Recommended Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Compatible with Both 2014 Lexus ES 350 and 2014 Lexus RX 350

Question:

Can this fit to use in 2014 lexus ES 350 and RX 350? We are looking to buy a trunk rack to fit on both cars so we can still use our curt trailer hitch during camping.

Yes. The Saris Bones EX # SA803 is a confirmed fit on both the 2014 Lexus ES 350 and 2014 Lexus RX 350. If you're going to be carrying any bikes with aggressive step through frames, like a woman's or child's bike, you'll likely need a bike frame adapter bar like the Hollywood Racks Bike Frame Adapter Bar for Women's and Alternative Frame Bikes # HRBA-PRO; this will allow you to carry the bikes level on the bars during transit.

Because this rack does not come with any locks integrated, you also may want to consider adding the Saris Cable Lock # SA981 to keep the bikes secured to your vehicle; your best bet for maximum security would be to connect the cable lock through the safety chain loops on your hitch, as well as through the rack and bikes.

I've linked some review videos of these parts for you to have a look at.
