Expert Answers about Lexus RX 350


  • Does Yakima GrandTour 16 Rooftop Cargo Box FIt 2011 Lexus RX 350 w/ Factory Roof Rack
  • I checked with Yakima for you and can verify that your 2011 Lexus RX 350 with a factory roof rack will absolutely be compatible and allow you to mount the Yakima GrandTour Rooftop Cargo Box - 16 Cubic Ft # YA74FR. The GrandTour is a superb choice for a rooftop cargo box due to its easy-to-use mounting system with clamps that you simply tighten with knobs, its lid that opens from both sides for simple access, and its included locks so all your cargo will be safe inside the box. I have...

  • Will the Malone Cargo12 Rooftop Cargo Box Work On a 2017 Lexus RX 350
  • The Malone Cargo12 Rooftop Cargo Box part # MPG901 is compatible with a vehicle that has between a 25" to 27" crossbar spread. The crossbar spread is measured from the center of the front crossbar to the center of the rear crossbar. If the crossbar spread is any less than this then it would not be able to support the weight of the cargo box while loaded. I did some additional research on your 2017 Lexus RX 350 and it looks like there is a section of rubber on the side rails that the factory...

  • Do I Need To Use an Auxiliary Strap When Carrying a Thule Bike Rack On Curt Trailer Hitch # 13554
  • Curt recommends using Curt Bike Rack Strap with Cambuckle, part # 18050, with hitch mounted bike racks and other hitch accessories. I would recommend using part # 18050, with your Thule Bicycle Rack, as it is recommended by Curt as a precaution to reduce the jarring and torque applied to the hitch from the weight of the bike rack and bicycles.

  • Will Tekonsha 118255 Fit 2021 Lexus RX 350
  • Yes, the Tekonsha 118255 will fit your 2021 Lexus RX 350. It sounds like you don't have the tow package, which is why this comes with the powered converter unlike the # 118252. The same is true with the Curt. The # 56083 is for vehicles with the factory tow package and the # C56217 with the powered converter is for those without.

  • 2009 Lexus RX 350 Roof Rack Recommendation for Rooftop Tent
  • Thank you for the info - since your 2009 Lexus RX 350 has the raised rails that's a great start! For your application I recommend going with the Thule WingBar Evo roof rack system which includes the 50" Long Crossbars # TH711320 and the Evo Raised Feet # TH710401. This has a weight rating of 165 lbs so it will be perfect for a rooftop tent. The 165 lb rating is dynamic.

  • Replacement Thule 12mm x 1.75 Threaded Hitch Pin
  • All Thule bike racks use the same threaded hitch pin so you can use the Replacement Threaded Pin for Thule Snug Tite Hitch Lock and Anti-Rattle Device # 853-5917. This is just the threaded bolt, and you'll need to use the flat washer, lock washer and lock assembly to secure it. If you need more than just the bolt, like the washers and lock you can use the Thule Snug Tite Hitch Lock and Anti-Rattle Device # THSTL2; it will come with everything to secure your bike rack to your hitch.

  • Can Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness C56217 Be Installed In 2021 Lexus RX 350?
  • I would be happy to help! The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56217 you were looking at installs in your 2021 Lexus RX 350 the exact same way as it would get installed in a Toyota Highlander which is why the instruction manual only shows the install being on the Highlander. There is not a specific instruction manual that shows the install in your RX 350, but at the bottom of the included instructions in the 2014+ section that will be what you need to follow. The picture you...

  • Recommended Trailer Wiring Harness for a 2020 Lexus RX 350 F-Sport
  • I do have an option but there are currently no plug-n-play trailer wiring harnesses for a 2020 Lexus RX 350 with F-Sport Package. Therefore, if you need to tow a trailer your best option would be the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 119250KIT since it's the only option which would not require splicing.

  • Two Bike Platform Rack Recommendation for E Bikes that has a Tilting Feature.
  • For your requirements the Thule T2 Classic Bike Platform Rack for 1-1/4" hitches # TH9045.

They are both in stock and will fit the bill of exactly what you are looking for. You just need to determine if you have a 1-1/4" hitch or a 2" hitch. Check out the videos of both.

