Default Trailering Advice

Hello all.

I purchased an LX 570 a few months ago, coming from a ram 1500. I absolutely love this vehicle and wanted to get this before the new one came out.

I have a jet boat that has about a 30 foot trailer with a dry weight of 5340 pounds. I would say with fluids and other things, it’s upwards of 6000 pounds to play it safe.

Based on the towing capacity of 7000 pounds and what others have said, it seems I should have no problem pulling this trailer.

The questions I have are as follows:

1. What mode should I drive in the while I am trailering?

2. The suspension should be in normal, correct? I don’t think you can drive in any other height as it automatically goes into normal?

3. When hooking up the trailer, I assume it is safe to put the height in low mode?

Any other advice would be welcome.

Thank you so much.
