The Lexus SUV with the highest towing capacity is the rugged Lexus GX. Thanks to its robust body-on-frame chassis and muscular V6 performance, select GX models are rated to tow up to an impressive 9,096 pounds!
No! While all-wheel drive is certainly a useful feature that can boost traction in slippery situations such as off-road exploration or a boat launch ramp – front-wheel drive and rear-wheel drive Lexus models are still able to tow with confidence.
The maximum towing capacity of the Lexus RX is currently 3,500 pounds. This means that, depending on the size and type of camper, it may be possible to tow your camper with a Lexus RX. Given the maximum rating, a small camping trailer is probably the smartest choice for towing with an RX.
