  • Bike Rack Recommendation for Carrying 4 Adult Bikes
  • 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...

  • Which Trailer Hitch Receiver for a 2014 Lexus GX 460 is Least Visible
  • 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.

  • Is the Swagman XTC2 TILT a Good Rack for My 2021 Lexus RX 350?
  • 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...

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendation for 2018 Lexus RX 350
  • 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...

  • Is it Okay for the Bumper to Touch the Curt Hitch part # C13043
  • 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...

  • 7-Way and Brake Controller Recommendation for 2004 Lexus RX 330
  • 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...

  • Recommended Roof Carrier for Tandem Kayak
  • In order to haul a tandem kayak you will need to do so with the hull down. The Yakima DeckHand Kayak Carrier part # Y04083-2 will be a great option for this as it's designed for larger, heavier kayaks up to 80 lbs. It will however require a 24" crossbar spread. It works with most aftermarket and factory crossbars. If you don't already have a roof rack, the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack part # MPG216 is a great option for models with raised side rails.

  • 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...

  • Does Thule Roof Rack Fit 2017 Lexus RX 350 with Panoramic Roof
  • 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.

  • Will Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver C73DR Work W/ Lift Gate Sensor On 2021 Lexus RX 350
  • 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. I included videos of the products mentioned for...

  • 2020 Lexus GX 460 Roof Rack Recommendation For Factory Flush Rails
  • 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...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2017 Lexus RX 350 F-Sport
  • 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...

  • Roof Rack for a 2014 Lexus IS 250 with a Sunroof
  • For your 2014 Lexus IS 250 I recommend a roof rack system with aero bars because it will be the most aerodynamic, produce less noise, and will look the best on your vehicle. Rhino-Rack system # RR96QR is a great option. This system has bars that do not overlap the feet so the system looks more like a factory roof rack. The only drawback is that there is less bar space to mount accessories so depending on how wide your cargo box is you may or may not be able to also fit a bike next to the...

  • How to Tell if 2007 Lexus RX 350 Has Factory Tow Package
  • The 30 amp fuse marked for towing that is located in the fuse box of your 2007 Lexus RX 350 does not necessarily indicate if the vehicle has the factory tow package installed. The actual features of a tow package vary greatly between different auto manufacturers, vehicle model years and models. Looking at the online owner's manual for your vehicle, it appears that the factory tow package included a trailer hitch receiver. If the vehicle did not have a factory hitch, and an aftermarket...
