Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2002 Lexus ES 300 for Bike Rack
Question:
I am looking for a hitch to attach to my 2002 Lexus ES 300 for a bike rack. I see the hitches available but not sure if I would need a draw bar or anything else for this hitch to attach a bike rack. Anything else I might want to consider for the hitch like a lock or something? Thank you. I may call also.

For carrying a bike rack with a trailer hitch a draw bar/ball mount would not be needed. So for your 2002 Lexus EX 300 the Draw Tite hitch part # 36336 would be all that you need aside from the bike rack.
The most popular bike rack we carry that has been confirmed to fit this vehicle is the Thule Camber 2 part # TH9058. We asked our demo and install guys to name their favorite, most easy-to-use bike racks and this one showed up in nearly everyone's top three. Check out the review video I attached for more info.
If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also. This will allow the bikes to be carried more level and will provide more ground clearance.
