Expert Answers about Lexus GX 460


  • Will the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Clear the Rear Fascia on a 2014 Lexus GX 460
  • The Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 75685 does have a receiver that sticks out a little further than the Curt hitch for your 2014 Lexus GX 460. This means the Draw-Tite trailer hitch will do a better job at clearing the rear fascia. I have included a picture from the instructions, which are also linked, showing the approximate position of the hitch relative to the rear fascia. If you plan on doing some towing I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with...

  • Can Spacers be Used for Installation of Curt Hitch on 2018 Lexus GX 460?
  • I do not recommend using spacers to install the Curt # C13043 hitch on your 2018 Lexus GX 460; it needs to be flush against the bumper bracket of your vehicle. I do recommend trimming that panel slightly to remove the slight distortion and ensure the hitch is installed level.

  • Installation of Tekonsha Brake Controller on 2016 Lexus GX 460 with Adapter 3040-P
  • You are able to use the # 3040-P to install the Tekonsha Primus IQ # 90160 on your 2016 Lexus GX 460 without any issues. I can't say we've ever heard of anyone ever reporting this back to us and as you mentioned, the vehicle is already set up to be used with a trailer with brakes, so I the vehicle is already set up to be used in this manner.

  • Best Place to Mount Hopkins Graduated RV Levels on Trailer
  • There is no specific location where you mount the Hopkins Graduated RV Levels, # HM08525. Personally I would consider where I would be standing as I worked to make the RV or trailer level and I would place the levels in the most convenient place for that process.

  • Curt Trailer Hitch Hits Small Lip on Fender on 2015 Lexus GX 460
  • The installation instructions do not mention anything about it. Generally speaking if something is preventing proper installation of a trailer hitch, such as # C13043 for your 2015 Lexus GX 460, then the obstruction would either have to be removed or modified. If you are talking about that cover that is directly above the receiver then you should be able to go ahead and torque the bolts down as specified in the instructions. It may cause that fascia piece to flex some but wouldn't hurt...

  • Does the Rhino Rack RRRBC045 Tilt Away to Allow you to Open the Rear Cargo Hatch on 2020 Lexus GX460
  • While we haven't tested the Rhino Rack # RRRBC045 on the 2020 Lexus GX 460, in most cases you will be able to open the rear tail gate on your vehicle with the rack still attached; it's not recommended that you do this with the bikes on the rack, but as long as they're unloaded it's not an issue.

  • Torque Specs for Timbren Rear Suspension System # TTORSEQ
  • I spoke with my contact at Timbren and he said they don't have an official torque spec for the hardware on the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TTORSEQ you referenced but tightening all the hardware to around 20 foot-pounds will be sufficient. These springs are confirmed to fit your 2012 Lexus GX 460 and feature a 6,000 pound capacity. I have attached the written instructions and a video demonstration that you can check out as well.

  • Factory Plug Location on 2014 Lexus GX 460 for Installing Tekonsha Primus IQ Brake Controller
  • Yes, the factory plug you found above the brake pedal on your 2014 Lexus GX 460 is indeed what you will connect the Plug-In Wiring Adapter # 3040-P to. One end of the adapter will connect directly to this port in your vehicle, and the other end will plug right into your Tekonsha Primus IQ Trailer Brake Controller # TK90160. This is all you need to do to install the brake controller on your Lexus GX 460.

  • How far down does the Yakima OnRamp # Y36FR Tilt Down?
  • I have a solution for you. Unfortunately, I called my contact at Yakima, and he said that he does not have the spec for the angle of maximum tilt or the length of tilt for the Yakima OnRamp Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount # Y36FR. However, I did include a picture of the 1-1/4 Inch version of the rack # Y96FR tilted to provide some perspective. With that being said, another potentially better option would be the Thule EasyFold XT # TH903202. The Easy Fold also...

  • Roof Rack and Cargo Carrier for a 2022 Lexus GX 460 with Factory Flush Side Rails
  • According to the installation instructions for the Landing Pad 30 for Yakima SkyLine And Control Towers # Y25ZR, you will have to remove the flush mounted side rails to mount the landing pads. I do have another option for you that does not require the removal of your flush mounted rails. The 2022 Lexus GX 460 Roof Rack by Inno which uses the Custom Fit Kit for Inno # INTR152 will not require the removal of your rails. I have included a photo of this fit kit on a Lexus GX 460 so you can...

  • Roof Rack or Platform Rack For A 2019 Lexus GX460
  • The Rhino-Rack RVP Roof Rack for Fixed Mounting Points # RRRVP23 does require you to remove the flush side rails or raised roof rails in order to access the fixed mounting points and install. The Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform Rack with Backbone Mounting System - 84" Long x 49" Wide # RR93AB also installs directly to the fixed factory mounting points on your vehicle's roof. With either flush or raised rails, there is no Yakima round bar solution that fits the Pioneer rack or on the...

  • How to Install a Brake Controller on a 2018 Lexus GX 460
  • I have attached a photo of what the pigtail on the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for Electric Brake Controllers part # 3040-P looks like. If this plug matches the plug on your vehicle then it will allow you to install the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Trailer Brake Controller part # 90885 on your 2018 Lexus GX 460. I called Tekonsha and they have not yet confirmed this harness to work on your vehicle as it has not been tested. However, as long as the plugs are the same it should still work for...

  • The Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller part # 90195 is a confirmed fit for a 2018 Lexus GX 460 when used with the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for Electric Brake Controllers part # 3040-P. The harness is plug-in-play for the exception of the white wire which will need to be grounded to the body with a self-taping screw or you can try to find an existing ground nearby.

  • Crossbar Spacing For A Yakima LockNLoad Platform Rack On A 2018 Lexus GX 460
  • The Yakima LockNLoad Platform Roof Tray # Y05044 (K) you're looking at requires that the spacing from the center of the front crossbar to the center of the rear crossbar needs to be 27" to 33" apart. The platform rack will most likely overlap with the sunroof.

  • Yes, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13043 which is a fit for a 2018 Lexus GX 460 can be used as a recovery point and will provide sufficient capacity for this vehicle. This can be done with either the safety chain loops or by using something like the MaxxTow Tow Strap Loop for 2" Trailer Hitches part # MT70029.
