Car Carrier Loading And Transporting - Lexus RX400h Towing And Road Service Manual

CAR CARRIER LOADING AND TRANSPORTING:

The use of car carrier equipment is the preferred method of transporting the new Lexus
RX400h vehicles.
CAUTION: The curb weight for the Lexus RX400h 4,365lbs for the All Wheel
Drive version. If fully loaded, the gross vehicle weight may be near 5,520lbs
The Lexus RX400h has adequate ground clearance at front and rear to permit loading
onto a conventional car carrier without additional ramping in normal circumstances.
However, clearance at the trailing end of the vehicle should always be monitored as it is
loaded.
The towing eyebolt should be used for front loading of the RX400h. The eyebolt is
located in the tool kit located in the center under the floor in the rear cargo area. (See
Figure 1)
Figure 1
If the towing eyebolt is missing or otherwise inaccessible, the tie-down slots on the
undercarriage can be used to load the vehicle.
