Default Kinetic Suspension and Tow Package for 2005

Anyone know for sure if Kinetic suspension is available in conjunction with the tow package on the 05 GX?

Default 6500lb Tow and KDSS

Just to be real clear (as there was a lot of confusion with the '04 model) you can get KDSS with the 6500lb tow capability.

There are 2 "tow" options. One is $50 and is only a prep package (i.e. wired out). The other is the Tow Hitch Receiver pkg for $433. This is the actual receiver mounted, and lights connector and the Ball Slide (without the hitch Ball) that goes in the receiver.

Some of the tow capability information does still seem to be confusing from Lexus. It seems to imply they only claim 6500lb Tow if you get their Tow Hitch/Receiver (i.e. the $433 pkg). Otherwise they spec it (in some places) as 5000lb capable (and you have to go get your own aftermarket receiver/hitch).

I believe the $433 package also includes an oil cooler. That is why it is rated at a higher capacity. Without the oil cooler, it's only rated to 5000lbs.

At least as of '04 9700C build, there was no oil cooler included.
