I do have a solution for you to add towing mirrors to your 2008 Lexus GX 470 but unfortunately there are no custom towing mirrors that fit your Lexus.
Instead what I recommend using are the K-Source Universal Dual Lens Towing Mirrors # KS3990 because they fit most mirrors 4-1/2" to 11-1/2" tall and they have a dual lens for the most customization when it comes to your viewing experience while towing (the smaller mirrors are great for blind spots).

The Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain Tow Bar part # RM-677 is a really great tow bar and all you'd need to flat tow your 2004 Lexus GX 470 with it would be the Roadmaster base plate kit part # 1168-1 which is a confirmed fit.
For lighting you can use the diode kit, # RM-152, and not have to worry about cutting into the taillight housing. 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... view full answer...
We do have hitch options for your 2004 Lexus GX470. I recommend the Curt # 13445. This provides a 2 inch hitch for your bike rack of choice.
A great general use family style bike rack is the Thule Hitching post Pro # TH94XTR. It offers great versatility at a wonderful price point. If you would prefer a platform rack style I recommend the Hollywood Racks # HR1400Z for a 4 bike feature rich bike rack.
I have included links to the products referenced and you can see the current prices,... view full answer...
The Curt # 31367 is specific to the Toyota 4Runner and FJ Cruiser, so it will not fit your 2008 Lexus GX 470. I checked with Curt and Draw-Tite and, unfortunately, they do not offer front mount hitches for your vehicle. That being said, we definitely have options for a hitch on the camper and bike rack rated for use on said camper.
As to the hitch, the Curt # C13701 is adjust able from 18 inches to 51 inches wide, making it very versatile. It also has a tongue weight rating up to 500 pounds... view full answer...
To add brakes, you will need 4 bolt mounting flanges that are hopefully already included on your axle. If not, you will need to work with a certified welder to get them properly added. Assuming you have flanges or will have them professionally added, you will need to select hub-and-drum assemblies that are compatible with your trailer spindles. You will do this by matching the bearings and seals of your trailer with the proper hub-and-drum assemblies.

To determine if the Titan Disc Brake Kit # T4843300 that you referenced would work on your trailer will require you to remove one of the hubs on your trailer currently so that we can figure out what spindle you have. You will need to get the bearing numbers out of the hub or use a caliper to get exact dimensions of the spindle to determine what you have.
If the bearings of your hub are # L68149 and # L44649 then this kit will fit. You will need to make sure that your trailer wheels have... view full answer...
I highly recommend installing Hopkins Endurance Multi-Tow Adapter # HM48470. This replaces your RV's 7 way and gives you a 7 way AND 4 way flat connection. Then you can hook upMagnetic Tow Lights - Red LEDs - 4-Way Flat Connectors - 20' Long Harness # PE26UR directly to the 4 way flat provided on the adapter. These tow lights have a 20 foot long wiring harness; use 48" Long 4-Pole # HM47115 if you need 4 more feet of wiring.
For the charge line going to the towed vehicle's battery, you... 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...
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...
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...
To install the Prodigy P3 part # 90195 in your 2008 Lexus GX 470 that has a factory 7-way you'd only need the install harness part # 3040-P which plugs into the port under the dash of the vehicle.
If instead you wanted to hardwire the controller to the wiring you have now you'd need to run the black wire of the P3 to the wire that has voltage all the time (you'll need a circuit tester part # PTW2993 for this), the red wire runs to the wire that has voltage only when the brakes are applied.... 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.
For lighting you can use the diode kit, # RM-15267, and not have to worry about cutting into the taillight housing. 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...
First of all, congratulations because that is a great looking camper!
As long as the GTW and TW of your trailer does not exceed 4,500 lbs and 450 lbs respectively, the Titan Hitch Box Extension part # RP45292 will work well. This can extend as long as 34". Also, you will need to extended safety chains from your trailer to your tow vehicle.
Beyond the extender concern, you will need a hitch if your Lexus GX 470 doesn't have one factory included. The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch... 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...
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...
For your 2009 Lexus GX 470 with the rear door that opens to the right, I recommend using the Yakima EXO Swing Away Enclosed Cargo Carrier - 2" Hitches - 10 cu ft - 100 lbs # Y62VR. This is for use on 2-inch trailer hitch receivers, has a weight capacity of 100 pounds and provides 10 cubic feet of space for all of your cargo. The carrier is able to swing out to the right and away from the rear cargo area of your Lexus.
The pod itself on this system weighs only 28 pounds, so it can be easily... view full answer...
We have a custom fit Curt hitch part # 13445 which is a fit for your 2008 Lexus GX 470 but the # E-3S is designed for attaching to the bottom of truck bumpers so it would not fit your vehicle. The # 13445 attaches directly to the bottom of the vehicle frame which gives you a very solid connection. view full answer...
To install the Tekonsha Primus IQ Brake Controller # TK90160 on your 2005 Lexus GX 470 with the factory 7-Way connector all you need is the Plug-In Adapter # 3040-P. One end of the adapter will plug into the brake controller itself and the other end will connect to the factory port behind the dash of your Lexus for a completely plug-and-play installation.
The Primus IQ is a really nice controller that features 3 boost levels to let you adjust the initial braking power, an easy-to-read... view full answer...
The chains on a chain hanging weight distribution system such as # 17300 really do need to be straight up and down or the system will be ineffective. What I recommend is a system that bolts to the sides of the frame so that it will not interfere with anything mounted on top of the frame.
If you want to stay with the Curt system # 17300 then another option is to add brackets # C17005 which bolt to the sides of the frame. Ball 19286 also fits this system. Going with the Curt system and adding... view full answer...

The Draw-Tite # 75155 has a maximum gross trailer weight of 6,000 pounds and tongue weight of 600 pounds.
