Thank you for the picture!
It actually looks like you already have a 7-Way socket installed on your 2006 Lexus GX 470. If you check out the attached photo of the Hopkins Endurance Multi-Tow Twist-Mount 7-Way RV and 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector # HM40920 you can see how they are similar. My guess is that someone install the 7-Way at a weird angle either to try keeping your Lexus looking factory or because they didn't have a choice. You'll want to verify that the various functions work by... 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.
For the charge line going to the towed vehicle's battery, you... view full answer...
For a 2007 Lexus GX470 with the factory 7-way installing the Curt # C51170 Spectrum brake controller would be a plug and play installation. Other than the # C51362 brake controller wiring harness, no other parts would be needed.
The connector for the brake controller is located under the dash near the top of the emergency brake pedal. view full answer...
Since your 2007 Lexus GX 470 has the factory 7-way connector then it does indeed seem that there is a blown/missing fuse causing the issue.
Fuse 8 in the engine bay fuse box is the fuse for the lights, so I recommend making sure that the fuse is not blown or missing.
If the fuse checks out, then use a circuit tester like # PTW2993 to test the 3 o'clock pin on your 7-way connector and see if there is power on the pin. While you are there go ahead and check that there is no corrosion or... view full answer...
From the picture you sent in it looks like you are needing the Hopkins Plug-In Simple Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package # HM43374 for your 2004 Lexus GX 470. This gives you both a 4-Way and a 7-Way connector for various trailer applications. view full answer...
The legs that come with the Rhino Rack Pioneer Platform part # RR77AB that you referenced are the RCH style which are slightly higher than the RCL. Since this is a fit designed for your 2009 Lexus GX 470 the option to pick tall or short isn't available as the taller legs are the correct fit. view full answer...
If your 2005 Lexus GX470 came with a factory 7-way the part # HM43374 that you referenced would plug into the same connectors that the factory one plugged into.
If your vehicle didn't come with a trailer connector you would need to first start with a 4-way like part # 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.
If you do have trailer brakes you would need the # ETBC7 instead of the # 37185 and... view full answer...
For your 2007 Lexus GX470 we have the Roadmaster base plate kit part # 1185-1 as a confirmed fit that would also work great with your Roadmaster Sterling tow bar # RM-576.
For lighting you can use the diode kit, # RM-15267, 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 6-way connector that you will install on the front... view full answer...
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.

The Hopkins Plug-In Simple Vehicle Wiring Harness # HM43374 is the correct wiring if your 2003 Lexus GX 470 came with the factory 7-Way and should be used as a replacement. If your vehicle didn't come with the factory 7-Way then the only way that I know how to help you is to offer theModulite Vehicle Wiring Harness Kit # C59236 which comes with just the 4-Way but does require splicing for the installation.
If your GX 470 did come with the factory 7-Way the only other thing I would know... view full answer...
For carrying the Kayak I recommend installing roof rails on your 2007 Lexus GX 470. With the rails you will be able to mount the Malone DownLoader Kayak Carrier # MPG114MD to the rails and will be able to carry 2 kayaks on your roof.
If your Lexus already has the factory side rails that run front to back, the Inno Aero Crossbars # INXB130-2 and Inno Through Feet for Aero Crossbars # INXS150 will be what you need for the kayak carrier.
With no factory rails you will need the Rhino-Rack... view full answer...
The Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger # 331-BCDC1225D does require running a heavy gauge wire that will directly connect to the alternator or battery on your tow vehicle. Unfortunately in this case your 7 pin connector will not provide enough power to properly power the BCDC charger and keep your batteries fully charged. With that said, this charger can easily be mounted on your trailer and will provide a great source of charging for your off-road trailer since it doesn't just provide... view full answer...
Both hitches made for your 2004 Lexus GX 470, Draw-Tite # 75155 and Curt # 13445, are welded together as one-piece so I think what you are looking for is actually a 2-inch ball mount that slides into the square receiver opening and lets you tow. This is also sometimes called a draw bar and is what the hitch ball bolts onto. You can see one in the linked photo and an article on how to select one is also linked for you.
A ball mount should be selected so that the trailer sits level to the... view full answer...
Yes, in order to mount the Thule Hitching Post Pro Folding Tilting 4 Bike Rack, # TH934XTR, on your 2007 Lexus GX 470, your vehicle will need to be equipped with a hitch like the Curt Custom Fit Trailer Hitch, # 13445.
Another convenient option for carrying bikes with your Lexus would be with a trunk mounted bike rack like the Thule OutWay PRO 3 Bike Carrier, # TH56BV. This option would limit you to carrying a maximum of three bikes at one time.

First of all, congratulations because that is a great looking camper!
As long as the GTW and TW of your trailer does not exceed 4,500 lbs and 450 lbs respectively, the Titan Hitch Box Extension part # RP45292 will work well. This can extend as long as 34". Also, you will need to extended safety chains from your trailer to your tow vehicle.
Beyond the extender concern, you will need a hitch if your Lexus GX 470 doesn't have one factory included. The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch... 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.

The chains on a chain hanging weight distribution system such as # 17300 really do need to be straight up and down or the system will be ineffective. What I recommend is a system that bolts to the sides of the frame so that it will not interfere with anything mounted on top of the frame.
If you want to stay with the Curt system # 17300 then another option is to add brackets # C17005 which bolt to the sides of the frame. Ball 19286 also fits this system. Going with the Curt system and adding... 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.

I don't really know what you mean by side arms but the Blue Ox Aladdin Aluminum Tow Bar BX4325 can be used with a set of Roadmaster Base Plates like the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit part # 1168-1 which are a fit for your 2004 Lexus GX 470 with the use of the Roadmaster Tow Bar Adapter part # RM-032. view full answer...
