  • What Trunk Mounted Bike Rack is Recommended for a 2015 Lexus RX 350
  • Unfortunately, the Hollywood Racks is not a fit for your RX 350. Instead, as long as you do not have a spoiler, I can recommend the Saris Bones EX 3 Bike Rack # SA803 to be mounted to your trunk. If you do have the rear spoiler you would need to add a hitch to your Lexus in order to carry bikes. I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish - Class III - 2" # e22TR and a bike rake like the Thule Camber # TH9058. I've added links to view how both...

  • Does Trailer Hitch for 2014 Lexus RX 350 Fit 2017 Lexus RX 350
  • The Curt # C13143 trailer hitch receiver does fit your 2014 Lexus RX 350 but not the 2017. Instead for the 2017 you need part # C13272. With that being said if you also need a wiring harness and you don't have the tow package then part # 118255 works for both model years. If you do have the tow package then you want part # 118252 for either year.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch And Wiring for 2016 Lexus RX 450H F Sport Model
  • I called my contact at Curt and asked about your 2016 Lexus RX 450H F Sport. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver, part # C13282 is confirmed as a fit. This is a Class lll hitch and it has a 2-inch receiver opening. Per the instructions the lower rear fascia needs to be removed and trimmed and then re-installed. If you plan on doing some towing you might be interested in 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...

  • Fit of Draw-Tite Class II Hitch # 36416 on 2009 Lexus ES350
  • Curt offers a Class II hitch, part # C12343 that is a confirmed fit for your 2009 Lexus ES350. Curt tells me that this hitch will also fit a 2009 Camry. If you click the link I've provided, you can see an install video. At one time, Draw-Tite considered the hitch a fit for the Lexus ES 350. However, they no longer consider the hitch a fit and do not recommend attempting to install it on that vehicle.

  • Recommended Roof Rack for a 2018 Lexus GX 460
  • Thank you for the photos! It looks like your 2018 Lexus GX 460 has the flush mounted rails. We have some roof rack options that fit your vehicle and have parts that could potentially fit other SUVs but I would need to know what they are to confirm fits. Typically the crossbars and sometimes the legs can be reused but that would just depend on what you end up leasing in the future. For more of a universal system I recommend the Rhino-Rack roof rack which uses 3 of their 49" Vortex Aero...

  • Roof Rack & Kayak Carriers For 2 Kayaks On A 2014 Lexus IS 250
  • I recommend getting the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero System for your 2014 Lexus IS 250. It'll come with the 46 inch bars # RRVA118B-2 the 2500 Series Legs # RRRLKVA and the custom fit kit # DK380. It's fairly simple to install so I've included a video to help! As far as kayak carriers go, I like the J-Style Carriers like this one from Rhino-Rack # S512-S512X. You can fit kayaks on top of your roof easily. This will be best to center it on your vehicle to make it just as easy to load from either...

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2020 Lexus NX 300
  • To add a hitch to your 2020 Lexus NX 300, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch item # C13337. This hitch is custom fit for the non-hybrid NX 300 models and bolts to your Lexus with included hardware. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 3,500 lbs towing capacity and a 525 lbs maximum tongue weight. This hitch is made in the USA and Curt offers a lifetime warranty on their hitches so these are extremely durable and reliable. It has a glossy black powder coat finish that...

  • Will the Thule Passage 2 Trunk Mount Bike Rack TH910XT Fit on a 2008 Lexus RX350
  • The Thule Passage trunk mount bike rack # TH910XT will fit your 2008 Lexus RX 350. It will not damage the rear hatch but to open the hatch you will need to remove the bike rack first. This is because the rack could fall if you tried to open the hatch and the hatch is not made to have the extra stress on it. I have included links to the instructions and a video of this bike rack for you. If you will be carrying womens, childrens, or alternative frame bikes I recommend using the bike adapter...

  • Does Curt Hitch part # C13394 Fit Lexus RX 350L or Toyota Highlander
  • For your 2018 Lexus RX350L the Curt hitch part # C13394 is a confirmed fit. Since your vehicle shares the same platform as a Toyota Highlander this hitch also fits that vehicle. Since the Highlander is a much more common vehicle we've had the opportunity to install this hitch on one of them but not a Lexus. The fit is the exact same though.

  • Wiring Harness Compatible with 2015 Lexus GX 460
  • The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package - 7-Way and 4-Flat Trailer Connectors # 118262 is only confirmed to fit for 2010- 2014 models of the GX 460.

This does require running the power wire to your battery, so I've attached an article to assist. Then if you...

  • Trailer Wiring Harness to Fit 2017 Lexus RX 450h
  • The Curt # 56083 is confirmed to fit the 2016 Lexus RX 450h but unfortunately not the 2017. For your 2017 you'll need Curt # C59236. This harness has a powered converter that connects to the battery to protect your vehicle's wiring. It installs using quick-splice connectors. I've attached an install video on a BMW that you can look at. The install process will be fairly similar even though it's a different vehicle. If you don't already have a trailer hitch, the Curt # C13282 is a...

  • Does Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver 75540 Install On 2020 Lexus RX 350 F Sport Require Trimming?
  • You should have a simple bolt on installation for the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75540 on your 2020 RX 350 F Sport. While we have not installed the receiver on an F-Sport trim in our shop we have received several reviews mentioning how easy the installation was with no cutting required.

  • What Trunk-Mount Bike Carriers Will Fit a 2004 Lexus RX 330 SUV
  • My research indicates the Lexus RX300 midsize crossover was produced for model years 1999 through 2003. In 2004 the vehicle was updated to a new version, the RX330. If your Lexus is the 2004 model year it should then be the RX330 model. Thule and Hollywood Racks make a number of trunk-mount bike carriers for the RX330 that can be seen using the link provided. Please note that when a trunk-mount bike carrier is in place you will not be able to use your rear wiper. Also, only 2-bike carriers...

  • Can Hitch Stabilizer be Used With Convert-A-Ball Cushioned Ball Mount For 2" Hitch
  • Good question, and you can definitely still use a hitch stabilizer with the cushioned Convert-A-Ball Ball Mount for 2" Hitches # AMSC6HD. Even with a stabilizer there is still going to be some play in the hitch, so combining it with the cushioning of the Convert-A-Ball is going to be the best way overall to reduce any bounce or rattling, and I recommend going with the Brophy Stabilizer Clamp # RSCP. You can secure the ball mount to your hitch with Hitch Lock # e98880 and for a hitch ball...

  • Will the Prodigy RF Brake Controller Fit a 2011 Lexus LX 570
  • Yes, you can use the Prodigy RF brake controller # TK94FR on your 2011 Lexus LX 570. The Prodigy RF only needs a functioning 7-Way trailer connector (specifically the 12 volt circuit and brake signal circuits) to work with a vehicle. It looks like your vehicle comes with a factory 7-Way connector so you will be good to go! Should you ever need to replace the 7-Way I recommend # HM11143910 because it will just plug right into the vehicle wiring where the original 7-Way plugged in.
