Hi, I'm new to the site but not to RV'ing

I'm looking for information on whether or not I can flat tow my 2003 Lexus ES300.

Thanks,
Don

According to Remco, the Lexus is not towable four down and no lube pump is available. May be dolly time.

Very few Toyota's are towable 4-down it any. having towed 4-down and with a dolly, I'd go back with a dolly.

Odd - the Remco site says no lube pump is available for the 2003 ES 300. There are several transmissions available for the ES300 and some are towable with a lube pump, but supposedly the 2003 and later all have the 5 speed and Remco says they have no pump for it.

You might want to identify the specific tranny in yours and call Remo direct to see what they say.

I will contact Remco. My 03 does have the 5 speed automatic.
