How is the towing experience in the Land Cruiser 250?

I haven't considered an ECU tune for my LC250. But I know they are starting to be released. And I know the NA V6 platform owners raved about them being best dollar for performance mod they did. What's out there for the 250 series? And has anyone done it yet? I'm curious how well it does, how noticeable performance increases, and if there's any issues etc... This is my first brand new vehicle. And I've heard ECU tunes can be a cause for Toyota to deny powertrain warranty/replacement. So far I've found 2 options but neither seems to have dyne results or good info. -Yotawerx (found on the Marlin Crawler site but can't find it on their own page) https://www.marlincrawler.com/product/yotawerx-ecu-tune-for-2024-land-cruiser-250 -Overland Tailor Tunes (no dyne results/little info) https://overlandtailor.com/services-2-2/ Share your thoughts below!

We've all heard or experienced what the NA V6 was like towing despite the rating. (It struggled to say the least) But now we have a 4cyl that boasts horsepower & torque.

I'm curious how the 2024+ Land Cruiser 250 handles towing in the real world. Toyota says it’s rated for 6,000lbs, but I’d love to hear from people actually hauling trailers, boats, campers, etc.

Any issues with the hybrid drivetrain when towing?
