Expert Answers about Lexus LX 570


  • Recommended Cargo Basket to Fit Next To 36 Cargo Box on 60 Long Crossbars
  • I may have a solution for you, but the clamps on the Yakima OffGrid # Y07138-08 are roughly 8" from the sides. Additionally because this box is 40" wide and you're adding a 36" cargo box next to it, you would need at least 78" of bar space to ensure that both items are fully supported by the crossbars on your 2013 Lexus LX570. You don't want part of the basket hanging over unsupported as it's going to create an unstable situation on your roof. Instead, I recommend using the Yakima SkinnyWarrior...

  • Recommended Wiring Harness for 2011 Lexus LX570
  • We have exactly what you're looking for. For a 4 way trailer connector you can use the Curt # C55245 or if you need both a 4 way and 7 way, you can use the Hopkins Plug-In Simple Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package - 7-Way and 4-Flat Connectors # HM11143910. Both of these harnesses will plug into the vehicle's existing towing package harness and provide you with the plugs you need to power your trailer's lights. If you'll be towing a trailer with brakes when using the 7 way...

  • Will the Prodigy RF Brake Controller Fit a 2011 Lexus LX 570
  • Yes, you can use the Prodigy RF brake controller # TK94FR on your 2011 Lexus LX 570. The Prodigy RF only needs a functioning 7-Way trailer connector (specifically the 12 volt circuit and brake signal circuits) to work with a vehicle. It looks like your vehicle comes with a factory 7-Way connector so you will be good to go! Should you ever need to replace the 7-Way I recommend # HM11143910 because it will just plug right into the vehicle wiring where the original 7-Way plugged in.

  • Brake Controller Port For Tekonsha Wiring Adapter 3040-P on 2009 Lexus LX 570
  • Based on what I found online, you are correct the brake controller port is not to the left of the steering column on your 2009 Lexus LX 570. We haven't done any installs with this vehicle, but I did some digging and what I found was that to access the port you will need to remove the lower dash panel, and the connector should be just up and to the right, taped to other wiring so it may be a chore to find, but once you do this will allow you to use the wiring adapter: - Tekonsha Plug-In...

  • Replacement For Platform For Curt Ball Mount C45901
  • By shank with the 1" diameter hole I believe you are referring to the ball mount platform of the Curt Channel Style Adjustable Ball Mount # C45901. And while Curt does not offer this separately, we do have an option for you that will work, which is a dual-sided hitch ball that fits the platform; you will also need the pins to mount it: - Replacement 2" and 2-5/16" Dual-Sided Hitch Ball for Curt 2" Adjustable Ball Mount # C45912 - Replacement Pins and Clips # C45925

  • 2013 Lexus LX 570 Surco Safari Rack 5.0 Rooftop Cargo Basket Installation
  • Your Surco Safari Rack 5.0 Rooftop Cargo Basket - 60" Long x 50" Wide # SPS5060 can be mounted on top of Thule square bars with the Mounting Adapters # SPT400, but there isn't a way to mount it directly to your Evo Raised Rail Feet # TH710401. If your Surco Safari came with the universal mounting hardware then you should be able to mount it to your 53" WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711420, but if you use the Clamp-On Adapters # SP1101 you can mount the cargo basket directly to the raised side...

  • Swinging Bike Rack to Carry Triathlon Bike
  • The only potential workaround to carry your triathlon bike with the SportRack Ridge Swing 4 Bike Rack # SR2415 would be to use a bike frame adapter bar such as # SR0500 which may work with the aero shaped seat post on your Tri bike as its hook opening is 3-1/2" long x 2-1/8" wide so you would need to ensure your seat post is smaller than those dimensions. The adapter bar telescopes from 15-1/4" to 22-5/8" so you would also need to measure to ensure the distance from your seat post to handlebar...

  • Recommended Snow Chain for 2020 Lexus LX570 with 285/45-22 Tires
  • I've found some unclear information regarding the use of snow chains on your Lexus LX570, so I would recommend checking your owner's manual for confirmation as to whether or not snow chains can be used with the 22" wheels on your vehicle. At very best you'll be able to use a Class S compatible snow chain, but your vehicle may not be able to accept snow chains because of lack of wheel well clearance. If it turns out that you can use chains on your vehicle, the Titan Chain Alloy Snow Tire...

