Vehicle towing capacity chart - RX 350 Lexus Cars & Trucks

Should tell you on the manufacturers label on the car. On door posts or inside glove box.

depend witch engine

A) Depends on the hitch you have and what it is rated for. Most car hitches (non truck or SUV) have a tounge weight rating of 500 LBS. This is the weight that is put on the actual connection of car and trailer. B) To not kill your transmission, do not exceed a total trailer weight of more than 1/2 the vehicles curb weight. (Dry weight of car full of fuel) Car transmissions and frames were not originally designed for towing, and exceeding 1500 LBS total trailer weight is considered dangerous (can get trailer weave and sway easily) and will cause excessive strain on drive train components. U-Haul has an online guide that will basically tell what type of trailer you can haul and its maximum allowed weight.

A Toyota Tundra can pull the space shuttle but stopping on a down grade is a different story. Towing capacities are base upon stability and pulling and stopping but should never exceed the cars weight. unless electric trailer brakes are used . but again if trailer would jack knife it will push your car into a tree without stopping because weight has overtaken control.

According to the owner's manual, the maximum for towing with the four cylinder is 1500 pounds (V6 is 3500 pounds).

Shouldn't tow with an Auto .... You'll blow the gear box ....

1000 pounds

look on the door jamb of either the driver or passanger

Most smaller cars can tow between 500 and 600kgs unbraked and usually 1000kgs if braked. (trailer has brakes)
