2025 Lexus GX Towing Capacity: How Much Can a Lexus GX Tow?

Discerning Broken Arrow drivers understand that despite its handsomely sculpted exterior and sumptuously luxurious interior, the 2025 Lexus GX is a sport utility vehicle that is capable of powerful feats. One of these is its ability to tow thousands of pounds with ease despite not being a workhorse or heavy-duty pickup. Check out this overview of the towing capacity of the Lexus GX, and learn how much a Lexus GX can tow in 2025.  

2025 Lexus GX Towing: Construction & Engine

Two factors contribute heavily to the Lexus GX towing prowess: its construction and its torque-heavy engine. First, like many SUVs, the 2025 Lexus GX has been constructed using a body-on-frame construction method. This means that the body of the vehicle and its frame or chassis are fabricated separately and then joined together. This enables the stronger, more rigid frame to take the majority of the load when towing, allowing Owasso drivers to confidently haul larger loads than unibody construction would allow. 

Second, the Lexus GX towing abilities are buoyed by its 3.4L twin-turbo V6 engine. It is paired with a 10-speed direct-shift automatic transmission, has full-time 4WD, and can output up to 349 hp. Importantly, this engine generates up to 479 lb-ft of torque, which directly impacts how much “work” an engine can perform. Both of these factors come together to produce a Lexus that can tow substantial amounts of weight.
