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... view full answer...
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. view full answer...
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... view full answer...
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. view full answer...
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... view full answer...
There isn't a way to order Blaylock wheel, coupler, and hitch locks keyed a like but we do have other lock sets that are keyed alike. However they do not include a wheel lock. Set # 3794DAT includes a coupler lock, latch lock, and hitch locks for both 1-1/4 and 2 inch hitches. Set # 2848DAT is similar but drops the coupler lock.
If trailer theft is a problem in your area you might want to consider Linxup GPS Tracking Device # 300-AT3-S so that even if the trailer is stolen it can be tracked... view full answer...
We have adjustable ball mounts like the B and W Tow and Stow part # BWTS10037B which allow to have a two different ball sizes and can adjust the rise to up to 5-1/2 inches or the drop down to 5 inches. view full answer...
The spoiler on your 2012 Lexus RX 450h is going to prevent a trunk mount bike rack from being installed. The best option would be a trailer hitch. However, you will need to consult the lease agreement and the dealership from which the vehicle was leased to determine if you can install a hitch.
If you can install a trailer hitch, I recommend the Draw-Tite hitch # 75676. There is no drilling to install the hitch but you would need to trim or remove a rubber air deflector/fascia to install... view full answer...
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... view full answer...
To install the Prodigy RF Brake Controller part # TK94FR that you referenced all you will need is a 7-way with the 12 volt circuit active.
For that you would only need the part # 37185. The black wire of the this adapter would need to get run to the 12 volt terminal of the battery of your vehicle through a circuit breaker like part # 9510. You would want to use 10 gauge wire like the part # 10-1-1 sold by the foot. For a ring terminal to attach to the battery you would want the part #... view full answer...
The etrailer Class III hitch part # e49KR is confirmed as a fit for your 2018 Lexus RX 450H so it would work well for you.
For trailer wiring you'd then want the part # 118255 which is a confirmed fit as well.
If you wanted to do 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 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip,... view full answer...
As of yet (July 2017) Yakima does not have a roof rack fit for your 2017 Lexus RX 450h, but I did call them and my contact said that they will be finished testing and have a fit in a month or two.
Because of this I recommend going with the Malone AirFlow2 # MPG215 which is confirmed to fit your raised side rails. This roof rack option uses Aero style Crossbars which will help to reduce wind noise and drag. These will install quickly and come with built-in locks to secure the roof rack... view full answer...
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. view full answer...
The Curt hitch part # C13143 is a confirmed fit for your 2012 Lexus 450h. This will be a great choice for a hitch. For the amount of salt you are going to get in the winter in Wisconsin there really is no way to totally stop all rust. But what you can do is make sure to spray off the salt as often as possible on the hitch, and if you see a scratch in the paint of the hitch use spray paint to paint over it before rust develops.
Also if you find rust try to sand it off as quick as possible... view full answer...
The Yakima HitchSki, part # Y02418 is designed to work best with the straight arm Yakima carriers. Its two central bars are about 24 inches apart, and being straight may not sit correctly on the raised curve of the Thule racks.
Thule does make the Tram, part # TH9033 that is designed to be compatible with most Thule four bike racks, and will have a much better fit for your rack. view full answer...
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... view full answer...
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. view full answer...
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. view full answer...
A Lexus dealer should be able to tell you how the vehicle's equipped if you provided them with the VIN. You can also determine this for yourself using a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 on the trailer wiring connector located behind the bumper under the driver's side of the vehicle at the rear (see provided photo). Have a helper activate each turn signal function as you probe the pins in the connector under the vehicle. If the plug is active, all you'll need is the # 118252. If it's not... view full answer...
The Thule T2 Pro X bike rack part # TH23GC is a really nice bike rack that fits 1-1/4 inch and 2 inch hitches. It also only touches the bikes by the tires so it's not going to potentially scratch the bike frames. It's a pretty popular with people who own new luxury vehicles too since it's really nice and looks sleek. view full answer...
