I love this version of adaptive cruise. In SoCal I find the ability to manage stop and go traffic particularly useful. It's also great at easing my driver fatigue on longer open stretches of road. I'm taking the GX on a road trip this weekend, and i'm really looking forward to letting it the...

So, I didn't have any issues with the vehicle for the first 1,000 miles of driving on good highways. However, this weekend, I was driving on a stretch of highway where the washboard like effect was pronounced. I don't experience the same effect in either my Land Cruiser 250, or the LX 600. The...

I have around 1,200 miles on my GX. I have no issues with the vehicle other than the brake squeal. The good news is my Lexus dealership has ordered the parts to sort that out.

i purchased the LC 250 in July after going back and forth between the GX and the Land Cruiser. The price point on the LC with the premium package was 10k less than the GX. OT+, so I justified it despite having some reservations about the engine. I own an LX 600, so I thought the LC 250 would...

It really depends on who is assessing the value. Carmax has been a bit more forgiving over the years if the car is otherwise clean while some franchise dealerships I've gone to have tried to rake me over the coals. The delta was 15% for a relatively minor incident. In most markets Lexus has...

First, congratulations on your beautiful truck. There's a feature in the driver assistance module in the Lexus menu that turns on proactive driver assistance. That turns off the most annoying features of the safety suite. I would walk you through it here, but these videos are about as good as...

I have the OT+ no roof rack, no vibration, no flutter. Interestingly, I have some of that hood flutter in my LX 600, but not enough to really bug me.

This thread reminded me of this video I saw regarding the GX 460. The guy bought a 2023 GX 460 in the Luxury trim and had a low rumble and vibration and hum at 70 MPH. Like some of your experiences, the dealership fiddled with tires etc, before swapping out his vehicle.

How do you like the RX? Do you have the V6?

We have 3 drivers with a fourth on deck in our household and we have different use cases. We have an EV that we use around town, but there are moments where my wife needs an ICE to show homes in cities without well-developed infrastructure (EV/Roads). We got the LC 250 as a fun vehicle to fit...

I own a '23 LX 600, so I'm invested in this topic. Let me preface this by saying I'm not an engineer, nor did I sleep in a Holiday Inn last night. People are very quick to hate on Toyota when they have an issue (as all manufacturers do). Toyota identified a process flaw in the manufacturing...

The only thing that bums me out is the ML sound system. I have never had a better stereo system in a vehicle in my life, but it would take a long time to amortize the additional cost to make it worth while.

No, if you look at the buyer’s guide, E-KDSS comes only on the OT and OT+ trims. The Torsen limited slip differential is standard on all trims.
