Expert Reply:
The trailer hitch # 36643 is not confirmed to fit your 2015 Lexus ES 300h. You would need The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11362. This hitch has a 1-1/4 inch by 1-1/4 inch opening and has a tongue weight up to 200 pounds. To make your 1-1/4 inch hitch into a 2 inch hitch you will need The Hitch Adapter # HTAD using this will cut your tongue weight in half giving you only 100 pounds of tongue weight. This will not work for carrying your 58 pound bike rack and your two 75 pound bikes.
You could use The Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack # TH903202 has a 65 pound per bike capacity but if you take the batteries off your two bikes it will work perfect for you. This will work with your 1-1/4 inch trailer hitch.
