Thanks to those who helped me with this decision. It has 42,000 miles, metallic black exterior and black interior, super clean truck. Enjoying the extra power over the 470. I do think the front bumper might have been replaced, but spent an hour under the lift checking everything out and it seems good. Drives great.

I suspect this car is not a US car. The speedo is in MPH, but the center console digital display shows speed in KPH. Any way to change this?

If the bumper was replaced, then they would have had to remove the headlight washer button too. I looked it over before you transferred it and had similar thoughts. I ultimately went a different direction, but seemed like a nice rig.

Thanks. Does the 2014 have remote start? Have been studying on this and can't figure that out.

Remote start was always optional as I understand it. The only way it's indicated as equipped is a transparent sticker on the drivers side window.
 
My sticker is under the hood as well. Not a fan of the Toyota remote start, but it works.

My remote start sticker was affixed under the hood. The lexus could be different.

Does sound different. I can only speak to my '09 LX570.

Here's what the sticker looks like on the drivers side window.

^Now I wonder if my LX has an underhood sticker too.
 
OK. I have searched, but still confused. What power steering fluid does a 2014 LX take? Our 470s use Dextron and it says so on the fill cap. This 2014 says "Power Steering Fluid" and what is in the reservoir is clear/slightly yellow.

Appears my recirculation door isn't working. I also think the front AHC globes are nearing end of life. I have 8,000 miles left of bumper to bumper warranty. Plan to take it to the dealer this month to address. Otherwise, this thing is like a brand new car.

I feel like the 470s are more solidly built, but I am loving the extra power this thing has.
 
What makes you think the globes are nearing the end of their lives? I'm looking at moving from a 470 to a 570 and everything I've read about the AHC on the 570s sounds like globes aren't wear items like they are on the 470.

I agree. I’ve owned 3 570s. One in particular had over 100k miles and I used to tow 32 foot 12,000 lb. boat with it, with a lot of weight on the AHC. No issues.
 
Just a harsh ride on front end. We have a 2000 LX 470. When new, you could hit a speedbump at 35 MPH nd barely feel it. In the 570, you feel every little bump and the rig seems to almost jump off the ground.

I have 42k miles on my 2015 LX. Running 285/55/20 BFGATKO2’s on the comfort setting rough roads and bumps not a problem handles great
