  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation For 2015 Lexus IS 250 Convertible
  • We do have an option for a trailer hitch on the 2015 Lexus IS 250 convertible. I recommend Class I Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11047. When you mention lightweight if you are referring to the actual weight of the hitch, the Curt hitch weighs about 19 lbs. If you are referring to the weight capacity of the hitch, it can handle 200 lbs of tongue weight. The Class I hitches are mostly used for bike racks on the Lexus so you would want to keep the weight of the bike rack and the bikes...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2014 Lexus IS 250
  • I spoke with my contact at Curt and he said the Curt trailer hitch # C11389, which you reference, is a confirmed fit for your 2014 Lexus IS 250. The hitch will not interfere with the factory exhaust, however the exhaust must be temporarily lowered for installation. In order to know if the hitch will interfere with your aftermarket exhaust, I will need to know what kind of aftermarket exhaust you have. I have attached a photo of Curt trailer hitch # C11389 installed on a 2014 Lexus IS 250...

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2013 Lexus IS 250
  • I have a solution for you but no one makes a hitch with a 2" receiver for your 2013 Lexus IS 250 convertible. The only option is going to be the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver item # C11047. This hitch is custom fit and bolts directly to your Lexus with included hardware. It has a 1-1/4" receiver for which there are many options for bike racks. Given the tongue weight capacity of this hitch I do not recommend using an adapter to try to make a 2" bike rack fit. For a reliable 1-1/4" bike...

  • Recommend Hitch for a 2006 Lexus IS 250
  • You'll definitely want to buy the hitch before you get your trailer. For your 2006 Lexus IS250 you will want the Curt Trailer Hitch item # C11372. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Lexus with included hardware. This is the highest capacity hitch available for the IS 250 and the only option. The Curt Trailer Hitch item # C11372 is a class I hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver. It has a 2,000 lbs towing capacity and a 200 lbs maximum tongue weight. I have linked an installation video...

  • Front Covers of Roof Rack Legs on Rhino 2500 Roof Rack Will Not Attach on 2007 Lexus IS 250
  • I would first recommend to check the part numbers of your Rhino roof rack to make sure you have the correct fit for your 2007 Lexus IS 250. The black crossbars should be part # RRVA118B-2, you should also have part # RRRLKVA for the legs, and the clamps and pads should be part # DK241. If the part numbers are correct then you will want to make sure the clamps and pads are assembled correctly. The part # DK241 rubber pads are specific to each corner of the vehicle on the Lexus IS 250, so...

  • Correct Trailer Hitch for a 2015 Lexus IS 250 C
  • The available trailer option for a 2015 Lexus IS 250 C is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11047. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11389 is for sedan models, not the convertible so it will not work. The former however features an easy bolt-on install with the same size opening and hitch rating.

  • Is There a Difference Between the Curt Trailer Hitches on the 2011 Lexus IS250 Sedan and Convertible
  • According to Curt the # C11372 is the correct fit hitch for the 2011 Lexus IS250 all Sedans non-convertible. This Curt hitch fits Lexus IS250 models from 2006 to 2013. If you have the convertible model, then the Curt hitch # C11047 is the confirmed fit. The difference between the two hitches has to do with the width of the mounting arms of the hitch. The convertible model is a different length when mounting under the car to allow for the convertible top to retract in to the truck area...

  • Roof Rack & Kayak Carriers For 2 Kayaks On A 2014 Lexus IS 250
  • I recommend getting the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero System for your 2014 Lexus IS 250. It'll come with the 46 inch bars # RRVA118B-2 the 2500 Series Legs # RRRLKVA and the custom fit kit # DK380. It's fairly simple to install so I've included a video to help! As far as kayak carriers go, I like the J-Style Carriers like this one from Rhino-Rack # S512-S512X. You can fit kayaks on top of your roof easily. This will be best to center it on your vehicle to make it just as easy to load from either...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2015 Lexus IS 250 for a Bike Rack and Light Trailer
  • I recommend the Draw-Tite trailer hitch receiver, part # 24923, for your 2015 Lexus IS 250. It's confirmed to fit both the sedan or convertible models. The hitch is a Class I, 1-1/4 inch receiver so you need to make sure the bike rack you use fits the Class I. The bike rack I recommend is the very popular Thule T2 Pro XTR, part # TH23JV. The T2 is a platfrom rack that carries up to 2 bikes at 50 pounds each. it can be folded up out of the way when you're not using it as well as tilted...

  • Do the Trailer Hitches for a 2013 Lexus IS 250 Fit a 2014 Lexus IS 250
  • The trailer hitches are not the same between a 2013 and 2014 Lexus IS 250. As you have indicated the 2013 IS 250 sedan uses hitch # C11372. The 2014 uses hitch # C11389. The side brackets are slightly different on the C11389. There is a little cutout on the backs of them so that they can fit on the 2014 IS 250. So in other words the hitches are not interchangeable. But the wiring harness # C56142 will fit both 2013 and 2014 models. The recommended ball mount for each is # C45521 and you...

  • Roof Rack Recommendation for a 2015 Lexus IS 250
  • We do have roof rack options for your 2015 Lexus IS 250 but SportRack roof rack # SR1002 is not a fit. The most cost effective for the quality roof rack is from Rhino-Rack using the following parts: Crossbars # RRVA118B-2 Feet # RRRLKVA Fit kit # DK380 Another benefit of this roof rack is that it is custom fit whereas the SportRack is a semi-custom fit and would not fit as well as a true custom kit.
