Recommended Hitch for a 2013 Lexus IS 250

Question:

Greetings. I have a 2013 Lexus is250 convertible. I want to have a 2 inch receptor trailer hitch installed because the bike rack I want is only made in the 2 inch size. Is this possible? Thank you.

I have a solution for you but no one makes a hitch with a 2" receiver for your 2013 Lexus IS 250 convertible. The only option is going to be the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver item # C11047. This hitch is custom fit and bolts directly to your Lexus with included hardware. It has a 1-1/4" receiver for which there are many options for bike racks. Given the tongue weight capacity of this hitch I do not recommend using an adapter to try to make a 2" bike rack fit.

For a reliable 1-1/4" bike rack, I recommend the Hollywood Racks Trail Rider Bike Rack for 2 Bikes item # HR200Z.
