Hey Jeff! Yes, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12231 is the right hitch for your 2004 Lexus LS 430. The only wiring available is universal so you can use the Curt 4-Way # C56496 along with the Powered Converter Wiring Kit # 55151 to add a 4-way for your trailer lights. Since you already have a ball mount you're all set.

It’s just a 5 x 8 utility trailer for occasional use. Nothing major. Some have raised their eyebrow wondering why I would put a hitch on a Lexus. I don’t think it really stands out when not towing. Besides it’s a 2004 Lexus lol.
