Honestly, at these prices, I would just head straight to the Lexus dealer and get the GX. The Lexus dealership experience would be worth it over dealing with Joe Dick's Toyota alone.

Hi Topher. I've been a recent fan and have been watching all of your suv drive reviews and love the perspective and variety of vehicles that you show. I'm looking for a large suv daily cruiser and have set my eyes on the 21' lx570 and 23'+ lx600 which I know you've driven and reviewed. Between the 2, would you say the lx600 is that much smoother, quieter, and nicer interior? I don't mind the price or mpg. Just space and drive comfort. Thanks!
@TheTopher 15 днів тому
Hey, thanks for watching! I think the LX 570 takes the cake with smoothest driving experience and nicest interior. I’d go drive both to see what you prefer though, good luck with the search!
@hdl7721 2 дні тому
@@TheTopher Thank you so much for the reply!! I have done as much digging as I possibly can and after test driving the lx600 I think I'll just have to find an lx570 to try as well. I was still very impressed with the lx600 but it does jitter like you mentioned possibly due to the 22 inch tires. Speaking of which, I heard that 18 inch wheels with soft tires like Michelins make a huge difference in ride quality. Given that the lx570 has a smoother engine, if both the lx570 and lx600 were both luxurys and both on 18 inch wheels, would the lx570 still be the smoothest overall driving experience? Thanks!!
