Expert Answers about Lexus NX 200t


  • Trouble Locating the Factory Taillight Wiring Harness On a 2016 Lexus NX 200t
  • The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 118652 is a confirmed fit for your 2016 Lexus NX 200t. This harness actually installs inline with the factory taillight wiring harness so there will not be any sort of unused plug if that was what you were looking for. In order to access the factory taillight wiring harness you need to remove a few trim panels. I have then attached a photo that shows where the factory taillight wiring harness is located. Unfortunately, we have not yet had the chance...

  • 3-Bike Trunk Mount Bike Rack for a 2017 Lexus NX 200t
  • I do have a 3 bike trunk mount rack for your 2017 Lexus NX 200t, but the Yakima HangOut unfortunately won't fit. Instead you can use the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top # HRF2-3 which carries 3 bikes (up to 35 lbs each) and it specially designed to avoid making contact with the spoiler on your vehicle. I've attached a review video for you to check out. Some additional things you might consider using alongside this includes the Thule Passive Security Strap # TH533, the Cable Lock # e98891,...

  • Bike Rack Options for 2016 Lexus NX 200t That Are Not Hitch Mounted
  • I have a solution for you, but there are not any 2 bike racks that mount to the rear of your 2016 Lexus NX 200t. There is only one option for trunk mounted bike racks for your 200t and that is the Saris Bones EX 3 # SA803 . Saris is the pioneer of trunk mounted bike racks in this country and they make some of the most high quality trunk mounted racks on the market- the Bones EX 3 is no exception. The design of the arms makes it so that the bikes are separated to different levels in order...

  • Class III Trailer Hitch Installation Points on 2016 Lexus NX 200t
  • The Curt Class III hitch # C13315 made for your 2016 Lexus NX 200t does indeed use a different mounting point than the Draw-Tite # 75956. The reason is that the higher tongue weight (TW) capacity of the Curt hitch, 600-lbs, requires installation on a different section of the frame. My contact at Curt confirmed this for me. The other hitches' TW capacities are 350-lbs. I'd definitely go for the Curt hitch for your car. All hitches fit your car, install without drilling and come with the...

  • Thule Bike Rack Recommendation for Carrying Fat Bike and Mountain Bike with 27.5 in Wheel
  • The Thule T2 XTR bike rack part # TH83JV that you referenced would work for both of the bikes you mentioned as it can fit wheel diameters up to 29 inches and tires that are up to 5 inches in width. This would be a great option that I recommend highly. It will only touch the bikes at the tires and is very easy to use. The T2 bike racks are considered by most to be the nicest platform bike racks around. Check out the review video I attached for more info as well.

  • Recommended 1-1/4-Inch Class II Trailer Hitch for 2016 Lexus NX 200t for Use with Kuat Bike Rack
  • Hitches can have either a round crosstube or a square crosstube, the horizontal part that you see from the rear of the vehicle. The difference is purely cosmetic; some customers find a round tube hitch tends to look nicer on certain vehicles. But the actual receiver opening that will accept the shank of a bike rack or a towing ball mount is always square. The 1-1/4-inch hitch we offer for your 2016 Lexus NX 200t, the Class II Curt # C12143, happens to have a round crosstube, as do the...

  • Best Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2016 Lexus NX 200t
  • For the Curt Hitch part # C13337 that you ordered for your 2016 Lexus NX 200t the Thule T2 part # TH69TX would be an excellent choice for a bike rack. This is one of the nicest bike racks on the market so I would highly recommend it. This rack comes with hitch and bike locks, anti-sway device to stabilize the rack, and uses wheel mounts that only touch the bike tires to load them so nothing would touch the frame of the bike. Check out the attached video to see all of its other great features.

  • 2017 Lexus NX 200T Roof Rack and Bike Rack Recommendation
  • For your 2017 Lexus NX 200T with flush roof rails I'd recommend the Thule WingBar Evo roof rack 118 # TH711220, the podium foot pack part # TH460R, and the fit kit # THKIT4060 for a roof rack to start as this installs easily without permanent modification and has bars that are aerodynamically shaped which means you'll have minimal wind noise. Then for a bike rack the Thule UpRide part # TH599000-FB would be a great choice to allow you to keep the front wheel attached.

  • Which Bike Rack Can Be Folded Up And Will Not Make Contact With The 2016 nx200t
  • The Thule T2 Pro XTR # TH69TX for 4 bikes or the # TH83JV measures 5" from the hitch pin hole when folded up. Since you measured 5-6" from the hitch pin hole to the rear of your bumper, this bike rack will not be able to fold up when installed on your 2016 Lexus NX 200t. The Saris SuperClamp EX 4 Bike Platform Rack - 2" Hitches # SA4026F measures 5-1/4" from the hitch pin hole when folded, so this may not be a great option either. The Kuat NV 2.0 2-Bike Platform Rack - 2" Hitches # NV22B...

