I have been towing this boat and trailer combo for a couple of years now. I Towed it with our old 2009 Lexus LX570, with a Ford F250, a 2021 GMC Sierra AT4, and now with a 2017 Lexus LX570. People look at me funny sometimes when they see me casually backing it into the water at the boat ramp. They get their cameras out waiting for a QualifiedCaptain moment. But to their disappointment, the LX570 does great, even with a large boat and trailer combo like this.

In this video I just do a short 3 mile drive from the storage facility to my house with the boat in tow, and share some preliminary thoughts on how it did.

A 3/4 ton or 1 ton diesel truck definitely has a leg up on the LX570 and does better. But when it comes to any 1/2 ton truck or large SUV, the LX570 is by far the most capable towing vehicle I have come across in the last 10yrs. Nothing else has come close.

I will do a more comprehensive towing review later on along with real world MPG, more in depth notes and hints on usage of AHC while towing, and best practices while towing with the LX570.
