Expert Answers about Lexus GX 470


  • Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform Rack for a 2009 Lexus GX 470
  • The 60" x 49" Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform Rack # RR35TB requires specific fit kits and is only compatible with certain vehicles. We do have a Pioneer platform rack that will fit the factory crossbars on your 2009 Lexus GX 470 but unfortunately this is not the correct part number. Instead you need to use the 58" x 47" Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform Rack # RR42115BF which is a universal fit that is compatible with round, square, elliptical, and most factory crossbars. This rack features mounting...

  • Parts Needed to Tow a Trailer with a 2005 Lexus GX 470
  • The trailer hitch receiver I suggest is the Draw-Tite Max-Frame # 75155. This is a 2 inch, Class III hitch receiver confirmed to fit your 2005 Lexus GX 470. I've linked an install video on a 2004 which will be the same. You'll need a wiring harness on the Lexus to power the trailer's lights. Use # C59236. It's circuit protect so you won't have to worry about the wiring of your Lexus being damaged from shorts. For a pin and clip to fit you can use # PC3 or if you'd like to have a locking...

  • 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.

  • Is There a Correct Breakaway Cable for Surge Brakes on 2002 Sea Ray Boat Trailer
  • In order to tell you the correct breakaway cables for the surge brakes on your 2002 Sea Ray single axle trailer I'd first need to know what actuator is installed on your trailer. You might be able to use the Replacement Safety Cable for Demco Hydraulic Brake Actuators # DM12200 but you'd need to ensure that the 28" length is correct for you and that the 1/4" screw and 1-1/2" length is enough for your actuator. If this option doesn't work, let me know what surge brake actuator you have...

  • Best Hitch Option to Carry a Bike Rack and Cargo Carrier for a 2007 Lexus GX 470
  • We do have a trailer hitch for your vehicle, however, the Draw-Tite Hitch Reciever, part # 75685 is not a confirmed fit for the 2007 Lexus GX470. It is designed to fit the GX460 from 2010 to 2017. Hitch receivers are designed for specific vehicles and shouldn't be used on vehicles they aren't intended for. Instead, I recommend the Curt Class III Round Tube Receiver, part # 13445. This will provide your vehicle with a strong mounting point for whatever you'd like to carry. For a bike...

  • Will Timbren Jounce Spring TTORSEQ Make Off-Road Ride Quality Rough
  • Timbren rear axle jounce spring kits, like # TTORSEQ that fits your 2005 Lexus GX 470, are normally not engaged with the axle with the vehicle unloaded, meaning not full of passengers and/or cargo and not loaded by trailer tongue weight. If you were to be on a rough off-road surface with the vehicle unloaded you would be likely to feel the springs engage the axle when a wheel suddenly climbs up out of a rut. Since these springs are rated for 6000-lbs they are pretty stiff. They will support...

  • Using the Thule Hitching Post Pro Part # TH934XTR on a 2006 Lexus GX470
  • The Thule Hitching Post Pro part # TH934XTR does tilt rather far compared to other models. However, as we have not yet installed this rack on a 2006 Lexus GX470 I would not be able to confirm that the rear hatch can be swung open with the rack installed. There also cannot be any bikes on the rack while it is tilted down. The Hitching Post Pro is a bike rack manufactured by Thule exclusively for us. They do not offer it to any other clients. If you would like to add a lock to this rack...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch and Related Items for 2006 Lexus GX 470
  • Your 2006 Lexus GX 470 is part of this vehicle's first generation, which ran through 2009. Model years 2010 and later are the second generation and differences in the frame structure are what require different hitch fits. Curt hitch # C13043 that you referenced only fits the second generation model years starting with 2010. For your 2006 GX 470 you can use any of the 2-inch Class III hitches shown on the linked page. All of these frame-mount hitches install without drilling, include the...

  • Will Rightline Gear SUV Tent Fit Lexus GX 470 with Side-Opening Rear Door
  • It is possible to use the Rightline Gear SUV Tent # RL110907 with your Lexus GX 470 that has a side-opening rear hatch. I spoke with my contact at Rightline and she confirmed that tent can work with a vehicle like your GX 470. There are some things to keep in mind that will be different with a side-opening rear hatch. Since the tent was designed to use the rear hatch to help support part of the tent roof, with a side-opening hatch there will likely be some sagging at this part of the...

  • 4-Way Trailer Connector for a 2004 Lexus GX 470
  • The T-One # 118245 that you referenced will fit a 2004 Lexus LX 470 or RX 300 but for your GX 470 you need the universal harness # C59496 if your vehicle didn't come with the tow package. If your Lexus is the GX 470 and it did come with the tow package and you are wanting to use a 4-Way instead of a 7-Way then you can use the Hopkins Plug-In Simple Vehicle Wiring Harness # HM43374 instead which has both a 4-Way and a 7-Way connector.

  • Will the Roadmaster Guardian and Tow Defender Work with the Nighthawk Tow Bar
  • I do have an option for you but I spoke with my contact at Roadmaster and they informed me that the Roadmaster Stowaway Storage System part # RM-4000-40 which is used to attach the Roadmaster Guardian Rock Guard part # RM-4000 on the back on an RV will not work with the Roadmaster Tow Defender Protective Screening part # RM-4700. In order to use both the Stowaway and the Guardian on your vehicle with a protective screen you will need to use the Roadmaster Tow Defender Protective Screening...

  • Leg Spacers for the Rhino-Rack RCH Legs
  • If you're looking for the leg spacers to mount Heavy-Duty crossbars to your RCH Legs, part # RRRCH6, then the correct part number for those are # RRQMHD05. With these, you'll be able to mount Rhino-Rack HD Bars, part # RB1250. This may seem confusing at first because the fit-guide states that these are not compatible with your 2007 Lexus GX 470. However, in this particular (and very rare) case, the specific vehicle does not matter because these are attaching to the legs. In other words,...

  • Replacement Wheel for Demco Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dolly
  • I spoke with our tire and wheel expert (30+ years in the business) and he stated that Demco is rounding the bolt pattern up to 115mm. This often happens with companies that do not manufacturer the tires and wheels. Wheel # DM11574 is indeed the exact replacement from Demco for the KarKaddy SS tow dolly.

  • Towing Mirrors For A 2008 Lexus GX 470
  • Item # CM11401 is not compatible with a 2008 Lexus GX470 as these are a custom fit mirror. I recommend the CIPA Universal Fit Towing Mirror Item # 40375. This mirror fit most applications and fits driver side and passenger side. This is a single mirror so if you are needing a second one, just use the same part number. This mirror will not interfere with the normal functions of the factory mirror.

  • Fit of AirBedz XUV Air Mattress 341030 in 2006 Lexus GX 470
  • AirBedz XUV Air Mattress # 341030 will require removing both the second and third row seats in your 2006 Lexus GX 470 in order for the mattress to fit perfectly flat. The mattress is 66-inches long so the only way it would lay flat with the 2nd row seats still installed is if you had 66-inches from the back of the second row seats to the rear hatch. Otherwise with the 2nd row seats only folded down the mattress would indeed be at a different height at each end. This mattress is available...

  • Does Curt Hitch For 2004 Lexus GX 470 Line Up to Bolt Holes
  • The bolt holes on your 2004 Lexus GX 470 will line up perfectly when installing the Curt hitch that fits, which is the following part: - Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13445 There is also no need to partially disassemble the bumper; the hitch will simply line up to the bolt holes and you will install the hitch with the included bolts. I have added a link below to the installation instructions for you to check out as well if you'd like to take a look.
