For a trailer hitch for your 2015 Lexus RX350 you can use # C13143. I have linked a video showing how it installs.
For a swinging bike rack I recommend the Thule Apex Swing # TH9027XT. This is a 4-bike rack that swings off to the side of the vehicle with or without the bikes loaded. This allows you complete access to the cargo area in the back of the vehicle. I have linked a video review of this rack for you.
If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical men's bike would) then I recommend using bike adapter bar # 64005. This will allow you to carry those bikes more level and will provide better ground clearance. I have linked a video showing how the adapter works.
