There is much more to it than tow weight! The salesman was smoking some really good stuff that day! LOL I bet one trip down the road with a larger heavier trailer in the lexus and you will be wanting to run him over! :)
Honestly, I would not look at anything larger than what I posted for that type of tow vehicle. One, its an SUV, and not really designed to tow a large trailer, two, it has a short wheelbase, and trust me on this, you don't want to be towing a long box on the interstate with a short wheelbase SUV. I used to tow my 18' long horse trailer with a 97 Ford Explorer, which I believe has a pretty similar wheelbase to the Lexus. Every time a truck went by, it would push and pull the rig. It got old after a while. The one I listed is much lighter than my horse trailer, and I think is a perfect match for what you have.
