For your LX 470 I recommend the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # 1151-1 which was designed for the 1999-2002 Lexus LX 470 and Toyota Land Cruiser.
To complete your flat tow setup you will also need a tow bar, safety cables, wiring for lights, and a supplemental braking system.
I recommend the Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar # RM-522 which will make unhooking your vehicle a breeze even on un-even ground, and will work perfectly with the Direct Connect Base Plate Kit # 1151-1 for your vehicle. The Falcon All Terrain # RM-522 includes safety cables so you will not need to purchase them separately.
For wiring for lights I recommend the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267 which will give you a 6-way connector for the front of your vehicle and a 7-way to 6-way cord to plug into the rear of your tow vehicle.
Lastly for a supplemental braking system I recommend the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR due to it being easy to install and easy to remove when you are done flat towing.
There is a good chance that you will also need a high/low adapter to level your tow bar, so I attached an article that goes over how to measure for the correct adapter and a link to all of our high/low adapters and videos to all of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
