Expert Reply:
You can easily convert the 4-way on your 2001 Lexus LX470 to a 5-way to attach to connect to your boat trailer. The only thing you need is the Tow Ready 4 Pole to 5 Pole Trailer Wiring Adapter # 20036.
The only thing you'll need to do is tap into a reverse light wire on your 2001 Lexus, and this adapter comes with a quick splice which allows you to easily do that.
I have added a link to a video review for you to check out as well of the Tow Ready 4 Pole to 5 Pole Trailer Wiring Adapter # 20036.
