Yes; you can use the CIPA Universal Fit Towing Mirrors - Strap On - Qty 2 # 40375-2 you were looking at and they'll fit well on your 2017 Lexus GX460; these are the longest mirrors we've got that will fit on your vehicle and they'll provide a nice view behind your vehicle.

You could also use the K-Source Universal Towing Mirrors - Clip On - Flat Mirror - Qty 2 # KS69ZR, which I really like since they've got a bit larger mirror face. These K-Source mirrors have ratcheting straps to secure them to the vehicle that will help reduce vibrations and would be a nice alternative if you're worried about field of view.

I've linked some review videos of these mirrors for you to check out as well.
