Congrats on the new 08'!!! 
I wound up ordering the rubber/plastic cap replacement for my 2" hitch because the original fell off! Please be careful with the cap after a few miles the "rubber/plastic" starts to lose it's grip and it easily falls out, or if you part it in a "public" lot, shopping center, supermarket, kids and vandals can easily "rip" it out...
It was cheap enough to replace about $20 ~ $25 USD via Sewell Lexus Service in Texas!!!
I think you're the only OTHER Lexus Gx470 owner I've seen with the plastic HITCH cap online or in real life!!! I guess others are taking it with them when they park their truck!!! LOL
Good Luck and enjoy!

Congrats.
I got the wifey an 08 a few months back w/factory DVD ent. system.
Let me know if you are able to view the NAv. through the Ent. system in the back......
I know if you're in park and engage the emergency brake you can view DVD's
in the front, but I can't get Nav. in the back.

I R&R the Lexus hitch when I changed vehicles. So the rubber cap has been on the hitch since June 95 and is still holding on tightly. I always leave the cap in place and only remove it while I wash the GX.

Something must have been defective with the rubber trailer hitch cap. I have had the same hitch and rubber cap on my current 07 GX as I had on my 05 and 06 GX.

Thanks for the info Bob, as of right now, a bit of extra rubber and black electrician's tape is filling in nicely to build up the cap to fit snugly into the hitch for now...
