Is there a hitch out for the CT? I have been looking around and don't see anything. I would be looking for a 1.25" hitch. I go with Curt, but nothing out. Just wanted to see if there are other options. I want to put my bike rack on there. Also, a great defense for city parking also.

Curt has one out now...

I just wanted to let everybody know that the hitch is selling at Amazon for $117.13 with free shipping. But, you have to wait for it to be in stock and says 1-2 months. But, if you purchase it from etrailer they will price match it. They have it in stock and ship it out quickly. I did it with no problem. It will save you chunk of change and get it quicker.

Might want to check and make sure the installation won't void your warranty. If the manual does say not to install a hitch (I haven't looked to see what it says) there is a good chance it will. I have a Thule roof rack and a hitch rack on my Highlander, I use that when taking bikes somewhere.

There is no such thing as "void your warranty". Lexus can refuse to repair issues caused by installing a hitch (assuming the manual says not to), but they cannot void your whole warranty.

I have a 2010 4Runner with a hitch mounted Thule bike carrier that I'd like to be able to use on the CT as well. I'd hate to have to buy a fuel economy sapping roof rack system, that takes forever to install and remove and damages the paint. Bleh, I might tell the wifey that she's just going to have to get a Prius v instead and I'll put my bikes inside the car!

Well good luck, let me know how that works for ya!!

That must have been some hit with though to mess up the frame of your SUV. Either way, it would have been the other guy's fault and it would have gotten repaired.

I always get a hitch just to protect from city parking and for my hitch mount bike rack. City parking is like bumper cars for those that don't know how to parallel parking. I just don't want license plate screw indentions in my rear bumper.

Do you always leave the rack on?
