I highly doubt there will be anything and even if there is it’ll be very minor. I’ve heard nothing about a hybrid either.
Engines that don’t blow up. Maybe?
Lexus dropped the ball BIG TIME on the LX600. It's a damn shame. Look how much marketing they did for the new GX. Do you remember even a single commercial to hype up the 300-series LX? I don't. Literally nobody cares or knows about this car, not to mention the dog sht drivetrain and enormous sticker price. These things were selling for over $200k USED last year at our local dealerships, I saw it with my own two eyes.
I think I maybe saw 5 total LX600s in the last few years. Everybody here is driving Range Rovers and BMW/Audi/Mercedes SUVs.
They ruined the LS, the GS which is now gone for good, and now the LX. So all their flagship models are done for. And I am sure they could care less as their bread and butter has always been the ES,RX, and now the NX.

You beat me to the punch!
Very few LX600s are having engine issues. They were handmade in Japan. This vehicle is very rare, and has better build quality than anything out there at any price point. I absolutely love this car, and IF the engine ever blows I am sure Lexus will take care of it. I added the extended warranty before there were any of these rumors. To me this is all FUD, and 99%+ of LX600 owners have had no issues to date.
PS if you can swing a $112k+ car, then you can fix whatever it needs outside the warranty period.

I was kinda “messed up” by my Sclass’s and consistent reliability/quality out of a 2008 Tundra and a couple 17-19 Superduties I have owned.
I wouldn’t own a new Tundra unless it was just a base model. I looked at them too.
Happy to pay for the LX.

Utter stupidity what you just said. I can afford to finance a $112k car but I sure as **** can’t afford to just dump $45-50k on an engine replacement every 20k miles when your warranty runs out.PS if you can swing a $112k+ car, then you can fix whatever it needs outside the warranty period.
I have to say you really do “pay” for the quality and its a shame nowdays. My 2008 Tundra was a tank and very affordable.
They will figure out the engine problem. I thankfully waited 2 years as you usually get the better quality the year or 2 after a new model comes out (and yes I have tested this theory and it sometimes is absolutely the case).
I bought some wheels/all terrains for this LX600 and may not want to run them long. To toss them on another vehicle I went to the Toyota Tundra build site to play around and notice it has been down. Maybe they are preparing for some motor swaps?
They will figure out the engine problem when? It’s been SIX years hahaha.
They recalled 102,000 Tundras and LX600 in the US. I am sure some hybrid Tundras will be given extended warranties or something and experience failures.
Then you should factor in the market outside of North America but the 3.5 is just an optional engine on the 300. I read something about Australia having to recall 184 LX600. So as mentioned its not a popular vehicle.
I would guess 125,000 3.4 specific to this Tundra/300/600. I looked at the build websites now and the Lexus LX and LS is up and so is the Tacoma and Prius. The Tundra build site is down.
You also don’t have an LX600 or Tundra?
I am guessing the best case scenario for someone affected is to avoid the actual recall repair and bring it in at 300k miles for the recall. Put a remand transmission, new alternator and ac compressor while you are at it and go through the suspension!
I had an employee with a Hyundai Sonata that got 2 motor replacements. Car was beat to dog s*** too. They drove it halfway across Texas almost weekly to see family so I imagine it had a ton of miles.

What size wheels and all terrains did you buy? Thanks

Sure needs as revised front grille --- Terminator is not attractive.
I ordered in 275/50/22 Continental AT (at my local tire store) and haven’t got them on yet because its in for warranty service. I have a set of 22x9.5 +30mm backspacing. They shouldn’t “poke” but it’s gonna be close.
I have been considering BFG KO3s now because I feel like I am going to hate the all terrains anyway and swap them out. Might as well go all the way with it and hate them so much I put the stocks back on and order a Tundra in the next couple years to run the 22s on.
I also have a super duty running Yokohama GO15 AT and they are really great.
Yeah depending on how its optioned it can stick out. But with the right color, options, and wheels its a winner.
I went black Fsport and if I start disliking the grill I will put the front license plate on to break it up. I think the white or black fsport and the 300 GR in a dark color are the 2 winner on this gen.
The 2008 LX570 was kinda ugly duckling too and the refreshed one was an improvement.
I would disagree wity this statement regarding engine issues. The LX600 is also part of the massive recall in the US as well as in AUS and if* these engines originally made in Japan, this means Japanese engines are also having these issues. You don't see as much as the the LX600 is a bit of a niche product (in the US at least) doesn't sell as much as the Tundra volume wise.Very few LX600s are having engine issues.
