Impulse trip to Sedona: View attachment 3995442

Such a rotten, poorly designed vehicle. Definitely not worth $120k.

. I get a little sick of the guys on here that buy this thing, thinking it is competition with an X7 or Mercedes GLE.

What a great vehicle for exploring and enjoying all of God's good world, especially off the beaten track!

I agree, giant POS….

What's your city and highway mpg? Curious how much benefit the twin turbo 6 cylinder has improved real world mpg from the v8

Real world mileage on the Lx600: 17 around town, 22-24 highway. Drops to 22 if I'm driving around 80.

Just hit 5000 miles on the Lx700h OT, and I've had one tank at 20mpg, then slapped a roof top tent and dropped to 17.5mpg driving highway at 80. Suspect I'll be at 23-24 without the tent.

Have you been on any of the GX550 Facebook pages? Talk about people complaining...I've never seen anything like it. It's probably the same crowd though, people trying to compare it to something that it's not intended to be and not realizing how good these things really are at their intended purpose.

Don’t have a glam crisis in your LX

Is that Bruce Jenner?

To be fair, they are complaining about the GX though. which is not in the same league of the LX, as much as their owners can't admit that.

True, it is entertaining to read some of the comments though. I love this one..."I'm coming from a Suburban with 12 kids, will I be able to fit all my stuff in a GX?"

LOL...Sure, maybe strap half the kids in the roof rack. Problem solved.

Not surprising. People love to complain.

Meh.

Other than being BBS Forged, are there any other differences between these Tundra TRD wheels and the stock OT Wheels in terms of offset or anything else? Do they allow larger tires or the change is just for aesthetics? Call me crazy, but I kinda like the OEM Wheels and TBH I am not a huge fan of the design on these Tundra TRDs. Actually, I used to like the old style better - the black version of the 200HE Wheels - I guess they were discontinued?

I think the offset is different. 60 for the OT wheels and 47.5 for the TRD Pro wheels, these will stick out an extra 12.5mm. The TRD Pro wheels are also 8" wide vs 7.5" for the OT.

Correct on the BBS;

The OT wheels are +55mm offset.

Got it. That is significant in terms of having a flusher look.

And the wider tundra wheel is better suited for a 285 and up width tire.

Lexus should use your photos for marketing. Seeing shots like these makes me want to go buy one!
