  • Hitch Recommendation for a 2013 Lexus GX 460
  • Yes, I checked with Curt and the Curt trailer hitch part # C13043 that you referenced is confirmed to fit a 2013 Lexus GX460. The only option for trailer wiring is the dealer option that you guys probably sell. For ball mounts I recommend the etrailer Ball Mount Kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts, 2 balls, a hitch pin with clip, and a carrying bag.

  • Weight Distribution System Recommendation for a 2015 Lexus GX460
  • The best way to pick out a weight distribution system is to base it off of the loaded tongue weight of the setup when it is loaded and ready to tow. This figure also includes the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. I attached a help article on determining tongue weight for you to check out as well. You will want the loaded tongue weight of your setup to fall right in the middle of the tongue weight range of the system you use. None of the Blue Ox systems would...

  • Yakima Roof Rack that Fits 2018 Lexus GX 460
  • Thule actually changed the design of their square crossbars a couple years ago so any of the current rack fits would not be compatible with the older style of bar you have. The current bar now has a slot that runs down the bottom of the bar. Thule actually does not have a rack that fits your 2018 Lexus GX 460 but Yakima has their round bar roof rack part numbers # Y00408, # Y00145, and # Y03536 that would work well.

  • Strait Line Weight Distribution System Recommendation for Travel Trailer that Weighs 5200 lbs
  • The best way to pick out a weight distribution system is to base it off of the loaded tongue weight of the setup when it is loaded and ready to tow. This figure also includes the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. I attached an FAQ on determining tongue weight for you to check out as well. Typically tongue weight is 10-15 percent of the total trailer weight of the trailer. So for a 5200 lb trailer you would most likely have a tongue weight of between 520 lbs and...

  • Cargo Carrier Recommendation for 2016 Lexus GX 460 For Preventing Exhaust Heat to Carrier Contents
  • When a trailer hitch is installed on a 2016 Lexus GX 460 like the Curt # C13043 the exhaust tip is right at the same height as the hitch opening. So a cargo carrier that has a bit of a rise built into the shank will help get it out of the direct path of the exhaust. The Cargo Carrier, part # C18152, has a rise of 2-1/2 inches which is the highest we offer. It also has 11-1/4 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the nearest edge of the carrier which helps too as the more distance...

  • Weight Distribution Hitch for a C-Channel A-Frame Aluminum Horse Trailer
  • You are going to first need to contact the manufacturer of your horse trailer and ask if a weight distribution system is recommended. Sometimes aluminum trailer frames can be used with a WD, and sometimes it is not recommended. Also, you will need to ask about drilling into the frame of the trailer for the installation of the frame bracket. Due to the nature of your trailer frame there is no way to attach brackets to the side of the frame without drilling. The best way to pick out a weight...

  • Reducing Suspension Thud Caused By Speed Bumps On a 2017 Lexus GX 460
  • The Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TTORSEQ will help with your daily drive on your 2017 Lexus GX 460. The rubber springs are designed to help cushion the road shock that comes from pot holes and speed bumps. It will also stabilize your ride while you drive by providing more stability when turning.

  • Recommended Replacement Thule Lock Core for Old Thule 04833 Cargo Box
  • For your old Thule cargo box 04833, I recommend the Thule One-Key System # TH450200. This kit includes two lock cylinders, two keys and a Universal control key that will allow you to insert the new lock cylinder into the box. If you wanted the lock to be # THLOCKN022 to match a key you already have, you will just need the control key # 853-1251 to insert the core # THLOCKN022 into the box. If you don't have a key for this core you will need the Thule # THKEYN022 also. I have linked...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch And Wiring For 2012 Lexus GX 460
  • If you are talking about a GX 460, they all came with the wiring and it sounds like you have the hitch already installed on the vehicle. If it is a GS 460, we do not offer any components for towing with that vehicle. I am not sure how one half of a hitch would be installed on a 2012 GX 460. The trailer hitches we offer that are designed to fit the vehicle are one piece components that includes the receiver. The design of the trailer hitch for the Lexus is a much smaller hitch than what...

  • Parts Needed to Add a 7 Way Towing Connector to a 2018 Lexus GX 460
  • To get a 7 Way installed on your 2018 Lexus GX 460, you will need to start with a 4 Flat harness. If you already have this, you can jump to the next part. However, if you do not currently have one, I suggest the Tekonsha ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness # 119250KIT. This is designed for vehicles with more advanced computers and will not require splicing in to any of the wiring on the vehicle. Our Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller # ETBC7 will have the...

  • Recommended Hitch-Mounted Cargo Carrier For 2013 Lexus GX460 To Avoid Exhaust
  • The Carpod Hitch Cargo Carrier, part # M2200-01-02, may fit the hitch on your 2013 Lexus GX 460, but there are a couple of things you may want to consider. The first thing you will want to know is if the carrier will clear the rear bumper of your GX 460. I have attached a helpful article that explains how you can take a quick measurement to select the right cargo carrier for you. You will need a tape measure and a straight edge like a yardstick or a dowel. Hold the straight edge vertically...

  • Trailer Hitch and Cargo Carrier Recommendation for 2016 Lexus GX 460
  • You will need a hitch installed on your 2016 Lexus GX 460 before you can install a cargo carrier. For that the best option is the Draw Tite part # 75685 which is a confirmed fit. For a small cargo carrier that will fit this hitch the Curt part # C18145 that you referenced would be a great option as it is 17 inch by 46 inch.

  • What Crossbars Do I Need for a Thule Motion XT XL on My 2017 Lexus GX 460?
  • In order to mount the Thule Motion XT XL # TH629806 on the factory flush rails of your 2017 Lexus GX 460, I recommend the Yakima CoreBar Crossbars - Steel - Black - 50" # Y00421. One of the great features of the CoreBars is that it combines the strength of steel with an aerodynamic shape to create a heavy-duty yet quiet roof rack for your vehicle. The Thule Motion XT XL will be able to clamp onto the CoreBars. For a complete roof rack system for your 2017 Lexus GX 460, I recommend these...
