Are you lifted? Do you have aftermarket UCAs? Aside from @TexAZ, who runs Tundra arms and CVs, I don't know if anyone who has posted on this forum that they've broken a CV wheeling.
Well it was my tundra that snapped. I haven’t wheeled my LC yet. It’s brand new, bone stock with a pile of parts waiting for install.
 
That is interesting to hear. I drove the XO 200 Series through a fair bit of large metro area traffic, though it's heavy and had a trailer in tow so I didnd't event notice the "too low" 1st. I can see how that would be a bit awkward feeling having driven other vehicles with a deep 1st. Where is that 2nd Start button :D

On my '17, the button is on the console aft of the shifter. "ECT 2nd Start" is what I think it is labeled, but I'm going on memory. I will look later. It's really for snow and ice I think, to keep the breaking loose and spinning problem under control.
 
@BW200 ETC is electronic transmission control - aka turbo button. Hit it and watch your RPM's go up ever so slightly - the truck is ready to pounce.
I use the 2nd start function when I'm on hills and need or want to let off the gas without touching the brake. Think boat ramp. It may have other functions but so far I have yet to notice or use it other than what I mentioned.

re-gearing to 4:88's is the best mod I benefit from every day, hands down!
 
There is no button for the ECT PWR function on the 2016+, is there one? On my LX, the button is ETC 2nd Start, similar to BW200.
To make the transmission be more sporty I move the gear lever to the left which is the sport mode. When I am in the mood, I would use the paddles and change manually.

There's ETC Power and ETC 2nd.
 
Lexus may have pampered LX owners and made it one button
