Expert Reply:

With the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12142 installed on your 2017 Jeep Renegade Trailhawk you will have roughly 10-1/4" clearance.

Since the ground clearance will be very similar to that of the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 76021 you had looked at I recommend going with the # 76021. The reason for this is it has a 2" receiver which is always our recommendation when available due to there being quite a few more accessories available for this size receiver.

If you are planning on towing a trailer with your Renegade you will need a vehicle wiring harness # 118651 along with a hitch ball, ball mount, and hitch pin and clip which can all be found in the etrailer Ball Mount Kit # 989900.

I included installation videos for each of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.

For your 2018 Lexus IS 350 the Draw Tite hitch part #24923 is a confirmed fit and would be the way to go. Unlike the Curt equivalent for your vehicle it does not require a stabilizer strap when carrying a bike rack so it's the best choice.
