Hello! This is just a simple introduction post. I've had this 2015 LX570 for a year and a bit now and it is a wonderful truck that Lexus hath made! It's our only vehicle, it carries my wife and our 4 kids very comfortably and reliably, it sure spoils ya! Currently at 155k miles and putting about 500 miles per week on it. Just a couple things on the lazy horizon, I'm psyching myself up to do it's, likely, first AHC flush soon. I'm hoping to figure out which Yakima Landing Pads will work for the towers and crossbars I'd like to replace the factory rack with. I'm also wondering if there's any benefit to going back to a stock tire size when these need to be replaced, and in the meantime what PSI I should be running on the Michelin Defenders (305/50/20) that are on it. The original owner (from Charleston, NC) put 305s on the stock wheels (I assume they are and that he simply powder-coated them black). Sometimes I get a nice squealing belt sound, not sure what's up with that, it comes and goes unpredictably and infrequently. Anyways, I love this truck! I'm glad this community is here, it's seems to be a wealth of knowledge and genuine care for these trucks and their owners! (Picture is from the night we brought it home to KY!)

Congrats and welcome.. all of those answers are here to be found with some reading.

With 155k you may be on original belt tensioner and idler, which are the first places I'd look for an intermittent squeal if the belt is verified to be in good shape. Yes to stock tire size to regain mileage.
 
If you’re going to do what you expect to be your first AHC flush, it might be worth doing the globes too. I’ve ticked over 150k on mine and they’re definitely not as healthy as they should be. Japanese eBay vendors have OEM globes for $500-ish a set.

Thank you very much!

Thanks! The whole AHC system seems intimidating, it's sad that maintaining it is not something dealers are willing to do.
