Probably just the hitch, right?

Hate to act stupid, but is there a Lexus part number or aftermarket spec for Class III?

http://lexus.sewellparts.com/accesso...2007-1404.html The part number will display once you've added the product to your shopping cart (shipping quote available too).

For pricing specific to Club Lexus members you will want to register your account while inputting your Club Lexus forum name when it prompts you to do so during the registration. Once you’re registered as a CL member, you’ll find preferred pricing is available for each item. This is the best way we knew how to convey the preferred pricing specific to those actively participating in the forums.

Sewell doesn't indicate the towing capacity of the hitch? Usually hitches come with Class ratings?

I have an 07 GX that came with the tow prep. I bought a Lexus hitch and suggest you do the same. Aside from having to get a longer breaker bar to loosen some of the bolts, it was an EASY install. Less than 1 hour. The 2007 with the tow package and lexus hitch is a class IV rating.

The factory hitch for the GX470 has a Class IV rating.

Default class iv hitch

I just got a 2007 GX470 and purchased the class iv hitch. I do not know if I have the tow prep package, how do I tell? the rear bumper cover does not have a notch in it, would that indicate I do not have the prep package? can anyone post a picture of the hitch mounted on their vehicle?

Do you have your VIN available you could share with us privately? That's the easiest way for us to tell.

Your Black GX (114) is not equipped with the factory tow hitch package according to your VIN.
