What Are the Engine Specifications and Towing Capacity of the 2026 Lexus GX 550?
One powertrain serves the entire lineup. Lexus pairs a 3.4-liter twin-turbo V6 producing 349 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque with a 10-speed Direct Shift automatic transmission. Full-time four-wheel drive with a Torsen limited-slip locking center differential is standard on every grade, and the engine takes premium unleaded fuel.
Maximum towing reaches 9,096 pounds on the GX 550 Overtrail. The GX 550 Premium, Premium+ and Overtrail+ tow up to 9,063 pounds, in each case with the standard tow hitch receiver. The Luxury grades are rated lower. Kelley Blue Book lists 8,020 pounds for the GX 550 Luxury and 7,800 pounds for the GX 550 Luxury+. Buyers shopping the top of the range to tow should weigh that gap carefully. Our guide to 2026 Lexus GX towing capacity goes further into how those ratings are reached.

What Seating Configurations Are Offered in the 2026 Lexus GX 550?
The GX 550 Premium, Premium+, Luxury and Luxury+ are seven-passenger vehicles. A second-row 60/40 split-folding bench is offered on the Premium+, Luxury and Luxury+. Second-row captain’s chairs are available in place of the bench, which reduces capacity to six. The third row comes in power and manual configurations.
The GX 550 Overtrail and GX 550 Overtrail+ are five-passenger, two-row vehicles. Removing the third row opens up the rear cargo floor for gear, camping equipment and recreation loads. That is the trade these two grades are built around. Need three rows? Many shoppers compare the 2026 Lexus GX and Lexus TX before deciding.
