Per Toyota: Up to 3,500 pounds of towing capacity available to you when this vehicle is properly equipped, across all of the different RX 350 trim levels.
So why not tow? Maybe not the same class as a high luxury Lexus, but I’ve towed with an olds, park ave, riviera,etc. with no problems. Maybe the Lexus transmissions, engines, and drive trains are much different from their Toyota cousins.
What? An RX350h owner wouldn’t own a jet ski? Or a utility trailer for trips to the gardening center? Or a kayak trailer with 2 to 4 boats? Or a hitch mounted bike rack?
Sooo all RX350 owners only have 5th wheel, goose neck trailers, haul race cars or horse trailers???
Very interesting, never new that, thanks for letting us know that…
The factory hitch is less obtrusive than some of the aftermarket one’s out there. If i’d talked my dad into a RX350H he’d have a hitch on it for a max 1,500lb utility trailer he uses about once a month instead of a pickup truck. Suspect more of the buyers who need to tow something would move up in the lineup to a GX or LX.
I actually thoughthathey would hide the trailer hitch.
Or Expedition had a cover over the hitch.
I unbolted theavy hitch from the frame and gave ito someone who could use it.
RX350 is too small to haul anything that contains a bathroom.
Rich people wantrailers with bathrooms, air conditioning, microwave ovens, large screen TVs and high-speed internet.
