Hello Club, Just landed a terrific '03 with 40 some thousand miles on it. Super clean. Lexus pre-owned with 3 year / 100K warranty. I'm still on a high driving it. The night vision is cool but I don't really see it saving me from a run in with a deer. Traded a '98 Land Cruiser which never gave me a stitch of problems but it was getting a little long in the tooth. What a cool truck the LX is!! So I need a trailer hitch for the 470. I haven't called parts yet. When I was at the dealer two people told me that it would be $750 to get a trailer hitch. Come on. All I need is the little bracket that bolts onto the existing towing structure that is on every '03 (under that little plastic cover). So just on the long shot that someone in the club has one sitting around I'm putting out the word that there is a good home for one if you are ready to part with it. Please contact me if you can help out and lets see if we can come to a fair price. I should add that it is my understanding that every '03 owner received the bolt on hitch with their new car purchase and that it was up to them if they wanted to leave the plastic cover on the bumper or take it off and bolt in the trailer reciever. Please let me know if this is fact or fiction. If that is the case I would guess that there are dozens of these little guys sitting in garages looking for a home. The other question is... the window sticker that I found in the owner manual says that there is Lexus Link in the car. I have not come across it. Is there a button or something that would tell me if the car has it? Update, I just learned that there is a control pannel for Lexus Link and that my car does not have it. It's a pay service and I have a cell phone so that's one feature I can live without. Thanks so much Jim
