Expert Answers about Lexus RX 330


  • 7-Way and Brake Controller Recommendation for 2004 Lexus RX 330
  • You will need to start with a 4-way (if you do not have one). For that you would want the # 118478. From there you would need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install the brake controller. For that you will want the Brake Controller Install Kit and 7-Way Adapter part # ETBC7. I attached installation instructions and an install video for this product as well. For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. This is our best selling brake...

  • Recommended Trunk Mount Bike Rack for 2007 Lexus RX 330
  • I'd be happy to! Without a doubt, the easiest to use trunk mounted bike rack we carry is the Thule OutWay, part # TH45JV. The rack is incredibly simple to install and remove, using 2 rubber coated steel cables that adjust with the twist of a dial. Typically, hatch mounted bike racks use 6 straps and buckles that need to be constantly adjusted. The attaching cables of the OutWay are lockable, and the rack includes an integrated cable lock to help deter theft. To see the rack in action,...

  • Trailer Hitch, Towing Accessory and Transmission Cooler Recommendations for 2004 Lexus RX330
  • For a hitch, I'd recommend the Curt Class III trailer hitch, part # 13530. This hitch is compatible with AWD RX330 models, except for models with the air suspension. To complete your towing system, you'll also need a few other items: Trailer wiring harness, part # 118478 Ball mount/trailer ball kit, part # 989900 My research indicates that the RX330 has a maximum 3500lb towing capacity, so the trailer and its cargo aren't pushing the capacity. If you'll be towing a weight like this frequently...

  • Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2004 Lexus R330
  • I have a perfect solution for you. The Hollywood Racks Over-The-Top Bike rack part # HRF2 is specifically designed to work on vehicles that have a spoiler. I checked and this rack is confirmed to fit your 2004 Lexus RX330 as well. Check out the review video I attached. If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Swagman Easy-Out Women's and Alternative Frame Bike Adapter # 64005 to provide a horizontal...

  • Tow Mirror Recommendation for 2005 Lexus RX330
  • For a 2005 Lexus RX330, you'd need to use a Universal Towing Mirror like the K-Source # KS3891. The mirror features ratcheting rubberized straps for a tight, secure fit with little to no vibration, which is why this particular mirror is so highly rated by our customers. None of our towing mirror manufacturers offer a custom towing mirror for a Lexus RX330.

  • Tire Chain Recommendations for 2005 Lexus RX 330 P235/55R18
  • The best tire chain option for your 2005 Lexus RX330 that has P235/55R18 tires is the Konig Easy Fit Chains part # TH04115245 which install in a matter of seconds, will last a long time, and provide great traction. If you are looking for a set you'll use regularly and want something easy and great performing this is the set to use. If you were looking for something a little more budget orientated the Titan chains # TC1555 would be the way to go. These are still on the easier side of install,...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch and Cargo Large Cargo Carrier for a 2005 Lexus RX 330
  • In order to use a cargo carrier on a 2005 Lexus RX 330 you'd need to start with a trailer hitch, the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e98857 is what I recommend. In comparison to the other options, this one has a matte finish which better blends in with the vehicle. The 60x19 Curt Cargo Carrier part # C18100 would then work well for this setup. The inside dimensions are 60-3/16" long x 19-3/8" wide x 2-15/16" tall so that is what you'd need to use to determine fit of your storage...

  • Availability of 5,200 lb Trailer Axle with 74 inches Between Spring Seats
  • To pick out replacement axles you need a few pieces of info. You need the capacity like you mentioned, you need the hub face to hub face dimension and you need the spring seat to spring seat dimension as well. With that info you can determine what you'd need. For example, if the 74 inch dimension you listed was from the spring seat to seat dimension and you needed 89 inches from hub face to hub face you'd want the # 8327820-EB which comes with hub/drums and brake assemblies.

  • Finding Circuit to Run Red Wire of Brake Controller to for 2004 Lexus RX330
  • You've done the hard part which is finding the wires on the brake pedal switch so now all you have to do is use a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 to test them all till you find one that has voltage only when the brakes are applied. That will be what you run the red wire of the Tow Pro Elite part # RED44FR to and you'd be set.

  • Light Kit Recommendation for Curt Hitch Mounted Cargo Carriers
  • If you really wanted to install a light at the back of either the Curt Cargo Carrier # C18151 or # C18152 I am sure there would be a way for you to accomplish this. We don't sell a kit specifically designed for these carriers, but you could probably make a LED Light Kit # 98174LED work on either carrier with the brackets # BK70BB.

