LX700h announcement

[tbisaacs]

So if you want to lift it for 35's and up, is this possible with the ACH or are you replacing with coilovers upfront and coils in the rear?

A lift will not help you run larger tires. They still have to fit the wheel's range of motion. Lift doesn't change where the wheel goes. On the 200 series, folks are running 35s & 37s on their AHC truck. One guy is running 40s with a lot of custom fab.

 

[nickandrews]

Generally it seems yes, you can run 35s with AHC with minimal work. Utilizing a sensor lift and/or shock extenders with a proper offset wheel should get us there. Admittedly I don't have hands-on experience with this for the 300.

Once mine arrives I'll either stick with my trusty 275/70/18 KO2 tires or a 'skinny' 34inch tire.

Nate! Just saw your updated signature....what spec did you order on the LX700?!! Congrats too btw!

The options and pricing aren't out yet, but I've secured an early (or first?) spot at my dealer for the Overtrail (preferably 2 row model). Since this is the closest thing I can get to the GR300, I'll take it.

My only major complaint right now is that we don't have a tailgate.

As for colors I'm thinking, in order of preference: Earth, Nori, White

 

[Joe T]

Ordered an overtrail as well. Told them to let me know the colors they are allotted.

Where? I am your neighbor in H-town. How was the process? Price clues?

 

[Joe T]

Out of state dealer. I am also ordering one here locally at westside.

Just call a dealer and ask to put a deposit down on one.

Its going to be msrp and I will kindly ask for a small discount.

I will send one to a second home in a different country.

yeah, but what's the msrp? don't think i have seen anywhere (and am afraid to look).

 

[Joe T]

Dont know but probably 125k?

I think you're on the money at 125. I'd loved to see a 'base' Overtrail at $99 or less, but with the hybrid, lockers, and AHC, I'd anticipate somewhere between the F-Sport and Ultra Luxury (so between 110/115 - 130/135)?

Can't wait to see and when you lock in, please post up. For a while I thought the F Sport was the closest we could get to a GR, but not anymore....I love nori green so that is the color I'm pulling for when you order.

In the LX600 with the second row seats folded up, can a person lie down flat and comfortable in the rear cargo area? In the LX700h, will the hybrid battery compartment bulge out into into the cargo area preventing a flat area for sleeping?

In my 100 series, I can lay down flat on my back with the 2nd row seats folded up and the tail gate down. Sometimes I'll do that instead setting up a tent during trips.

700h is like the sequoia In theory. Reality Lexus has not showcased the setup mysteriously or purposely.

 

[roncruiser]

A non flat rear cargo would be a big down side. Hope they find some way to design a flat cargo area into the 700h.

In my 600 yes, a little at an angle. I am 5-11 and slept with a 5-3 girl back there on a road trip. Had to put our bags in the 2nd row hole to get level, you have to rumble them all the way forward.

It should be near flat in the hybrid with the seats just folded down. Would be perfect as it would max the room available.

The photos of the Sequoia hybrid rear cargo area is a mess. Total non-flat area for sleeping.

If one orders the 700h overtrail edition 2 row, hoping Lexus builds in a bridge to span over the dip in the middle. I'm hoping there's some design compensation to account for the dip/bulge, or just plain design it to be flatter back there.

For the maple syrup folks out there pricing has been launched

For reference LX600 ranges from
115k-160k CAD

Price for the LX700h.

OT+ 2 rows 136,059 MSRP
OT+ 3 rows 138,154 MSRP
VIP 171,125 MSRP

VIP Incurs a fed tax that will push this to 230k CAD.


Expect a similar price bump in the states. Without preferable sales support, this might be a hard push in the states though (G wagons are being given away at triple net).

Wonder if we will see increased prices from autos built overseas due to the likely tariffs being imposed by the new administration?

Something seems off. Assuming a .702 exchange rate that would be sub 100k in USD? What am I doing wrong?

Can you confirm this? I put down a deposit on the 700H OT as well (2nd on list at my dealer), but they can't confirm this for me...if it's like the Sequoia, then it'll be a 600 instead. Our dog is the size of a small pony, and she exceeds the weight limit that the battery box will support (Sequoia) 130 pounds max. Thanks!

130 max? If that's the case, I won't be able to sleep on the floor back there with my dog. I'm North of 200lbs. Dog is 30lbs.
