  • Is 2003 Lexus GX470 Pre-Wired for Trailer Connector
  • Given the connectors shown in the photo, although your 2003 Lexus GX470 wasn't equipped with the factory 7-way trailer connector, it looks like it's pre-wired for one.

If you do not have enough clearance to use a wrench, you can use drop or two of super glue on the square part of the carriage bolt. Then hold the...

  • The Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger # 331-BCDC1225D does require running a heavy gauge wire that will directly connect to the alternator or battery on your tow vehicle. Unfortunately in this case your 7 pin connector will not provide enough power to properly power the BCDC charger and keep your batteries fully charged. With that said, this charger can easily be mounted on your trailer and will provide a great source of charging for your off-road trailer since it doesn't just provide...