  • Trunk Mount Bike Rack, Trailer Hitch, and Hitch Bike Rack for a 2004 Lexus RX 330
  • Only certain 2-bike trunk mount bike racks can be used on a 2004 Lexus RX 330 because it cannot safely handle the weight of 3 bikes. I have included a link to the trunk mount bike racks we list as a fit for your RX 330. The Passage 3, # TH911XT cannot be used but the Passage 2, # TH910XT, can. If you have to carry 3 bikes then I recommend a trailer hitch and hitch mount bike rack. The most popular hitch option is # 13530. This hitch has a 2 inch receiver so there are many bike rack options...

  • Hitch Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for an EZ-Sport Recumbent Bike
  • To carry your Easy Sport Recumbent using the hitch on your 2005 Lexus RX330, I would recommend the Swagman XC Extended Bike Rack # S64650-EXT. This rack is an extended version designed to accommodate Recumbent bike. The Swagman # S64650-EXT will accommodate bikes with a wheel base of up to 66 inches and my research shows that the EZ-Sport recumbent bike has a wheel base of 62 inches. The weight capacity of this rack is 80 lbs. To determine if your bike will fit the rack, you will need...

  • Availability of Hitch for 2005 Lexus RX330 That Will Be Hidden At the Rear of the Vehicle
  • I will have two trailer hitches that fit your 2005 Lexus RX330. The Curt Class III 2-Inch Hitch, part # 13530 and the Draw-Tite Class III 2-Inch Hitch, part # 75153. Both of the hitches are a Class III 2-inch receiver size and will have a maximum towing weight capacity of 3,500 lbs. The towing capacity of the Curt hitch increases to 4,000 lbs when used with weight distribution. The installation and where the hitch will be located on the vehicle is the same on all three of the hitches....

  • Where Does Blue Wire of 7-Way Run to Power Trailer Brakes
  • If you are looking for a way to power the trailer brakes you would not run the blue wire of the 7-way to the positive post of your battery. Instead you would run that wire up to the blue wire of a brake controller like the part # 90885 that you referenced. I attached a diagram that shows how a brake controller wires to a 7-way. For wire to power the controller and wire up the output circuit we have the part # 10-1-1 which is 10 gauge wire sold by the foot.

  • Tire Chain Recommendation for a 2004 RX 330 AWD and a 2012 Acura TL SH-AWD
  • Lexus 235/55/18 Acura 245/40/19 Snow tire chains are designed to give you additional traction in heavy snow and ice conditions, even vehicles that have AWD and 4WD. If you plan on taking a trip to an area with heavy snow or ice, it would be a good idea to bring a set of tire chains along for emergency situations. Using tire chains is not necessarily required, but they will help in hazardous conditions and there are even some areas that require the use of snow chains during certain times...

  • 2005 Lexus RX 330 Trailer Hitch Recommendation
  • All three of the hitches recommended for your 2005 Lexus RX330, the Curt Hitch part # 13530 and the Draw Tite Hitch part # 75153 will not interfere with the spare tire of your vehicle. It will install and remove on your vehicle just like normal. If you plan on doing some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball,...

  • Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2004 Lexus RX 330 and 2007 Toyota Prius
  • If you want to lessen the chance of a bike rack deforming either vehicle, might I suggest a different rack. The OutWay Platform rack, # TH65JV, weighs in at about 28 pounds. Adding a couple of average weight bikes at 30 pounds each would mean there is over 88 pounds on the trunk and this can lead to deformation of the vehicle. I would go with the much lighter but equally as functional OutWay, # TH45JV. At about 13 pounds, this rack is much less likely to deform the trunk. This rack fits...

  • What is the Correct Trailer Wiring Harness for a 2006 Lexus RX 330
  • The 2006 Lexus RX 330 actually requires a completely different type of wiring harness. You will need to use a T-one connector harness, # 118478. I have included links to the installation instructions and a link to a video showing a typical installation for you. The easiest way that requires the least amount of work to determine how any vehicle is equipped is to call a Lexus dealer and have them run the VIN for the vehicle.

  • Can Hitch from 2007 Lexus RX 350 Also Fit 2004 RS 330
  • The etrailer hitch part # e98857 fits a 2004 Lexus RX 330 as well as a 2007 Lexus RX 350. You might check to make sure the 2004 model is a 330. If so, your hitch would transfer.

  • Hidden Hitch Recommendation for a 2004 Lexus RX330
  • All of the hitches available for your 2004 Lexus RX 330 will have the same basic appearance. The only one that is slightly different would be the Curt Hitch # 13530. This hitch has the safety chain loops below the hitch opening whereas the Draw-Tite # 75153 hitch has the safety chain loops above the hitch opening which I think makes them a little less visible. Check out the installation video and installation instructions I attached also. To complete your towing setup you may also be...
