Expert Answers about Lexus GX 470


  • Recommended Trailer Hitch and Related Items for 2006 Lexus GX 470
  • Your 2006 Lexus GX 470 is part of this vehicle's first generation, which ran through 2009. Model years 2010 and later are the second generation and differences in the frame structure are what require different hitch fits. Curt hitch # C13043 that you referenced only fits the second generation model years starting with 2010. For your 2006 GX 470 you can use any of the 2-inch Class III hitches shown on the linked page. All of these frame-mount hitches install without drilling, include the...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch For A 2009 Lexus GX 470
  • There are currently two hitches available for your 2009 Lexus GX 470, the Curt # 13445 and the Draw-Tite Max-Frame # 75155. Both of these will use the cross bar that goes across the frame though, as there is not an area to mount something like the # 75685 on your frame, unfortunately. With that said, the Draw-Tite Max-Frame # 75155 will meet the towing capacity of your GX 470 better and will be my suggestion to you. This hitch is rated to 6,000 pounds towing and 600 pounds of tongue weight...

  • Is Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform RR69QX The Same as JC-00696
  • I checked with Rhino-Rack for you, and can confirm that their part JC-00696 is the same as our kit for the Pioneer Platform: - Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform Rack # RR69QX This kit does include the 76" long x 49" wide Pioneer Platform, as well as the legs and fit kit in order to mount it to your roof. In regards to the item, we are actually an online-only store and don't have any physical store locations, so it would need to be shipped to your address.

  • Which Legs Come with Rhino Rack Pioneer Platform for 2009 Lexus GX 470
  • The legs that come with the Rhino Rack Pioneer Platform part # RR77AB that you referenced are the RCH style which are slightly higher than the RCL. Since this is a fit designed for your 2009 Lexus GX 470 the option to pick tall or short isn't available as the taller legs are the correct fit.

  • Best Hitch Option to Carry a Bike Rack and Cargo Carrier for a 2007 Lexus GX 470
  • We do have a trailer hitch for your vehicle, however, the Draw-Tite Hitch Reciever, part # 75685 is not a confirmed fit for the 2007 Lexus GX470. It is designed to fit the GX460 from 2010 to 2017. Hitch receivers are designed for specific vehicles and shouldn't be used on vehicles they aren't intended for. Instead, I recommend the Curt Class III Round Tube Receiver, part # 13445. This will provide your vehicle with a strong mounting point for whatever you'd like to carry. For a bike...

  • How To Find Correct Replacement Hub for Trailer with 8 on 6-1/2" Bolt Pattern
  • I have a few options for you to help with identifying the correct replacement hubs on your trailer. The first and easiest method would be to crawl under the trailer and look for the axle tag on the beam. This should give an axle capacity which we can then use to find the bearings based off industry standards. For example, a 7,000 lb axle uses 25580 and 14125A bearings like what comes with the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly part # AKHD-865-7-2-K. The other option would be to take the hubs...

  • Is There a Correct Breakaway Cable for Surge Brakes on 2002 Sea Ray Boat Trailer
  • In order to tell you the correct breakaway cables for the surge brakes on your 2002 Sea Ray single axle trailer I'd first need to know what actuator is installed on your trailer. You might be able to use the Replacement Safety Cable for Demco Hydraulic Brake Actuators # DM12200 but you'd need to ensure that the 28" length is correct for you and that the 1/4" screw and 1-1/2" length is enough for your actuator. If this option doesn't work, let me know what surge brake actuator you have...

  • Parts Needed to Tow a Trailer with a 2005 Lexus GX 470
  • The trailer hitch receiver I suggest is the Draw-Tite Max-Frame # 75155. This is a 2 inch, Class III hitch receiver confirmed to fit your 2005 Lexus GX 470. I've linked an install video on a 2004 which will be the same. You'll need a wiring harness on the Lexus to power the trailer's lights. Use # C59236. It's circuit protect so you won't have to worry about the wiring of your Lexus being damaged from shorts. For a pin and clip to fit you can use # PC3 or if you'd like to have a locking...

  • Why Aren't The Torque Specs For The BX2908 Listed In The Installation Manual
  • I spoke with Blue Ox about the lack of instructions with the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX2908 and was told that it's one of their older baseplates and that the chart for those no longer exists but that the # BX1139 has the same torque specifications and lists them up at the top of the installation instructions. I've attached those instructions below so that you can complete the baseplate installation on your 2004 Lexus GX 470.

  • Will the Curt Trailer Hitch Mount Folding Cargo Carrier Clear the Bumper on a 2006 Lexus GX 470
  • On trailer hitches that we have installed on the same generation Lexus GX470 as yours, there would be clearance to fold up the Curt cargo carrier, # C18100. How you will be able to tell is to measure from the center of the hitch pin hole on your hitch straight back to the distance required to clear the rear bumper on the vehicle. If that measurement is less than 5 inches then it can be folded without touching the vehicle. I have included a link to a video review of this carrier for you.

  • Will the Tow Ready Multi-Plug # 20137 Replace a Powered Converter on 2003 Lexus GX470
  • Tow Ready tells me that most likely the 20137 will work on your Lexus GX470. You can confirm this before purchasing by having a helper activate the various lighting functions while you test the connectors under the vehicle with a circuit tester like part # PTW2993. Activate the left turn signal and test the various pins on the connector. You should locate one pin that will make the tester light up. Do the same with the right turn and the running lights. If this checks out, the 20137 will...

  • Difference Between Air Deflectors That Fit Lexus
  • The difference between the two WeatherTech air deflectors you asked about are the year and model of Lexus they fit. The WeatherTech Side Window Air Deflectors with Dark Tinting - Front and Rear # WT82329 fit your 2005 Lexus GX 470. The WeatherTech Side Window Air Deflectors with Dark Tinting - Front and Rear # WT82797 fit model years 2016 - 2020 Lexus RX 350 and RX 450h. The different contours of the vehicles and model years require different fits, which is why the ones that fit your...

  • Will Hopkins Harness HM43374 Fit 2003 Lexus GX 470 With 2 Female Plugs
  • Thank you for the photo, and if you have two female connectors on your 2003 Lexus GX 470 (I can't quite tell from the photo) then you are correct that you will not be able to use the Hopkins Plug-In Simple Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package - 7-Way and 4-Flat Connectors # HM43374. This has one male and one female connector, so it wouldn't line up, though I do know we have had customers use this on their '03 GX 470, but it's certainly possible your connectors are different for...

  • Towing Mirrors for 2005 Lexus GX 470
  • While there are no custom towing mirrors for a 2005 Lexus GX 470 there is one potential solution with the K-Source Universal Towing Mirrors # KS3891-2. These are a universal fit that will work on mirrors that are between 4-1/2" and 11-1/2" tall; while they have not been test fit on an '05 Lexus GX 470 the way they install with clips on the arms and a ratcheting strap tightening system it is likely they will work for your car. I have added a link to a video review for you to check out.
