I really appreciate the help. The cost for that amount of work really seemed off to me. I went ahead and called Costco after you suggested an alternative shop and they will replace ALL of them for $260. I am going to call Lexus in the morning and make sure I am understanding the charge right...

This is specifically what they said: Concern Critical Customer States That The Tire Pressure Readings Does Not Show Up On Dash Cause VERIFIED CUSTOMER CONCERN TPMS LIGHT FLASHING CONNECTED SCAN TOOL AND RETRIEVED DTC C2177 INITIALIZATION NOT COMPLETED AND C2124 TRANSMITTER ID4 NOT RECEIVED...

Hi Al! I have a 2017 LX 570. While I was driving in the rain last week the TPSM monitor reported a flaw and all tire pressures stopped displaying. Upon restarting the car, this system showed pressures briefly and then drew another fault and showed no pressures. I brought the car into Lexus...

Appreciate the thought, have a 1000 mile road trip on Wednesday so I am too tight on time to pull it off. Good long term plan though. Ordered the ltx and they get installed Tuesday. Will have an alignment done as well. I just read the thread on the head gasket erosion from the coolant based on...

Will take some pics today! I also will start a new thread as I will be getting a few things done that I want to share my experiences on. When I am down south I am going into Beatsonic for their CarPlay module. I have never used CarPlay before, but this adds it to the LX. I don’t think the LX...

Thanks for the help everyone. Looks like LTX will be the way to go for me. Does anyone have thoughts on how they do in hard braking, emergency braking? They do have a new size LTX which is kind of an exciting option to me, 275/55/r21, comes in at 32.9”. I will confirm, but I believe the stock...

Hi all. Picked up a 2017 LX570 last week (pics and info to follow) unfortunately/fortunately it is ULTRA low miles (I grin each time I say it, 9,300 miles) I purchased through Carmax, but it turns out the 125 point Inspection is a bit of a joke. I took it to Lexus for a PPI and they confirmed...

While I see it as unlikely, I don’t necessarily see it as an impossibility. I could see them revising power and torque to say 425 and 450, and I think people would be really pleased. I could also see them being able to add 3/4 mpg to the city/hwy numbers and getting into a respectable range...

I am really shocked to hear about the second row being “more” cramped. The second row is already so small. I was very hopeful that the second row would be larger on this iteration (personally, my most wanted feature) so to envision it being even smaller is hard to believe. The second row is...

Yes, very true. I know we all want to know as much as we can, as early as we can, at least I do. At the same time, I think if we come across information that could jeopardize someone’s livelihood, we should do what we can to shroud them from that. A certain person on this forum was nice enough...

I haven’t seen this information elsewhere on Mud, so I thought I would pass it along. A dealership in South Africa I believe, had some of their docs leaked online. Nothing new that I could see with the exception being that the wheelbase is confirmed to be unchanged (vs the 2 inch longer...

Personally I appreciate you sharing. Had that photo actually caught the next gen it would have been fun to see. The editor certainly should have vetted the information he was putting out though. I see you reached out to him and it is good that he acknowledged his mistake.

Darn! I got a little excited by the title, but as it turns out that is the 2019 VXR front spoiler. I am sure the 300 isn’t far off now. It will be exciting to see what it turns out to be!

Sorry to hear about the accident. I am glad to hear you are ok. A hit from an Escalade is no small thing. Do you happen to have pictures from the accident? I am always curious how these hold up in various collision scenarios.

#5 what has kept me from making the leap is a concern about safety. Specifically rollover. I searched and found a very large number of rollover accidents that seems to entirely crush the roof. I currently drive an suv with the strongest roof made and was unable to make the compromise. NCAP did...
