Features to know about

Carry More and Tow with Confidence: Class III Strength with 5,000 lbs GTW

When it’s time to haul small trailers, boats, or campers, this TowSmart Class III hitch delivers dependable strength. With a maximum gross trailer weight of 5,000 lbs and 500 lbs tongue weight, it’s built for light to moderate towing needs. The 2" x 2" receiver fits standard towing accessories so you can move gear, cargo, or bikes without worrying about stability or safety on the road.

Get Your Gear Out There: 2" Receiver for Bike Racks and Cargo Carriers

The 2" receiver opening is ready for most common accessories—bike racks, cargo carriers, and more—so loading up for a weekend ride or a road trip is simple. Its 500-lb tongue weight rating means it can handle multi-bike racks or heavy cargo trays with ease. You’ll have the flexibility to carry what you need without giving up rear access or ground clearance.

Install It Yourself in an Afternoon: Bolt-On Design, No Drilling Needed

Designed for easy DIY installation, this hitch bolts directly onto your vehicle with the included hardware—no drilling or welding required. Most folks can mount it using basic tools right in the driveway. The bolt-on setup keeps everything aligned and secure while saving time and hassle during the install.

Built to Last through Every Season: Round-Tube Steel with Matte Black Powder Coat

The sturdy round-tube design adds strength without looking bulky, and the matte black powder coat finish resists rust and road grime better than glossy coatings. That means your hitch stays protected from weather, dirt, and salt while keeping a clean look under the bumper. It’s made for long-term reliability whether you’re towing for work or heading out on an adventure.

Hi everybody, Andy here with etrailer. Let's take a quick look at this TowSmart custom fit two inch trailer hitch receiver. Now this is designed to fit your 2010 to 2023 Lexus GX 460 and on custom fit parts such as this trailer hitch receiver, I do recommend taking advantage of our vehicle fit guide here at etrailer. Simply input the year, make, and model of your vehicle and our pick guide will confirm if this will work for you or if we have something comparable that will work for you. Now this trailer hitch receiver is a bolt-on hitch that's going to mount to the rear of your Lexus GX so you can tow a trailer or use hitch-mounted accessories. It has the most common and flexible setup, a two inch receiver opening.

And with a 500 pound tongue weight, this hitch is gonna be ready for your multi bike rack or a fully loaded cargo carrier. Whether you're hauling electric bikes or extra gear for a weekend trip, this is gonna handle the weight with ease. The 5,000 pound towing capacity is gonna make this ideal for hauling small travel trailers, utility trailers, or lightweight boat trailers, giving you the flexibility to take your adventure where you want it. So this hitch is made from fully welded steel and it is finished with a black powder coat so it's gonna be strong and it is designed to resist rust and corrosion over time.

This will install with the included hardware that you see here. And so what's nice about this is since it's a bolt-on, you're not gonna have to worry about drilling or welding or anything like that.
