How to Select a Trailer Hitch
Match hitch class to the door sticker and the live card before you shop a heavier trailer than the vehicle can honestly tow.
Watch on YouTubeLexus GX470 Trailer Hitch Buyers Guide (Canada)
Shopping a trailer hitch for a Lexus GX470 in Canada? Start with the door-sticker year on this earlier GX generation, then open CURT 13445. That Class 3 hitch uses a two inch receiver. The live storefront path covers listed GX470 years on a shared carton that also names matching Toyota 4Runner years on the same title. Shared 4Runner sheet honesty is why this page exists beside the Lexus GX hitch guide and the Toyota 4Runner hitch guide. Utility trailers and weekend gear are the usual ask when the Lexus sticker agrees. Confirm ratings on the live product card. Canada orders often ship free on qualifying baskets, so confirm the cart note before you check out.
Parts-counter shortcut.
Read the door sticker, confirm your GX470 year against live 13445, then shop two inch mounts that match the tube.

Watch these CURT videos first
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 product cards below.
If an embed does not load, use the YouTube link under the card. GX470 shoppers usually land on Class 3 two inch hardware on the shared 13445 carton. The live title also names matching 4Runner years, so treat that shared 4Runner sheet honestly.

Match shank size to the live tube, then level the trailer with rise versus drop once the hitch is on.
Watch on YouTubeThe live hitch path for listed GX470 years
CURT 13445 is a Class 3 hitch with a two inch receiver path. On the live storefront the card lists GX470 fitment for the years that still return here, and the live title also names matching Toyota 4Runner years on the same shared carton. Gross trailer weight on the live card sits around five thousand pounds with five hundred pounds tongue weight, and the live notes also list weight-distribution capacity around five thousand five hundred pounds with five hundred fifty pounds tongue weight when the vehicle and hitch stack both allow it. Your Lexus door sticker still sets the ceiling.
Honest catalogue gap: we only link GX470 year landers that already return on this store. Live landers cover two thousand three through two thousand five plus two thousand eight and two thousand nine. We skip missing years such as two thousand six and two thousand seven rather than invent pages. Shared 4Runner sheet honesty means we say the same live carton also names matching 4Runner years instead of pretending 13445 is a GX470-only part. Broader GX shopping stays on the Lexus GX hitch guide. 4Runner shopping stays on the Toyota 4Runner hitch guide.
Class 3 two inch hardware suits utility trailers and weekend gear when the Lexus sticker and the live hitch card both agree. Dedicated trailer wiring still needs a harness title that lists your year. Confirm ratings on the live product card before you force a heavier setup than this Class 3 tube can honestly carry.
