CURT Class 3 Trailer Hitch, 2-Inch Receiver, Fits Select Lexus GX460, Rated for 5,000 lbs. GTW, Rust Resistant, Easy to Install - 13043

I recently got 32" Tires for my 2013 GX460, and my spare tire wasn't fitting in the stock location anymore. I moved it to the trunk / storage area, and started hating how much space it took up. I finally decided to pull the trigger on a Wilco Hitchgate swinging tire carrier, so this Curt Hitch was needed. I purchased it, and it was promptly delivered. I've been overall very happy with the hitch with no real complaints.Pros:Easy install. Took me about 20 minutes, with the 4 bolts being torqued to 86 ft/lbs for my application.Seamless install. There was no issues with it fitting my bumper, as I understand there's some issue with it fitting too closely on the 2014+ installs. Mine fit perfect, with a small gap.Fully Class 3 Rated. Will tow 5000lbs - I didn't need to match the 6500 lbs towing rating of my vehicle, as I'll only really be carrying the swinging tire hitch, and bikes.Cons:Like all things I wish it was cheaper, but not really a true con.Wish it'd hold 6500 lbs like the Lexus branded hitch, but just a small gripe.Love this hitch, and really couldn't ask for much more. If you're thinking of getting this for your GX460, especially 2010-2013- this is a perfect fit.

The Lexus factory tow hitch receiver was not available when I purchased my 2023 GX and I'm glad it wasn't.This one was a breeze to install, works great, and was much less expensive.Installation consisted of lowering the spare tire a few inches, bolting it on with the included spacer plate, and raising the spare tire back into place.Since the GX tailgate swings out instead of up, you may want to consider using a ball mount with a longer shaft so that the tailgate clears any winches or other hardware on the front of the trailer when opening it.All in all, this is an ideal tow hitch receiver for the GX 460.

I could not see putting on one of those whole frame bumper hitches to mount a bike rack, and this product looked to be perfect. Well, it is. It is extremely well made and stout with high quality bolts that easily attached to the GX.

This trailer hitch will work on the 2022 Lexus GX 460, but it requires the removal of bumper trim in order to get it to fit. The hitch arrived to me with the hitch, spacer, bolts and washers along with basic install instructions. I was hoping that with the spacer plate I would be able to install the hitch without removing the trim on the 2022 Lexus GX, but unfortunately, it wouldn’t attach without removing a small strip of bumper trim. The removal of the trim is very easy with a trim tool. The clips all came off cleanly without breaking, and I could easily re-install the trim piece once the hitch is removed.I do not plan on doing much towing with the Lexus GX, but I do use my bike hitch rack to take bikes with me often. Installing this hitch allows me to easily haul bicycles safely and easily.Lastly, as of May 2022 Lexus does not offer a towing solution on the 2022 Lexus GX according to my local dealership. I am on a list, however, to get a factory trailer hitch once they become available. Right now this is an inexpensive option that is very easy to install with no previous experience needed.

This fits the Lexus GX 460 perfectly, it just requires a spacer that Curt will give you for FREE.After reading many reviews I purchased this off Curt's Amazon page for $75 below MSRP and it got to me 2 days later. When I went to put it on my 2017 GX 460 it wouldn't sit flush without pressing on the bumper considerably. So I went back to Amazon to look at more reviews/questions/answers. Multiple questions/answers about GX 460's said to get Curt's spacer in order for it to fit my 2017 GX 460 premium. I searched high and low for this spacer online to no avail, including Curt’s website. I had pretty much given up and was looking for local metal shops to fabricate me a stainless steel spacer that would fit. Right before I headed over to my local metal shop to have the spacer measured and cut I randomly decided to give Curt a call.After sitting on hold for ten minutes a gentleman picked up the phone and I explained what my dilemma was. He said that it should fit my vehicle but he would find an expert/engineer to double check about my issue. Fifteen minutes later he returned, telling me that in fact I would need a spacer and longer bolts. Expecting to pay for these extra parts I pulled out my credit card.The service rep only asked for my name/address to ship the parts and they were shipped the next morning and arrived to my house 4 days later (East Coast). This is why Curt is my go to for trailer parts/accessories. Yes, some of their accessories are made in China, (heavy duty steel is heavy duty steel) but they are still an American company. Their customer service is top notch and they stand behind their products.
