I do have an option for you but I spoke with my contact at Roadmaster and they informed me that the Roadmaster Stowaway Storage System part # RM-4000-40 which is used to attach the Roadmaster Guardian Rock Guard part # RM-4000 on the back on an RV will not work with the Roadmaster Tow Defender Protective Screening part # RM-4700.
In order to use both the Stowaway and the Guardian on your vehicle with a protective screen you will need to use the Roadmaster Tow Defender Protective Screening... view full answer...
Hello Stephan,
I was able to go out and get the measurements you requested. From the center of the hitch pin hole to the top of the Benton Shifts&Grins #B82FR when it’s folded up to the highest point is 71". When the rack is in use, the measurement from the center of the hitch pin to the highest point is about 43" (an adult bike would be taller than this when in use). I’ve attached some pictures for reference as well.
We don’t currently have the straps or other replacement parts listed... view full answer...
Thanks for reaching out!
It looks like you're needing the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX2908 for your 2007 Lexus GX 470. This comes with the removeable tabs so when you aren't towing you have a nice, clean look.
I recommend checking your owner's manual for any specifications when it comes to prepping your vehicle for flat towing. view full answer...
It is possible to use the Rightline Gear SUV Tent # RL110907 with your Lexus GX 470 that has a side-opening rear hatch. I spoke with my contact at Rightline and she confirmed that tent can work with a vehicle like your GX 470.
There are some things to keep in mind that will be different with a side-opening rear hatch. Since the tent was designed to use the rear hatch to help support part of the tent roof, with a side-opening hatch there will likely be some sagging at this part of the... view full answer...
Thank you for the picture!
It actually looks like you already have a 7-Way socket installed on your 2006 Lexus GX 470. If you check out the attached photo of the Hopkins Endurance Multi-Tow Twist-Mount 7-Way RV and 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector # HM40920 you can see how they are similar. My guess is that someone install the 7-Way at a weird angle either to try keeping your Lexus looking factory or because they didn't have a choice. You'll want to verify that the various functions work by... view full answer...
Hello Jim,
I see that you were looking at the Curt Adjustable Tow Bar - Coupler Style for 2" Ball - 5,000 lbs # C19745, nice thing about these tow bars is that they are universal and they don't even need base plate. They come with their own brackets that will be installed on the Lexus. You will need some safety cables as well, # RM-645 will get the job done.
For the lights I would go with the Universal Magnetic Tow Lights - 20' Wiring Harness with 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector # TL21RK... view full answer...
The 60" x 49" Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform Rack # RR35TB requires specific fit kits and is only compatible with certain vehicles. We do have a Pioneer platform rack that will fit the factory crossbars on your 2009 Lexus GX 470 but unfortunately this is not the correct part number.
Instead you need to use the 58" x 47" Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform Rack # RR42115BF which is a universal fit that is compatible with round, square, elliptical, and most factory crossbars. This rack features mounting... view full answer...
The Thule Motion 3 cargo box # TH59PN will mount to the factory roof rack on your 2007 Lexus GX470. But with the box installed it will interfere with the rear hatch and you will not be able to open it all the way.
The largest box that you can use and not have interference issues with is the smaller Motion cargo box, # TH629806. If the hatch interference does not bother you then you can still use the larger box. view full answer...
The only trailer hitch options for a 2006 Lexus GX 470 are those that include a cross tube, they don't offer any that simply bolt to the center of the bumper. The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 75155 has the highest weight capacity and it comes with a partial trailer connector mounting bracket so this is what I recommend. It only weighs about 30 lbs. view full answer...
Item # CM11401 is not compatible with a 2008 Lexus GX470 as these are a custom fit mirror. I recommend the CIPA Universal Fit Towing Mirror Item # 40375. This mirror fit most applications and fits driver side and passenger side. This is a single mirror so if you are needing a second one, just use the same part number. This mirror will not interfere with the normal functions of the factory mirror. view full answer...

Hey Brad, one issue with 6-way wiring that gets a lot of people is that there are two standard 6-way wiring configuration with the only difference being that the 12 volt hot wire and the brake output circuit is swapped. I wouldn't think that is for sure your issue but figured it was worth mentioning.
Aside from that it's actually really easy to create shorts between circuits when installing a new connector so I would make sure that all of the wires at the back of your new connector aren't... view full answer...
Hey Clifford,
To attach a trailer wire harness to the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e45AR you'll need a no-drill mounting bracket # 18140 (short) or # 18136 (long) to wrap around the crosstube of the hitch and a bracket # 18144 (4-pole) or # PK12711U (7-pole) to mount your wire harness connector.
Looking at how the # e45AR sits on a 2006 Lexus GX 470 you could probably go with the short # 18140 if you have a 4-pole connector and place it on the top of the hitch. If you have a 7-pole... view full answer...
Alright, so let's start with the Dr. Tray; I checked with Yakima for you and there isn't a replacement shank/stinger for the Dr. Tray so there's no way to convert it from a 1-1/4 inch to 2 inch shank. So the best option really is going to be a hitch reducer, with one specific option I recommend:
- Hitch Reducer 2" to 1-1/4" Trailer Hitch Receiver # HT02
The reason I recommend going with this reducer is because unlike most reducers it does not reduce the tongue weight capacity of your... view full answer...
It depends on how far the door swings out on your Lexus, but what I can tell you is the measurement from the center of the hitch to the swing-away arm is 33 inches on the Yakima EXO system you asked about:
- Yakima EXO Swing Away Storage System w/ 2 Enclosed Cargo Carriers - 2" Hitches # Y74ZR
I have added a photo of the EXO system showing this measurement, which should tell you if you can fully open the rear door without any interference. No matter what you will be able to open the door... view full answer...
I spoke with our tire and wheel expert (30+ years in the business) and he stated that Demco is rounding the bolt pattern up to 115mm. This often happens with companies that do not manufacturer the tires and wheels. Wheel # DM11574 is indeed the exact replacement from Demco for the KarKaddy SS tow dolly. view full answer...
I spoke with Blue Ox about the lack of instructions with the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX2908 and was told that it's one of their older baseplates and that the chart for those no longer exists but that the # BX1139 has the same torque specifications and lists them up at the top of the installation instructions.
I've attached those instructions below so that you can complete the baseplate installation on your 2004 Lexus GX 470. view full answer...
From the picture you sent in it looks like you are needing the Hopkins Plug-In Simple Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package # HM43374 for your 2004 Lexus GX 470. This gives you both a 4-Way and a 7-Way connector for various trailer applications. view full answer...
The Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain Tow Bar part # RM-677 is a really great tow bar and all you'd need to flat tow your 2004 Lexus GX 470 with it would be the Roadmaster base plate kit part # 1168-1 which is a confirmed fit.
For lighting you can use the diode kit, # RM-152, and not have to worry about cutting into the taillight housing. This will splice into your taillight wiring to allow your tow vehicle to control the taillight assemblies of the towed vehicle. This comes with a round... view full answer...
Given the connectors shown in the photo, although your 2003 Lexus GX470 wasn't equipped with the factory 7-way trailer connector, it looks like it's pre-wired for one. The connectors shown match up perfectly with the # HM43374 7-way trailer connector for the 2003 Lexus GX470.
You'll want to use a circuit tester like # PTW2993 on the pins of the 2 connectors you found to see if they're active. I've provided a photo showing how they're pinned out; your connectors will be a mirror image of... view full answer...
