I looked up your 2015 Lexus ES350 and it can be towed on a tow dolly like the Roadmaster part # RM-2050-1 that you mentioned. You'll want to have the vehicle in Park and make sure the emergency brake is off too.

The Roadmaster tow dolly you referenced is a really great option for a dolly. I attached a review video for this for you to check out as well.

Hi, I see the Lexus ES350 can be towed on a tow dolly in the above response but would you recommended strapping down the steering wheel even though it is locked once the car is turned off? I have read various comments about it saying the locking mechanism is not designed or strong enough. I will be using the Demco Car Kaddy SS. Thanks!

@Paul That's an interesting question but I would say go ahead and lock it with the seat belt to be as safe as possible. If you are unsure how to do that you would want to route your seat belt around the steering wheel a couple times and then buckle it. At that point pull the seat belt all the way out so that it triggers the locking mechanism and then let it go so that it take up all of the slack against the wheel. Finally tug on it a few times so that you get all of the slack out and it's essentially locked.
