I’ll say this much. A lift, 20’s, and AT tires will do wonders at cars and coffee and Instagram. Also do wonders to fill the pockets of all the people you buy these things from. As for comfort or off road ability? You aren’t really doing yourself any favours. If the above aligns with your...

Compromises are compromises

I think you are mistaking “not as bad as other lifts” for “more comfortable than stock”. I don’t think anything you are talking about is going to actually improve comfort. Lifts have their place… but as mentioned above it’s not for making your truck ride better… Putting 22’s and grappler tires...

More sidewall is what you really need. More rim adds stiffness to the system and discomfort. I guess you could put softer springs in. Would make the truck super bouncy, likely mean more bumps stop interaction which is harsh. Probably need some adjustable dampers to compensate. Add all that up...

Step one don’t put 22’s on it

Lexus will never do it. I don’t think Lexus’s implementation is sophisticated enough and would require significant changes to be deployed. As it is the LTA that the cars already have isn’t very good at tracking a lane. Nowhere near reliable enough for autonomous driving. Maybe in a future...

I’ll admit. I love the look of sliders. But I’ve always been a bit sheepish about them since my pregnant wife slipped getting out of my AT4 on them…

Pretty sure the GX has active noise cancellation. It makes the car eerily quiet inside. At highway speeds the wind noise creeps in, but it’s still pretty quiet.

Let me spec a 4 seat OT+ with rear captain chairs. Higher quality interior ( there’s ALOT of cheap plastic ) Optional height adjustable air suspension ( would be nice to get into lower parkades, plus extra clearance off road when needed ) Sunroof delete in all markets True highway self...

A V8

Never say never. The LX has one

I just always park next to a fancier vehicle

Ya I still have my old X5 ( my wife takes my car hand me downs ). Same size tank, but I’d say X5 gets double the range of the GX. Very different vehicle despite how often people hilariously cross shop them.

Live shows up in the central display under one of the menus if you want to watch it. I think there might be a dashboard widget if you scroll through them but it’s not super useful, like a relative mpg bar. The range math can be reset on there it’s not dreadfully useful. I think the poster...

As someone who lives in probably some of the worst hail country on the planet ( billions of damage a year like clockwork ). There is no good solution. Time to start shopping for a bigger garage. That or just make sure your insurance is gold plated and try not to care about it?
