Hello forum, My spouses LX470 (just a a LC with some fancy trim) seems to pulsate slightly at freeway speeds... an up and down seen on the tach of 100 RPM or less at 70MPH. It does this with or without cruise control, and seems to run fine otherwise. Newer Michelin tires, clean air filter...

The fuel economy appears about the same, as the top gear is the same (or so I'm told). The thing shifts way to much - a slight up or down depending on grade. Personally, I think the shifts are soft, but it may be in part due to the small jump in gears compared to the 6 speed. Personally, I like...

Has anyone found an alternative to the very soft (and rather long in travel) brake pedal on the 200 Series 'cruisers? My 2017 is very soft, as was my 2010... The Toyota service department says its normal for this model vehicle, due to the "luxury feel" the engineers were after. Personally, I'd...

I have not towed with either the Lexus or the Toyota. If the tow ratings changed, that might support your theory, though. As stated previously in this very thread, the LC is not a real tow vehicle - the wheel base is too short. If really towing, a full size pick-up or Suburban (or my fav, the...

Here's my scoop... the 8 speed is actually not as good as the older 6 speed. I had the 6 speed trans in a 2010 LX570, and it seemed about right for just about everything. My 2017 LC with the 8 speed has not (in my experience) increased acceleration nor gas mileage. What it does do, is seem to...

i personally like the Toyota PPF sttyle. The coverage is not as good as some of the "aftermarkets" but it is durable and at least in my limitted experience, fits flawlessly. Don't wax it though....

.2 and .9 ? You really have it down to a science. Based on what you posted, the 40 p.s.i. is not far from appropriate. I've owned an LX570, an LX470, a Raptor, and an H1 (civilian) Hummer, and never really felt the need to stray from the recommended tire pressure... until this Land Cruiser. You...

You make a good argument. Perhaps there is room for compromise at 35 p.s.i. I have to say the vehicle seems to corner and brake better *(that is for a Land Cruiser) with a little more air than recommended. Thanks so much for the replies.

You must be one of those dealership hillbillies I spoke of....

I recently took possession of a 2017 LC, with Dunlop AT23 tires. Despite the door placard indicating 33 p.s.i. front and rear, the vehicle came with 40 p.s.i. in the front, and 38 p.s.i. in the rear. My first thought was you #$%% hillbillies at the dealership (we've had a few other issues)...
