The hitch I would recommend for your 2013 Lexus GS 350 non-F Sport is the Draw Tite Hitch part # 36535. This hitch would do great carrying a bike rack and doesn't require a stabilizer strap like the Curt hitch does.
I attached a video of what a hitch will look like installed on your vehicle. Basically the very bottom of the lower bumper cover will need to be trimmed slightly to accommodate the hitch opening.
The Swagman XTC2, part # S64670 is one of the most popular racks because it's... view full answer...
For your 2009 Lexus GS350 there are only Class I hitches available like the Curt # C11372. That means that the version of the T2 Pro that you have ( # TH83JV) would not be able to be carried since it is for Class III 2 inch hitches.
Instead you would have to go with the 1-1/4 inch version of the T2 which is part # TH23JV which would be compatible and would clear easily.
Curt requires the use of their stabilizer strap part # 18050 when using their hitch to carry a non-supported load like... view full answer...
For your 2007 Lexus GS 350 the Curt hitch part # C11372 is a confirmed fit and would work well for doing some light towing. You have to use the ball mount # C45521 which this hitch. For hitch balls we have the part # A-82 for a 2 inch ball or part # A-80 for a 1-7/8 inch ball.
For trailer wiring you then would want the # C59236 which is a confirmed fit. view full answer...
Curt trailer hitch # C11366 will fit your 2014 Lexus GS 350 all-wheel drive.
If you want to use the hitch for an accessory such as a bike rack or cargo carrier then you have to make sure the accessory is rated for use with a Class I trailer hitch. Also, with a bike rack, you are limited to 2 bikes maximum on a Class I hitch.
Curt also says you have to use stabilization strap # 18050 when using this hitch for any non-trailer load (such as a bike rack or cargo carrier) per their warranty... view full answer...
We only have one trailer hitch confirmed to fit your 2008 Lexus GS 350 but it is a custom fit so no drilling is required for installation. I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # C11372. For your bike rack, you will simply want to make sure you have a carrier compatible with a Class I hitch because they have a more shallow receiver.
I've attached a link to the bike rack options for Class I hitches and you will want to note that even if you have a... view full answer...
For a heavier (50 pound) electric bike that is easy to load on your vehicle, I recommend a hitch rack. For the rack itself, a great option is the Yakima OnRamp Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 1-1/4" Hitches - Frame Mount # Y96FR. The OnRamp has a maximum per-bike weight capacity of 66-pounds per bike and includes an integrated ramp that allows for you to roll the bike onto the securing platform without lifting the bike off the ground. Another great feature of the OnRamp is the securing... view full answer...
Yes, you can absolutely connect the CTEK MULTI US 7002 12V Universal Battery Charger # CTEK56353 to your Lexus and leave it on for 2-1/2 months. Once the charging mode switches to maintenance charging, the battery will receive a pulse from the charger only when the voltage sinks. This will keep the battery in good shape while in storage and it can be left connected for months at a time.
You will not have an issue with the car being under a cover and inside your garage. I just recommend... view full answer...
The roof rack I suggest for your 2009 Lexus GS 350 is the Rhino-Rack Vortex. You'll need:
46 inch Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA118B-2 (black) or # RRVA118S-2 (silver)
2500 Series Legs # RRRLKVA
Fit Kit # DK204
These are great aerodynamic bars that include plastic lock cores. You can upgrade to metal locks if you'd like, # RRVA-LEC4.
We don't have any load extenders that will fit a 1-1/4 inch hitch receiver but to carry the kayak I suggest the Rhino-Rack Nautic # RR571. These saddles... view full answer...
I have a different trailer hitch receiver option for you, but the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11372 you were looking at is only a confirmed fit for the 2007-2011 Lexus GS 350 and as such will not fit your 2013 Lexus GS 350 F-Sport AWD. I was unable to find the picture you mentioned.
For your vehicle you will need to go with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11366 instead which is a confirmed fir for your 2013 GS 350 F-Sport AWD. This hitch has the same 200lb tongue weight rating and... view full answer...
