Lx470, 2004 Towing Rating?

[Norboo]

I know I posted on here before but that was a life time ago.

I bought a 24” boat and with trailer total dry weight of 4800LBS. I have the bumper hitch rated at 5000LBS. I read that I cannot use Weight Distribution since the trailer has serge brakes. I plan on buying an after market hitch...

What are my options here?

I can’t believe this big gas sucking SUV is so whippy that much smaller SUV can trailer much higher weight. Just for this reason alone, I will not be buying anothher LX

Page 293 of your owners manual:

The gross vehicle weight must not exceed the Gross

Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) indicated on the

Certification Label. The gross vehicle weight is the

sum weight of the unloaded vehicle, driver,

passengers, luggage, hitch and trailer tongue load.

It also includes the weight of any special equipment

installed on your vehicle.
