Can Draw-Tite Hitch on 2016 Lexus GX 460 Tow More Than 6,000 LBS?
Question:
Will a Draw-Tite #75685 Trailer Hitch Receiver-Custom Fit-Class III-2inch be enough to tow a 4,000 lb. dry-weight Malibu 25 ft. Wakesetter boat includes trailer weight? With a full tank of gas and equipment, it would weight 5,000-5,500 lbs. plus people inside the SUV at 700 lbs taking it to 6,200 lbs.? If I read it right, the Class III only has a 5,000 lb. towing capacity? If the Class III isnt good enough, would a Class IV with a weight distribution hitch be good enough? Could a Class IV be installed on a 2016 GX460 Lexus? The GX 460 has a towing capacity of 6,500 lbs.

Helpful Expert Reply:
The Draw-Tite # 75685 and Curt # C13043 each have maximum towing capacities of 5,000 lbs even when used with a weight distribution hitch. The pair of Class III hitches are the only ones that are a confirmed fit for the 2016 Lexus GX 460; there is not a Class IV hitch available.
