A 2011 Lexus RX can typically tow up to 2,000 pounds with a tongue weight of 200 pounds. It is equipped with a 3.5 liter V6 engine that generates 275 horsepower and 257 lb.-ft. of torque at 4700 rpm. The SUV has a payload capacity ranging from 1155 to 1200 pounds. For towing heavier loads, the Lexus is supported by a 6-speed automatic transmission. The towing kit is not pre-installed at the factory, but it can be added at the dealership along with the necessary wiring. Additionally, considering an aftermarket transmission cooler could help maintain the transmission's performance and prevent overheating when exerting extra power to haul heavy loads.
