Excellent Service Again from eTrailer.com Order was placed at 12:30 on Wednesday, and I received the order the next day at 3:00 pm. I installed it in less than 10 min. Ready to roll before 3:30

@Christopher When it comes to a trailer hitch, no news is good news! We're glad to hear that your Curt # C13043 receiver hitch is working well for you!


by:
2023 Lexus GX 460

Beautifully manufactured piece of equipment...made in the the USA. Instructions were very clear - for an easy 4 bolt install in about 20 minutes. As covered in the instructions, the spare tire had to be lowered a bit to fit it in. I needed to use the included spacer to avoid having the receiver touch the rear fender. I used masking tape to temporarily attach the spacer to the receiver, for ease of lining up the holes. As always, the assistance during the ordering process from etrailer was exceptional. They are the best and most consumer-supportive company I have dealt with. By the way, Lexus wanted $1,200 to install this receiver, and I am certain they would have used the same part which I bought from e-trailer for $XXX!

Excellent. No issues. High quality which fits unobtrusively on the Lexus GX460.



by:

This thing fit like a glove after I moved the spare tire to the proper position. I purchased a torque wrench and made sure to torque the bolts properly. It would be nice to have a helper hold this up while you put the bolts in. I used a screw jack and a drift pin to line it up since my wife(helper) did not want to get on the ground!

Installed on my Lexus 2017 GX 460. Hitch arrived quickly and installation was straight forward and only took fifteen minutes with one exception. The hitch did not fit to clear the bottom of plastic bumper without adding 3 spacer washers to each of the 4 bolt locations. Spacer washers (Which I purchased from local hardware store ) were placed between the Curt Hitch plate and the mount location on Lexus Frame dropping the hitch about 1/4 inch to clear the bottom of plastic bumper. The washers do not affect the hitch performance or safety in any way in my option and make a much better fit without having to cut or alter the bumper in any way. Great hitch for a much lower price than ordering from Lexus dealership! Hitch is hidden well and looks great! Going to put it to the test with a 9 hour pull south to Florida for the Holidays

The hitch has worked perfectly, looks good and does not stick out to far from bumper so no hitting your your leg when unloading items out of back of your SUV!



by:

We are happy customers! Received the Curt Trailer hitch receiver today. It took about 10 minutes to install the product. (And 20 minutes to figure out how to slightly lower the spare tire-this GX-460 is new to me). Lowering the spare tire about 1-2 inches provided the flexibility to easily bolt up the hitch receiver. All together very quick and easy! We saved $800 by purchasing your product and installing it ourselves. Two dealer quotes each wanted over $900 to provide a hitch receiver and labor. Thank you for making this easy for us.

I put this on a 2014 Lexus GX and I was able to do it myself. Good instructions, very straight forward installation, you don't need to raise anything, perhaps watch couple of videos online to get comfortable. Please make sure that you have the right socket wrench. I did not have one so had to borrow one from a friend.

Fit my 23 Lexus GX460 perfectly. Works Great! Looks Great! This hitch has a quality fit and finish. Saved a lot vs having my Lexus dealership instal. I installed myself easily and it didn’t take much time to do.

Went on without any problems, flows nicely with the bumper. Looks better to me than dealer installed hitch I've seen on other GX 460s.

Fit well on ‘23 GX460. Super easy and quick install. Recommend getting a rubber cover to protect your shins/knees.

Adam was Great to work with. I ordered a different brand which was out of stock! Adam got me a better made in USA hitch in 2 days. He also saved me money on shipping! Will definitely recommend this Company! The Curt hitch fit perfect! Had to drop the spare tire and take off the bottom trim panel. Took 10 minutes to install.

I purchased this class III hitch for my 2022 Lexus GX460 because the class IV OEM hitch was on back order from Lexus. This hitch came with all necessary bolts and washers for proper spacing between the spare tire and the bumper. 15 minute install max. Would recommend.

