Expert Reply:
To carry a bike rack on your 2012 Lexus RX 350 you will need to have a trailer hitch installed, and the best option for this is from Draw-Tite:
- Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12343
The reason the Draw-Tite # 75676 is the best is because it has the best bumper clearance and ground clearance of the hitches that fit your Lexus. That's really important because it allows your bike rack to stay clear of the ground and away from your vehicle better than any other option, keeping the rack, your bikes, and your Lexus all safe.
This will be the perfect option for a bike rack like the Swagman XTC2 TILT # S64671 or Swagman Titan # S63400.
