Helpful Expert Reply:
If your 2005 Lexus GX470 came with a factory 7-way the part # HM43374 that you referenced would plug into the same connectors that the factory one plugged into.
If your vehicle didn't come with a trailer connector you would need to first start with a 4-way like part # C59496.
Now if your trailer does not have brakes all you would need is the part # 37185 as an adapter to convert the 4-way to a 7-way.
If you do have trailer brakes you would need the # ETBC7 instead of the # 37185 and a brake controller. This kit comes with everything needed to wire up the 7-way and install a brake controller.
For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup.
