I have a 2019 LX. I have no other reference point as this is the only 200 series I’ve ever owned. I bought in 2022…not a great deal, but the offset was a stupidly high trade in value on my BMW. I picked a 200 series because of the MUD forums and have zero regrets. The best truck I’ve ever owned...

I have a 2500 GMC diesel. Great for hauling my boat, and anything else I need to carry. It used to be my daily. I bought a CPO 2019 LX three years ago and never looked back. It’s the best truck/car I have ever owned. I put 70K on it so far, and it’s bank-vault tight at 100K. One of the...

I have a 2019 LX…it’s a great truck. I had a water pump go at 70,000…which I thought was early, but otherwise, pretty good. I agree that any alternative to it may offer more tech, or better performance - even better gas mileage. None offer this overall build quality, or, all weather and off...

I bought a certified 2019 LX with 26000 on the clock four years ago, now I’ve got 82k on it. It’s the best truck…or car for that matter I’ve ever owned. Great choice !

Congrats! I would love to hear the scouting report on your impressions when you get a chance.

In the forties, I have marginally broke into twenty

I have a 2019 LX…love it! However, at 80k I’d say the LC is just breaking in…plus the Lexus with AHC will require some additional maintenance. I love the ride and flexibility of it, but went into it with my eyes wide open. Great choices either way. I think the 200 series will always be desirable.

Agree 100%!

AHC is an option on the Luxury and sport, but they are not shipped without it “added” from the factory.

I rented the Infinity version in Utah a couple of years ago. It’s not to the same standard as my LX but way better than a Tahoe/Yukon. Also I have a Nissan work van in my office truck fleet. The engine is VERY strong. We’ve put over 120k on it always loaded to max GVW and it’s perfect. I...

I have a 19 LXwith the base sound system. To me it sounds fine. Often, I spend more time on the phone talking (work). I get so tired of hearing my own voice, I may drive for quite some time before I even notice there is no music! I don’t have a reference point for ML versus my base stereo, but...

Spot on!

The standard suspension on the base model is straight steel springs and shocks, running on 20‘s instead of 22’s. The Premium, F Sport and Luxury have standard adaptive suspension, I.e. variable shock settings, comfort, sport, etc. Only the F Sport and Luxury can be ordered with the Active...

As rare as hen’s teeth…I am holding out a while longer. From what I can see, about 1 in 100. I like the concept of the base. However, it doesn’t appear to be a “real” model here in the States. I have an LX 570, and really like the hydraulic suspension. since you have to bypass the Premium...
