I want to carry a bicycle around using a trailer hitch type of carrier.

There are none available however etrailer has one for toyota ch-r. Anyone know if this would work on UX (UX Hybrid)?

Thx

If you are really, really motivated, get out your tape measure, go to a Toyota dealership, crawl under the back of a CH-R and compare the distances between the CH-R's hitch mounting points and body structure to that of your UX. Review the hitch installation instructions for other vehicles built on the GA-C platform, e.g. the Prius as well as the CH-R, so that you know what to measure. A list of all vehicles on the GA-C platform is at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota...hitecture#GA-C

Maybe you'll get lucky. For example, it was found that the same trailer hitch fit the gen 2 IS and the gen 3 GS before hitch makers marketed the hitches as fitting both Lexus models. Or maybe a hitch from another model can be adapted by doing a bit of drilling to enlarge or reposition mounting holes in the hitch.

I've adapted parts from different makes and models a number of times. I've sometimes had to do some fabrication and drilling but have usually been successful. My wife seemed to be embarrassed when I took her with me to do some measuring on a Toyota Scion IQ a few years ago but she likes that the IQ's mirror covers with turn signals fit her Prius perfectly although I had to fabricate electrical harnesses to make them work. Where there's a will, there's (usually) a way.

Reviving a year dead thread. Did anything ever come of this? Has anyone been able to measure it up to see if this would work?
