Lexus RX350 as Tow vehicle?

Do any of you use a Lexus RX350 FWD as a Toad, tow vehicle ?

I’d so, what year and do you use a dolly?

To the best of my knowledge, all years of the RX350 can only be dolly-towed if FWD and trailered if AWD. You can check any particular year and model on the Remco website, if you like.

I pull a 2000 Lexus RX300 4 down. Pulled it about 50,000 miles now. I have a letter from the local Lexus dealer that says I can tow it 4 down.

I also own a 2004 Lexus RX350 but it is NOT towable 4 down.


I have a receiver hitch on the 2000 Lexus RX300 and pulled a 2,000lb moving trailer about 150 miles, crossing a pretty steep mountain during that trip.

55 was my max speed and the mountain dropped me to about 45mph.
