Recommended Hitch for a 2025 Lexus ES 350 Ultra Luxury Trim
Updated 11/03/2025 | Published 01/07/2025
Question:
Recently bought a 2025 Lexus ES 350 Ultra Luxury Trim. Dealership said they have never installed a hitch on an ES 350 and dont recommend it. All of the reviews I see for the C11576 hitch are for Toyota Camry. Any experience installing this hitch on a Lexus ES 350, 7th generation? Its just for a bike rack - not for towing. Thanks

Hey Ted, congrats on the new car! We hear this complaint quite often from customers about dealerships.
The Lexus ES 350 started out as an upgraded Toyota Camry but is more comparable to the longer Avalon at this point. Curt's been recommending their item # C11576 hitch for the ES 350's since 2023 with no issues. We haven't had a chance to install this hitch but have heard from multiple customers it works great.
The Curt Hitch item # C11576 is custom fit for the 2025 Lexus ES 350, including your Ultra Luxury Trim model. It is a class 1 hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver so it will work great for a bike rack. You'll just want to ensure your bike rack is rated to be used with a class I receiver.
