How to Select a Trailer Hitch
Why a GX shopper usually lands on a Class 3 tube with a two inch receiver, then still respects the door-sticker tow limit.
Watch on YouTube →Shopping a trailer hitch for a Lexus GX in Canada? Match the generation first. CURT 13043 is the live Class 3 card we stock for listed GX460 years from 2010 through 2022, with a two inch receiver and strong quantity on this store today. Older GX470 years land on CURT 13445, the Class 3 card shared with matching 4Runner years. We are honest about missing year landers and the lack of a dedicated GX550 hitch card on this store right now.
All four videos are from the official CURT YouTube channel (@curtmfg). Use them for class selection, install habits, wiring basics, and ball-mount height before you dig into the cards below.

Watch on YouTube →General install habits. Finish with the instruction sheet for 13043 or 13445 — body-on-frame SUVs still need careful exhaust and spare-tire clearance checks.
Watch on YouTube →Useful even when a GX-specific harness is not listed here — plan lights before the first camping weekend.
Watch on YouTube →Both GX cards use a two inch opening. Lifted trucks and stock-height SUVs still need a level trailer more than a pretty drop number.
Watch on YouTube →CURT 13043 is the Class 3 hitch we list for Lexus GX460 years CURT writes as 2010 through 2022 on the card, with a two inch receiver and weight-distribution compatibility notes. It is active with solid in-stock quantity on Lots of Parts today. Free shipping applies on CURT gear from this store when the SKU is live.
CURT 13445 covers 2003 through 2009 Lexus GX470 on a Class 3 card that also lists matching Toyota 4Runner years. If you own the older GX470, that is the path — not 13043.
We publish hitch year landers for many GX and GX460 and GX470 years, but not every calendar year. Missing landers and the newer GX550 generation are called out below instead of invented.
| Item | Status on this store |

These are the Lexus GX hitch year pages we publish today. We do not invent landers for missing years such as 2006, 2007, 2011, or 2021.
If your sticker year has no lander above, use the product card years and ask support — do not guess from a neighbour’s truck.
We are not stretching an LX or Highlander harness onto a GX. Plan lights with the wiring guide or support.
A strong hitch rating does not rewrite Lexus tow and tongue numbers for your trim and axle setup.
The older card lists 4Runner years too. Shop a 4Runner on its own guide when that is the vehicle you own.
