Also I ordered and installed a class 4 hitch on the gx. I got all but 1 bolt in and that needed added tools ie a thread resoring kit craftsman. This was due to the inserts not being filled with a bolt and getting corroded. After a bit of surgery it went up great. the wiring harness was another story. See this exchange from etrailer.com (where I got the hitch from). So i had to send the first incorrect one back and ordered type that has to be spliced in. I may go with the correct one from below but I will have to try and locate the relays at another $160.
11143374 Hopkins Multi-Tow 7-Way Blade and 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector - Toyota
. To save others the trouble, I'm listing the part numbers here, which are available from lexuspartsnow.com 81985-0021 - Green Towing Converter Relay (need 1) 90987-02025 - Grey Relay for Towing and Battery Charge (need 2) The green relay goes into a pre-wired socket behind the driver side trim piece in the rear (above the jack). The 2 Grey relays are t be plugged into the Relay Box in the engine compartment (driver side). Remove the black cover and then pop the cover off the relay box that has two empty slots for Towing and Battery Charging. It costs about $162 with ground shipping for the 3 relays. I ordered mine today and should have everything working in a couple of days. I must say I was impressed with the quality of the Hopkins unit. 7
