Anyone tow with an FX?

Was it a common option on just the FX45? Can the FX35 tow as well, or is it just not even an option ...

I'm looking to trade a silver G35 Coupe that I've owned for 6 years, 53k on it

even a a honda CRV can tow 1500 lbs, so there's a lower limit for you. The trans could probably pull 2500-3500 lbs easy. But, I would put a secondary trans cooler on the FX if I was going to do any distance towing.

Yup, I bet the FX45 had that cooler with the tow package

You guys ever see FX owners trade in for a G coupe?

You can get a hitch from the Dealer.
The maximum towing capacity is 3,500 lbs for both the FX35/45/50.

Check out some of the FX forums - FX35 definitely does tow fine. Got a friend that tows a boat every weekend - no problems.

the SRT8 can tow??? with those huge exhaust tips, how is it possible lol

dang shame that all the cool trucks like the FX, Cayenne, Typhoon, SRT8, are always limited to mostly on road use.. defeats the purpose of a real suv

^Idk what your talking about. The Cayenne is a pretty good off-roader. It can tow too! That car is the jack of all trades.
