Expert Answers about Lexus LX 470


  • Does Firestone Air Bag Kit Fit 2007 Lexus LX 470 with AHC Auto Leveling Suspension
  • The Firestone air bag kit part # F4124 is a confirmed fit for your 2007 Lexus LX 470 and has no fit exceptions for versions of the vehicle that have AHC. It will work great with that system and would not interfere with it in anyway. The ride height changes your vehicle goes through with the AHC would not affect the Firestone bag. Since the AHC works to level the vehicle if a load is detected you'd want to first put the weight of the trailer on the hitch of the vehicle and let the AHC...

  • Trailer Wiring Recommendation for a 2000 Lexus LX470
  • 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.

  • Recommended Solution to Extend a 7-Way to 7-Way Connector from a 2006 Lexus LX 470 to Pop Up Camper
  • The TorkLift wiring harness extension # TLW6028 will be a short term solution or if it's an occasional fix. The reason I say that is because it opens up possibilities of problems. These problems could result in becoming disconnected, additional connection points that could get dirt and grime in the connector to name a few. To avoid some issues associated with corrosion on the connection points you can use dielectric grease # 11755 or # LT37534 that seals out moisture and prevents corrosion....

  • Brake Controller Recommendation for a 2001 Lexus LX470
  • The brake controller the number you referenced goes back to is the Tekonsha Powertrac part # 39523 which can be installed in your 2001 Lexus LX 470 with a couple more components. First you would need a 4-way trailer wiring harness if you do not have one. For that you would need part # 119178KIT. Then to convert the 4-way to a 7-way and install a brake controller you would need the part # ETBC7.

  • Can Free-Backing Trailer Brakes be Used on a Trailer with a Reverse Lock Out
  • Free backing brake assemblies can be used on a trailer that has a reverse lockout. If it's a manual lockout they would allow you to back your trailer up at any given moment without having to get out and activate the lockout. As long as your hub/drums are 10 by 2-1/4 the part # T4423400 for the right hand side and part # T4423500 for the left hand side would be a great choice.

  • Brake Controller Recommendation for a 2001 Lexus LX 470 with 4-Way
  • The P3 Brake Controller part # 90195 is an excellent choice for a brake controller so you are off to a great start. To convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install a brake controller all you would need is the part # ETBC7. This comes with everything needed so you would not need the other components you referenced. I attached an install video plus installation instructions for you to check out as well.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2000 Lexus LX 470
  • For your 2000 Lexus LX 470 we have the Blue Ox base plate kit part # BX2907 which is a confirmed fit and is very easy to use.

  • Wiring Recommendation to Install a Brake Controller in a 1998 Lexus LX470 with 7-Way
  • 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.

  • Will Rhino Rack Sunseeker Awning Fit Malone Airflow2 Crossbars
  • Since the Malone Airflow2 bars # MPG216 for your 2007 Lexus LX 470 have channels on top of them the Rhino Rack Sunseeker Awning part # RR32132 would fit and work well.

  • Can Thule Big Mouth Bike Rack be Adapted to OEM Crossbars of 2001 Lexus LX 470
  • 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.

  • Can Weight Distribution be Used on a 2001 Lexus LX 470 with Self-Leveling Rear Suspension
  • 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...

  • Which Snow Tire Chains Are Best For 285/70R17 Tires?
  • There are a few tire chain options for tire size 285/70R17. If you plan on driving through fairly heavy snow quite often then I would go with a chain-style like Titan Chain Alloy Snow Tire Chains - Diamond Pattern - Square Link - 1 Pair # TC2327. This will give you optimal traction. If you just plan on using them a few times a year in light snow then I recommend going with a cable-style such as Titan Chain Cable Snow Tire Chains - Ladder Pattern - Steel Rollers - 1 Pair # TC3029; the cables...

  • Solution for Towing Trailer and Carrying Bike Rack
  • If the weight of your trailer when ready to tow is lighter than half of the towing capacity of your vehicle you can use the hitch adapter part # D-192 in the configuration you mentioned. Or, a better option is the # D210 which accomplishes a similar thing but does not have a reduced hitch capacity since there isn't a second hitch opening for the trailer. I attached a picture that shows it used with a cargo carrier and trailer. Or if your trailer is an A-frame you could use the bunk adapter...

  • Is There a Plug-In 7-Way for a 1999 Lexus LX 470
  • I do have an option for you but there are no direct plug-in 7-ways for a 1999 Lexus LX 470. However, I do have what you need to obtain one and for this you will need two parts, the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness part # C55365 and the Adapter 4-Pole to 7-Pole and 4-Pole part # 37185. That said, this will be your only option as they again do not offer a plug-in 7-way for this particular vehicle. The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness is plug and play. The Adapter 4-Pole to...

  • Brake Controller and Wiring Adapter for 2006 LX470 with Factory Tow Package
  • 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...

  • Recommended Brake Controller And Trailer Wiring For 2000 Lexus LX 470
  • The P3, part # 90195 will be a very good brake controller for you. This is one of our most popular because it is easy to install and operate. If you do not have a trailer connector on your Lexus I recommend part # 119178KIT. This kit comes with the circuit tester to help make sure you find the correct wires behind the tail lights when installing the kit. You will then need part # ETBC7. This connects to the 4-way connector and the additional wires will need to be hardwired. I have attached...

  • Bypassing the Factory 7-Way on a 2006 Lexus LX 470 with an Aftermarket 7-Way
  • 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...
