I’ve had it for 13 years now but If I didn’t off road regularly there is no way I’d own/drive my LX570. It’s big, clumsy, terrible mpg, …. There are countless way better on road vehicles.
Within 10 minutes of posting this thread earlier today, I hit the road and drove 3.5 hours to purchase my new (to me) 2008 LX 570 :wootwoot: 132k miles and got a great deal at $19k even. Reading all of your replies now is reassuring me I made...
I would get your suspension checked out. And comfort mode my 2013 LX is smooth as butter. I can run 45 to 50 miles an hour on the Dalton Highway with washboard the size of motocross whoops and pot holes the size of mini coopers and it is at least...
Clearly God is telling you to go back to an LX. MPG’s be damned. I have just learned to accept they suck in the city and rest in knowing I am driving one of the best built tanks ever made. My brother got nailed in his 2022 LC by a 30 foot box...
I was in your same boat last year. After spending no joke three months test driving every SUV from $30k up to the new GX, my wife said those fateful words “I don’t care, just buy something”. I figured if I’m spending around $50k for a new rig...
Best to forget the words "gas mileage" if you daily a LC/LX in the city.
That being said you should get back in an LX if that's what the heart wants. You tried the downsize experiment and obviously it didn't scratch the itch.
I think you want to hear Just do it! Make sure you fluid film or wool wax. We don’t want your “surface rust” 200 used to end up in the south.
Test drive gx. Might like it.
You are trying too hard to justify the purchase...if you appreciate the LX/LC200 go ahead and buy it. Lots of people buy performance cars and they never hit the track , lots of people buy Minivans and Highlanders and are not hauling large...
I have a 2013 LC and live in Chicago.
Pluses include: handles the potholes better than a car because of so much tire sidewall, not unreasonable to parallel park because it’s a mid-sized SUV length.
Cons include: parking garages can be an...
Meant to add that my ex said I can take the RX anytime if I need to go out of town etc. So maybe I just get a LX ES/LS and call it a day? I haven't had a low sitting sedan in over 20 years. Been driving FJ62, FJ80 and LX 470 for the last 20...
Hey folks! Long time lurker, minimal poster here. I just traded my most recent LX 470 for an RX 350 and instantly regretted it. I miss sitting up high and the great visibility of the larger LXs. Soooo, I'm now shopping for another LX... already...
If you're looking for an LX specifically, you'll find far fewer benefits to holding out for a 13+ because I believe the earlier ones already had a front camera, cooled seats, etc. The Land Cruiser however received many updates in 2013 that...
I’m in a 3008 and it’s been amazing, despite being a super heavy rig on 35’s.
Find one with good servicing records and as low miles as you can afford and go for it.
If over 100k miles, look for previously replaced radiator, water pump, starter...
I haven't been very active on Mud lately, but I just got back from a week long fly fishing, off-roading and camping trip in my truck and it just got me thinking about how much I am still in love with this truck. I thought I would share some...
