Expert Reply:
Your best option for a trailer hitch on your 2002 Lexus RX 300 would be the Draw Tite hitch part # 41541 which is a confirmed fit and has a 350 lb tongue weight capacity. As long as the weight of your carrier and bike weigh less than that combined this would be a great solution. Basically you'd have 130 lbs left over for the weight of a carrier like the etrailer # e98873. This carrier only weighs 58 lbs.
You'll also need to verify that your vehicle has the capacity for this too.
