The Thule T2 Pro 2 Bike Platform Rack referenced in your question is a great platform rack designed for Class I and Class II trailer hitch receivers.

Since the release of the T2 Pro 2 Bike Platform Rack, Thule has made some improvements and released the Thule T2 Pro XTR # TH23JV, replacing the original T2 Pro, which is why you cannot find it on their website.

The T2 Pro XTR has a greater distance between bicycles of 12-1/2 inches when compared to the 11 inch measurement offered by the T2 Pro. The adjustable bike trays on the T2 Pro XTR slide 3 inches side to side to optimize this bike spacing. Otherwise these two bike racks are very similar, including their weight capacity and nice tilting feature, and are great options for transporting your bikes with the trailer hitch on your 2008 Lexus ES 350.

I have attached video demonstrations on both of these products for you to look at.
