I have the E350. Maybe someone knows the answer to this. These are things my husband always took care of so I'm learning a lot more than I ever planned on now that he is gone. I'm determined not to make a move until I can put all the info together. I really appreciate all your input!
What year is your Lexus?
I hope that you can find what you need in here:
Thanks for all your replies. Looks like I have a good bit of research work to do. I previously towed an '09 Honda CRV but sold it and my other motorhome a few years ago. Things have changed considerably as far as tow vehicles since then. The last year Honda gave its blessing on towing the CRV was 2014 model. I was told recently that all Chevys were towable and told by a car salesman the Chevy Traverse 4WD was towable. Confusing! I will check out the Motorhome web page towing guide.
Eight years ago I bought a 2004 CR-V. When we bought our class C and started RVing we added everything to the CR-V to tow it. We're still dragging it around the country, now behind our Axis. New Honda HR-V and Honda Fit can be ordered with a six speed manual transmission and flat towed. Have you considered a used CR-V since you had one before? I have two of them; both 2004. One has been subjected to a young driver and is still going strong after 7 years of his driving. Will he ever finish college??????

Yes, I have thought of a used CRV and that may be what I end up with since I am familiar with it. After I sold my CRV and RV, I bought a 2015 Nissan Rogue and really like it, but now towable and whatever I tow has to be my main car also. Good luck on the furure college graduation!!
I'm just back from a month in Ruidoso in my '15 THOR Chateau 26' Class C first trip out with no tow car. Rented a car but found that not satisfactory. I need advice on what is available for easy towing 4 wheels on the ground. Thank you!!
2010 Chevy HHR. Its an automatic, only requirements are shift to N, dont exceed 65mph, and pull one fuse. I installed a switch for the fuse. So I push a button. Love it, easy peasy. I chose front end cost and set up to flat tow. Literally can hook up and unhook in less than 15 min by myself.

We tow a 2014 Fiat 500L. Great little car for touring. It has lots of windows and good backseat space for another couple and a hatch in the back for storing your shopping. Also, gets good MPG on a 13 gallon tank.
(manual transmission only).

Same with my CR-V. It took a few trips before I learned about the fuse switch. It's a life saver. I really got tired of wiggling under the steering wheel to get to the fuse. What a pain. Hooking up and unhooking now really goes fast. While DW goes through the gears I do the hookup/unhook. She has timed it to 2 minutes flat a couple of times.
