2025 Lexus GX towing capacity

The 2025 Lexus GX is published in 6 configurations, with tow ratings ranging from 7,800 to 9,096 lb depending on cab, bed, drivetrain, and hitch class. The peak figure (9,096 lb) sits in full-size truck and SUV territory.

The table below lists every trim of the 2025 Lexus GX with the engine, drivetrain, axle ratio, horsepower, torque, GVWR, curb weight, and payload that go with that trim's headline tow rating. Manufacturers often publish more than one tow figure per truck — a conventional bumper-hitch rating, a weight-distributing rating, and a gooseneck or fifth-wheel rating — so the highest number here is the maximum across all hitch classes the source carries for the trim.

Per-trim breakdown

How to interpret the headline tow figure

Tow ratings at this level are normally achievable with a conventional Class II or Class III receiver hitch. Always verify your vehicle has the manufacturer's tow package installed if you intend to tow at the upper end of the rating, and inspect the door-jamb sticker for the actual maximum permitted on your specific configuration.

How this year compares to 2024

The 2024 Lexus GX carried a maximum tow rating of 8,000 lb. The 2025 model adds 1,096 lb on top of that — usually a sign the manufacturer added a tow package option, refreshed the powertrain, or revised hitch class certification. See the 2024 Lexus GX page for the full per-trim breakdown of the prior year.
