I towed that amount last week over a pass... mileage was like 12 or 13 MPG but I was heavy on pedal too. Lots of additional wind drag on trailer I was pulling as well.

I tow a 20' enclosed trailer with a race car inside of it on a regular basis and the GX does great!
Just bought 2014 GX with factory hitch. If you have factory hitch they put a 6 in long cable in the glove box, which is a Toyota cable that pugs into your wiring under the dash {wiring for lights}.....on drivers side...which can then be wired to a controller, I had a P3 in my Tundra and kept it to reinstall. The connector is for Toyota./Lexus only. If you don't have the cable it is under $10...can buy at dealership, Amazon etc.
I tow a travel trailer (camper) that weighs about 3600lbs with my 2012 GX 460. It has gone pretty well. Anyone install a transmission cooler to their Lexus, or any other parts for towing (other than tow hitch and trailer brake)? Thanks.

The GX has a transmission cooler straight from the factory.
Thanks for the quick response. I see the trans cooler on the diagram. It looks small. Do you think an additional trans cooler, installed in front of the radiator, would be helpful? I was parking my trailer at a camp site this past summer and got a warning on the screen behind the steering wheel that my transmission fluid was getting dangerously hot. I parked the camper, then let the Lexus cool off. I took it to the dealership and had them change the transmission fluid. I'm just worried about a future overheating transmission. Thanks for the help.
Thanks for the quick response. Looks like that trans cooler would help the engine, especially if I am towing in hot weather. Do you think I should get that installed at a Lexus/Toyota place, or could most repair places do that kind of work? I appreciate the advice.
