Driving the family up to the campground? Hauling tools and equipment from the home improvement store? Pulling your boat to the nearby swimming hole? Whatever your destination and whatever trailer you're towing, Bring It® with a CURT trailer hitch!
CURT class 3 trailer hitches are designed, built and tested to accommodate a wide variety of towing applications. They are used on everything from full-size cars, vans and crossovers to light-duty pickup trucks and SUVs. Class 3 trailer hitches are perfect for towing fishing boat trailers, popup campers, ATV trailers, utility trailers and much more. They are also ideal for adding storage space to your vehicle with a hitch-mounted cargo carrier or bike rack (NOTE: Never exceed the lowest-rated towing component).
Each CURT class 3 hitch is engineered to fit on a specific vehicle. This provides the best possible fit and easiest installation. This particular custom class 3 hitch fits specific years of the Lexus GX460 (to verify vehicle compatibility, see the CURT application guide or use the Vehicle Lookup tool). It is designed to integrate with the vehicle's existing features and offer a reliable connection to your trailer.
This Lexus GX460 hitch is stringently tested in accordance with SAE J684 to ensure a weight carrying capacity of 5,000 lbs. gross trailer weight and 500 lbs. tongue weight. It is compatible with a weight distribution hitch to provide more stable towing and a weight distribution rating of 5,000 lbs. WD and 500 lbs. WDTW. It also features a 2" receiver tube opening to accept ball mount or other hitch accessory with a 2" x 2" shank.
From class 1 to class 5, all CURT custom-fit receiver hitches are made in the USA to ensure quality from design to finish (may include imported hardware). They are designed with hands-on engineering for a precise fit. They are welded using a combination of manual and robotic operations for speed and accuracy. Finally, they are finished with our unique co-curing process. Each hitch is dipped in a liquid A-coat for rust prevention, inside and out, and then co-cured in a durable black powder coat finish for maximum rust, chip and UV resistance.
Every CURT custom hitch design is thoroughly tested at our in-house testing facility in Detroit, MI. We adhere to the proposed SAE J684 testing protocols to make sure that the hitch you mount on your vehicle will be a dependable means to enjoy your lifestyle.
Whatever your passion -- whether it's hunting, fishing, camping, offroading or hard work -- you can expect reliability for the road ahead. All CURT custom hitches are covered by a limited lifetime warranty to give you confidence in each adventure, season after season.

On my first two GX's, I had factory installed hitch. My 2019 had the base, but not the actual hitch. I did not have to even adjust the spare tire. It fit perfectly. Just need a good 1/2 socket wrench and WD-40, and the bike rack is operational again. Thanks.

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. -
The Curt hitch appears to be nice quality and nicely finished. I installed this on a 2019 Lexus GX460. I searched for an aftermarket Class IV hitch with no luck, so I settled on the Curt Class III hitch. It will reduce the towing capacity from 6500 lbs. to 5000 lbs., which is OK with me.
The only real issue I had installing the hitch was the plastic piece of trim in the center of the rear bumper. I didn't like the hitch touching the bumper, so removed the trim to find Lexus did not nicely finish the bumper for that piece of trim to be removed. I then reinstalled the trim and installed the hitch. Note: It is definitely worth the extra five minutes to drop the spare tire about two inches when installing the hitch.
The hitch does firmly press against the bumper, but I put a piece of protective film on the bumper to keep the hitch from rubbing the paint. I read different reviews where people had metal plates made or used washers to drop the hitch 1/4 inch. Curt does not recommend the use of washers. I don't believe touching the bumper will cause it to crack/break, but if you don't use a piece of protective film it will likely wear on the paint. All in all, I'm happy, but wish Curt would drop the receiver about 1/4 inch to keep the hitch from touching the bumper.
