I do have a bike rack to fit your vehicle. Unfortunately, it will not be a hitch bike rack. I took a look at the owner's manual for your 2022 Lexus ES 350. Oftentimes, the availability of a trailer hitch is based upon whether you can use your vehicle to tow a trailer. Lexus does not recommend towing a trailer with your vehicle. As a result, there is not a trailer hitch for your vehicle. Unfortunately, without the trailer hitch, you will not be able to use a hitch mounted bike rack.

You can use the Saris Bones EX 2 Bike Rack - Adjustable Arms - Trunk Mount, part # SAR83FR, on your vehicle. This Saris rack has a weight capacity of 35 lbs per bike. I can vouch for the durability of the Saris brand. I have used their bike racks to transport bikes on two separate road trips, one well over 2,000 miles round trip the other almost 2,000 miles round trip. If you are unable to use a hitch bike rack, and you do not have e-bikes, you cannot go wrong with the Bones EX 2 bike rack.

I have included product description links and a video review link below.