Very high quality welds and powder coat. Looks like it is built to last. Looks great on my GX. Only took 15 minutes to install. Glad I upgraded to one of these.



by:
2019 Lexus GX 460

Very pleased with this Hitch for my GX460. Definitely need the 1/4" spacer supplied with hitch. It helps clear the plastic bumper fascia and one of the bolt holes on the GX has an obstruction behind it so without the spacer the bolt would have hit this reaching full torque. On the 2019 GX460, you also have to crank the spare tire down about an inch with the hand crank supplied in the GX tail gate tool box to get the hitch holes centered.



by:

Hitch was damaged when arrived, no hardware was included. I sent etrailer an email describing the situation and Madeline O. suggested that I looks closer inside of the damaged box. I recommend you don’t treat your customers like idiots.

I will have our customer service team reach out to you. Often the hitch hardware is stored inside the receiver opening or taped to the hitch.

arrived in a timely manner. installed per directions that was included in the original packaging. maybe took about 10-15 minutes to install including gathering tools and positioning myself under the rear bumper. not that difficult and seems to fit perfectly. will attach my bike rack and test it out. very satisfied with my purchase.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver And 3 Bike Rack For 2017 Lexus GX 460
    You can go with Curt or Draw-Tite hitch receiver for your 2017 Lexus GX 460. I recommend going with the Curt Class 3 Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13043 as Curt hitches typically have higher quality paint and protection against the elements. It has a max tongue weight of 500lbs which you do not want to exceed. You can then use any 2" accessory such as a bike rack with a 2" shank. The Swagman Trailhead 3 Bike Rack for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches # S63365 that you referenced will work well with the...

    We do not offer the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13043 in any other colors for your 2021 Lexus GX 460. It is common for power coating to come off with corrosion due to water and salt. If the steel is still in good condition you can take the hitch to a local powder coater that can burn off the remaining powder coat and you can custom pick a new color for your existing hitch.

    Your 2006 Lexus GX 470 is part of this vehicle's first generation, which ran through 2009.

  • Why Does Factory Hitch Look Different Than The Curt Trailer Hitch, # C13043, On A 2010 Lexus GX460
    On the 2010 Lexus GX460, the Curt Trailer Hitch, # C13043, will bolt to existing holes underneath the bumper beam. The holes in the bumper beam bracket will have existing weldnuts already in the bracket, so you will just line up the holes on the hitch to the holes in the bumper beam bracket and bolt it down. The Curt hitch and the other hitches I have listed are the same style. The manufacturers (Curt, Draw-Tite and Hidden Hitch) say the reason their hitch looks different than the factory...

  • Hitch Recommendation for a 2013 Lexus GX 460
    Yes, I checked with Curt and the Curt trailer hitch part # C13043 that you referenced is confirmed to fit a 2013 Lexus GX460. The only option for trailer wiring is the dealer option that you guys probably sell. For ball mounts I recommend the etrailer Ball Mount Kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts, 2 balls, a hitch pin with clip, and a carrying bag.

  • Do You Recommend the Saris SuperClamp EX or the Kuat NV 2.0 for My 2016 Lexus GX 460?
    While both of these racks are great options, the Kuat NV 2.0 # NV22B-NA22B does not provide the weight capacity you need for your 60-pound e-bike when 4 bikes are loaded. This is because the weight capacity reduces to 50 pounds per bike with 3 bikes and 40 pounds per bike for 4 bikes. For this reason, I strongly recommend going with the Saris SuperClamp EX Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches # SA4026F.

  • Capacity of Curt Class III Trailer Hitch for 2014 Lexus GX460
    The ability of the hitch and your GX 460 to tow your boat will depend on the weight of the boat and the towing capacity of the hitch and the vehicle. The Curt Class III hitch you referenced, part # C13043 has a 5000 lb trailer weight/500 lb tongue weight capacity, but the vehicle itself has a 6500 lb towing capacity. If your old ball mount has the correct amount of rise or drop to tow the trailer so it's level, you can by all means reuse it. It sounds like the dealer's really trying...

  • 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.
