Hey everyone, im looking at buying an Rx450h and im trying to wrap my head around the towing package.

I want to be able to tow, i understand what is inculded in the package, and I mostly know how to work out if the car has the package - if youre veiwing the car in person.

But being able to tell if a car has the towing package while looking online is so difficult!! Particularly given some have tow balls, and some dont and some tow balls have been applied aftermarket without the package.

Recently i was told by a Lexus employee that the Australian buyers were not offered the towing package when ordering a new RX. He said that the Luxury model cannot tow but the F Sport and Sports Luxury can tow.

So my question Is, was the towing package standard in Aussie F Sports and Sports Luxury's?

      Best Fuel economy and Fuel Brand on RX500H?

      I got a RX500H and uses Mobil98, which could only get about 10L/100KM on City and about 8.5L/100KM Highway.

      Hi all, Long-time gen 2 Prius owner, Melbourne-based… just purchased a 2011 RX450H sports luxury last weekend with nearly 300,000km on the clock 😅 Of course, the very next day it threw a P0A80. Sad trombone. Got it up and running for the time being at least. But I digress… Bit more about me - elec eng grad working in telecommunications, also enjoy playing drums and tinkering with stuff. Nice to be here. Rob

      Driving Light

      Hello Neil, Great to hear from you. With the XBB kit you get the Dongle which plugs into the OBD2 plug, and the Power Unit, which is a Bluetooth relay that goes under the bonnet close to where the Dongle is situated. The kit comes with all the instructions needed. I sourced the 12 volt positive supply direct from the battery, with an inline fuse fitted the next size up to what the driving lights current draw is. Say your lights draw ten amps, then I would fit a fifteen amp fuse to protect the system. By sourcing direct from the battery, you do not get any significant current drop off, as long as your wires are suited to the current draw. I also ran the negative wire to the Power unit from the battery. The wiring was relatively easy but longest part of the exercise. If you have wired in a relay previously, then you will find it an easy task. I will strongly recommend you get and use relay base for the Power unit, it makes it much easier. I hope this helps you out Neil, Regards Peter
