According to the brochure it’s an option that can be had on the premium and luxury models 🤷🏻‍♂️ But who knows until we see it in person

Looking at the brochure looks like you can get an appearance package with all the chrome replaced with black chrome and 18” rims. Could it look like this???

Used LX’s are cheaper than land cruisers lol. You spent a bunch of money on an expensive land cruiser so you must be rich too plus you have cars that stop traffic that’s cool. LX’s don’t do that. I would hardly call a land cruiser plain. If you want to call a 90,000 suv a plain. In fact most...

I have owned a 2013 land cruiser and currently own a 2018 LX570. Personally I liked the land cruiser looks way better. But my wife wanted an LX570 so I got her one. I will say we get like 10 times more compliments on the LX than the land cruiser ever got. That’s just our experience. Maybe...

When I bought my LX brand new it comes with the connector, the brake controller harness, and a hitch and ball. None of these were installed they have some pig tales that are just plug and play. I bet whoever bought the SUV originally never installed it and just lost the connector. After 5 years...

I just attached the mounting bracket to my aluminum propane cover.

that’s a good idea... what about when towing bikes too? What do you do then, I think I noticed you tow bikes as well if I remember right

I just got back from yellow stone. We towed about 70mph most the time and I averaged 7.5 mpg I have a 2018 LX570 and a 2019 airstream 25’11” dry weight 5600 lbs camp ready 6500 lbs... I tow in the utah mountains and camp regularly at 10,000 feet. The long big climbs I usually get 6.5 it’s...

So update on towing so far this year everything has been good, the longest climbs without any breaks are still going into the 240 range. Oddly enough climbing from 6,500 feet to 10,000 feet in the Utah Uinta mountains where the roads go up then down, up and down up and down. Giving the SUV a...

First you need to understand my kids, they all have separate rooms with full and queen beds... I can’t get them to sleep in their own rooms they pile in one room, on one bed even to this day... so the airstream totally works for them. They all pile into one corner and are happy, I am hoping that...

And here is a snap shot of the Lexus manual for GCWR and how the LX570 and the Airstream sit. The trailer is perfectly level I mean perfect, I put a level in the trailer had to play with the hitch raising and lowering a few times to get it right, but now I feel it’s perfect, steering handling...

Ok here is real world data 2018 Lx 570 with a 2019 25fb international The international has a GVWR of 7300lbs The LX570 per the door jam sticker GVWR is 7395 GCWR with trailer and LX is 13,400, Front axle rating with the 21” tires and rims 3595 front axles and 4300 rear axle. i have 20” rims...

Okay long write up. So I towed the trailer about 130 miles this weekend, nothing to far. I went home a different route ( I live in the mountains camped in the valley ) with a much more moderate and consistent climb almost unperceived, the transmission never got over 212. The tow experience went...

Going up the pass I am in 4th, 3rd and if needed sometimes 2nd... I have never towed without weight distribution but I would not recommend without it... I have seen to many flipped trailers where I live. Set up is key, we have short wheel base vehicles I wouldn’t skimp on equipment not for a...

Lol I wouldn’t actually take up through guardsman pass making it through Park city and then deer valley area would be an adventure Lol. Then making it through big cottonwood canyon with its crazy s-curve not likely. I am going to try Provo canyon though... I think the LX is capable and I am...
