Recommended Bike Rack For 2021 Lexus RX 350 F-Sport Without Trailer Hitch Receiver
Question:
Hi We have a F sport model which has the ‘performance damper’ installed across the rear frame rails along with the tie down hook bracket. The dealer says you can’t install a hitch due to performance suspension. Just want to use a hitch mounted bike rack. I have heard that a vibration can occur during engine idle if the damper is removed. Is their a hitch available which would allow the damper to be reinstalled with a hitch? Thanks Guys!

I have a different option for you, but at this time (5/12/2021) there is not a trailer hitch receiver confirmed to fit your 2021 Lexus RX 350 F-Sport with the performance damper installed.
With that said you can still carry your bikes using the SeaSucker Talon Roof Bike Rack - Fork Mount - Vacuum Cup Mounted # 298-BT1004 if you have a single bike, # 298-BM2006 if you have two bikes, or # 298-BB3008 if you have three bikes.
These options fit any vehicles with a flat roof including your RX 350 F-Sport and will not require a roof rack.
Each of these carriers includes adapters for bikes with 9mm thru axles but there are other adapters available depending on your bikes. The available adapters are:
12-mm Thru-Axle Adapters # 298-BA1423
15-mm Thru-Axle Adapters # 298-BA1424
15-mm Boost Thru-Axle Adapters # 298-BA1425
I included a few video reviews for you to take a look at.
