I was driving back from picking up dinner around 7 pm when a deer jumped infront of the truck. I was traveling about 45 mph and just as I went over a hill, the deer jumped onto the road. I hit the brake hard and probably slowed to a good 10-20 mph but still hit the deer with the right front...

What are your thoughts or experiences on Geolandar A/T-S (Yokohama)? My 2009 LC has about 40K miles on the OEMs and ready for a switch. I was fairly happy with the Geolandars on my G500.

I read an article on Bankrate.com on lowest and highest cost to insure vehicles. Volvo XC90 was listed as the least expensive to insure. LC 200 was not in the list (perhaps due to low sampling). My wife traded her 2006 XC90 for a 2009 LC200 and our insurance premium went down. It was a small...

You guys (gals) are super. thank you!

Now that the weather is cooling off, I tried to turn off the AC. When I tap on the AC button, it doesn't turn off. I tried pushing the OFF button, AC button, etc... no luck. I will need to bring it into the dealer soon. I am hoping this is just a simple glitch that can be fixed without bring...

So its not unusual to have it take a little while to engage and disengage the DL. Good to know. thanks

Newbie. I am a speed car junkie but trying to get my feet wet with crawling. I am trying to attend the Seymore event. I am working on that Friday and Sunday. I am planning to attend Saturday event. Does the setup of the event allow for a single day attendance? I am looking for a entry...

I recently engaged the diff lock on my 09 LC. I then could not get it out of the lock mode despite pushing the button while the vehicle was stationary. I ended up driving with the lock mode for a few minutes. It got disengaged after I pushed the diff lock button while the car is moving at a...

I went through the same dilemma. I was looking for a large sized SUV for my wife and the kids (1.5 and 4 y.o.). I wanted a vehicle that is safe, big enough to tow a 5000 + lb boat if in need, reliable, easy to drive and not over the top bling. I test drove just about everything out there...

How do these tires compare to the OEM tires? I'm thinking about keeping the originals

You can use the mechanical key to enter the car but you need to place the keyfob immediately next to the ignition button to start the vehicle (still need to push the ignition button). I do not know of a way to start the vehicle only with the mechanical key.

I just purchased a 2009 LC for my wife last weekend. What are your thoughts on the best all around tire with great snow traction, longevity, wet traction?

With so many carseats, how do you get to the third row? I have guests (with one toddler) coming into town and trying to put all the kids in one vehicle. Accessibility to the third row seems difficult with two carseats on the second row (can't fold the seats forward). Are you putting two...

Yup. You can pull out the seatbelt with quick motion and it will set the lock. You then place the tightener and you are set. The carseat will be very secure. No significant movement (comparable to the latch). I can see your concern. I rented a Yukon when I was out in L.A. last month. The...
