I recommend installing the Curt Trailer Hitch # C13143 on your 2015 Lexus RX 350. This is a pretty straightforward installation and it will fit whether you have an F Sport or not. I have attached an installation video for you to check out.
If you don't already have a bike rack then I recommend using either the Thule T2 Pro XTR # TH83JV or the Swagman Current # S64678. The difference between these bike racks (aside from the Thule being nicer overall) is that the Thule rack secures bikes by their front wheels so it's compatible with any frame that doesn't have a front fender, and the Swagman secures bikes using the hook that ratchets down on the bike frame.
These bike racks have 60 lbs per bike weight ratings so if your bikes are heavier let me know and I can look into another solution.
