Expert Answers about Lexus LX 470


  • Will a Carpod Walled Cargo Carrier Fit a 2004 Lexus LX470
  • The warning is for the Carpod Walled Cargo Carrier, # M2200, because there is only 4 inches between the center of the hitch pin hole and the nearest part of the carrier. Normally, to determine fit, you would measure from the hitch pin hole center on the vehicle, out to the distance required to clear the rear of the vehicle. Without the hitch installed, it is more difficult. What I recommend is to err on the side of caution. What you can do is to use the Curt Multipurpose Ball Mount, #...

  • Which Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2005 Lexus LX470
  • I reached out to Draw-Tite and Curt directly and unfortunately cannot confirm that either the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75095 or the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13443 will accommodate the larger 285/75r16 33inch spare tire you mentioned on your 2005 Lexus LX 470. This is because both trailer hitch receivers were made to fit factory 31inch tires and have not been tested with anything larger. Curt sent me a picture that shows some clearance around the spare tire, but...

  • Trailer Wiring for 2000 Lexus LX 470 Manufactured in August 1999
  • Thanks for the pictures! To determine if your Lexus 470 is indeed a 1999 or 2000, you can look under the hood for an emissions testing sticker which will give the year or you can call your local Lexus dealer with the VIN and they should be able to clear this up for you. If your vehicle is indeed a 1999, the Curt Custom Fit T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness, # C55365, will work for you. If it is a 2000, then the wiring harness for you would be the Upgraded Circuit Protected Taillight...

  • Will 10 Trailer Brakes and etrailer Hub and Drum Assembly 10 Fit TImbren Axle-Less ASR2KHDS03?
  • They sure are! The Timbren Heavy-Duty Axle-Less Trailer Suspension - 4" Lift Spindle - Wide Tires - 2,000 lbs # ASR2KHDS03 you were looking at has the 4 bolt mounting flange which will fit the Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Kit w/ Parking Brakes - 10" - Left/Right Hand Assemblies - 3.5K # K23-086-087-00 perfectly. In addition the Timbren # ASR2KHDS03 uses inner bearing # L68149 and outer bearing # L44649 which is exactly what the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 3.5K E-Z Lube Axles - 10"...

  • How to Use Thule Hullavator on 2003 Lexus LX 470 w/ Factory Roof Rack
  • Thanks so much for the photo, and there is a way to use the Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier # TH898 on your 2003 Lexus LX 470, but there isn't an adapter or way to use it on your factory roof rack, so what you'd need to do is get a new roof rack, from Thule. Since your Lexus has raised side rails, you'd just need the following parts: - Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars - Silver # TH711200 or Black # TH711220 - Evo Raised Rail Feet for Thule Crossbars # TH710401 - Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak...

  • Recommended Roadmaster Base Plate Kit For 2000 Lexus LX 470
  • For your LX 470 I recommend the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # 1151-1 which was designed for the 1999-2002 Lexus LX 470 and Toyota Land Cruiser. To complete your flat tow setup you will also need a tow bar, safety cables, wiring for lights, and a supplemental braking system. I recommend the Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar # RM-522 which will make unhooking your vehicle a breeze even on un-even ground, and will work perfectly with the Direct Connect Base...

  • Prodigy Brake Controller and Wiring Harness Compatible with 2006 Lexus LX470
  • For your 2006 Lexus LX 470, I recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller # 90195. This controller is an updated model to the Prodigy and Prodigy P2 # 90885 so you will have some troubleshooting and other information that is clearly given on the LCD screen versus a code to decipher. I've linked the videos of each to assist with a comparison. With any of the Tekonsha brake controllers on your vehicle you will utilize the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for Electric Brake...

  • Lightweight Ramps for Help with Loading Animals Into an SUV
  • The Flint Hill Goods 30x50 Cargo Carrier part # FHG77ZR that you referenced does weigh 80 pounds. Unfortunately, all of the cargo carriers we offer with a built-in ramp are going to exceed the 40 lb limit you referred to. However, we do have one carrier that is close. Check out the Flint Hill Goods # FHG67ZR. It is made of aluminum and has a 500- pound capacity. It weighs 54.5 pounds and has a 40" long ramp. This ramp is shorter than the other 48" ramps or even 60" ramps, so you would...

