Anybody know where to get a trailer hitch for the RCF? I know this is unusual, but I needed to put one on for "light duty". Not gonna to tow a horse trailer or travel trailer or anything like that.
I put a small receiver hitch on my IS F despite the factory's poo pooing this. I have hauled my 22 pound bike without issue many times at speeds unlikely to have been considered by the bike rack manufacturer. The issue with the RC F is the factory diffuser. You will need to modify it by necessity to put any hitch of any kind on the car.

Hey Lowbux have you more pics of you hitch and that 22lb bike sounds heavy cheers.
I have a newer rack now, a Kuat NV Base 2.0, and a newer bike, a Cervelo S5 TdF edition. It weighs quite a bit less than the Softride, and pretty much the frame, forks, and headset are OEM. Everything else was modified.

What's funny is, I have 1978 Austro Daimler Ultima that was junior team issue in 1978, and it weighs almost exactly the same as the Softride from 21 years later. Bikes have come a really long way since those days.

Thanks for that, The Daimler is a classic same silver as the Supra, coincidence, and yes the weight is surprising even with a hand pump, what is the load rating on the hitch cheers.
I like those bikes. I have been an avid cyclist my whole life but rarely get out anymore due to degenerative disc disease.
I still have a couple of fun bikes. A carbon Specialized Roubaix and a Carbon framed Giant MT bike.. They are about 5 years old now but still amazing bikes and I wish I could ride them like I used to.

Actually is a rose color. The phone camera doesn't do it justice with LED lighting. Weight rating is 200 pounds (91 Kg) tongue weight.

I have DJD C4-C7 and L4-L5. Yes, I wish I could still do a 10 mile TT in 23:47 as I did when I was 17 and riding 450 miles a week. Even in my late 30's I could do 320 watts for an hour straight, but now breaking 200 is a big deal.
Just ordered the hitch thru uhaul. They indicated that they have one for NX450h+. The model # is 76201G. $289 with installation, wiring for tailgate and tax (of course)
Anyone got link to the hitch? Also will this work on a RC 350?
I just installed one on my RCF that’s made for IS’. Fit like a charm, no trimming or anything needed. Everywhere online says it’s not compatible but it sure was. Holds a 200lb+ cargo rack just fine, have yet to tow a trailer.
Trailer Hitch for RCF???
