Question:

Hi: Wanted to find out if the Curt Trailer Hitch Custom Fit Class III C13272 is compatible with the Thule Easy Fold XT Bike Rack TH 903202 for installation on my Lexus RX 350 to carry my Blix Aveny E-Bike weight 58 lbs. Want to make sure all required clearances are ok. Thanks for any help you can provide.

When we installed the Curt # C13272 Class III hitch on a 2016 Lexus RX 350, we found that the hitch pin hole of the receiver was recessed so that it was 4 inches forward of the rearmost part of the bumper.

The Thule # TH903202 EasyFold bike rack provides 8 inches of clearance from the hitch pin hole to the closest upright portion of the bike rack, so you'll have about 4 inches of clearance to spare, which is plenty of room. The bike rack would work perfectly with the # C13272 hitch once it's installed on your RX 350.
