Hitch Recommendation for a 2013 Lexus GX 460

Question

Question:

Hi, I work at a Lexus Dealer, in parts. Will the C13043 work on a 2013 GX460? Our techs say they will not work, yet everyone aftermarket shows the same thing.

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.

The Draw Tite hitch part #75685 that you referenced is a confirmed fit for your 2018 Lexus GX 460. It does come pretty close to the lower fascia on the rear of the vehicle so it touching it would not be too unusual. I attached a picture that shows it…
