Expert Answers about Lexus GX 460


  • Cargo Box Compatibility With A Prinsu Roof Rack On A 2017 Lexus GX 460
  • Seems like you're needing something that is a bit skinnier on your roof since you have other attachments on your roof already. That being said this Thule Pulse Alpine Box # TH613 is only 25-1/2" wide x 88-1/2" long x 12-1/2" tall. Most cargo boxes including this one need crossbars that are no larger than # 3-5/16" wide x 1-1/2" tall so make sure your Prinsu Rack Crossbars are at least that size or smaller. Since you have so many crossbars, make sure there is at least 23-5/8" of crossbar...

  • Rhino Rack Roof Rack Pioneer Platform 60x49 For A 2016 Lexus GX 460
  • If you have flush side rails on your 2016 Lexus GX 460 all you need to get a Rhino Rack Platform rack on your roof is this kit # RR77AB. It comes with everything you need to get it onto your roof. Basically all there is is the platform rack and once you get that installed all you need to do is take the feet that come with the kit and connect it to the platform and then they will clamp around the flush side rails on your Lexus. If you do have a naked roof, the only roof rack option you...

  • Will the Tekonsha ZCI 119250KIT Fit a 2017 Lexus GX 460
  • As your 2017 Lexus GX 460 has a more complicated computer system, the Tekonsha ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness # 119250KIT will be the only wiring harness available. The # 119250KIT also has a loop on the 4 Flat plug that is designed to keep it attached to the safety chain loops on the hitch.

  • 2016 Lexus GX 460 Flush Mounted Rails Fit Kit
  • For your 2016 Lexus GX 460, you will need the Landing Pad 30 for Yakima SkyLine And Control Towers - Qty 6, part # Y25ZR, and not a RidgeClip. This kit works for Yakima HD Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 55" Long - Qty 2 part # Y01156. You will also need the HD Bar SL Adapter for Yakima BaseLine, SkyLine, TimberLine, and RidgeLine Towers - Qty 4, part # Y03541. The last thing you will need is the Yakima RidgeLine Towers For Yakima Crossbars part # Y00145. This rack will have a weight limit...

  • How to Reduce Wind Noise With Inno Aero Crossbars That Are 48 & 51 Inches Long
  • While there is a solution for you to reduce the wind noise, in regards to aero bars generating less wind noise, the amount honestly depends on which crossbars. Some crossbars are manufactured with added strips on the top channels that disrupt the wind (and therefore whistling) more than others, and the Inno aero bars like your # INXB123-130 don't have that. So the best option to help reduce that amount of wind noise is with a fairing, and for your 48" and 51" long crossbars, the best...

  • Can I Use WeatherTech Side Window Air Deflectors With Windows Up
  • Yes, the WeatherTech Side Window Air Deflectors with Dark Tinting part # WT80543 for 2010 - 2019 Lexus GX 460 can be used to reduce wind noise when the windows are up. Their aerodynamic design deflects wind away from the windows once installed into the window channel. They also will not damage the window channel when the windows are up because they are made from a thin acrylic material that allows for the window to go all the way up.

  • Will Curt Cargo Carrier Work on 2019 Lexus GX 460
  • Yes, you can absolutely use the Curt Cargo Carrier # C18151 with your 2019 Lexus GX 460 so long as it has a 2 inch trailer hitch, the Curt Trailer Hitch # C13043 or Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 75685, both of which fit your '19 GX 460. The only thing you will need is Pin and Clip # PC3 or Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # e98880 to secure the cargo carrier to your hitch. If you need to keep your cargo nice and dry while you are transporting it on the carrier I strongly recommend the Curt Cargo...

  • What is the Correct Trailer Wiring Kit for a 2015 Lexus GX 460?
  • The correct wiring kit for your 2015 Lexus GX 460 is the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness, # 119250KIT. This particular harness minimizes problems you may have during installation because it uses sensors which clamp onto the wires of your tail light harness so you can avoid splicing or cutting the wires. I have added a link to a video install of this harness for you to take a look at, as well as a help article on wiring which you may find useful.

  • Will Older 897XT Thule Hullavator Install on Yakima JetStream Crossbars
  • Yes, the older Thule Hullavator (897XT) will fit Yakima JetStream bars. You'll use the T-Slot mounting hardware that would have come with the older model carrier and then you need to make sure you can move the carrier out far enough that there is 4" of clearance between the arms and your vehicle when the Hullavator is in the "load" position per the instructions. If you don't have that mounting hardware anymore then you need the 4 of each of the following parts: Socket Head Cap Screw -...

