Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendation for 2019 Lexus RX 350

Question

Question:

I am looking for a way to carry my bike on a 2019 Lexus RX 350. I really do not want to add a trailer hitch and want as clean a look as possible with the rack.

The best option for a trunk mounted bike rack on your 2019 Lexus RX 350 is the SeaSucker Hornet Rear Window Bike Rack # 298-BH1302 because it is very easy to use will allow you to maintain the clean look at the rear of your Lexus.

The SeaSucker Hornet is a pair of vacuum cups that have ratcheting straps which grasp your bike by the handlebars and uses an additional strap to secure it to your vehicle, as you can see in the accompanying photo. These vacuum cups are exceptionally strong and they will be fully secured to your Lexus due to their 120 lb pull strength rating. I have added a link to a video which shows the SeaSucker Hornet Bike Rack # 298-BH1302 being used on a road test which demonstrates the strength of the vacuum cups.

This bike rack weighs just 2 lbs, its cups are only 4-1/2 inches in diameter and it comes with a carrying case so it will be very easy to store. The Hornet is constructed from thermoplastic to ensure its durability and is made in the USA.

The Curt 2 Bike Platform Rack #C18085 comes with the threaded anti-rattle hitch pin, but it does not have a locking option for that rack. There isn't a locking hitch that fits that pin, so I recommend using a cable lock like #CAB-10 or #C23666…

Answer 4

There is one threaded hitch lock that we know will work with the Curt 2-Bike Rack #C18085, assuming that is the one that you have. There isn't just a hitch pin available so you would have to go with the threaded lock, and so long as you do have…

Aside from a slight change in the appearance of the crossbar (the WingBar Evo has some boxed edges as opposed to the completely smooth front of the AeroBlade) the biggest differences are the rubber strip on top of the crossbar and the weight…

While both fit your 2020 Toyota Prius, the biggest differences between the Saris Bones 2 Bike Rack #SA805BL and Saris Bones EX 2 Bike Rack #SAR83FR is the latter has an added top anchor leg for more stable mounting, as well as strap management so you…
