Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2012 Lexus IS 250
Question:
Dear eTrailer Expert, will the Thule TH990XT and the Kuat Sherpa S101 fit if I use the C11372 on my 2012 Lexus IS 250? Thanks in advance for the expert advice!

Expert Reply:
The Curt hitch part # C11372 has been confirmed as a fit for your 2012 Lexus IS 250 sedan so it would work well for you.
The Thule DoubleTrack TH990XT that you referenced is compatible with Class I hitches like the # C11372. The same goes for the Kuat Sherpa part # SH12G.
The two racks are pretty similar, but the Sherpa is a nicer rack as it will only touch bikes at the tire instead of the frame like the DoubleTrack. This is an especially nice feature if the bikes are carbon framed.
