I've towed in the relatively flat Midwestern US so not an apples to apples comparison. I've averaged around 12 mpg. The tire rack kills efficiency when towing my rig. My last tow vehicle (2014 RR Sport) would easily average 17 mpg fully loaded. The sacrifices we make for reliability!

Tent. Napier - Sportz Cove - Mid to Full-Sized SUV's & CUV's | Napier Outdoors not perfect, but works great.

Installed the Firestone airbags this week. Very straightforward install, although my tools are geared more towards lightweight sports cars and not 6,000 lb trucks. I need more > 19mm impact sockets! Passenger side was a bit tougher to get the spring in/out, but not too bad. Fully loaded...

I may have missed this on your website, but do you have the weight of the various components listed somewhere? I do a ton of towing/camping in my rig and have avoided going to a platform/drawers because of the weight compromise. Your solution may fit my usage model perfectly. Really great job...

Nope. Just the standard consumer sites. Cars.com, edmunds, etc... I was looking for a pre-2016 actually (so likely not off-lease as leases are commonly 36 months), but this one checked most of the boxes.

I've had email alerts on all of the typical car sites rolling for several months. Anytime a LC came up for sale nationwide, I got an email. Started tracking asking prices, price drops, mileage, year, etc... I missed out on a few over the last several months - I either didn't act fast enough...

Thanks. The home lift has been the single best "tool" purchase I've made. This is a relatively inexpensive scissor lift. Helps make it easy for almost all typical at-home repair, service, and maintenance items. Brakes, suspension, oil changes, detailing, race prep, etc... All simple with...

Terra interior. I dig it. KDSS bits look good, very little corrosion for a car in the midwest. Radiator and associated plumbing is on the list to inspect.

Newbie here so this may not be super helpful. What you describe is usually caused by one of three things: 1) tire issue, 2) bump steer caused by suspension changes or alignment, 3) worn suspension components (or overly compliant bushings). A few other points that you've probably determined...

After a few months of searching, I'm glad to join the LC 200 club, replacing a 2014 RR Sport. I blame @wiseinvestor for letting me test drive his. That set the hook and the rest is history. Coming from mildly collectable vehicles before, I was initially surprised at how quickly good examples...
