Recommendation For Hitch Bike Rack on 2012 Lexus CT200h
Question:
I should soon have my new little Lexus and want to be prepared to carry my bike. I prefer a hitch mounted carrier. What would be your suggestions for something convenient that will protect both bike and car? Thanks! Rack for Lexus CT200h 2012

Expert Reply:
To carry a hitch bike rack on your 2012 Lexus CT200h you will need to have a hitch like the Curt Class I 1-1/4 Inch Hitch, part # C11200. This is a Class I hitch with a 200-lb tongue weight capacity. The Lexus CT200h can only use a Class I hitch and that will limit you to a maximum of two bikes. I am including a link to the installation instructions on the Curt hitch.
The Kuat Transfer 2 Bike Platform Rack # KU74FR is an excellent hitch bike rack that will fit your Class I hitch. It will carry 2 bikes and has a maximum weight capacity of 80 lbs. The step-through design and wheel mounted design preserves both your bike's finish and your back loading the bikes onto your CT200h.
