The LX600 is definitely on my short list to replace my aging Land Cruiser 200. I most definitely will be ordering it with the 18" wheels as I will most likely off-road the vehicle the day I buy it. I don't hard core rock crawl but definitely drive rutted fire roads, dirt roads, and long corrugated gravel roads.

Instead, buy a new sequoia Ltd with trd and put a lift and real offroad tires on it. Beats this Lexus. Only thing missing is full time 4wd. Not a biggie if your offroad anyways.
@stonepa Рік тому

@huanronghu4432 9 місяців тому
yeah if you saw the pick-up truck plus SUV talk video about where the recovery points are, there is one in the LX600 underneath the video under the left side. it's weird that Toyota cheaped out on this generation of their full-size SUVs considering all of their predecessors had 2 in the front (and one in the back for land cruiser and LX). im guessing the 300 series only has one tow hook on the other side where the LX doesn't have it. but hey, one tow hook beats none at all or else land cruiser sales would drop considerably without that single tow hook.
@JVicViperX Рік тому
Hey this was a terrific video on the driving impression of the LX 600. Honestly, not a lot of reviewers give it the time and basically walk around it with the Lexus specs and typical mouthpiece language. Kudos to a true test of its features both on and off road.

I like the look of my 2017 better on the outside. I prefer the legendary V8 in my 2017 as well, even though gas mileage is bad. I do like the 3rd row disappearing into the body of the vehicle! I prefer rear hvac in the arm rest though. 3rd rows are meant for adults. However, albeit the 3rd row feature, I don't see any reason to upgrade. Infotainment system seems even worse. Lexus needs to have an American to do their operating systems on infotainment or perhaps outsource to Sony to work on user interface. Americans produce the best software and all other countries do a terrible job.
