I bought my 2013 LC about 18 months ago with 69K miles on it and have put about 35k miles on it. Since ownership I've had to replace the radiator since the previous dealer replaced it with a non-oem one (although it sounds like the original had a leak thus them replacing it anyways) and I've had the KDSS valves seized up. Other than that it has worked as it should and has been a reliable vehicle. I will say this, my 2016 Toyota 4Runner Trail ed w/o KDSS went 107k miles without a single issue. Yes it's slow, isn't as luxurious as an LC, and components not as robust but in many ways I think it's as reliable and a MUCH MUCH easier vehicle to work on. Changing the suspension on a non-KDSS vehicle is a simple and easy process. Me changing the suspension on the LC required fighting the rusted KDSS valves, dealing the the KDSS pistons and ungodly effort to get the swaybar links to line back up after lifting it. I mean it might have been that it was my first time working on the LC but I felt like the job was 5x more difficult than working on the 4Runner. So in a way, I can see what the OP was talking about. I mean if the 4Runner had a better powertrain combo in its current iteration it would be a very nice platform and easy to work on.