  • How Can I Use 70 Crossbars on My 2017 Lexus LX 570
  • I may have a solution for you, but Rhino Rack Crossbars like the # RRVA180B will only fit on Rhino Rack towers/footpacks and the same goes for Thule bars and towers/footpacks. However, The Thule ProBar Evo Crossbars - Aluminum - 69" Long - Qty 2 # TH713600 might be an option, but you'd need new towers since these bars are not compatible with the Rapid Podium feet. The ProBar Evos are also available in 79" long bars with the Thule ProBar Evo Crossbars - Aluminum - 79" Long - Qty 2 # TH713700. To...

  • Replacement Axle Solution for 3,500 lb Torsion Axle
  • While we don't have the exact axle you are looking for we do have the Timbren Axle Less kit part # TASR35HDS06 which is an axle-less design that basically attaches directly to the trailer frame. This has a 2 inch lift built into it as well to help with ground clearance.

  • Newly Installed Trailer Connector Not Working on a 2013 Lexus LX 570
  • Hopkins trailer connector # HM11143910 is designed as a replacement for 2013 Lexus LX 570 models that came with a factory tow package and 7-Way connector. It sounds like yours did not come with the factory tow package or it is not connected in the right place and that would be why it isn't working. If you have it plugged into the connectors on the passenger's side of the vehicle then try plugging the harness into the same connectors on the driver's side. Or it could be that the dealer has...

  • Recommended Weight Distribution System for 700-800 lb Trailer Tongue Weight
  • Your 2014 Lexus LX570 is rated for 7,000 lbs towing capacity based on my research. If your tongue weight is 700-800 lbs, then the 1000 lbs system is a great option. With whatever system you choose, the total tongue weight is the biggest factor in getting the correct system. The total tongue weight is the loaded trailer tongue weight along with any cargo behind the rear axle of your Lexus. Either the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control # EQ37100ET or the...

  • Recommended Weight Distribution Hitch For A Lamar 10' Dump Trailer Towed With A 2013 Lexus LX 570
  • Since the max trailer weight is 7,000lbs you'll want to base your tongue weight off of that instead of the unloaded weight. So your tongue weight is going to be 10-15% of 7,000. For this I recommend the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control - Trunnion - 8,000lbs GTW, 800lbs TW # FA92-00-0800. This affordable weight distribution hitch is great if you have a trailer with 400lbs - 800lbs of tongue weight that experiences sway from time to time. The integrated 2-Point Sway...

  • Can You Switch Between 10K and 12K Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Systems
  • The 10K and 12K Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Systems like part # EQ37100ET and part # EQ37120ET use different heads and spring bars so if you wish to switch back between the two capacities you will need both of these items which I have listed for you below. Equal-i-zer 10K Head part # EQ90-02-1000 Equal-i-zer 10K Spring Bars part # EQ90-01-1099 Equal-i-zer 12K Head part # EQ90-02-1200 Equal-i-zer 12K Spring Bars part # EQ90-01-1299

  • Where Is the Brake Controller Plug Located on a 2008 Lexus LX570?
  • For your 2008 Lexus LX570 the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for Electric Brake Controllers - Toyota and Lexus # 3040-P will plug into the factory harness located underneath the dash, to the left of the steering column, taped to another harness near the emergency brake pedal. This is only if you have the factory 7-way. I've attached a video of this installation (one of a Curt connector) on a couple of Toyota's which have the same connection location. If you don't already have the factory...

  • Recommended Rhino Rack Pioneer Platform for my 2011 Lexus LX570
  • The Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform Rack part # JA9738 is a confirmed fit for your 2011 Lexus LX570 if it has a naked or bare roof. It connects directly to attachment points on your Lexus provided by the factory. If this is too large or you have factory rails that run down the side of the roof then we have to go another route. This is using a standard crossbar system like the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars Roof Rack System part # RRVA126B-2 and part # RRSX100. This will give you the base...

  • Recommendation to make Trailer 7-Way Longer
  • The closest adapter we have to what you need is the Torklift part # TLW6021. This is a 7-way adapter that has a male end on one side and a female on the other. It measures a little longer than you requested at 24 inches though. Your ideal solution would be to remove your current 7-way and install a longer one on your trailer like with the part # H20042 that is a 3 foot long 7-way plug and lead. You could trim this down to match your trailer length needs as well.
