Question:

I have a 2025 Lexus NX350h and would like a recommendation for a tow hitch with a 2" receiver. I also want to get a solid yet somewhat light bike rack. This vehicle isn't really for towing and it has a 2,000 towing capacity, so is a 2" reciever the way to go? Thanks!

Hey Jerry! I would recommend getting a Class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It looks like you already picked up the Curt # C77MJ which is a great choice. Even if the hitch is overrated and you can't tow that much the 2" receiver gives you better options for bike racks.

Is there a specific bike rack style you're looking for? How many bikes do you need to carry? Are they regular bikes or e-bikes? If the weight of the bike rack itself is your primary concern I recommend the Hollywood Racks Destination Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # HLY94FR. This is incredibly light at only 20 lbs and can hold up to 35 lbs per bike. If you have different needs or want a different style let me know in the comments below.

Hey Jerry, how did the Curt hitch work out on your Lexus NX350h? Did the Hollywood Racks Destination rack give you the light setup you were hoping for? Your feedback could really help others looking for a similar combo.
