OK,

beat me if I'm wrong,

but our new to us 2001 IS300 has a 3L rear wheel drive powertrain

That has potential

and we have no way to

TOW our jet ski's to the river.

Nice ride, cruise control, 55mph

So, I'm thinking tranny cooler and a small hitch

??? ??? ???

Lol I don't think anybody will recommend doing it but if you do I wouldn't tow much more than a jet ski and make sure your brakes are up to par and also that trans cooler you mentioned. Good luck and take pics lol.
