Looks good. Key for longevity. Hope there are filters you can easily clean or swap in the darker blue intakes.
Yep, they are reusable filters you need to clean off with a vacuum every 20k miles. The filter grates just pop out for cleaning:

I am considering either the 600 luxury or the 700h overland plus. Is the leather and seats the same in the 700h O+ as the 600 luxury? My biggest concern is not having lockers but the fuel range. It appears the likelihood of getting a LRA is more possible in the 600 vs. the 700h...correct? Also, it does not appear the 700h has a big advantage on fuel range, just better torque and hp. What am I missing and why should the 700h 0+ be the better choice, other then lockers? It does seem I would be giving up cargo space with 700 as well.
It’s just Overtrail, yes I believe the leather is all semi aniline. I’m not sure if the 600 gets massaging seats.
Regarding fuel we’ll have to see real world but the 600 may get better long distance highway range. Though I’m curious to see how ranges plays out with the hybrid motor while offroad.
Cargo space in the 600 will be a little better than the 2row 700.
I’m pretty confident that we will be able to install the OEM or LRA sub tanks on the 700 and will be sharing my documentation and research on it soon. My plan is to retrofit the OEM sub tank which will bring total capacity up to about 26gal.
Hey buddy! In case you don't recognize my user name, I am the one who sold you the Grey 200 a few year ago.
Thanks for the info. on the 600. If I can replace the sub tank to 25-26gal., that would be great news. This LX will be mostly used for pavement and the occasional fire road, nothing serious.
Woah! When did you change your user name?? Still have the 200! She has 100,000 now and hasn’t skipped a beat.Hey buddy! In case you don't recognize my user name, I am the one who sold you the Grey 200 a few year ago.
Great to hear she's been good to you! I changed my name maybe a year or two ago.
I heard the 252 (GX) got the same stuff as the 300/310
I'd be interested in seeing that comparison as well as the 150 vs 250 and 200 vs 300 on these components.
You heard wrong. The GX just as the Prado is classified as "light-duty" by Toyota.
Not the case. While the GX550 has the larger rear axle, the LX250 has the smaller diff. This has been covered at great, great, great lengths here on the forum.
I'd love to see the larger 9.5" as a factory offering in the LC250 and we've seen it on some pre-production stuff. They've heard the begging.
On another note, I was able to spend a great deal of time with the LX700h, GX550, 6thGen 4Runner, LC250 and Tacoma's this last week for a camping/off-road Big Bend trip we hosted for Toyota/Lexus last week. I'm loooooooving the LX700h
I was there working/hosting and am very excited to see all the photo and video our guests captured, much of which was astrophotography with the vehicles under the stars.

Thats awesome. Does the 700h have the same shift mapping and throttle mapping as the 600? What were the variable suspension changes I read about? Any noticeable changes?
I have one coming but we are still in love with my 24 Onyx Black Fsport which is NLA.
Its really hard to test drive an LX as they are on order around here. Anyone have one near Houston?
