Hi. I have the same issue with my 05 GX470. Have the "hitch Plate" and the bumper cover. Also plug assembly is under there. I want to get a bolt on receiver hitch for a bike rack. Cannot find one after doing several Google searches. Why is the damn thing there if it cannot be used?

What I am hoping to find is the hitch assembly that looks like the picture. Was this discontinued? On my GX it looks like the slide portion of the hitch assembly was simply unbolted and removed. The main support beams seem to still be behind the bumper as well as the Lexus wiring harnass. Anyone have any ideas if this had issues? Why is this such a mystery? Nothing else (curent factory or aftermarket) has this clean look. Even the current Lexus hitch is large and the beams are visible.

Thanks again for the help, Myk
