CURT 13043 is a vehicle-specific Class III 2" receiver hitch engineered to give your Lexus GX460 a 5,000 lb gross trailer weight capacity and a 500 lb tongue weight rating.

What makes this hitch fit the Lexus GX460 securely?

This unit is designed as a vehicle-specific mounting kit, meaning its shape and attachment points match the GX460’s frame for a snug, factory-like installation. That reduces wobble, improves load transfer and avoids cutting or modifying the vehicle’s structure.
