Hey Josh,
If you're already setup with a 4-pole and have the Curt Echo # C51180 in hand then all you should need is just the # ETBC7L 7-way installation kit in order fully transfer over your lights and brake signal. You'll want to just cap off the yellow and blue wires with some electrical tape since you won't be using them.
The 4-pole connector will connect to the 4-way on the Lexus, the white wire will need to be ground to the frame using a ring terminal and self-tapping screw, and... view full answer...
The best wireless backup camera we offer which can be viewed on a mobile device is the Rear View Safety WiFi Hitch Backup Camera System part # RVS-83112-WiFi. This unit is battery powered so there will be no wiring involved and it will work just fine with a tablet as it is WiFi capable. The app which is required to use this camera is free and you won't need an active internet signal to use the system. view full answer...
The recommended solution for installing a hitch where the bolts all don't seem to perfectly line up is to first start each install bolt and leave it as loose as possible. This gives you a bit more leeway to compensate for holes that don't seem to line up perfectly. Once they are all started you can then begin to tighten them down. Typically what causes is this is the hitch getting bent in shipping. view full answer...
KC, I'd still replace the factory 4 way with # C55245, but then swap the 7 way you have with the Hopkins Endurance Multi-Tow 7-, 5- and 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector # HM48470. view full answer...
Hi Weldon; the distance across between the # BX2907 mounting holes is 27-1/2" on center. Blue Ox didn't have the measurement front to back, and we don't have one in the warehouse I can measure right now if you were looking for that measurement as well. This is designed to fit the 1998 - 2003 Toyota Land Cruiser and 1998 - 2004 Lexus LX 470. view full answer...
The P3 Brake Controller part # 90195 is an excellent choice for a brake controller so you are off to a great start.
To convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install a brake controller all you would need is the part # ETBC7. This comes with everything needed so you would not need the other components you referenced.
I attached an install video plus installation instructions for you to check out as well. view full answer...
The Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack part # MPG217 has a 165 lb weight capacity. In regards to rooftop tent carrier compatibility, you'll need to refer to the rooftop tent manufacturer. Take the Yakima SkyRise HD Tent for Roof Rack Crossbars part # Y07436 for example. It has a 400 lb weight capacity but it only requires that the roof rack be rated for 165 lbs as it uses the integrated ladder for additional support. view full answer...
Hey Jake, a square 7-way connector is not a standard connector and we do not have an adapter. Is the trailer by chance an older Jayco? I know they used to have some proprietary square connectors that most people were just cutting off and wiring a standard connector in place of like the part # H20046. view full answer...
We don't offer the circuit boards for Magnetek power converters but I do recommend a complete replacement as more than just the circuit board could've been damaged. I recommend the Progressive Dynamics Inteli-Power RV Converter and Battery Charger - 12V - 30 Amps Item # PD9130. The # PD9103 will convert AC shore power to DC power to quickly charge your RV batteries and provide continuous power to your DC breaker panel to run 12V loads. It works with flooded lead acid, AGM, and gel batteries.... view full answer...
I definitely have a solution for you, however as you mentioned in your question a standard friction sway bar like the Reese # 83660 or a full weight distribution system that uses this type of friction sway control cannot be used on trailers with surge brakes. This is because the tension they put on the tongue will limit the movement and effectiveness of the surge coupler (and thus your braking).
With all of that being said, there are still weight distribution systems with integrated sway... view full answer...
I reached out to Draw-Tite and Curt directly and unfortunately cannot confirm that either the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75095 or the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13443 will accommodate the larger 285/75r16 33inch spare tire you mentioned on your 2005 Lexus LX 470. This is because both trailer hitch receivers were made to fit factory 31inch tires and have not been tested with anything larger.
Curt sent me a picture that shows some clearance around the spare tire, but... view full answer...
Thanks for the pictures!
To determine if your Lexus 470 is indeed a 1999 or 2000, you can look under the hood for an emissions testing sticker which will give the year or you can call your local Lexus dealer with the VIN and they should be able to clear this up for you.
If your vehicle is indeed a 1999, the Curt Custom Fit T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness, # C55365, will work for you.
If it is a 2000, then the wiring harness for you would be the Upgraded Circuit Protected Taillight... view full answer...
I do have an option for you but there are no direct plug-in 7-ways for a 1999 Lexus LX 470. However, I do have what you need to obtain one and for this you will need two parts, the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness part # C55365 and the Adapter 4-Pole to 7-Pole and 4-Pole part # 37185. That said, this will be your only option as they again do not offer a plug-in 7-way for this particular vehicle.
The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness is plug and play. The Adapter 4-Pole to... view full answer...
Ultra-Fab Stabilizer Jack # UF39-941707 will bolt onto a trailer using the bolt holes that are present on the mounting flanges of this jack as well as with the included nuts and bolts. You will most likely have to drill holes in the frame of your trailer so that you can install this jack.
Check out the picture I attached that shows the mounting flange up close. view full answer...
When it comes installing trailer wiring on your 2000 Lexus The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector 118365 will not fit your vehicle. The wiring harness you would need is The Hopkins Tail Light Converter Kit with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # HM48925.

There are 2 different Curt trailer wiring harnesses for your 2002 Lexus LX 470. If the vehicle did not come with the factory tow package then you would need # C59236. If it does have the factory tow package you would use # C55245. If you are not sure, have a Lexus dealer run the VIN number to tell you how it is equipped.
Please note that even if a model has the connection point for harness # C55245 it may not be active if the vehicle does not have the factory tow package.

For your 2000 Lexus LX 470 we have the Blue Ox base plate kit part # BX2907 which is a confirmed fit and is very easy to use.
In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. One of the most popular compatible tow bars is the Blue Ox Avail # BX7420 which comes with safety cables. The coiled design helps keep the cables off of the ground.
For lighting you can use the diode kit, # RM-15267,... view full answer...
The SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs # SS78DR won't affect the ride quality of your 2004 Lexus LX 470
when you aren't towing - this is one of the great things about the SumoSprings kits.
SuperSprings says this kit is 11" tall so it depends on how much space you have between the mounting location and where this jounce spring makes contact with your vehicle. If you have 11" of space with the vehicle at the lowest setting then you'll be good to go. If it's less than 11" then you might... view full answer...
To install the brake controller wiring harness, # 3040-P, on your 2006 Lexus LX470, look for a connector under the dash. It will be located on the far left side above the emergency brake pedal. It will have a white cap. It may be taped to another harness and could be located more to the right of the e-brake pedal. I have included a link to the installation details for you. view full answer...
