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 of that model Lexus IS250.
