Hi and welcome to the Practical Caravan forum.
If you ask on the Towcars message board you will receive more replies, I know of at least one forum member who tows with a Lexus but I'm not sure which one

I have been towing an 1800kg caravan with an RX400h for a couple of years now. As far as fuel consumption is concerned, one does not benefit from the advantages of hybrid drive when towing, only when solo. It is a very nice and, for its size and weight, an economical car to drive solo, but relatively thirsty when towing. A minor criticism that I have is that the steering is a bit torque sensitive. When accelerating heavily under load, the car tends to pull to one side and you need to steer against it. Otherwise, it's a great car and very reliable.
Hi fatgit welcome to the practical caravan forum sounds like a great towcar you are thinking off hope to see more of your posts in the future you should get a answer on here to your question...
