Okay, good thread!
I just got a 2004 GX470 with no hitch. I need one and am currently looking for as much info regarding both types offered for this application. I have a hitch cover that has the cut out (52169-60051-XX) and would like to get that hitch. I have a 2005 Malibu to tow and need to actually check on how much it weighs. I will make some phone calls to referred people here and try to get some more info. Thx for any other info you can provide.

I bought an integral hitch for 06 GX470 with a correct cutout but never installed it. As for your question, integral hitch is really for smaller trailers and I bough it for the bike carrier. Since then I went with the roof one. I will be posting my hitch kit on the For sale forum but I am selling it along with the cutout cover to get all of my money worth for it since it is brand new.
If I were you I would go with 6500 hitch.

I was told the Integral hitch will not work on mine. Strange, thought it would work on any of them. I looked underneath the back of mine and it doesn’t look like it would work either. Oh, I was told by So Bay Lexus that it wouldn’t work. I guess I need the larger (full) hitch.
Here are the parts I need (i was told):
1-PT22860540 Class IV Hitch
1-8198560020 Adapter Relay Box (green)
2-9098702016 Adapter-Fuse Box Relay
1-Bumper insert for class IV hitch, unk part number
This whole "Hitch" thing for the GX is something else. Everyone I talk to has something different to say about it. Amazing! It’s clearly easier to just buy a GX with the hitch already on it. Next time

Is it an oversized spare, or actual running tires that conflict? I have KDSS, but probably won't go oversized on the tires - but you never know. I need to understand the issue fully before making a hitch decison. I know the big hitch is 6500/650 rated, and the integral is 5000 pulling capacity, but what about it's tongue load capacity?

You have a mount already in place that attaches to the larger frame mounted hitch, that has to come off first. I had it on mine before I put the integral hitch on too. I think that there are about 6 large bolts that hole it on. Once that is off and out of the wa, the intagral hitch bolts up to where the other piece was.
Hope that makes sence...

The integral hitch WILL work on ALL GX470's.

Smitty...52171-60060 says towing beside it in the parts list below the exploded diagram on Sewell's page. Check it out at Sewell. They also have 52171-60050 listed also, not sure if there is a right and left or just one order number gets you both.
