Question:

Will the Saris Bones 3 Bike rack fit the 2013 Lexus RX 350 I find conflicting information online on whether it will fit. Thanks!

I do have a great option for you, however the Saris Bones 3 Bike Carrier # SA801BL referenced in your question is not compatible with your 2013 Lexus RX 350 that has the spoiler.

For your vehicle, I instead recommend the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 3 Bike Rack # HRF2-3. This 3 bike rack is designed specifically for vehicles like yours that feature a spoiler. The high-rise frame and multiple strap mounting options prevent damage to your spoiler and vehicle finish. It has a carrying capacity of 3 bikes at 35 pounds each. You can add the etrailer.com Cable Lock # e98891 and the Thule Passive Security Strap # TH533 to secure the bikes to the carrier and the carrier to your vehicle.

I have attached a video demonstration on this bike rack so you can see exactly how it installs and operates.

If you plan on carrying any children's, woman's or alternative frame bikes, you might also need an adapter bar like the Kuat # UB01. This will provide a horizontal attachment point for level transport and improved ground clearance. I have included a video demonstration on this product so you can see how it works and why it might be needed.
