As others have said, the LS is a big car and towing up to 2000 lbs is not an issue. I have a 4x8 folding utility trailer I use to tow large stuff and it works great. You can barely tell the thing is back there. The only problem I have is that it scrapes the ground sometimes when going up my driveway. Not sure how your car will handle with the drop but I would say watch out with steep transitions.

I towed a 4' by 8' trailer countless times with the 90 LS400 I used to have. Even the gen 1 LS400 was so powerful it made towing the trailer effortless.
And yes, steveski, I once towed the trailer loaded to its maximum capacity with bricks bought to build a patio.
The LS400 without a transmission cooler is rated to tow up to 2,000 pounds. With a transmission cooler, the towing weight maximum is over 4,000 pounds.
Lexus publishes this information in the owners manuals for cars sold outside the U.S. but omits it from U.S. manuals.

Take a look under your car to see if you have the same bolt pattern.
