    Have a 2013 RX350 that came with the factory tow package. I understand these are rated for a Max of 3500lbs tow capacity. This is probably a stupid question but wanted to know what it would take to get it to safely tow 6500 to 7000lbs (boat weights 5300 but adding trailer, fuel etc)? Upgraded brakes? I think the engine can handle it not sure if transmission can. Just curious if something like this could be done? If it costs $5-10k in upgrades no biggie sure beats buying another tow vehicle.. Anyone ever hear of such a thing?

    Be very thorough on towing a big boat with anything except a heavy pickup. I have a 2006 GX470 that I use for pulling my 4k lb boat and it does fine except on steep and slick (wet) ramps where the tires will spin occasionally. The RX is much lighter than the GX but I have seen many people need a tow to get the vehicle and boat out of the ramp.

    try this if it is the reminder light to change your oil and stuff.

    1. With your car OFF, place your key in the ignition and turn to "On". Do not start the car.

    2. Find the odometer button and press until it reads the total odometer setting, (not the Trip A or Trip B setting).

    3. Turn the key to OFF.

    4. Place your finger back on the odometer button, press and hold. Then while still holding the button, turn the key back to "On" (not START).

    5. Hold the odometer button in until the MAINT REQD light goes out...should take about 8-10 seconds.

    Good luck, it is pretty much the industry standard of resetting this reminder light.
