For transporting 4 bikes on your 2002 Lexus RX 300, the best way to go is a hitch-mounted bike rack. I recommend the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches # HR1400Z. The Sport Rider SE 4 has a maximum per-bike weight capacity of 50 pounds. In addition, the rack comes with keyed-alike hitch lock, frame hooks, and security cable to deter theft of your bikes and the rack.

If you need a hitch receiver that is compatible with the Sport Rider SE 4 and your 2002 Lexus RX 300, I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-E-Loader Trailer Hitch Receiver # 41541. The Draw-Tite hitch receiver installs close enough to the end of the bumper so that you will not have any issues with bumper clearance with using the Sport Rider SE 4. In addition, the hitch comes with all mounting hardware required for an easy, bolt-on installation. I went ahead and attached a video of the installation process for your convenience.
