• Correct Trailer Hitch for a 2015 Lexus IS 250 C
  The available trailer option for a 2015 Lexus IS 250 C is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11047. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11389 is for sedan models, not the convertible so it will not work. The former however features an easy bolt-on install with the same size opening and hitch rating.

• Recommended Lightweight Bike Rack for 2013 Lexus IS250
  The Kuat Sherpa 2.0 # SH12B bike rack you looked at is an excellent bike rack that's very easy to use. At around 30 lbs, it's one of the lightest bike racks of its type we offer. Platform bike racks like the Sherpa are favored by many because the bikes typically don't need to be lifted as high for loading as a hanging type bike rack, so loading the bike is easier for somebody with limited upper body strength. If a super-light weight rack is of the utmost importance, Kuat makes a hanging...

• What Hitch Bike Rack do You Recommend for My 56-Pound E-Bike on My 2011 Lexus IS 250c?
  I have a great bike rack solution for you. For transporting a 56-pound e-bike on your 2011 Lexus IS 250c (convertible), you will be able to use a bike rack. However, unfortunately, given the specs on how our available Curt Hitch - 1-1/4" # C11047 installs, the 5-3/4" of shank length of the Swagman Current # S64678 is not long enough to clear the rear bumper. Also, even if the shank was long enough, the Current is only rated for Class II 1-1/4 inch hitches. The # C11047 is a Class I hitch...

• Bike Racks Suitable for Use with Curt Class I Hitch C11047 on 2010 Lexus IS250C Convertible
  A light-duty Class I hitch such as the Curt # C11047 that you recently purchased (thank you for your business) is capable of handling the weight of two bikes, but no more. Even if a given rack can hold 3 bikes, the hitch itself and the point on the vehicle where it attaches do not have the strength to hold more than 2 bikes. You can use one of the 2-bike hitch mount carriers shown on the link provided. All of these will fit your 1-1/4-inch Class I receiver. I suggest you go with a platform...

• Trailer Hitch for a 2012 Lexus IS 250C Convertible
  For the 2012 Lexus IS 250C convertible we do have a trailer hitch that will fit but # C11372 that you referenced will not fit. The hitch that will fit is # C11047. I have included a link to the installation details for you. If you plan on doing some towing, first consult the owners manual to make sure the vehicle can tow and for its towing capacity. For a ball mount use # C45522 and pin and clip # PC2. For a ball use # 19256 for a 1-7/8 inch or # 19258 for a 2 inch. And for trailer wiring...

• Best Trailer Hitch Receiver for a 2012 Lexus IS 350 Convertible
  I do have an option for you but the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11047 is not a confirmed fit for your 2012 Lexus IS 350 convertible. Instead, you will want to use the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11372 which is a Class I hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver tube opening. I called my contact at Curt to confirm this as well. If you can tell me what you will be using the hitch for I would be glad to offer some additional recommendations for you.

• How Far Under the Rear Bumper of a 2011 Lexus IS 250 C will the Curt Hitch C11047 Sit
  I can tell you how to figure out how far under the rear bumper the hitch opening will be when you install the Curt Hitch # C11047 on your 2011 Lexus IS 250C, but I don't have the exact number you need. From the install holes of this hitch that are closest to the rear of the vehicle to the hitch opening this hitch measures exactly 5 inches. If you find those holes on your vehicle and then measure 5 inches towards the back of the vehicle you will know exactly where the hitch will end up....

• Does Trailer Hitch # C11047 Fit 2013 Lexus IS 250C
  The Curt hitch part # C11047 is a fit for your 2013 Lexus IS 250 convertible. It would work great for carrying a bike rack like the Highland Sportwing part # 5801200 or the BikeWing-2 part # VME-V2 which is very similar. Curt requires the use of their stabilizer strap part # 18050 when using their hitch to carry a non-supported load like a bike rack. I attached a review video for you to check for the strap as well.

• Trailer Hitch Recommendation For 2015 Lexus IS 250 Convertible
  We do have an option for a trailer hitch on the 2015 Lexus IS 250 convertible. I recommend Class I Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11047. When you mention lightweight if you are referring to the actual weight of the hitch, the Curt hitch weighs about 19 lbs. If you are referring to the weight capacity of the hitch, it can handle 200 lbs of tongue weight. The Class I hitches are mostly used for bike racks on the Lexus so you would want to keep the weight of the bike rack and the bikes...

• Recommended Hitch for a 2013 Lexus IS 250
  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...

• Is There a Difference Between the Curt Trailer Hitches on the 2011 Lexus IS250 Sedan and Convertible
  According to Curt the # C11372 is the correct fit hitch for the 2011 Lexus IS250 all Sedans non-convertible. This Curt hitch fits Lexus IS250 models from 2006 to 2013. If you have the convertible model, then the Curt hitch # C11047 is the confirmed fit. The difference between the two hitches has to do with the width of the mounting arms of the hitch. The convertible model is a different length when mounting under the car to allow for the convertible top to retract in to the truck area...

• Best Way to Carry 4 Bikes on a 2012 Lexus IS250C Convertible
  This particular instance has to do with the way that a Class I hitch, like the Curt Class I Round Tube Receiver, part # C11047, is structured and the way that the leverage applied by the weight of the bikes will affect a light duty hitch. Class I hitches are only intended for use to carry 2 bikes because putting weight further back on the shank of the bike rack will apply undue force to the hitch and the rack itself, causing the shank of the bike to possibly bend and fail because of the...
