I had a 2008 400h SR for 5 years and towed a 1700kg caravan with no problems. 28 to 32 mpg not towing and 18 to 20 when towing.
Thanks that is great to know

Hi Matthew,
Interestingly I am actually selling my 2004 Lexus RX300 (L300 BCN is the plate). I am based in Glasgow but thought I'd mention it as you said you were looking 🙂
Thanks Glasgow is a bit far but have sent you a PM with some questions.

Thanks yes it would be braked, good to know. Finding one already with a towbar is tough though as it looks like quite a expensive proposition to fit one if not.

Oh I was under the impression it could tow 2000kg (https://www.parkers.co.uk/lexus/rx/estate-2003/30-se-5d-auto/specs/), the Kia can do 1600KG but wanting to buy a heavier 1534kg MPLW van to replace my 1100KG one so will need a bigger car the Sportage won't do it and the nosewight will exceed the permitted.
If Parkers is wrong please let me know as I will have to go back to the drawing board it is a very short list of options as I do not want a diesel.
Thanks,
Matthew

Hi all,
I am a newbie looking to buy a RX300/400H for towing a caravan, I am looking to upgrade my existing caravan and Kia Sportage for a bigger caravan and RX. Any advice on purchasing a good example greatly appreciated.
I am also a well established contributor on the Renault (12 yrs), Volvo (8 yrs) and Kia (3 yrs) forums.

Hi,
I am new to the forum looking to purchase a RX300 or 400H to tow a caravan with to replace my Kia Sportage so that I can tow a larger van. Is there anything that I need to look out for.
I have decided to avoid the SE-L air suspension models is there any other key concerns/issues or just the usual seek FSH and the 100K cambelt change.
Thanks,
Matthew

Hi all,
New to the forum and looking for a RX300/400H for towing.
Would like FSH or as close to it, ideally a towbar but not a big deal if not. Ideally not the SE-L because towbars for this are different and difficult to fine apparentely.
As low mileage as possible but less than 130K miles max.
Willing to travel for the right one, but ones closer to Nottingham will be considered first.
I have a 2010 Kia Sportage 2.0 petrol 4WD to sell if anyone is interested.
Thanks,
Matthew