  • Cutting Steps for Installation on the Draw-Tite 75540 Hitch on a 2022 Lexus RX 350
  • I have taken a look at the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver item # 75540. This hitch is confirmed to fit your 2022 Lexus RX 350 and it does require some minor trimming of the lower portion of the rear trim. I have linked a couple of pictures and one with included dimensions of the required cut. The receiver is only 2" x 2" so you won't have to make a 3" cut like the instructions say. It's alright if you make a smaller cut that is just enough for the receiver to not rub on the trim.

  • Could Saris Bones EX 3 Bike Rack Fit 2015 Lexus RX 350
  • As long as your 2015 Lexus RX 350 doesn't have the OEM spoiler the Saris Bones EX 3 part # SA803 will fit and work great. If you have a spoiler you'd need to go with a hitch mounted option like the Hollywood Racks Trail Rider part # HR200Z with a hitch that fits your vehicle like the Draw Tite part # 75676.

  • How To Mount 2 Bikes To a 2020 Lexus RX 350 Without Trailer Hitch Receiver
  • I have an option but currently there is not a two bike trunk mounted bike rack option for your 2020 Lexus RX 350. I recommend adding the SeaSucker Mini Bomber Roof 2 Bike Rack - Fork Mount # 298-BM2006 to mount your two bikes to your vehicle without having to purchase a trailer hitch receiver, or roof rack, and will remove easily when ever you need. You can also install the SeaSucker # 298-BM2006 on nearly any vehicle so you wont have to buy another system if you get a different vehicle. Depending...

  • How to Determine if 2017 Lexus RX350 Has Factory Tow Package
  • I'm assuming that you're needing to know so you can choose the correct wiring harness, correct? You could call your Lexus dealer and give them your VIN, and they should be able to tell you how your RX350 is equipped. Or, you could remove the inside cargo area bulkhead on the passenger side to find the gray tow package plug. If there is already a black taillight converter box plugged into the connector, you have the tow package and would use the # 118252. If there is nothing plugged into...

  • Trailer Hitch for 2014 Lexus RX 350 That Doesn't Require Fascia Trimming
  • We do have exactly what you need, however the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C114121 that you referenced will not fit your 2014 Lexus RX 350. As you mentioned this particular hitch is designed for certain model years of the VW Golf so it won't line up with the frame on your Lexus. There are two trailer hitches available for your 2014 Lexus RX 350 (as long as you don't have the F Sport model); the Draw-Tite Class III # 75676 and the Curt Class III # C13143. The Curt hitch requires that...

  • Is Drilling Required to Install Trailer Hitch on 2011 Lexus RX 350
  • We do have exactly what you need, however the Hidden Hitch Class II Trailer Hitch Receiver # 90092 that you referenced is not a fit for your 2011 Lexus RX 350. This particular hitch is designed for certain model years of the Mercury Cougar and Ford Thunderbird so it's not going to line up with the frame on your Lexus. For your Lexus I recommend the Curt Class III Trailer Hitch # C13143 instead that represents the strongest unit available for your vehicle and is made right here in the...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2009 Lexus RX 350
  • All of the available trailer hitches for the 2009 Lexus RX 350, see link, will share about the same amount of visibility. A more hidden trailer hitch is not available. Out of the available hitches, the most popular is the Curt hitch # 13530. If you want to use a bike rack or cargo carrier with this hitch, you must also use a stabilization strap # 18050 per Curt warranty requirements. I recommend the Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 75153. A stabilization strap is not required with this hitch....

  • Trailer Wiring Harness for a 2012 Lexus RX 350
  • You are going to need a trailer wiring harness that requires a separate connection to the vehicle battery, # 118478. The purpose of the power wire is to actually power the trailer lights. This adds another layer of circuit protection between the trailer wiring and vehicle wiring. The wiring on the vehicle is not designed for the extra load of the trailer lights and could damage the vehicle wiring; something you do not want to happen. Routing the power wire is easy, it just takes time....

  • For a roof rack that will fit your panoramic roof as well as allow the sliding function of your sunroof on your 2017 Lexus RX 350 with flush factory rails, I recommend the following roof rack setup: - Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 47" Long - Qty 2 # TH711220 - Evo Flush Rail Feet for Thule Crossbars - Flush Side Rails - Qty 4 # TH710601 - Fit Kit for Thule Evo Flush Roof Rack Feet - 186044 # TH186044 - (Optional for extra security)Thule One-Key System Lock Cores # TH450200 The...
