Recommended Class I Hitch and Bike Rack for 2015 Lexus CT 200h Hybrid Liftback

Question

Question:

I have a Lexus CT200H. I want to obtain a hitch and bike rack for my Lexus. I have checked out what you have to offer but when I viewed an underbody of a picture you have of a Lexus CT200 and my CT200H it looks different and need to know what hitch will work with my CT200H. Is there a hitch that will work on my Lexus CT200h 2015 car. If you have a unit that will work can you send me the necessary info of what you have and a picture of the underbody to see how it would attach to my car.

I checked with Curt about the proper hitch fit for your 2015 Lexus CT 200h Hybrid Liftback and their 1-1/4-inch Class I hitch # C11200 is a confirmed fit. Your hybrid is definitely going to have visible differences from the non-hybrid CT200, so this is not cause for concern. Do note that when this hitch is installed on your car the tow hooks will be permanently removed.

Curt rates this hitch as an easy installation. All the necessary hardware is included and I have linked the written instructions for you, which include photos. Required tools are listed in the instructions. I also linked a helpful article with tips for easier hitch installation.

You will need to use Curt's stabilizing strap # 18050 to help support your bike rack in order to retain your Curt warranty coverage.

A Class I hitch can carry up to 2 bikes. You can see all available Class I hitch racks using the link provided. If you like a full-featured platform style rack I suggest Thule's Doubletrack Pro XT # TH92BJ. This carrier includes locks for the rack itself and for your two loaded bikes and it can handles tires as wide as 5-inches.

For a great economical option, I recommend the Swagman XC # S64650. This platform carrier offers 4-inches of height rise in the shank for better ground clearance and it secures the bikes at 3 points (each wheel and at the frame). It can handle tires as wide as 3-1/2-inches, wheelbases up to 51-1/2-inches and you can add anti-rattle lock # S64031 to secure both the rack and your bikes.

The linked articles will help you consider which rack type will work best with your particular bikes.

That’s a smart concern, Nia. The Crosstrack sits close to the vehicle and folds up compact when parked. On low–ride height vehicles, the 1-bike versions #HLY98RR (for 2" hitch) or #HLY68RR (for 1-1/4" and 2" hitch) are preferable…
