Expert Answers about Lexus RX 400h

• Fit of Thule OutWay TH45JV on 2007 Lexus RX400h
• In many cases, having a solid spoiler at the top of the hatch lid will prevent a trunk mounted bike rack from being installed. Thule has done extensive testing on your vehicle, and has found that the spoiler is strong enough to handle a 2 bike rack. The Thule OutWay you referenced, part # TH45JV would be an excellent choice. The unique ratcheting cable attachment system allow the rack to be installed or removed in seconds, unlike other racks that use straps and buckles to attach to the...

• Will the Thule OutWay 2 Bike Trunk Mount Bike rack Fit a 2008 Lexus RX 400h
• Thule does list the OutWay, # TH45JV, as a fit for your 2008 Lexus 400h. I have included a link to a video review of the Raceway series of bikes. The video features the 3 bike version, but you can only use the 2 bike version on your vehicle. I have also included a link to all of the trunk mount bike racks that will fit your vehicle. If you will be carrying women's, children's, or alternative frame bikes, I recommend using the Bike Adapter Bar, # TH982XT, in order to carry the bikes more...

• Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2008 Lexus RX 400h
• Yes, Curt trailer hitch # 13530 fits your 2008 Lexus RX 400h. I have linked a video showing an example installation for you. If you plan on doing some towing I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag. If the ball mount kit does not have the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level,...

• Kayak Load Assist Options for a Vehicle with Factory Roof Rack
• It sounds like you need help loading a kayak(s) on your 2008 Lexus RX 400h with a factory roof rack. If that is the case then I do have an option for you but none of the side load assist arms we carry that attach to the crossbars which includes the Rhino-Rack Universal Load Assist part # RR-RUSL will work with factory crossbars as it requires an overhang. The overhang means the crossbars extend out past the mounting feet which is rarely the case for a factory roof rack. Instead, the only...

• Will Thule Camber Bike Rack Clear the Rear Bumper on a 2008 Lexus RX 400h with Curt Trailer Hitch
• The Thule Camber 2 bike rack # TH9058 measures 5-3/4 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the foot of the carrier and it has a few more inches to the back of the upright mast. This is plenty of room to clear the rear bumper on your 2008 Lexus RX 400h. I have included a link to a video review of this bike rack for you. If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical men's bike would) then I recommend using bike adapter...

• How to Reattach Spare Tire on a 2006 Lexus RX 400h After Hitch Install
• The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 13530 is a confirmed fit for a 2006 Lexus RX 400h with the "factory" spare tire. The factory spare tire would have came mounted to a steel wheel with a black plastic cover placed over it (see video). If you have an aluminum wheel under the vehicle then this was not installed from the factory and I cannot guarantee it will be able to be reused with the above hitch. If you do have the factory spare tire with steel wheel then what you are going to...

• How High Will CE Smith 13 Inch Bolster Bracket Sit Above 3 Inch Crossmember
• The # CE10002G-4 CE Smith Bolster and Swivel is 13" tall. Assuming you mount it at the position to gain the most height, you should have 9" remaining. Losing the height from attaching to the 3" crossmember leaves you with 10" remaining. You will lose 1" at the bottom with the 1/2" below the lower mounting hole and 1/2" diameter U-bolt. Accounting for the added height of the bunks, you should be sitting over 11" once installed. I have attached a video review of the bracket for your reference.
