The 2006 Lexus LX470 was not equipped with a factory brake controller. The Tekonsha P-3, part # 90195 that you looked at would be a great choice for you. Brake controllers are not vehicle specific, you can use any brake controller on virtually any vehicle. The P-3 is an excellent unit because of its diagnostic features and its user interface that is easy to read and understand. The P-3 is a proportional type controller which features an internal sensor that can determine how quickly and... view full answer...
While the Hopkins Smart Hitch Backup Camera and Hitch Aligner System # HM50002 is designed to be a universal installation on many different vehicles, the T generally does work better with 2010 and newer truck models I confirmed with Hopkins directly. The instructions do provide an alternate installation procedure I included below. That will be better solution for your situation.
"For Vehicles WITHOUT OEM connector
1) Cut/Remove OEM plug (H)
2) Connect installation cable (D) to monitor... view full answer...
You can use a weight distribution system on a vehicle with a self-leveling rear suspension like your 2001 Lexus LX470. Weight distribution can still be a good idea because it does more than just take out the rear end sag of a vehicle, it also distributes the weight more evenly to all axles of the tow vehicle and trailer.
The way you would set it up is to connect the trailer and allow the suspension to level it. Then you would put the spring bars into position. This may cause the system... view full answer...
I have a trailer wiring solution for you, but the part # C55365 that you referenced is only designed to fit up to a 1999 Lexus LX470 so I can't recommend it for you.
Instead you would want the # 119178KIT. This is a hardwire kit that will require you to splice into your factory taillight circuits, but it will work once installed. view full answer...
Since you have a brake controller already and a functioning 7-way all you need to wire the brake controller to the vehicle and 7-way is the install kit part # 5506. This comes with everything needed for powering the brake controller but you will also need 10 gauge wire like part # 10-1-1 (sold by the foot to connect the wire to the 7-way. view full answer...
I reached out to Draw-Tite and Curt directly and unfortunately cannot confirm that either the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75095 or the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13443 will accommodate the larger 285/75r16 33inch spare tire you mentioned on your 2005 Lexus LX 470. This is because both trailer hitch receivers were made to fit factory 31inch tires and have not been tested with anything larger.
Curt sent me a picture that shows some clearance around the spare tire, but... view full answer...
I can provide you with the dimensions of the channel nuts included with the Work Light Mounting Bracket # RWLB. They are 1-3/8 inches long by 3/4 inches wide and are 1/4 inch thick. I have included a picture showing these measurements for you. view full answer...
If your 2006 Lexus LX 470 is equipped with the factory 7-Way connector at the rear of the vehicle, all of the necessary wires are already run to the connector for it to be fully functional and allow for an easy installation of a trailer brake controller. All of the necessary fuses should also be present.
For the brake controller, I highly recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195. This is an excellent, proportional controller that will activate the trailer brakes at the same time and... view full answer...
For your LX 470 I recommend the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # 1151-1 which was designed for the 1999-2002 Lexus LX 470 and Toyota Land Cruiser.
To complete your flat tow setup you will also need a tow bar, safety cables, wiring for lights, and a supplemental braking system.
I recommend the Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar # RM-522 which will make unhooking your vehicle a breeze even on un-even ground, and will work perfectly with the Direct Connect Base... view full answer...
I went to our warehouse and took a measurement of this ball mount for you.
The Curt Ball Mount, part # C45100 has a 6-1/4 inch rise or 7-1/2 inch drop and the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the end of the shank that inserts in your trailer hitch receiver is 2-1/2 inches.
On some vehicles you can loosen the spare a little and shift it away form the receiver. I am not sure if you can do that with your LX 470, but it may be worth checking out. If you can, then it may... view full answer...
They sure are!
The Timbren Heavy-Duty Axle-Less Trailer Suspension - 4" Lift Spindle - Wide Tires - 2,000 lbs # ASR2KHDS03 you were looking at has the 4 bolt mounting flange which will fit the Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Kit w/ Parking Brakes - 10" - Left/Right Hand Assemblies - 3.5K # K23-086-087-00 perfectly.
In addition the Timbren # ASR2KHDS03 uses inner bearing # L68149 and outer bearing # L44649 which is exactly what the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 3.5K E-Z Lube Axles - 10"... view full answer...
There are a few different ways to route your brake lines. One method would take a minimum of 6 flex lines. You'd start at the actuator and go directly from the actuator to the steel brake line. The line would mount to the underside of the trailer, and would tee off at each axle. A flex line would lead from the tee to a hard line fastened to each axle, with a flex line on each end of the axle making the transition at each caliper. Four flex lines at each caliper, with two flex lines making... view full answer...
Ultra-Fab Stabilizer Jack # UF39-941707 will bolt onto a trailer using the bolt holes that are present on the mounting flanges of this jack as well as with the included nuts and bolts. You will most likely have to drill holes in the frame of your trailer so that you can install this jack.
Check out the picture I attached that shows the mounting flange up close. view full answer...
The Draw-Tite Max Frame Trailer Hitch # 75096 is going to be around 17" from the top of the inside of the receiver to the ground-but this is going to vary depending on how much weight is in the vehicle and the condition of the suspension on your 2003 Lexus LX 470. It sounds like you're looking to tow a trailer with your vehicle, so you'll likely need some additional parts to give yourself a complete towing setup, like a wiring harness for the trailer lights, a ball mount and hitch ball.... view full answer...
If your Lexus crossbars have channels on the top of them you could use the # XADAPT2 to fit your Big Mouth to them but if they do not have channels there isn't a similar adapter and best option would be the current version of the Big Mouth that would fit with the ProRide XT part # TH598004. view full answer...
To install the brake controller wiring harness, # 3040-P, on your 2006 Lexus LX470, look for a connector under the dash. It will be located on the far left side above the emergency brake pedal. It will have a white cap. It may be taped to another harness and could be located more to the right of the e-brake pedal. I have included a link to the installation details for you. view full answer...
The SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs # SS78DR won't affect the ride quality of your 2004 Lexus LX 470
when you aren't towing - this is one of the great things about the SumoSprings kits.
SuperSprings says this kit is 11" tall so it depends on how much space you have between the mounting location and where this jounce spring makes contact with your vehicle. If you have 11" of space with the vehicle at the lowest setting then you'll be good to go. If it's less than 11" then you might... view full answer...
Yes. You will have to remove and relocate the 7way connection on your 2003 Lexus LX 470 in order to install the Draw-Tite # 75095 since it will install in the same location. You can likely use some self tapping screws and the Mounting Bracket for 7-Way # 18138 to attach your existing bracket to the newly installed hitch, or you can fabricate something on your own.
When it comes to the spare tire, as long as your tires are not larger than the tires that came stock on the vehicle, this... view full answer...
If you are wanting to bypass the wiring on your 2006 Lexus LX 470 then I recommend installing the Vehicle Wiring Harness Kit # C59496 for a 4-Way flat and then installing the Universal Wiring Kit # ETBC7 for a fully functioning 7-Way.
The Tekonsha kit will hardwire into your tail lights and you will use the included circuit tester to connect each wire to the proper function. You will then need to run the Black lead wire up to battery so that the trailer lights will draw power directly... view full answer...
I checked with Saris and from the hitch pin hole to the end of the shank on the Saris Swing Away Hitch Extender item # SAR36VR is 1-5/8". It looks like the Lexus receivers have 2" of space before you hit the spare so you'll be good. view full answer...
