Expert Answers about Lexus RX 450h


  • Bike Rack Recommendation for 2016 Lexus RX 450H
  • Due to the sloped rear windshield and larger rear spoiler we don't have any trunk mounted bike racks that fit your 2016 Lexus RX 450h. But we have a better solution with a hitch bike rack. Hitch racks don't touch the vehicle paint or windows, are much more secure, and easier to install. So you'd need a hitch installed first like the Curt Class III Hitch # C73DR and then you could use a hitch rack like the Hollywood Racks Trail Rider # HR200Z which is a easy to use and also very stable rack. I...

  • Does Handsfree Tailgate of 2018 Lexus RX 450h Still Function with Curt Trailer Hitch
  • 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.

  • Recommended Trunk Mount Bike Rack for a 2011 Lexus RX 450h
  • We do not have a trunk rack available for your Lexus with a spoiler. To carry two bikes, I recommend installing a hitch like the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 75676. Then you could choose from a hanging rack like the Thule Camber # TH9058, or a platform rack like the Swagman Semi 4.0 # S64698. I included a couple installation videos and a helpful article for you.

  • What Hitch Bike Rack Do You Recommend for My 2021 Lexus RX 450H?
  • For a great hitch for your 2021 Lexus RX 450h, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C73DR. Not only does this hitch provide you with 525 pounds of maximum tongue weight and 3,500 pounds of gross trailer weight, it also involves a concealed crosstube for a more factory look. As far as a bike rack for the hitch, I recommend the Saris Freedom Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches # SA4412B or the fat bike version # SA4412B-FB (if you have fat...

  • Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendation for 2010 Lexus RX 450 for Bike with Fenders
  • For a bike that has fenders the Thule DoubleTrack Pro XT # TH92BJ is a great option. Reason being that it grabs the bikes at the frame with a very easy to use and effective clamp system instead of needing to grab the bike's tire which a fender would interfere with. For a hitch for your 2010 Lexus RX450H we have the Curt hitch part # C13143 which would work well for the bike rack mentioned and on your vehicle as it is a custom fit.

  • Trailer Hitch and Hitch Bike Carrier Recommendations for 2013 Lexus RX 450h Hybrid
  • We offer three 2-inch Class III hitches for your 2013 Lexus RX 450h and since all share the same general design and weight capacities I suggest the lowest-cost option, which is the Curt hitch # C13143. This hitch installs without drilling using the included fasteners. A video, the written instructions and a helpful article are linked to help you with your installation. The tools required are listed in the instructions; these include mostly basic hand tools and also a torque wrench like...

  • Recommended Bike Rack to Carry 2 Electric Bikes with Alternative Frames and Fenders
  • I do have a recommendation for you but the Kuat NV 2.0, part # NV22G, isn't going to work with your fenders. Wheel mount bike racks rarely work with bikes that have fenders. Instead take a look at the Saris Freedom, part # SA4412B. It has the same 60 pound capacity as the Kuat and hold the bikes by the frame. The cradles that grab the frame are adjustable and can be attached to the bikes at different locations and angles. I've linked a video so you can see how a bike is actually mounted...

  • Hitch and Trailer Wiring Fit for 2017 Lexus RX350
  • The hitch fit for your vehicle will depend on whether you have the RX350 or the RX450h, the hybrid model. The Curt # C13272 you'd mentioned is a fit for the 2017 RX350, non F Sport models. With the factory tow package, use # 118252 for a wiring harness. Without the factory tow package, use # C56217. For a ball mount, use # C45010 and # 19260 for a 1-7/8 and # 63845 for a 2 inch ball. .

  • 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.

  • Roof Cargo Box Recommendations for the Roof of a Tear Trailer
  • Thule, Yakima, and SportRack cargo boxes are made in the USA. Rhino-Rack is an Australian company and Inno is a Japanese company. For gear for 4 people I recommend at least a 16 cubic foot box such as the Thule Pulse Large # TH615, Force XT, # TH6357B, or Motion XT, # TH629707 for silver or # TH629706 for black. From Yakima you could use the SkyBox # Y95AV. Or another option (though it is 14 cubic feet) is the RocketBox # Y07192. From SportRack I recommend either the Horizon # SR7016...

