Towing behind an RV
2005 SC430, pearl white with saddle leather. Any info on towing behind an RV - all wheels up or two down or all four down?

You can't tow with the rear wheels on the road. If you put the back wheels on a dolly I would worry the front would get scraped on the road. Honestly the only good way is up on a flatbed trailer.

If I recall, the factor to consider in towing with the rear wheels of a rear wheel drive automatic on the ground is whether the tranny has a rear pump - that is, a pump driven by the tailshaft when the driveshaft is spinning but the engine is off. If it doesn't the rotating parts won't get proper lubrication.
Unfortunately I don't know if the Lexus trannies do. Coleroad, is that why you say it shouldn't be done?
