Expert Answers about Lexus IS 350


  • Are Rhino-Rack Fit Kits Tower/Location Specific
  • Hi Ethan, The fit kit pads you're referring to are all specific and would need to placed on the correct leg in order to fit the contours of the vehicle it's being mounted to. If you can tell me the year/make/model of the vehicle you're wanting to mount them to I can see what fit kit and crossbar size is needed for it.

  • Will the Curt Hitch C11389 Fit a 2024 Lexus IS 500?
  • Hey Masa. The Curt item # C11389 will not fit a 2024 Lexus IS 500 F Sport Performance. This hitch is designed for the following vehicles: 2016 - 2016 Lexus IS 200t 2014 - 2015 Lexus IS 250 Sedan 2016 - 2020 Lexus IS 300 2016 - 2021 Lexus IS 350 2014 - 2015 Lexus IS 350 Sedan 2017 - 2017 Lexus IS Turbo I checked with our vendors and there is no hitch available for a 2024 Lexus IS 500.

  • Solution for Trailer Hitch Receiver on 2021 Lexus IS 300 AWD
  • The Curt # C11389 is confirmed to fit the 2021 IS 350 and the 2020 IS 300 but not your 2021 IS 300 AWD. Unfortunately, nobody makes an aftermarket hitch that fits the 2021 Lexus IS 300. This means the only solution is to take the Curt Weld-On 2" Receiver # E17 to a local fabricator. They will be able to fashion a custom hitch for your vehicle.

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2022 Lexus IS 350
  • It looks like the Lexus IS 350 is the same generation from the model year 2021 to 2022 so since the Curt Hitch # C11389 fits the 2021 model you shouldn't have any issues for the 2022 model either. If you let me know what you plan on using the hitch for I'd be more than happy to make a recommendation for you!

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for Carrying E-Bike with 2019 Lexus IS 350
  • For your 2019 Lexus IS 350 the hitch I recommend is the Curt part # C11389 as it is the easiest to install option we have and will do a great job carrying an e-bike rack for your heavier bike. I attached a picture of what the hitch will look like installed on a similar vehicle as well. For a bike rack there's only one great option for carrying an e-bike in a lower capacity 1-1/4 inch hitch like the Curt I mentioned, but it's also the best option so it works out. The rack I recommend is...

  • How do Determine Ground Clearance for Curt Class I Trailer Hitch # C11372 on a 2008 Lexus IS 350
  • I do have some information that will help us determine the ground clearance you can expect with the Curt Class I Trailer Hitch, # C11372, on your 2008 Lexus IS 350, however, we have not had the chance to install this hitch on that vehicle yet, so we do not have an exact measurement. I can tell you that the overall height of this hitch is 9-3/4 inches (see photos). If you measure from the bottom of your vehicle frame rails, just above the muffler, 9-3/4 inches toward the ground, you will...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2014 Lexus IS 350
  • As you mentioned in your question, there are two trailer hitches available that are confirmed to fit your 2014 Lexus IS 350; the Draw-Tite # 24923 and the Curt # C11389. These are both Class I trailer hitches that will provide you with a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening and the same 2,000 pound towing and 200 pound tongue weight capacity. These two hitches are also extremely similar with regards to their physical design and where they will mount beneath your Lexus IS 350. There really is no...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for a 2019 Lexus IS 350
  • I recommend using the Curt Trailer Hitch # C11389 over the Draw-Tite # 24923 for your 2019 Lexus IS 350 because Curt hitches tend to have better welding and a thicker powder coat which contributes to a longer lasting trailer hitch. Attached are the written instructions as well as a sample photo of what this trailer hitch looks like installed for you to check out. Most people who get a trailer installed on an IS 350 plan on using it for a bike rack. If this is you then I recommend using...

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver For Carrying a Bike Rack With a 2021 Lexus IS 350 F-Sport
  • Currently the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11389 and Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24923 are the only receivers we have confirmed to fit your 2021 Lexus IS 350 F-Sport. There is not a hidden style receiver available for your Lexus. I do prefer the Draw-Tite over the Curt as it does not require the use of a Stabilizing Strap # 18050 when using a bike rack. For a bike rack I recommend the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 Bike Rack # SH12G. This lightweight aluminum rack only weighs 32lbs...

  • 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.

  • Bike Rack Recommendation for 2011 Lexus IS 350 Convertible
  • I have a solution to allow you to carry a bike rack with your 2011 Lexus IS 350 but there are no hitch fits for your vehicle. Instead you would want the Hollywood Racks Expedition part # HRF6-2 which is a confirmed fit for the convertible models. I attached a review video for this rack for you to check out as well. If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to...

I recommend a 4-piece set with dark tint part # WT82759. All sets feature durable 3mm-thick acrylic construction.

  • Hitch Options And Bike Rack For 1-1/4 And 2 Hitches
  • For your 2016 Lexus IS350 I suggest the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Part # C11389. As for your 2017 Acura MDX the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Part # C13146 will be a great option. Now for a platform style bike rack, I suggest the Thule Doubletrack Bike Rack for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches Part # TH990XT. This will fit both hitches on each of the vehicles. There is an adapter sleeve that will need to be removed when installing on your Lexus. It provides locking frame mount arms, and also has...

  • Does Curt or Draw Tite Hitch for 2016 Lexus IS 350 Have Better Ground Clearance
  • Curt actually no longer requires the use of the stabilizer straps when carrying non-supported loads like bike racks with their hitches. That said the Draw Tite hitch part # 24923 that also fits your 2016 Lexus IS 350 does sit up a little higher so you would get slightly better ground clearance.

  • How to Determine Ground Clearance on a 2015 Lexus IS 350 After Hitch Install
  • All of the hitches you referenced have about the same dimensions. We haven't had the chance to install any of them so while I can't give you the exact dimensions you are looking for I can help you determine it. From the mounting surface of all of the hitches down to the bottom of the hitch opening the hitches measure 9-1/2 inches. If you measure from the frame of your vehicle down 9-1/2 inches that is where the hitch will sit. From that point you can measure to the ground and you will...

  • What is Your Recommended Roof Rack and Bike Rack for 2024 IS350?
  • Hello Alec, No, the # C11372 fit the Lexus IS 350 through 2012. The last year that they made a hitch for the IS 350 was 2021. There might have not been a high demand for them, or the IS 350 is no longer rated for a hitch. I do have a different option for you. Your best bet is going to be to get a roof rack like the Yakima BaseLine Roof Rack # Y88XB. The # Y88XB is a kitted part number, so it will come with everything you need to get the roof rack on your vehicle. Then you will want a...

  • Platform Bike Rack Recommendation for 2006 Lexus IS350 with Curt Hitch Installed
  • I have a similar bike rack that will work well for you, but the Dr. Tray part # Y02474 that you referenced will only fit Class II 1-1/4 inch trailer hitches and the Curt hitch part # C11372 is a Class I hitch. Instead, check out the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack # KU74FR as it is a similar platform bike rack that hold your bikes by the wheels, is confirmed to fit your class I hitch, and can carry up to two 40 lb bikes. This also has plenty of clearance to get past the rear bumper of the...
