The 2007 Lexus RX can tow up to 3,500 pounds, with a tongue weight of 350 pounds and torque of 251 lbs.-ft. @ 4,700 rpm. Its payload capacity varies from 1,155 to 1,395 pounds. The tongue weight typically ranges from 10-15 percent of the gross trailer weight (GTW) if you need to calculate it. It's important to note that payload and towing capacity are different: payload refers to the maximum cargo weight inside the vehicle, while towing capacity is the maximum weight it can tow when factoring in the cargo and vehicle weight. The relationship between payload and towing capacity is inversely related, meaning if the payload is greater, the towing capacity will be slightly reduced, and vice versa. Remember this relationship when loading your vehicle to ensure optimal performance.
