If towing is one of your priorities in a new vehicle, and you’re interested in buying a Lexus, then you’re in luck. There are two Lexus SUVs that can tow pretty hefty loads. See which Lexus SUV is right for you below!

With the LX, you’ll have a max hauling capacity of an impressive 8,000 pounds. Many competitor SUVs can’t come close to hauling this amount, and it’s more than some light-duty pickup trucks can handle. People transporting campers, boats, or a small amount of construction gear will have no problems in the LX.

The LX has Trailer Sway Control to minimize excessive movement. This should keep you feeling more secure while driving, and it should keep the trailer safe from accidentally bumping into things when swaying. Full-time four-wheel-drive gives you more traction to help to tow heavy objects. The LX also has Multi-Terrain Select, letting you optimize your driving mode for taking on snow-covered streets and off-road areas. Being able to optimize your driving mode to tackle tricky roads will help you feel safer on wet, icy roads or on bumpy trails.

If you don’t need 8,000 pounds of hauling capacity, then you might prefer the GX, instead. This model has an available off-road package that adds features such as Crawl Mode and Multi-Terrain Select. However, it’s also an excellent choice for hauling, as it can handle up to 6,500 pounds. That max hauling capacity is very impressive for an SUV.

The GX has Trailer Sway Control as the LX does. It’s also equipped with Multi-Terrain Select to help you tackle tougher trails and wet or icy roads. It has the only standard Four-Wheel-Drive in its class, and its Torsen Limited-Slip Center Differential further enhances traction. The Limited-Slip Center Differential helps balance the power supplied to the front and back wheels, making it well-equipped to handle hauling on bumpy or other difficult surfaces.

Both of these vehicles can haul pretty hefty loads, and they each have features that’ll make you feel more stable while tugging a trailer along. Those who need the absolute maximum capacity for hauling should opt for the LX. However, if you’re going to be hauling cargo along particularly bumpy roads and trails, then the GX may be the best for you.
