For your 2009 Lexus GX 470 with the rear door that opens to the right, I recommend using the Yakima EXO Swing Away Enclosed Cargo Carrier - 2" Hitches - 10 cu ft - 100 lbs # Y62VR. This is for use on 2-inch trailer hitch receivers, has a weight capacity of 100 pounds and provides 10 cubic feet of space for all of your cargo. The carrier is able to swing out to the right and away from the rear cargo area of your Lexus.
The pod itself on this system weighs only 28 pounds, so it can be easily... view full answer...
Trailer hitches get their capacities based on the vehicle, how they install on the vehicle, how they are designed, and how they are tested. With all of these factors involved you can have hitches of the same Class with slightly different capacities. All of the hitches for your GX 470 are Class III hitches.
The key is to compare the vehicle capacities usually found in the owners manual, with the hitch capacities and go with whichever is lower, the hitch or the vehicle. I have included a... view full answer...
To install the Prodigy P3 part # 90195 in your 2008 Lexus GX 470 that has a factory 7-way you'd only need the install harness part # 3040-P which plugs into the port under the dash of the vehicle.
If instead you wanted to hardwire the controller to the wiring you have now you'd need to run the black wire of the P3 to the wire that has voltage all the time (you'll need a circuit tester part # PTW2993 for this), the red wire runs to the wire that has voltage only when the brakes are applied.... view full answer...
For your 2009 Lexus GX470 I recommend Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 75155. This hitch has a 2 inch receiver and is rated for 600 pounds tongue weight (limited to the tongue weight capacity of the vehicle if lower). This hitch is a great option for use with a cargo carrier.
If your cargo carrier fits a 2 inch hitch receiver you won't need anything else. But if it fits a 1-1/4 inch hitch then you would need to use a reducer sleeve, # HT02. When using this reducer the tongue weight is limited... 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 Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75155 is rated for 6,000lbs trailer weight and 600lbs tongue weight. If you use a weight distribution hitch this is raised to 7,300lbs trailer weight and 730lbs tongue weight for the hitch. This will not increase your capacity only allow you to tow the 6,500lbs that your 2007 Lexus GX 470 is rated for.
There currently is not a class IV receiver available for your Lexus.
I recommend the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System # EQ37060ET... view full answer...
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...
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...
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). Attached is a review video for you to... 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...
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...
For your 2003 Lexus GX470 the Hopkins 7-way part # HM43374 is the correct fit and would plug right into the two connectors you sent in a picture of. No cutting or splicing required. Then to install a brake controller all you need is a quick install harness like the part # 3040-P with a Tekonsha controller like our best selling P3 part # 90195 and you'd be set. view full answer...
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 transmission fluid temperature you have of 210 degrees while towing up an incline is a little high but once you hit flat ground, the 185-195 degree range that you have is perfect. Therefore, I do recommend you install a supplemental transmission cooler for towing up inclines. For this, the Derale 12" Frame Rail Transmission Cooler part # D13222 that you referenced is okay but I recommend the Derale 17" Dual-Pass Heat Sink Transmission Cooler part # D13264 because this will be more durable... 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. If you decide... view full answer...
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...
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...
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.

To determine if the Titan Disc Brake Kit # T4843300 that you referenced would work on your trailer will require you to remove one of the hubs on your trailer currently so that we can figure out what spindle you have. You will need to get the bearing numbers out of the hub or use a caliper to get exact dimensions of the spindle to determine what you have.
If the bearings of your hub are # L68149 and # L44649 then this kit will fit. You will need to make sure that your trailer wheels have... 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...
