  • 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.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2017 Lexus RX 350 F-Sport
  • The customer service representative you spoke to is correct. We used to list the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13272 you were looking at as a fit for the 2017 Lexus RX 350 F-Sport, but after multiple fitment issues from customers we changed the fit in our system and do not recommend this hitch for the F-sport models as it may have fitment issues. Instead I recommend going with the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # 391LXRX16 if you are planning on using the trailer...

  • Recommended Cargo Basket to Fit Next To 36 Cargo Box on 60 Long Crossbars
  • I may have a solution for you, but the clamps on the Yakima OffGrid # Y07138-08 are roughly 8" from the sides. Additionally because this box is 40" wide and you're adding a 36" cargo box next to it, you would need at least 78" of bar space to ensure that both items are fully supported by the crossbars on your 2013 Lexus LX570. You don't want part of the basket hanging over unsupported as it's going to create an unstable situation on your roof. Instead, I recommend using the Yakima SkinnyWarrior...

  • 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...

  • Recommended Roof Rack for 2011 Lexus ES350 and Porta-Bote Portable Folding Boat

This will allow you to secure your porta-bote to your crossbars.

  • What Hitch Rack Other Than the Thule EasyFold XT will Work for My 2 56-Pounds E-Bikes?
  • For a more economical option than the Thule EasyFold XT # TH903202 that still has the weight capacity you need to transport your two 56-pound electric bikes, I recommend the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount # HLY84FR. The Sport Rider SE includes the same frame-mount style as the EasyFold XT that will help ensure that you don't damage your fenders if you were to choose a bike rack that had wheel mounts.

  • Which Hitch Receiver Will Allow Kick Sensor Functionality On My 2021 Lexus NX 300?
  • I have confirmed with Draw-Tite that # 75956 is actually not a fit for your vehicle. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Class II 1-1/4" # C12172 that you mentioned is a confirmed fit for your vehicle, however, I recommend going with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Class III - 2" # C13337 instead. I recommend this receiver because it is 2", which will offer a larger variety of accessories and applications that can be mounted to it. This is confirmed to work with kick sensors, so that will not...

  • Can A Motorcycle Be Carried on the Back of a 2016 Lexus RX 350
  • The tongue and towing weight capacity will always be limited by the lowest rated competent. The trailer hitches are tested independently of the vehicle so they are usually rated much higher but if the vehicle is lower that is the figure you must abide by. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13272 for example has a 600 lb tongue weigh rating but if the vehicle is only rated for 350 lbs that is the total tongue weight capacity you must abide by. In regards to leverage, you are correct...

  • What is Towing Capaicty of 2012 Lexus RX350
  • The overall towing capacity of a vehicle is only as high as the lowest rated component as it's the weak point that would fail first. So while we have hitches for your 2012 Lexus RX 350 like the Curt # C13143 which have higher towing capacities you'd still be limited to the 2,000 lb figure you mentioned. If you need trailer wiring the # 118255 would be a great option as well that installs easily and is reliable.

  • Hidden Hitch Recommendation for a 2004 Lexus RX330
  • All of the hitches available for your 2004 Lexus RX 330 will have the same basic appearance. The only one that is slightly different would be the Curt Hitch # 13530. This hitch has the safety chain loops below the hitch opening whereas the Draw-Tite # 75153 hitch has the safety chain loops above the hitch opening which I think makes them a little less visible. Check out the installation video and installation instructions I attached also. To complete your towing setup you may also be...

  • What J-Style Kayak Carrier do You Recommend for My 34-Inch Wide Hobie Passport?
  • Sorry to hear about your DownLoader # MPG114MD. From my research on your Hobie Passport, it is a 34-inch wide hull at its widest point. For a J-style carrier for that width, the best option is the Kuat Class 2 Kayak Carrier # C2R1B. I confirmed with my tech at Yakima that this carrier can accommodate a 34-inch wide hull. If you are concerned about the height of your kayak (from the bottom of the boat to the top surface of the boat), the cradles on the BowDown are 5-1/2 inches wide. As...
