It sounds like you have the older Thule Vertex or Apex swing bike rack that had the cradles spaced closer together. The Thule Apex Swing XT # TH9027XT is an upgraded version that has an increased spacing of 7" for the cradles. While this does help to make loading bikes easier, if you're trying to load up 4 adult bikes you will still have a bit of a time loading them up.
I recommend using a platform bike rack like the Hollywood Racks Destination # HR4000 which can hold 35 lb bikes and then... view full answer...
Yes, the Swagman XTC2 TILT Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount # S64671 is a great economical rack to use on your 2021 Lexus RX 350 with a 2-inch hitch receiver. As far as installing and removing your hitch to your vehicle, all it requires is for you to slide the shank of the rack into the hitch receiver and place the hitch pin into the pinhole of the receiver. Since the Swagman XTC2 only weighs 30 pounds, it is easily manageable to lift. As far as traveling at high... view full answer...
The trailer hitch receiver we have for your 2014 Lexus GX 460 that sits closest to the bumper is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13043. I have attached a photo of each hitch on a similar Lexus to give you a better idea of how far it will stick out.
If you also need a bike rack, I would be happy to recommend one for you if you can tell me a little bit about the bikes you will be carrying. If not I have attached a selection of bike racks we carry for you. view full answer...
You should only use the provided hardware to secure your hitch. Using any additional spacers or washers will void the warranty from the manufacturer.
If it is an issue where the bumper cover is resting on the hitch and you are able to install it and properly torque the hardware this is not an issue and is very common on a lot of the hitches that I have installed. This eliminates the need for you to cut the bumper for clearance since it isn't really an issue.
If you do not like it you... view full answer...
The trailer hitch I recommend for your 2018 Lexus RX 350 is the etrailer Class III Trailer Hitch # e94AR because it has great towing capacities, installs easily, and because it has a concealed cross tube which means it won't be quite as visible as most hitches. I attached the installation instructions for you to check out.
For trailer wiring I recommend the T-One kit part # 118252 which is a confirmed fit for your RX 350 as long as you have the factory tow package. It installs without... view full answer...
Actually, the only trailer hitch currently available that's confirmed to fit the F Sport model of your 2017 Lexus RX 350 is the Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver; either the part # 391LXRX16T if you ever plan on doing any towing or # 391LXRX16 if you only plan on using it for hitch-mounted accessories like a bike rack or cargo carrier. Both offer a 350 pound tongue weight capacity (along with a 3,500 pound towing limit for the # 391LXRX16T) and feature a completely hidden design when not in... view full answer...
You will need to start with a 4-way (if you do not have one). For that you would want the # 118478.
From there you would need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install the brake controller. For that you will want the Brake Controller Install Kit and 7-Way Adapter part # ETBC7. I attached installation instructions and an install video for this product as well.
For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. This is our best selling brake... view full answer...
When powering a brake controller like the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller # RED44FR you have to power it directly from the vehicle battery. Mainly because it would prevent the controller from shorting out any of your vehicle's power circuit in the event of a short, but also because none of the aux power sources are going to be rated high enough for the amperage load of a brake controller.

I will give you a list of all the most budget-friendly parts for a complete towing set up for your 2009 Lexus RX 350. It sounds like you have a trailer with electric brakes, so you will need a hitch, 7-way, 4-way (which is needed because it plugs into the 7-way), ball mount, 2" hitch ball and brake controller. So here is the list of the most economical parts for you:
- Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13530
- Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C55563

The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # C11362 is the only confirmed fit we have for your 2017 Lexus ES300h at this time. It does require the stabilization strap # 18050 for accessories like a bike rack in order to keep hitch's manufacturer warranty in tact.
The Draw-Tite # 36530 is not a confirmed fit for your vehicle and is only confirmed to be compatible with 2013 - 2017 Lexus ES 350 models. It unfortunately has not been tested to fit the ES 300H models of... view full answer...
I checked with Thule and their roof rack fits for your 2017 Lexus RX 350 do not exclude models with the panoramic roof so it will fit. Also they do not state that it has to remain closed. The Thule rack consists of the WingBar Evo # TH711200, feet # TH710601, and fit kit # TH186044.
Normally we recommend against opening sunroofs with roof racks as the wind noise created can be pretty intense. view full answer...
For your 2012 Lexus GX 460, you're probably going to be better off picking up a hanging rack over a platform rack, as there aren't any swing-away 4 bike platform racks. Additionally, because of the way that the rear of the GX 460 opens, the hanging rack will work a little better overall with the rear hatch.
For a hanging rack, I recommend Yakima's FullSwing, part # Y02465. This swing-away hanging rack uses ZipStrips to secure the bikes across its two arms, and reduces the amount of sway... view full answer...
The Inno roof rack feet like part # INXS350 can only be used with Inno crossbars. If you want to use Thule Wingbars you'd need to use the Thule raised rail foot kit part # TH710401 instead. view full answer...
The only trailer wiring harnesses we can safely recommend for your 2004 Lexus ES330 are the universal ones like the part # 119250KIT. Harnesses for a Camry are not confirmed as fits and we can't verify if they would work. view full answer...

Snow tire chains are designed to give you additional traction in heavy snow and ice conditions, even vehicles that have AWD and 4WD. If you plan on taking a trip to an area with heavy snow or ice, it would be a good idea to bring a set of tire chains along for emergency situations. Using tire chains is not necessarily required, but they will help in hazardous conditions and there are even some areas that require the use of snow chains during certain times... view full answer...

We have hitches that were specifically tested to fit the F-Sport models of the 2021 Lexus RX 350 like with the totally hidden Hidden Hitch part # DT58GR which has detachable lower hitch opening or the Draw Tite # 75540 which only has the lower hitch opening that hangs below the rear bumper. These do require removal of the lateral performance damper but this is only way you would be able to install a hitch. view full answer...

The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C73DR you were looking at is a confirmed fit for your 2021 Lexus RX 350 and will fit with your rear lift gate sensor though it will likely change the location your foot must be to activate the sensor.
You will need to place your foot to the left or right of the receiver for the sensor to detect your foot.
If you are planning on towing with your RX 350 you will also need a vehicle wiring harness # C56217.

The roof rack I highly recommend for your 2020 Lexus GX 460 is from Inno because it will give you the most available crossbar space of any rack that fits your vehicle. Longer crossbars are important because they make it easier to load your accessories (the bars will be more accessible) and because longer bars optimize the amount of gear you can carry. This rack consists of:
- Inno Aero Crossbars # INXB123-130
- Inno Through Feet for Aero Crossbars - Fixed Mounting Points # INXS350
- Custom... view full answer...
