Are we all speaking about the same thing here. I was at the Toyota dealer today looking at the 4runner and noted that they have the receiver part of the hitch that I need already installed on the sport model. I also got the run around from this dealer saying they need to go through Lexus. (do I note a conspiracy here?) I already paid for the useless "tow" package that was on the GX from the factory. While I was there they called a local Lexus dealer and I could not beleive the story they gave this Toyota guy. The Lexus parts person said "due to the way the door opens, Lexus will not provide a hitch". I just looked at him a said you just got the runaround that most GX owners have gotten in the past few months. I am going to go to another Toyota dealer and note that all I need is a hitch reciever and never mention the GX. I do believe that this option was in the hundreds of dollars ....and useless to this point. And all I want to do is carry a bike rack!
