Expert Reply:

The etrailer Hitch item # e46YR and the Curt Hitch item # C13043 are identical hitches with the exception of the powder coat finish. They are both confirmed to fit a 2016 Lexus GX 460. These bolt directly to the frame with included hardware.

I recommend the etrailer Hitch item # e46YR. The matte black powder coat finish blends in better with the trim on your Lexus and is less obvious than the glossy finish on the Curt Hitch item # C13043. I have linked an installation video below so you can see the process and the final look.

If you plan on towing you will also need a wiring harness item # 119250KIT and a ball mount kit item # C45534.