  • Will 2004 Lexus LX 470 SumoSprings Affect Unloaded Ride Quality
  • The SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs # SS78DR won't affect the ride quality of your 2004 Lexus LX 470 when you aren't towing - this is one of the great things about the SumoSprings kits. SuperSprings says this kit is 11" tall so it depends on how much space you have between the mounting location and where this jounce spring makes contact with your vehicle. If you have 11" of space with the vehicle at the lowest setting then you'll be good to go. If it's less than 11" then you might...

  • Brake Controller Wiring Adapter for a 2004 Lexus LX 470
  • Yes, if your 2004 Lexus LX 470 has the factory tow package then you can use the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter # 3040-P along with the Redarc Tow-Pro Wiring Adapter # 331-TPH-017 so you get a plug and play type of installation for the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Brake Controller # RED63RR. Attached are some videos for you to check out!

  • Options to Add a Brake Actuator to an Off-Road Trailer
  • As the Demco Hydraulic Brake Actuator # DM8759422 uses a compression shock that is designed specifically for this, it will not be able to be replaced with a smaller spring. That being said, this is pretty highly rated for a 2,600 pound trailer. Unfortunately, we do not have an actuator like this with a lower rating at this time. What may be a better option, will be to go with an electric over hydraulic actuator, like the HydraStar # HBA16, and then pair it with the Lock N Roll Articulating...

  • Can the 17' Solera Family Room # LC362232 Fit an Airtstream Trailer
  • The only issue I see with you installing the 17' Solera Family Room # LC362232 on your Airstream is that some of the installation requires that you make some attachments to your RV itself. With your Airstream being more rounded it could be a little tricky to install. I reached out to my contact at Lippert who said that you would just need to make sure that you have the extra slack needed for the sides to touch your trailer. Since it isn't a perfect seal it isn't a big deal to have some...

  • Weight Capacity For the Rhino-Rack Pioneer SX Platform Rack On a 2002 Lexus LX 470
  • Yes, the Rhino-Rack Pioneer SX Platform Rack part # JA9134 can support 180 lbs so long as the weight capacity of the roof on your 2002 Lexus LX 470 which the above is a fit for can also support 180 lbs plus the weight of the platform which is 60 lbs. Therefore, the roof weight capacity of your vehicle's roof will need to be rated for you (180 lbs) plus the weight of the platform (60 lbs) for a total of 240 lbs. I looked in the owner's manual for your LX 470 and there was not a roof weight...

  • Will the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack Work With a Rooftop Tent
  • The Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack part # MPG217 has a 165 lb weight capacity. In regards to rooftop tent carrier compatibility, you'll need to refer to the rooftop tent manufacturer. Take the Yakima SkyRise HD Tent for Roof Rack Crossbars part # Y07436 for example. It has a 400 lb weight capacity but it only requires that the roof rack be rated for 165 lbs as it uses the integrated ladder for additional support.

  • Bike Rack for a 2003 Lexus LX470
  • Unfortunately, this reducer sleeve is designed for large 2-1/2 inch x 2-1/2 inch receiver hitches normally found on super-duty pickup trucks. If you already have a hitch on your LX470, it is most likely a standard 2 inch x 2 inch receiver. All of the trailer hitch receivers we offer for your 2003 Lexus LX470 are 2 inch Class III receivers. This means that any 2 inch hitch mounted bike rack should work with your hitch.

  • Which Roof Top Cargo Basket Will Fit a 1998 Lexus LX470 and Allow for Easy Installation or Removal
  • The Thule M.O.A.B. roof basket # TH690 would work well for your 1998 Lexus LX470 SUV, as long as you have roof rack bars that run side to side, and they are not wider than 4 inches. The M.O.A.B. cargo carrier features a very simple installation. To attach the basket to your roof rack, you would use the four two-piece mounting brackets. The brackets sandwich your roof bars, and are held together by two bolts with wing knobs, so they are easy to put on and take off. I have included...
