The 2024 Lexus LX is a large luxury SUV. Underneath its style and appearance, it’s a strong vehicle capable of towing your camper or trailer. When you are looking at towing capacity, be sure to consider some additional factors.

The Lexus LX towing capacity is 8,000 lbs when the SUV gets properly equipped. To visualize 8,000 lbs, picture a small camper or a motorboat on a trailer. You should have a strong hitch to handle all that weight. You can purchase a trailer ball as an accessory, which should be used with a genuine Lexus tow hitch receiver and ball mount. Towing capacity is the maximum weight a vehicle can safely tow. You should practice your driving, turning, and backing up while towing your trailer or camper. This will build your confidence and help reduce the possibility of getting into trouble while on the road.

The LX twin-turbocharged V6 engine delivers 409 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque. This means quick acceleration and maintaining speed, which is important when towing. The 10-speed direct-shift automatic transmission automatically selects the right gear for any situation and smoothly shifts into that gear. The LX has full-time 4-wheel drive. The curb weight is between 5,665 and 5,945 lbs, depending on the trim level. When towing, you should always consider the gross combined weight of the tow vehicle loaded with passengers and cargo and the trailer with cargo in the trailer. The LX can hold up to seven passengers depending on trim level and has 71 cu ft of cargo space if the second and third-row seats are collapsed, dependent on the trim as well.

The Lexus LX is built with a body-on-frame design, which provides an optimal tow rating. The wheelbase is the distance from the front to the rear axle, which is 112.2 inches. The Torsen® limited-slip center differential optimizes traction, and the LX is equipped with a trailer hitch and trailer sway control. Your passengers will enjoy the feeling of luxury that is apparent in its appearance and feel. You can use the panoramic view monitor to assist you in backing up to connect to your trailer or camper and when maneuvering your vehicle once it is connected.

The Lexus LX is an impressive luxury SUV. You should see it in person and take it for a test drive to see why it would be the perfect vehicle to pull your trailer or camper.