  • Trailer Wiring Harness to Fit a 2017 Lexus NX 200t
  • We do carry trailer wiring for your 2017 Lexus NX 200t but the # 118255 harness is custom fit for several different Lexus models. Instead the harness you want for your Lexus is part # 118652. I've linked the install details for you to take a look at. I confirmed the fit with Tekonsha to be sure. If you're also looking for a trailer hitch part # 75956 is confirmed to fit your Lexus as well.

  • Pin Dimension of Curt Hitch from Outermost Bumper of 2016 Lexus NX 200t
  • We have not yet installed the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12143 on your vehicle for us to get that measurement. That is something we include in our videos as well as the height to the inside top of the receiver, but we unfortunately have not done that installation on your vehicle yet. I can confirm the fit for your 2016 Lexus NX 200t from Curt and have attached a photo from the installation instructions which are also linked to assist, but they do not take that measurement when they...

  • Trailer Hitch for 2015 Lexus NX200t F Sport Model
  • I checked with Draw-Tite and Curt, and each of the trailer hitches available for your 2015 Lexus NX200t, the Draw-Tite # 75956, Curt # C13337 and Curt # C12143 will fit your F-Sport model. Though none of these hitches are going to be hidden, I recommend the Draw-Tite # 75956. If you take a look at the accompanying photo from one of our customers, you can see this hitch installed on a F-Sport model and how it looks. This is a Class III hitch with a 2" receiver, maximum tongue weight capacity...

  • Images of Curt Class II Trailer Hitch Receiver Installed on a 2016 Lexus NX 200t
  • Unfortunately, we have not had the chance to get any photos or a video of the Curt Class II # C12143 on a 2016 Lexus NX 200t as of yet. I did grab a couple of images from the install details that I've attached. The install details are attached as well. This hitch is confirmed to fit your Lexus. If you're going to be towing you'll also need trailer wiring. The Curt Wiring Harness # C56268 will provide you with a 4-way trailer connector. This will power a trailer's running, brake, and...

  • Finding a Trailer Hitch for 2017 Lexus NX 200t
  • I see where the confusion lies. Our site lists both the 2017 Lexus NX 200t and the 2017 Lexus NX Turbo. These are different ways of referring to the same SUV. As such, the hitch found on many of our Q and A pages, product # 75956, will indeed fit your vehicle. It is a Class III 2-inch hitch from Draw-Tite. There are installation videos for the 2015 and 2016 models on the product page, which I will also link here, that may prove useful to you if you choose this option. There is also a...

  • Recommended Bike Transportation Method for my 2015 Lexus NX 200t
  • I can provide a solution for you but there are no trunk mount bike racks confirmed to fit your 2015 Lexus NX 200t. We do have the option of adding hitch with the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 75956 which is a very straight forward installation. Check out the linked video to see what it entails. This option will allow you to attach any hitch type bike rack like the Swagman XTC-2 2-Bike Platform Rack part # S64670.

  • Will Yakima FatCat Ski Carrier Mounts Fit Factory Crossbars that are Aero Shaped
  • The Replacement Mounting Hardware for Yakima FatCat Ski and Snowboard Carrier # Y8860078 that you referenced is designed to easily fit on aero shaped roof rack crossbars. That said, I can't guarantee they would also fit the ski rack you have as well since I am not sure what rack model you have. This replacement was intended for the FatCat carriers like part # Y03087.

  • Thule Helium Platform # TH44VR Leans To One Side When I Install It Into My Hitch
  • When you put the Helium Pro # TH44VR in the hitch, get the pin in place then tilt it right to left as you tighten the hand knob at the bottom. It seems like you don't have the knob tightened down all the way. You can see what I mean in the video I've included for you. Right at the beginning of the video I do exactly this and it does not learn like yours is. I've used this on many many vehicles in the past and never had this issue when it was secured properly. If this doesn't solve the...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2015 Lexus NX 200t and Parts Needed to Tow Trailer
  • The trailer hitch I recommend for your 2015 Lexus NX 200t is the Draw-Tite Class III Round Tube Receiver Hitch # 75956. I like this hitch because there is no drilling required to install this trailer hitch and it has great reviews from our customers. This trailer hitch has a 3500 pound towing capacity, which is plenty to tow a 1,500 pound motorcycle trailer. The installation instructions for the hitch are linked for you. You will also need trailer wiring, a ball mount, and hitch ball...

  • What Hitch do you Recommend for my 2016 Lexus NX 200t when Using a Motorcycle Carrier
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13337 is the only option that will fit your needs. When using a carrier like yours you use the Tongue Weight or TW to determine the capacity available. This hitch is rated for up to 525 lbs. of TW your carrier and bike weigh in at 520 lbs. based on the info you provided. That falls right in line with the hitch. I have linked an installation video on the hitch for you to check out. I do need to advise you to check your owner's manual and see what...

  • Does Installing Draw Tite Hitch # 75956 Void Warranty of 2016 Lexus NX 200t
  • When you install an aftermarket part on your vehicle like a trailer hitch in this case, you are protected by the Magnuson–Moss Warranty Act. This act states, in part, that unless the installation and the part caused a problem then the warranty cannot be voided. I recommend looking it up online. I attached an install video for this hitch for you to check out as well.
