best Visual Appearance
  • We don't have any alternative with a more hidden crossbar from any of our manufacturers so the aesthetics are basically choosing between the options available for your vehicle. In my opinion the Curt hitch # C11362 is a slightly better look than the Draw-Tite # 36530. I have attached photos of each to assist. For some the round crossbar of the Curt is less noticeable than the square tube crossbar of the Draw-Tite. You cannot move them closer to the backseat as you stated because of...

  • 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.

  • Trunk Mount Bike Rack Compatible With my 2020 Lexus ES350
  • As you said Thule does not have any confirmed fits, but I have two great racks by Saris to recommend. The Saris Bones 2 Bike Carrier part # SA805BL is a very nice basic trunk bike rack. It has adjustable arms and anti-sway features. It can carry 2 bikes up to 35 pounds each. It does not include locks but comes with a limited lifetime warranty. Then the Saris Bones EX 3 Bike Rack part # SAR83FR is an upgraded version which is more sleek and easier to use. It has a expanded, arched...

  • Which Trailer Hitch Receiver for a 2017 Lexus ES 350
  • I have a solution but the Hidden Hitch Trailer Hitch Receiver 90072 you referenced will not fit your vehicle, and currently there is not a Hidden Hitch trailer hitch receiver that is made to fit your 2017 Lexus ES 350. The only two options made for your vehicle are the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Class I #C11362 and the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver Class II # 36530. Hidden Hitch and Draw-Tite are owned by the same company and are the same part. Both trailer hitch receivers will be...