  • Transmission Cooler Availability for a 2013 Lexus RX450H
  • As long as the transmission on your 2013 Lexus RX450H has external lines that run to the radiator or other cooler the part # D13402 would fit and install. To pick out a cooler you just need to go with the largest one available that will fit the available space in front of your radiator. This cooler measures 13" Wide x 6-7/16" tall x 2" deep.

  • Trailer Hitch for Use with a Bike Rack on a 2015 Lexus RX 450h
  • For your 2015 Lexus RX 450h I recommend Curt Class III trailer hitch # C13143. This hitch has a 2 inch receiver and it is rated for 600 pounds tongue weight so it can easily handle a laded bike rack. I have included a link to a video showing an example installation for you.

  • Recommended Brake Controller For 2010 Lexus RX450R With Tow Package
  • On your 2010 Lexus RX450h, there is not a wire run for you from the dash to the rear connector. I recommend using the Tekonsha Prodigy RF Wireless Trailer Brake Controller - 1 to 3 Axles - Proportional # TK94FR you mentioned. This is a proportional brake controller that will apply the brakes on your trailer at the same time and with the same amount of force as you hit the brake pedal in your Lexus. This controller automatically adjust trailer braking based on deceleration. The unit...

  • Which 2-Bike Rack Is Best For 2021 Lexus RX450H?
  • There currently is not a trunk mounted bike rack for the 2021 Lexus RX 450H with a spoiler, but you can use a hitch mounted bike rack, which is actually my preferred method. First, if you don't have a hitch you'll need one: Curt # C73DR. Then for the bike rack, I highly recommend the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE2 # HR1450Z. The weight capacity is 50lbs per bike and the max tire size is 3", which means you can haul most heavy fat bikes without an issue. This carrier is very popular...

  • Available Ways to Transport Bikes with 2020 Lexus RX 450h
  • As of right now (December 2019) we are still waiting on hitch fits to be released for the 2020 Lexus RX 450h and we don't have confirmation if the 2019 model hitches will carry over to the 2020 models. Hopefully they do but we also looked up the 2020 models and some changes were made to the vehicle so it looks very possible they will have to come up with a new fit. Are you looking for a way to transport bikes with the vehicle? Were you planning on a bike rack with a hitch? We have some...

  • Hidden Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2022 Lexus RX 450h
  • Yes we do have a hidden hitch that fits your 2022 Lexus RX 450h with the Draw Tite part # DT58GR. This hitch has a removable lower section so when you aren't using it can be removed and you'd never know a hitch was installed! Can't get more hidden than that. If you needed trailer wiring too you'd want the ZCI kit part # 119250KIT which doesn't require any splicing to install and instead uses sensors to connect to the vehicle wiring.

  • Best Value Tire Chain Recommendation for 2013 Lexus RX 450H
  • For your 2013 Lexus RX 450H that has the tire size of 235-60-18 your best option would be the Titan chains part # TC2319 which are a great value, are easy to install, and will provide excellent traction.

  • 2020 Lexus RX 450h Platform Bike Rack With Swing Away Capability
  • I can recommend a hitch platform rack for your 2020 Lexus RX 450h. If you want a swing away hitch platform bike rack you will suffer a weight penalty. The adapter you need to enable your rack to swing away will add anywhere from 36lbs to 45lbs of additional weight. My recommendation for a light weight hitch platform bike rack is the Kuat NV 2.0 Base Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount - Matte Black, part # SH22G. This rack weighs 32lbs and it has a maximum weight limit of...

  • Bike Carrying Options for 2012 Lexus RX450H
  • Beginning with a hitch, I would recommend the Draw-Tite part # 75676. The Swagman XTC-2 is a reasonably-priced platform-type rack that can carry up to two bikes. The rack is very highly rated by our customers. An anti-rattle threaded hitch pin is included, but an optional locking hitch pin/cable lock is also available as part # S64031. For 4 bikes, Swagman offers the XTC-4, part # S64665. The hitch/cable lock is included. Although a roof mounted bike rack like the Yakima front loader...

  • 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.
