The Hopkins Plug-In Simple Vehicle Wiring Harness # HM43374 is the correct wiring if your 2003 Lexus GX 470 came with the factory 7-Way and should be used as a replacement. If your vehicle didn't come with the factory 7-Way then the only way that I know how to help you is to offer theModulite Vehicle Wiring Harness Kit # C59236 which comes with just the 4-Way but does require splicing for the installation.
If your GX 470 did come with the factory 7-Way the only other thing I would know... view full answer...
I have a few options for you to help with identifying the correct replacement hubs on your trailer. The first and easiest method would be to crawl under the trailer and look for the axle tag on the beam. This should give an axle capacity which we can then use to find the bearings based off industry standards. For example, a 7,000 lb axle uses 25580 and 14125A bearings like what comes with the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly part # AKHD-865-7-2-K. The other option would be to take the hubs... view full answer...

The Draw Tite hitch part # 75155 is the best option for your 2005 Lexus GX 470 as it has the best towing capacities and comes with a 7-way mounting bracket for trailer wiring if you were to end up towing. It also has the most hidden look which is similar to an OEM solution. view full answer...

The Hopkins Plug-In Simple Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package part # HM43374 which is a fit for a 2007 Lexus GX 470 with tow package features a one-piece molded connector and harness. The trailer connector is non-removable like some other options you'll see.

Simply locate the two plugs that the harness will use at the back of the vehicle... view full answer...

The 2004 Lexus GX470 can be flat-towed behind a motorhome with all four wheels down. That said, in order to do so you will need to obtain a driveshaft disconnect coupling from a third party which is what allows the vehicle to be flat-towed without damage. I have attached for you below some parts you will need for the above.
Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit part # 1168-1
Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar part # RM-520
RoadMaster Coiled Safety Cables part # RM-643

For carrying the Kayak I recommend installing roof rails on your 2007 Lexus GX 470. With the rails you will be able to mount the Malone DownLoader Kayak Carrier # MPG114MD to the rails and will be able to carry 2 kayaks on your roof.
If your Lexus already has the factory side rails that run front to back, the Inno Aero Crossbars # INXB130-2 and Inno Through Feet for Aero Crossbars # INXS150 will be what you need for the kayak carrier.
With no factory rails you will need the Rhino-Rack... view full answer...

We went out to our warehouse and measured an overall height with the mounting bracket of 5 inches for the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TTORSEQ. Timbren recommends having a 1/2 inch to 1-1/2 inches between the spring and the axle when the truck is empty so if you measure between the frame where your bump stop is mounted and the axle and get greater than 6-1/2 inches you will want to fill that gap with a spacer or two.
We have 1 inch Spacers with # TA25723-90AD00 or 1/2 inch... view full answer...
It depends on how far the door swings out on your Lexus, but what I can tell you is the measurement from the center of the hitch to the swing-away arm is 33 inches on the Yakima EXO system you asked about:
- Yakima EXO Swing Away Storage System w/ 2 Enclosed Cargo Carriers - 2" Hitches # Y74ZR
I have added a photo of the EXO system showing this measurement, which should tell you if you can fully open the rear door without any interference. No matter what you will be able to open the door... view full answer...
The trailer hitches for your 2006 Lexus GX 470 are frame mounted hitches that do not attach to the metal bumper beam like some hitches for other vehicles. Each vehicle has to be examined and a hitch made to fit at the safest and easiest to reach places. On a 2006 they had to design hitches to attach to the vehicle frame.
A popular hitch for your 2006 GX 470 is # 75155. I have included a link to a video showing installation of this hitch for you.

For a rear cargo area WeatherTech mat for your 2008 Lexus GX 470 the part # WT42240 is a confirmed fit that would work well.
This mat would not interfere with your third row seats. The mat could be left in the car with the seats out. view full answer...
It sounds like you've already got a wiring harness installed potentially, so starting with a hitch I recommend using the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 13445, which is a confirmed fit on your 2009 Lexus GX 470. In my experience, Curt hitches have a thicker powder coating that helps protect the hitch from scratches and dings, so it's going to be less susceptible to corrosion over the long run. If your Lexus GX 470 doesn't have a wiring harness but has the tow... view full answer...
Item # CM11401 is not compatible with a 2008 Lexus GX470 as these are a custom fit mirror. I recommend the CIPA Universal Fit Towing Mirror Item # 40375. This mirror fit most applications and fits driver side and passenger side. This is a single mirror so if you are needing a second one, just use the same part number. This mirror will not interfere with the normal functions of the factory mirror. view full answer...
The Thule Hitching Post Pro part # TH934XTR does tilt rather far compared to other models. However, as we have not yet installed this rack on a 2006 Lexus GX470 I would not be able to confirm that the rear hatch can be swung open with the rack installed. There also cannot be any bikes on the rack while it is tilted down.
The Hitching Post Pro is a bike rack manufactured by Thule exclusively for us. They do not offer it to any other clients. If you would like to add a lock to this rack... view full answer...
For your 2007 Lexus GX470 we have the Roadmaster base plate kit part # 1185-1 as a confirmed fit that would also work great with your Roadmaster Sterling tow bar # RM-576.

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 6-way connector that you will install on the front... view full answer...
Sounds like somehow there's a short between the reverse light circuit of your trailer wiring on your vehicle and the rest of the trailer wiring. What I would recommend you do is use a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 to test the pins of your trailer wiring like what the attached video link shows and then repeat the test with the reverse lights on too to see what circuit might have the short. If the trailer wiring of the vehicle was aftermarket and installed by you or someone else I'd... view full answer...
The only trailer hitch options for a 2006 Lexus GX 470 are those that include a cross tube, they don't offer any that simply bolt to the center of the bumper. The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 75155 has the highest weight capacity and it comes with a partial trailer connector mounting bracket so this is what I recommend. It only weighs about 30 lbs. view full answer...
