There's more to it than just two-row versus three-row and the base MSRP is only $5K between the two. That said, most three-rows are ordered with the luxury package, ML sound system and 21's which add up to another $5K in options totaling a $10K difference between the standard two-row. ML definitely has an added value on the secondary market but the third row is personal and somewhat polarizing given the less livable design of the jump seats. The 300 definitely got the third row right even if it did drop the nod to the tradition of the jump seats. I don't think two-row models will be any less desirable or valuable (short of the options) as there are much better third rows in large SUV's on the market should a buyer really need that space.
I wish i had a two row for the cargo shade alone lol.
I just dont know if it deletes rear air vents, i know the temp sensors are in the side panels.
That would be a no go, they cool my groceries down. The seatbelts are annoying too but at least i have the option.

Ah got it. How is the standard sound system? I’m not impressed by my 04 ML lol
Meh for a $90K SUV but I don't care as I don't listen to my music all that loud these days anyways. Most of the time I am on a call or listing to a podcast so it's not really a factor and you'd be surprised by how often I drive in silence lol.
I got $71K on trade for my 2019 with 21K miles on it back at the end of the year. So there's a little bit of premium on that price but not too bad given the current market.

There’s also interior color choices only available with 3row. I wanted red and you can’t have it with 2 row. I probably going to remove 3rd row one side or completely. But options and colors had me choose it
With a three-row you can always remove the third row, but you can’t (easily/practically) add a third row to a two-row vehicle.
It’s like a house or condo: more rooms is always better. If they’re not needed, they won’t be used, but if someone needs them, they won’t be able to get by without them.

Correct, I just wish it was pop in and out like the 100 series. The third belt tucks nicely inside the headliner but the other two are a nuisance.
The LX570 2-row were also mostly missing ventilated seats. That was a deal breaker to me.
No ML audio, no HUD. Only 2 interior colors and less if you want luxury package. Just check configurator
My 2019 LX570 2-row had ventilated seats in both the front and second row.
ML is overhyped IMHO and most don't crank their music once they get beyond their youth. I've never found HUD to be of any practical use beyond flying lol, YMMV.
I agree with this, just stated facts. I wanted red leather so had no choice. And even though I care less about 3rd row SO said we need it. Just in case.
Not at all.
ML in this vehicle at least (not sure about the full Lexus range) is actually extremely good. Even the older Nakamichi systems were good for their time.
I dont know what yall are comparing it to but its easily in the top five on the market right now.
A definite deal breaker for me on any purchase is base audio. I dont even listen to much music anymore but still, i want something balanced between the podcasts!
Is the base LX system the LC JBL? I dont know anything about it.
Where is that?
2 Row HE was $2k more than 3 row at every dealer I shopped at. This also says so:
