We just sold the Volvo and purchased a year-old RX 300. Had a hitch installed (3rd party - much less than dealer). We plan to tow our small 15 foot flats skiff quite a bit - the Everglades, Georgia Coast, Carolina Low Country, Tennessee River, etc. The boat, trailer and engine weigh in at about 1200 pounds.
The question: Do we need to do anything special to the vehicle? E.g., transmission fluid cooler, beefed up suspension...? Or just go.

We have owned a 2003 RX 300 for about a month - so far, so good. Runs very quietly, handles more like a car than a truck (or big SUV), fits and finish are very good, controls and gages are well positioned, good visability all around.
We got it to tow a small boat, a task which it handles very well.
Big reasons are of course, Lexus' legendary customer service and the brand's reputation for quality.
As I said, so far, so good. Ask again in 3 years...
