**I loathe the idea of driving a vehicle to signal status to other people; all of the arguments for the 200 made from that perspective fall completely flat to me, so take the following with that in mind**
@drivel111, if you don't off-road, the...
Couple of additional thoughts:
1.) I have recommended the Sequoia based on size but I totally get your preference for the LC, I felt the same way and bought the LC. They are cooler, nicer, more overbuilt etc. If the size & storage space isn’t...
The LC won't fit 2 adults, 2 kids, dog, luggage for humans, dog's stuff, for a 1 week road trip. You'll need stuff on the roof, an external hitch-mounted carrier, or a small trailer to carry all the stuff. I have one kid, and one 85 pound dog...
LOL. Out of date was what I liked. Knobs for radio, HVAC, not a touch screen, etc. Rockers for most everything else. No stop/start, and all other safety features (lane departure, rear X traffic, etc), could be permanently turned off. I am never...
I sold my GX460 for more money than I paid for it after 4 years and 40,000 miles of driving it. Feb 2020 to January 2024.
Also, I've been selling parts that I had stripped off of my F150 before trading it in and I am breaking even on almost...
Sequoia…. And spend the saved cash on a convertible to appease the mid life crisis
As others have mentioned, if you don’t off-road and aren’t a LC cult person, there are far better family hauler options.
Edit: honestly though I love the LX and...
I guess that’s the case. Heck I’ve even seen Civics and Corollas going for prices that reflect almost no depreciation. I suppose my post was more a protest than realistic. Prices are what the market will bear……..
Six years ago the economy and car market was very different, particularly pre-covid. I don't think what someone paid new for it is relevant today. IMO, its a good price considering the current market of similar spec'd LCs.
For the amount of money you're ready to drop, and with a growing family with a not so small dog, I would steer into the newer gen Sequoia. Major reasons is that I think you'll need the room to eventually grow into (LC gets tight with a full...
Interesting piece. Hadn’t seen it before, but enjoyed reading the pride that the engineers have in their product. You don’t see this much by auto manufacturers.
Toyota QDR (Quality, Durability, Reliability). Nice acronym backed by real world...
Yep, been much discussed and pointed out by many of us on this forum. The 250 is a 150 Light Duty Prado follow up and the GX variant the Lexus Prado based sister. It is totally obvious, not a 200 successor and no longer the ultimate King of All...
I just use 3/8" transmission hose with fuel line clamps.
X2 - you can fix this for about $15-20 with transmission cooler hose (not fuel line) and clamps from Advance Auto. I warmed the 3/8" hose ends in boiling water and then dribbled ATF on...
As mentioned early I clamp power steering reservoir hoses that appeared to be leaky. This sometimes stop leaky hoses for years. It's import to work top down stopping leaks. Often time a shop will say you've a leaky rack when that's not the case...
OEM was a little too pricey for me, I think they were close to $100 each at dealer.
Lumpkin Hose Repair in Cumming, GA hooked me up with 5/8 and 3/8 hose for under $10, I'll have to check, but I think it was goodyear.
Not sure if this will help or not, but I had a similar issue. I sold my LX about a year ago, but I had the headlights (bought full plug and play units from Luke111) for a few years before selling. I started having a similar issue after a year...

Hey everyone. Thank you @getco for sharing this guide with us. I was able to get Techstream running on an M2 air. I'm using a generic VCI J2534 cable purchased from Amazon (click on hyperlink).
I was able to get around the "Unable to connect to...
According to TechStream and my Scan Gauge, the TPS appears to be in spec. At idle, TechStream said TPS is 15, Engine off, key on, it says 16. I also took a picture of freeze frame data for code P0120. See attached, I don't know what I'm looking...
I have a 2000 LX470 with about 270k. I replaced the entire throttle body with a NEW OEM unit to fix what I thought was a faulty APPS. I have the same problem and today seems a little worse.
Background: This vehicle is normally garaged and a...
