Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver and Bike Rack for 2013 Lexus RX 350

Expert Reply:
For your 2013 Lexus RX350, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C13143. This is a fairly easy to install bumper that requires no drilling, but will require trimming an underbody panel and cleaning weldnuts in the frame. I recommend using Nylon Tube Brush - 1/2" # 814092 and a penetrating oil. The center of the hitch pin hole to the outermost part of the bumper is 5 inches.
Then I recommend the Thule Doubletrack Pro XT Bike Rack # TH92BJ for your vehicle. This will give you a very well make bike rack that will fold up close to the vehicle when not in use and will secure your bikes with the integrated locks. The carrier weighs just 35 lbs and is easy to use with the ratcheting frame hooks and wheel straps.
