For your 2019 Lexus GX460 you are going to need the Tekonsha Custom Wiring Adapter for Trailer Brake Controllers - Pigtail - Toyota item # 3040-S. This is the wiring harness for the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller item # RED44FR you referred to. This will plug directly into that plug in your picture. view full answer...
I would be happy to recommend a brake controller with a control knob for your 2017 Lexus GX460. We have two options for wiring harnesses for your vehicle depending on the whether or not your Lexus has the towing package.
I recommend the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller item # RED44FR. This is a proportional brake controller with an adjustment knob that can be installed anywhere on your vehicles dash or console. If your vehicle does not have the tow package you will need to... view full answer...
Those are some great questions, Dave. The Landing Pad 30 # Y25ZR will require you to remove the factory flush rails and the kit includes 6 mounts so you would be able to reposition the crossbars to front, middle or rear. Or you could get a 3rd crossbar to fit all 3 of your mounting positions.
The Yakima SkyLine FX Crossbar 41-1/2" # Y35TR will fit the middle and rear positions while the 45-1/2" # Y95TR will fit the front only. This is because the roof rails on your 2023 Lexus GX 460 are... view full answer...
For a trailer with an aluminum frame, the use of weight distribution comes down to the trailer manufacturer, to the strength of the frame, like you said, and its ability to handle the stress of weight distribution. It sounds like they are saying not to use weight distribution with their trailer, so I definitely don't recommend it. view full answer...
Hey Manny,
Even with a smaller trailer, it is not overkill and you can absolutely benefit using the Gen-Y Glyder Shock Absorbing Ball Mount for 2" Hitches # 325-GH-12001.
A trailer, regardless of size, is still going to be rigid, bounce, and affect the ride of your tow vehicle and the trailer. So adding some cushioning like you get with the Glyder is definitely a good idea, and something I recommend.
So if you do decide to go with the ball mount you'll also need a hitch ball, either... view full answer...
Since you already have the crossbars on your 2023 Lexus GX 460 you would need to use either the 58" Long x 47" Wide # RR42115BF or 48" Long x 38" Wide # RR42114BF which will fit a crossbar up to 3" wide and 1-1/2" tall. You will want to verify this matches your crossbar as we do not have the dimensions off your factory bars.
The Platform # RR42TB you found will only mount using a specific fit kit which Rhino-Rack currently does not show available for your Lexus or you would have to have... view full answer...
I have a solution for your towing needs, however, there are currently no air suspension options for your 2017 Lexus GX460.
If you are wanting to extend the life of your vehicle's suspension and reduce body roll, I would look into rear suspension enhancement.
I recommend the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TTORSEQ. The hollow rubber springs sit above the rear axle to help level your vehicle and absorb shock, providing a much safer and more stable ride when hauling heavy loads.... view full answer...
We have several brake controllers to use with your 2018 Lexus GX 460. I recommend the Tekonsha Primus IQ, part # TK90160. This hooks up to your brake controller harness using the custom wiring adapter, part # 3040-P.
Without knowing what kind of dash plate you have or it's dimensions, I cannot say if this controller will fit with it. I've linked to a video installation of this controller so you can see if it can install the way you want it.
If you don't have the prep package for your... view full answer...
Thanks for reaching out, Neil!
Yes, the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Brake Controller # RED44FR is compatible with your 2017 Lexus GX 460. Since your vehicle has the factory tow package I recommend picking up the Curt Custom Wiring Adapter # C51362 and cutting off the black connector then splicing the universal wiring pigtail from the Redarc to the adapter so you get a plug-and-play setup. view full answer...
Hi Alejandro,
We offer a few different options that would work with your 235/75R15 tires, which I've attached a link to below. The Dexstar Steel Spoke Trailer Wheel # DEX54FR you were looking at would be a compatible fit as well and would be a match to your current wheel design. There are some 15" x 5" and 15" x 6" wheels in there, it doesn't affect fitment as both will work with this tire width. view full answer...
