Expert Answers about Lexus GX 460


  • Hitch Receiver and Weight Distribution System for a 2018 Lexus GX 460
  • I would be happy to help you find those parts and set your 2018 Lexus GX 460 up for towing your Winniebago Hike Trailer. There are a couple of class III hitches that are available for your Lexus but no class IV hitches available. This won't be a problem as the class III's have plenty of capacity. I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver item # 75685. This hitch has a maximum gross trailer weight of 5,000 lbs and a maximum tongue weight capacity of 500 lbs. You will want...

  • Trailer Hitch and Trailer Wiring for 2017 Lexus GX460
  • From your photo, it looks like you already have a 4-pole/7-way trailer trailer connector on your Lexus GX-460 that's identical to the # HM40975 we offer. This means that if you're towing a trailer that does not have electric brakes, you're good to go once the # C13043 hitch is installed. If the trailer does have electric brakes, you'll need to install a brake controller if you'd like them to actuate. I'd recommend the Redarc Tow Pro Liberty, part # RED24FR. You'll also need the # 3040-P...

  • Can A 4.80-12 Tire Be Replaced With A ST145/R12 Tire
  • Yes, The Kenda Karrier S-Trail ST145/R12 Radial Trailer Tire # AM10130 will fit the same 12 inch wheel with a 4 inch width that your existing 4.80-12 size tires are mounted to. The ST145/R12 tire will be about 0.8 inches larger in diameter, so you will want to make sure you have the necessary clearance on your trailer for the slightly larger tires. The Kenda radial tire has a ply rating 8 and has a maximum load at 1,220 pounds at 65 psi. The maximum speed of the tire is 81 mph with a...

  • Hitch Receiver and Wiring Harness for a 2021 Lexus GX460
  • I have a solution for you but we do not have any class VI hitches. Not sure if that is a typo or not. There are class III hitches available for your 2021 Lexus GX460. The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver 2" item # 75685 is custom fit and bolts directly to your Lexus with included hardware. If you need a wiring harness to control your trailer's lighting functions you will want the Tekonsha ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness w/ 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector and Installation...

  • Will Yakima Y02457 RidgeBack 2 Bike Rack Require Adapter Bar for Women's or Mountain Bikes
  • The answer to your question will depend on the actual geometry of your bike's frames. If the women's bike has a step through frame, you would indeed need an adapter bar like # 64005 in order to prevent the bikes from being carried at a sharp angle that would compromise ground clearance or put one of the tires close to the exhaust pipe. If the women's bike has a more standard type frame, given the height of the GX460 you'll most likely get by without one. If the mountain bike has a generally...

  • Will Thule Roof Rack Fit a 2019 Lexus GX 460
  • I have a roof rack that fits your 2019 Lexus GX 460, however, at this point in time (January 2022) Thule doesn't have a roof rack fit for your vehicle. They are actively coming out with new fit kits since they had their major design change so it may still be possible for them to come out with a roof rack for your vehicle, I just don't have a timeline for you. For an alternative solution I recommend checking out the Inno aero-style roof rack. This has a 140 lb weight capacity but it fits...

  • Recommended Towing Mirrors for 2017 Lexux GX460
  • Yes; you can use the CIPA Universal Fit Towing Mirrors - Strap On - Qty 2 # 40375-2 you were looking at and they'll fit well on your 2017 Lexus GX460; these are the longest mirrors we've got that will fit on your vehicle and they'll provide a nice view behind your vehicle. You could also use the K-Source Universal Towing Mirrors - Clip On - Flat Mirror - Qty 2 # KS69ZR, which I really like since they've got a bit larger mirror face. These K-Source mirrors have ratcheting straps to secure...

  • 2020 Lexus GX 460 Brake Controller and Wiring Recommendations
  • You need to use a brake controller designed for your 2020 Lexus GX 460 as if it didn't have the factory tow package because the factory tow package options plug into pre-existing wiring. For a brake controller setup on your GX 460 I recommend the following: - ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness # 119250KIT - Universal Wiring Kit # ETBC7 - No-Drill Mount Bracket # 18136 - Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller # RED24FR - Universal Wiring Pigtail # RED69FR If you already...

  • Recommended Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier for Flush Mounted Rails on 2014 Lexus GX 460
  • We can help you find the parts you're looking for, and really, if you're using a set of crossbars with T-slot mounting paired with accessories that mount in those channels the clearance from the roof won't be a factor. With that said, the Inno kit you mentioned would potentially work, but I do have something that has a bit taller towers to give you some extra clearance from the roof. I recommend using the Yakima Roof Rack for 2014 Lexus GX460 using parts # Y00425, # Y00145 and # Y28FR....

  • Parts Needed For Towing a Car Hauler Trailer With a 2010 Lexus GX 460 Without Factory Tow Package
  • Since the aftermarket receivers like the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e46YR are only rated for up to 5,000lbs towing capacity for your 2010 Lexus GX 460 you will need to have a custom receiver fabricated. You should be able to use this receiver but will want to find a fabrication shop that will do the work for the receiver to determine exactly what is needed. Often times the factory tow package will include a transmission cooler. As there is not an aftermarket option you can verify...

  • Upgrading Reese Weight Distribution # RE34FR to 800 Pounds of Tongue Weight
  • I have a higher capacity solution for you. I confirmed with Reese that they do not currently manufacture higher-capacity bars to upgrade the weight capacity of your Reese Pro Round Bar System # RE34FR. With that being said, we do carry the upgraded weight capacity model of the # RE34FR. That is the Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution w Sway Control - Round Bar - 11,500 lbs GTW, 1,150 lbs TW # RE44FR. The tongue weight of this hitch is 600 lbs - 1,150 lbs.

  • Complete Trailer Hitch And Wiring For A 2020 Lexus GX 460
  • Right now, there are no class IV rated trailer hitches for your 2020 Lexus GX 460, however, we do have the: -Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13043. While this isn't a class IV hitch, this is still rated for a considerable 5,000-lbs GTW, and a 500-lbs max tongue weight. I also went ahead and checked the owner's manual for your vehicle's gross trailer weight rating, and they explicitly state to never exceed 6,500-lbs when towing a trailer, and that rating is much closer to a class III hitch...

  • Wiring Adapter to Install Redarc Tow Pro Elite Brake Controller in 2017 Lexus GX460
  • To install the Redarc # RED44FR Tow Pro Elite in your 2016 Lexus GX460, you'd need the # 3040-P brake controller wiring pigtail and # 331-TPH-017. The # 3040-P plugs into the factory brake controller port, and then the # 331-TPH-017 plugs in-between that harness and the controller. You are absolutely correct, the factory brake controller connector is located right next to the e-brake. For those that don't care to have the typical brake controller box installed on the underside of the...

  • Roof Rack Recommendation for Carry Thule Motion XT Box on a 2023 Lexus GX 460
  • It does look like the OEM roof rack kit on your 2023 Lexus GX 460 is going to sit really close to your roof so I recommend replacing that with an aftermarket system to ensure you have enough clearance to your roof for the Thule Motion XT Rooftop Cargo Box # TH629706 to fit. I recommend using the Yakima JetStream system which includes the following parts: - 50" JetStream Crossbars # Y00425 - SightLine Towers # Y64AR - SightClip Fit Kit # Y96AR - Lock Core Kit # Y07204 (optional)
