Racks for your lexus gx460 and gx470
Lexus GX models in many ways are a blend between Land Cruisers and 4Runners, made specific for the US market. 2003-2009 is based on the Prado 120 series platform, and in the US is considered the Lexus GX470. And 2010-present years are based on the Prado 150, named GX460 for the US market. We are pleased to offer an original Gamiviti roof rack for each of them.
The racks are not the same. The older GX470 roof is a little bit narrower, so we make the 470 racks 48” wide, while the 460 racks are 49” wide.. also the tower spacing is different; it’s close, but not the same. What that means is yes, you could technically put one rack onto the other, but you may need a drill to get the towers to bolt to the rack. The actual towers are the same though, same as the 200 series, and both racks can accept all of the other rack features and accessories also. Please be sure to specify which model you have when inquiring, so we are sure to match your rack to your vehicle.
Like every Gamiviti rack, all racks allow for full function of the factory sunroof, rear door, and rear hatch. Grid floors, drop baskets, sunroof openings & sunroof grids are also an option. And of course all of the other Gamiviti accessories will bolt up also, including custom fairings, lights, and awning attachments. The images below should give you an idea of what is possible, and a good preview of how this will look on your GX.
Two ways to order
Option 1, Essential Expo Rack for the GX460: new for 2021, we’ve made all of the tough decisions for you and narrowed this down to the one version which has become the most useful, most popular, and best looking configuration for the GX460. In Gamiviti lingo that is the Expo++ running down, tapered with side gussets, 3 plates/towers per side, with sunroof opening and traditional shape fairing. This is a great selection if you would rather not take the time to learn all of the various options, the language, and instead trust our judgement on options to give you all that you need, and none that you don’t, in other words just the essentials.
Additionally we are now stocking these racks, so the configuration below may already be in stock, or they’re in process, making it also the fastest rack option, just click the Add to Cart button to get started.

Essential Expo Rack video
Watch this video to see more detail about everything that is included in an Essential Expo rack for the GX460. The video is taken using a 200 series Land Cruiser, but the rack features are essentially the same the only notable difference is the Land Cruiser receives an additional plate per side, to mate with the 4 tower positions per side. The GX models do not have this option, and the racks use 3 towers per side.
