The Draw Tite hitch part # 75155 is the best option for your 2005 Lexus GX 470 as it has the best towing capacities and comes with a 7-way mounting bracket for trailer wiring if you were to end up towing. It also has the most hidden look which is similar to an OEM solution. view full answer...
For a good, basic proportional controller, you cannot go wrong with the Tekonsha # TK90160 that you'd looked at. Unless what you're towing uses an electric over hydraulic braking system, that controller would work very well for you.
This being said, if you've never used a brake controller before something that's a little more user friendly like the Tekonsha P3, part # 90195 is what I'd recommend. The P3 is compatible with electric trailer brakes like the Primus, but would also work with... view full answer...
In regards to a 2004 Lexus GX 470, the factory tow package comes with most of the needed components. The only things you'll need to add to add really is a brake controller (if trailer has brakes), ball mount/hitch ball, and transmission cooler (recommended for high elevation towing). I recommend the Curt TriFlex Trailer Brake Controller part # C24VV with Curt Custom Wiring Adapter for Trailer Brake Controllers part # C51362 and then the etrailer Ball Mount Kit part # 989899.

The 2004 Lexus GX470 can be flat-towed behind a motorhome with all four wheels down. That said, in order to do so you will need to obtain a driveshaft disconnect coupling from a third party which is what allows the vehicle to be flat-towed without damage. I have attached for you below some parts you will need for the above.

For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup. This is a proportional brake controller that senses the amount of braking the tow vehicle is applying and applies a proportionate amount to the trailer brakes.
For a quick install harness that would allow you to install the brake controller without having to splice into any existing wiring you would want... view full answer...
We have products that will allow you to install a 7-way trailer connector at the rear of your 2003 Lexus GX 470, but not a factory harness route like you mentioned you are interested in. That would most likely be a dealer only option that would be somewhat expensive.
You will need to start with a 4-way (if you do not have one). For that you would want the # C59496.
Now if your trailer does not have brakes all you would need is the part # 37185 as an adapter to convert the 4-way to a 7-way.... view full answer...
I do have a solution for you to add towing mirrors to your 2008 Lexus GX 470 but unfortunately there are no custom towing mirrors that fit your Lexus.
Instead what I recommend using are the K-Source Universal Dual Lens Towing Mirrors # KS3990 because they fit most mirrors 4-1/2" to 11-1/2" tall and they have a dual lens for the most customization when it comes to your viewing experience while towing (the smaller mirrors are great for blind spots).

The Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain Tow Bar part # RM-677 is a really great tow bar and all you'd need to flat tow your 2004 Lexus GX 470 with it would be the Roadmaster base plate kit part # 1168-1 which is a confirmed fit.
For lighting you can use the diode kit, # RM-152, and not have to worry about cutting into the taillight housing. This will splice into your taillight wiring to allow your tow vehicle to control the taillight assemblies of the towed vehicle. This comes with a round... view full answer...
For a transmission cooler for your 2007 Lexus GX 470 the Derale transmission cooler part # D13503 would be a really great option that will keep your transmission fluid temperatures low so that you get the maximum life out of the transmission. view full answer...
We do have hitch options for your 2004 Lexus GX470. I recommend the Curt # 13445. This provides a 2 inch hitch for your bike rack of choice.
A great general use family style bike rack is the Thule Hitching post Pro # TH94XTR. It offers great versatility at a wonderful price point. If you would prefer a platform rack style I recommend the Hollywood Racks # HR1400Z for a 4 bike feature rich bike rack.

To add brakes, you will need 4 bolt mounting flanges that are hopefully already included on your axle. If not, you will need to work with a certified welder to get them properly added. Assuming you have flanges or will have them professionally added, you will need to select hub-and-drum assemblies that are compatible with your trailer spindles. You will do this by matching the bearings and seals of your trailer with the proper hub-and-drum assemblies.

I have a hitch I can recommend for you, but the # C13043 that you referenced is designed for the 2010 - 2015 Lexus GX 460 and would not be confirmed as a fit for your 2004 Lexus GX 470.
Instead you would want the Curt hitch part # 13445 as it has been confirmed to fit your vehicle and attaches to the frame. view full answer...
I highly recommend installing Hopkins Endurance Multi-Tow Adapter # HM48470. This replaces your RV's 7 way and gives you a 7 way AND 4 way flat connection. Then you can hook upMagnetic Tow Lights - Red LEDs - 4-Way Flat Connectors - 20' Long Harness # PE26UR directly to the 4 way flat provided on the adapter. These tow lights have a 20 foot long wiring harness; use 48" Long 4-Pole # HM47115 if you need 4 more feet of wiring.

We have a custom fit Curt hitch part # 13445 which is a fit for your 2008 Lexus GX 470 but the # E-3S is designed for attaching to the bottom of truck bumpers so it would not fit your vehicle. The # 13445 attaches directly to the bottom of the vehicle frame which gives you a very solid connection. view full answer...
The Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty # RED24FR is the way to go over the Elite # RED44FR as you get the nicer functions of the Elite at a lower price. The Elite has the ability to be the more preferred proportional style of controller as well as a time-delayed whereas the Liberty gives you just the proportional setting which is what you'd want to use with your towing setup. Proportional controllers sense how hard you are applying the vehicle brakes whereas time delayed means it puts a preset amount... view full answer...
We have trailer hitches that will fit your 2006 Lexus GX 470 but # C13043 is not one of them. The hitches that fit your GX 470 require a different design to fit the vehicle. I recommend Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 75155 which is popular for GX 470 owners. I have included a link to a video showing an example installation.
If you plan on doing some towing I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4... view full answer...
If you had a 2010-2017 GX470 this would fit your vehicle, but if you have an older model of this vehicle you instead would need to go with a frame mounted hitch like the Curt part # 13445 which is a confirmed fit and would not require any bolt hole measuring to verify fit.
If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also... view full answer...
I have two options for a trunk mount bike rack if your spoiler on your 2003 Lexus GX470 is metal. The first option is the Thule Gateway Pro # TH88VR. This rack holds two bikes, has anti-sway arms and folds up for storage. This is your basic, sturdy, economical bike rack with the integrated cable lock, but I recommend using # TH533 to secure the rack to your locked hatch.
If the spoiler on your vehicle is plastic, then going with a hitch mount is the best option because plastic cannot hold... view full answer...
The correct Draw-Tite brand hitch for your 2012 Lexus GX460 would be the part # 75685, the part # 75155 that you referenced is designed to fit the GX 470s from 2003-2009.
If you plan on doing some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.

The Curt # 31367 is specific to the Toyota 4Runner and FJ Cruiser, so it will not fit your 2008 Lexus GX 470. I checked with Curt and Draw-Tite and, unfortunately, they do not offer front mount hitches for your vehicle. That being said, we definitely have options for a hitch on the camper and bike rack rated for use on said camper.
As to the hitch, the Curt # C13701 is adjust able from 18 inches to 51 inches wide, making it very versatile. It also has a tongue weight rating up to 500 pounds... view full answer...
