fantastic video!!!!!
The wiring harness mount on a ‘22 sits really far back. Anyone know how to remount closer to the hitch and make it easier to connect the wires to the trailer? Using the curt mount
Went to lexus to order a tow hitch but they could not get me one because lexus has a hold on them at the moment does anyone know where i can get my hands on a tow hitch?
the 2021 and 2022 MY don't even have that slight trailor cut away anymore, just a smooth rear bumper
So GX has Towing capacity of 6500lb not 6800lb. Also Curt Hitch has rating of Tow carrying capacity of 5000lb not Towing capacity. They are different.
I just called Lexus dealer in my area (Kansas City) to get the same exact hitch and was told that they are not allowed to sell them even if they have them in stock due to liability issues. He also mentioned that they will be releasing a new one sometime in late August or September of 2022.
Where did you buy yours?
Do you know where I can find one now
Is it me or anyone having issues finding this oem, anyone know the part number?
I hope you realize the hitch is only rated for 5000 pounds when conventionally towing. You need a weight distributing hitch setup in order for it to handle 6800 pounds. So not only do you have to buy the ball and the ball mount as you mentioned but also the weight distributing hitch setup.
Very, very good video. Will be installing mine very soon. Thanks!!
Thanks! I'm planning to put a hitch on my '18 GX 460, more for rear end protection and ability to attach a receiver hitch recovery point if needed. Prices, as you say, are all over the map for the factory part. The Curt currently goes for about $230: I've found the Lexus mount for about $50 more, with free shipping (I think) or a 90-miles drive to pick up. You definitely have to shop.
This is SO helpful. I only need the hitch for a bike rack so I am just going go go with the Curt. Thank you for saving me time and $.
Very great helpful video, for a 21 GX 460 there are a few different steps, removal of the old plug holder and plastic bumper part covering the hitch spot.
Thanks it everything else was the same.
The size of the ball will be determined by the trailer.
Appreciate the video! About to install mine and this was great for the nuances of removing the various parts prior to install
Thanks for this – I've got mine coming tomorrow! Always nice to get an idea what I'm in for!
Just installed it. Thanks for the video
Do you reuse the bolts from the tow hook? Or are the supplied bolts different size?
I just installed myself one
I wish I'd seen this before I bought and installed the Curt one.
Whats the part number for the kit?
