Towing A Trailer Behind A Gs450H

[Jeffro5550]

Lexus do not recommend towing behind these cars. Why? They have great power for towing. The gs300 is rated to over 2000lbs.

I have read that the car is not designed for towing. In what way is it different?

Nobody including the lexus customer care people are prepared to give a difinitive answer.

Is the drivetrain inferior?

Are they afraid that the HV battery will see water when launching a towed boat?

What damage do they think will be occasioned to the vehicle if used to tow say a boat with a total load of about 1200kg?

Can anyone give me an answer, I have searched the net and cannot find an answer.

Surely this is not a new question

i think it's due to the chassis itself