  • Recommended Roof Rack For Hauling Paddleboards On 2014 Lexus GX 460
  • I have a solution for you, but the Rhino-Rack Roof Rack Heavy-Duty Crossbars - Black - 65" # Y01-140B-NT is specifically for Thule or Yakima roof tracks and it will not fit your factory roof tracks. Since your 2014 Lexus GX 460 has the factory flush rails running front to back you can install the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars 49" Qty 3 # RRVA126B-3. You will also need Legs # RRRCH6 and Fit Kit # RRRCP23-BK. As you can see in the attached video, this roof rack will be able to clear...

  • Inno or Yakima Roof Rack For 2019 Lexus GX 460 w/ Flush Rails For Thule Motion XT XL Cargo Carrier
  • Definitely go with the Inno roof rack for your 2019 Lexus GX 460, for a couple reasons. First is the install - the Yakima roof rack requires you to completely remove your factory rails to mount the rack's feet, while the Inno does not. Instead, it mounts right to the rails on your Lexus. The second reason is value; for a rooftop cargo box you'll be getting the same performance out of the Inno as the Yakima, but the Inno has a better price point. So for the Inno rack that its your Lexus,...

  • Installation Method for Inno Square Bar Roof Rack on 2016 Lexus GX 460
  • If the flush roof side rails on your 2016 Lexus GX 460 do not have a fixed-point mounting system, but rather have tracks like those shown in the linked photo, then the rack crossbars' position will be adjustable. If you see one specific mounting point in the rails then this means the car is intended for a fixed-point rack installation. This Inno rack, composed of parts # INB127, # INTR and # INTR134, works for both roof configurations.

  • SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs for a 2022 Lexus GX460
  • The SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs - Rear Axle item # SS78DR is going to be a far better choice for your 2022 Lexus GX 460. These are custom fit to your Lexus and are guaranteed to fit. You referenced the Air Lift 1000 Air Helper Springs for Coil Springs item # AL60732 these are a universal fit but aren't guaranteed to fit inside your Lexus's rear coil springs. The Sumo springs have a progressive load control that causes the springs to compress according to the weight of your trailer.

  • Can the Yakima Highroller Roof Rack Be Installed on a Hitch
  • Not to a trailer hitch, but you can attach the Yakima HighRoller Roof Bike Rack to a Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer like part # Y08106. A hitch mounted bike rack might be your best option though. For that I would recommend the Thule Camber 2 Bike Rack # TH9058. Check out the review video I attached. If you plan on carrying any women's 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...

  • Can Lexus GX 460 Use Weight Distribution Hitch With Boat Trailer & How to Choose Correct System
  • I took a look at the owner's manual for your 2019 Lexus GX 460 and you can use a weight distribution hitch; it even mentions that towing 5,000 lbs or more requires one, and towing 2,000 lbs or more requires sway control. In order to choose the right weight distribution hitch you will first need to know your loaded tongue weight. The ideal system would be one in which your loaded tongue weight falls somewhere in the middle of the weight distribution system's tongue weight capacity. For...

  • Recommended Ball Mount for a 2013 Lexus GX460
  • I have a solution for you but the B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount item # BWTS10033B won't work with the hitch on your 2013 GX 460. It has 3" of drop and requires 11" of clearance from the lowest portion of the ball mount. I'm not sure which hitch your Lexus has but we had one in the shop and installed the item # 75685 and the bottom end of the receiver measured 16" above the ground. Since your horse trailer's hitch height is 15", I recommend the Curt Towing Starter Kit for 2" Hitches item...

  • Most Hidden Trailer Hitch for 2016 Lexus GX 460
  • The trailer hitch that will be the least visible on your 2016 Lexus GX 460 is the Curt Class III Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13043. The end of the receiver on this hitch does not extend as far from the rear mounting holes as the receiver on the Draw-Tite # 75685. Since none of these trailer hitches feature a crossbar, the only part of the hitch that may be visible is the receiver tube. I went out to our warehouse to measure how far the ends of the receivers are from the mounting holes....

  • Towing Mirrors For A 2020 Lexus GX470
  • I have an alternative for you, however, the K-Source Snap & Zap Custom Towing Mirrors - Snap On # KS81300 will unfortunately not fit your 2020 Lexus GX470. The CIPA Universal Fit Towing Mirrors # 40375-2 are a universal fit and will fit your 2020 Lexus GX470. These mirrors are a strap on style and will attach to your factory mirrors, extending your line of sight by 5".
