Expert Answers about Lexus RX 450h


  • Will the Yakima SUPDawg work with the Malone Roof Rack Systems
  • If your Lexus RX450h has the raised factory side rails the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack part # MPG216 is a great easy to use roof rack. That will fit perfectly. If it does not have the raised factory side rails but has a bare or naked roof instead a kit consisting of the Inno Aero Crossbars part # INXB138-2, Inno Through Feet for Aero Crossbars part # INXS250 and the Custom Fit Kit part # INK868 will do the trick. Both of these will work out great with the Yakima SUPDawg Stand-Up Paddleboard...

  • Will the Thule Hull-A-Port Aero Fit on Factory Crossbars
  • I may have a solution for you, but the Thule Hull-a-Port Aero # TH849000-97 can only be installed on square crossbars and the Hull-a-Port Aero # TH849000 is only designed to fit in the T-Slots found on aftermarket crossbars. Neither option is designed to fit on the factory crossbars on your 2021 Lexus RX 450h, but there are similar carriers that will work. Since you have factory crossbars I recommend considering the Yakima JayLow Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs - J-Style or Post Style - Folding...

  • Recommended Tire Chains for 255/55r20 Tires on 2017 Lexus RX 450h F-Sport
  • The best source for clarification on whether or not you should use chains on your 2017 Lexus RX 450h F-Sport is going to be the owner's manual. I was not able to locate a copy online but it's most likely that if you are able to use chains, you'll need Class S compatible chains. For those I recommend using the Konig Premium Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chains - Diamond Pattern - D Link - K-Summit XXL - Size K67 # TH2004565767 because they're easy to put on and the low profile design ensures...

  • Hitch Lock and Cargo Net for Use with Lets Go Aero Cargo Carrier part # H01380
  • The Lets Go Aero Cargo Carrier part # H01380 that you referenced does come with threaded anti-rattle hitch pins so you would not be able to reuse the hitch lock you have now. But to convert the hitch pins to a locking setup you'd need the part # ACC3250. The Curt stretchable cargo net part # C18202 would be a really great option for securing the cargo you mentioned to the carrier.

  • Trunk-Mount Bike Rack to Fit Both 2010 Lexus RX450h & 2014 Honda Accord Sport Sedan
  • For a trunk-mount 2-bike rack that fits both your 2010 Lexus RX 450h (without rear spoiler) and your 2014 Honda Accord Sport sedan, I suggest the Thule Passage 2 carrier, part # TH910XT, if you don't need locks on the rack. If you prefer a Thule rack that includes integrated locks for both the rack itself and for your two loaded bikes, then the better choice is their OutWay , part # TH45JV. The Saris Bones racks fit the Accord, but not the Lexus. In terms of ease of installation, the OutWay...

  • Will Steering Wheel of 2007 Toyota Camry LXE on Tow Dolly Need to Be Locked
  • In order to keep the vehicle on the dolly stable and tracking properly behind the motorhome or vehicle doing the towing, you'll want to keep the towed vehicle's steering wheel locked at all times. This applies whether or not the tow dolly in question is 'self steering' or has a steer axle. I've linked you to some demonstation/description videos featuring the Roadmaster # RM-2050-1 tow dolly you'd looked at.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2016 Lexus RX 450H
  • For your 2016 Lexus RX 450H, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C73DR. This is a great hitches confirmed to fit your 450H, but it does not have a CE mark. It is compatible with European style ball mounts like # C45572 when you use a hitch reducer like # HT02.

  • With the Curt # C56434 that fits your 2018 Lexus RX 450H we have found that the handsfree liftgate is still functional but you'll just need to kick to either side of the hitch opening. There isn't a different option that doesnt require doing this.

  • Roof Rack Fit for 2019 Lexus RX 450h with Panoramic Roof
  • The Thule roof rack will fit your 2019 Lexus RX 450h with a panoramic roof although you are correct that Yakima does not have a roof rack which will fit. Thule only notes that you should not open, vent or retract the roof with the roof rack on. My recommendation is to use the Thule roof rack consisting of # TH711400 or black # TH711420, # TH710601, and # TH186044 along with # TH450400 locks. Additionally, your Whispbar WB-300 ski and snowboard rack will fit this roof rack; the Whispbar...

  • Enclosed Hitch Carrier Recommendation that Allows Rear Cargo Area Access on Vehicle
  • Realistically there is only one cargo carrier we can recommend for your 2012 Lexus RX 450h to give you the ability to fully open the rear door of your vehicle with the carrier installed. For that you would need the Yakima carrier part # Y62VR which will fit the hitch of your vehicle and then allow you to open the rear door once the carrier has swung out and away. Check out the review video I attached for this as well.

  • Trunk Mount Bike Rack for a 2011 Lexus RX 450h with Rear Spoiler
  • You are correct, you would not want to put weight on the spoiler on your 2011 Lexus RX 450h. But there is a trunk mount rack that you can use that will not be a problem for the spoiler. Take a look at the Hollywood Racks Over-The-Top rack # HRF2. This rack has an additional upper arm piece that moves the top straps up and over the spoiler so no weight is put on it. I have linked a video review of this rack for you. If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that...

  • Will The Thule TopRide Fit My 2010 Lexus RX 450h With A Factory Roof Rack
  • This will not be a problem. All you have to do is move your crossbars forward far enough that you will not get any interference, most of the time you will not have to move them at all. In addition, you can adjust the mounting point for the rearward clamp on this roof bike rack. Once your crossbars have been adjusted, you will be able to install the Thule TopRide Roof Bike Rack for 1 Bike - Fork Mount, part # , on your 2010 Lexus RX 450h without interfering with your hatchback. I have...

  • Can the Prodigy RF Trailer Brake Controller be Used with a 2011 Lexus RX 450h Hybrid
  • The Prodigy RF brake controller # TK94FR requires the 12 volt circuit be active in order for it to work. If your 2011 Lexus RX 450h hybrid model also has a regular vehicle battery and not just the large hybrid battery system then what you can do is run a wire to the 12 volt circuit from the vehicle battery via a 40 amp circuit breaker # PK54540. For wire you can use # 12-1-1. Change the number in the quantity box to the total length of wire you think you will need in feet. I recommend...

  • Fit of Hollywood Racks # HRF2 Over The Top Trunk Mounted Bike Rack on 2015 Volvo V60
  • The Hollywood Racks # HRF2 Over The Top Trunk Mounted Bike Rack is indeed compatible with your 2015 Volvo V60 with a spoiler. I've confirmed this with Hollywood Racks. If you'll be transporting women's bikes or bikes with sharply-angled top tubes, you might also consider a frame adapter bar like part # 64005. The bar spans the distance between the handlebar gooseneck and the seat post, which provides a secondary attachment point for the bike rack. This allows the bike to be carried level,...

  • Trailer Wiring Harness Recommendation for a 2011 Lexus RX450H without Tow Package
  • Sounds like your 2011 Lexus RX450H does not have the tow package so there is a missing harness needed to activate the 4-way wiring. Because of that you would want the Tow Ready Wiring harness part # 118255 that you referenced as it comes with the converter harness needed and will activate the 4-way wiring port.

  • What Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver fit a 2018 Lexus 450hL
  • I may have a solution for you, however I spoke to a contact at Curt. He told me that Curt does not offer a hitch for the 450hL. They can not confirm this hitch works on the 450hL because they have not tested it. The solution I have is a trunk bike rack, I have attached a link to our trunk bike racks that are a fit for your 450hL . I recommend the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 3 Bike Rack # HRF2-3. The reason I recommend this rack is the fact that it can be used on multiple vehicles because...
