- It looks like for the 2017 model year it would be a Lexus NX Turbo in our fit guide. Curt trailer hitch 13214 stops at the 2016 model year so 2017 will require a different hitch. The comparable Curt hitch for the 2017 is # C13337. Or you could use Draw-Tite Class III Max Frame Round Tube Receiver Hitch - 2017 Lexus NX Turbo # 75956.
For either of the above mentioned hitches the manufacturers state they will fit all styles of the 2017 Lexus NX200t so that would include the F Sport models.

- I would start by testing the trailer wiring harness, # 118652, you just installed on your 2017 Lexus NX200t. Use a circuit tester like # 3808 and test each function. If the problem is on the vehicle then check for any fuses related to trailer brake lights. If it's not a fuse you'll need to check the wiring connections you made when installing the harness.
If everything checks out at the 4-way trailer connector then the problem is on the trailer. Inspect the trailer's 4-way and make...

- It's probably just a matter of unplugging the connectors and plugging them back in as it sounds like some of the pins aren't making contact. If that doesn't fix the issue I would assume the converter box is bad and would need to be replaced.

- I promise not to be a jerk however I may not have the news that you want to hear. The Thule rack you have, I'm not sure which one it is but that doesn't really matter, fits a trailer hitch receiver and is not custom fit to any specific vehicle. However, the trailer hitch receiver that was installed onto your 2010 Lexus RX 350 is custom fit for the vehicle and will not fit your 2017 Lexus NX200T.
What this means is you don't need a new rack, you need a new hitch. Which is why the dealer...

- There are currently 2 class III hitches with a 2" receiver that will fit your 2017 Lexus NX 200t F Sport.
First is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13337 that you found. This hitch will allow for 525lbs of maximum tongue weight for your bike rack. If you ever do need it for towing a trailer it is rated for 3,500lbs with a standard ball mount or 4,000lbs with a weight distribution hitch. Be sure to verify and not exceed weight limits given by Lexus for your vehicle.

- The only instructions for wiring harness # 118652 are the basic install instructions that come with it and that I have linked for reference. What I recommend for trim panels are trim panel tools # PT73HJ which will work much better than metal tools like screwdrivers that can potentially damage plastic trim panels.

- The mounting flange of the trailer hitch part # 75956 does fit between the frame and the exhaust hanger of your 2017 Lexus NX Turbo, but it should only drop the exhaust at most the thickness of the trailer hitch flange which is no where near the 1-1/2 inch that was mentioned in the review.
Worst case scenario you can take the rubber isolators that hold the exhaust with you to a auto parts store to find a shorter one to compensate for this.

view full answer... - Will the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12143 Fit a 2017 Lexus NX Turbo
- Although we do have trailer hitches that fit your 2017 Lexus NX Turbo, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12143 is not one of them. It is a fit for 2015-2016 Lexus NX 200t and 300h models.
For your NX Turbo we have part # C12172 and part # C13337 as trailer hitch receiver options. I recommend going with part # C13337 as it has a 2" receiver and will allow you to use a wider variety of accessories.
I have linked installation videos of both trailer hitches on a similar Lexus NX. If you...

- I will be happy to get you set up with everything you will need to tow the trailer. Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 75956 does fit the 2017 Lexus NX turbo models. It is rated for 3,500 pounds gross trailer weight so it has plenty of capacity for the 1,500 pound trailer.

view full answer... - Bike Rack Recommendation for 2017 Lexus NX Turbo
- I have a great solution for a bike rack for your 2017 Lexus NX Turbo but none of the trunk rack manufacturers we offer have any confirmed fits for your vehicle. Best option is a hitch rack with a hitch installed like the part # 75956 which is a confirmed fit and would work well. Hitch racks are much more stable than trunk racks and don't touch any painted metal surfaces so there's no risk for paint damage.
The most popular bike rack we carry that has been confirmed to fit this vehicle...

- For your 2017 Lexus NX, the best bike rack for you is going to depend on the type of bikes you have and how often you plan to carry them. Both the Kuat Transfer 2 part # KU74FR and the Yakima HoldUp 2 part # Y02443 are excellent bike racks that will work well for you.
However, I recommend the Yakima HoldUp as it has a bit more features that will work with your bikes and vehicle better than the Kuat Transfer will. For starters, the HoldUp can carry bikes weighing up to 60 lbs each whereas...
view full answer... - Recommended Torque Wrench for Trailer Hitch Installation
- For the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class II - 1-1/4" # C12172, there really isn't a solution other than to use a torque wrench. Without torqing the necessary bolts to the manufacturer specs, you void the warranty and can have safety issues when using the hitch receiver.
If you want to purchase one, I recommend the torque wrench # ALL944001 or the digital adapter # ALL940962. There are many auto parts stores that now rent tools as well if you prefer to go that route, but...
