    Just picked up immaculate '13 LX570 rear A/C not cold enough...intermittent driver footwell hiss

    I have had my '17 LX since new. I noticed the rear air was not blowing cold, about a year into ownership - front was fine. I took it in to the dealer they evacuated the refrigerant and recharged, adding some dye. Turns out it was 1/2 pound low. It's like an ice box now. I check with a black...

    '17 LX AC Recharge

    Had to take my '17 LX in for service the other day as the AC was not blowing cold on the passenger side. Once I noticed an issue, I checked the back and realized the rear AC wasn't blowing cold either. The dealer only recovered 0.5 lb of refrigerant! They added UV dye and recharged. AC now blows...

    Gas Mileage USA vs Canada

    E10 gas reduces MPG around 3-4%, so in the case of the OP, on your trip you may have picked up a max of 0.5 MPG improvement if you did run pure gas. I can only imagine the main difference is elevation change. The thinner the air, the easier to punch a hole in the air with our 'bricks' and...

    TFL Old vs New, LC vs LX570

    I agree that it's not fair to compare a 2008 LC with a new LX but when I bought my '17 LX I was really shopping for a LC. I far preferred the exterior of the LC but it did not feel like an $85k vehicle on the inside, sorry to say but it felt kinda cheap and dated with a lot of plastics and fake...

    Break Controller - install and which one?

    I really like the clean integration of the Redarc but unfortunately it doesn't have the capability to control EOH brakes, so I went with the Tekonsha P3 and it works great for both regular and EOH trailer brakes.

    Advice on diminished value insurance compensation for 16 LX

    I don't know which state you are in but I'm in Texas and have had no problem successfully making a diminished claim. The first one was on a VW Touareg that was about 3 weeks old. The damage was minor, maybe less damage than yours. I was offered $3,600 and did not pay for a report to be prepared...

    Commuting in the 200

    25 mile one way commute in '17 LX 570. Open freeway, it's great. When I get to the traffic light as I approach home I always leave it on to make sure my LX brakes all the way to a standstill - haven't rear ended anyone yet! In traffic, I can anticipate better and ease off the throttle to reduce...

    2017 Lexus LX570 21" wheels fit on a 2017 Land Cruiser?

    I purchased a 2017 LX 570 and switched out to 20" wheels as i live on a farm and needed all terrain tires. My stock 21" wheels are essentially new with 500 miles on them. If you are interested in buying them let me know. I am in Texas so shipping may not be cheap. The ride of the wheels and...

    Absolutely no rubbing at all in over 3,000 miles. At normal height with wheels turned fully, there is very little clearance. I think I'm only getting away with it as the wheels are stock with factory offset and the tire width is 275. Strangely, there is greater clearance in low and a lot more...

    New member with '17 LX 570

    Hi everyone. Purchased a new 2017 LX 570 a few months back and immediately switched out the 21" wheels for the current model year 20" wheels with BFG 275/60R20 D rated tires. Very pleased with the change. I don't have plans to do any other significant mods but am tempted by the Tembo fuel tank...
