I can give you the dimensions of the Curt hitch for the Volkswagen Tiguan, part # C12097, but I can't guarantee whether or not it'll fit your vehicle. All of the products we carry are designed specifically for vehicles manufactured for the North American market.

There are two sets of mounting holes and they're not even with one another. Center on center the holes closest to the rear of the vehicle with the hitch installed are about 3-1/8 inches apart and the ones towards the front are about 4-1/4 inches apart. The holes are about 1-1/4 inches from each other front to back on each side. The mounting plate that has the holes and goes against the vehicle frame is 6 by 4-1/2 inches.

You can see the dimensions in the diagram I attached. I also attached a picture that shows the positioning of the hitch installed.

The correct Curt hitch for your 2006 Lexus GX470 is the part # 13445. The hitch Charles mentioned above is only for certain model years of the VW Tiguan.
