Question:

I have a 2014 Lexus IS250. I read many reviews where people say it is very low to the ground and scrapes curbs and speed bumps. Does it really hang that low? Thanks.

Expert Reply:

Yeah it sits pretty low. When the Curt Trailer Hitch item # C11389 is installed on a 2014 Lexus IS250 the bottom of the receiver sits only 6" off the ground.

The Curt Trailer Hitch item # C11389 is a class I hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver. It has a 2,000 lbs towing capacity and a 200 lbs maximum tongue weight.

I have linked an installation video below to help you get it set up.

If you are planning on towing you will also need a wiring harness item # C56142 and the Draw-Tite Drawbar item # 3593 and then for hitch balls item # 19258 for a 2 inch ball or item # 19256 for a 1-7/8 inch ball.
