Looks like an '04 with around 28k miles on it. It probably has monitors in the headrests too.

How does it ride, does it feel BIG or does it feel like the RX?

Thanks guys for all your comments, I traded my tacoma pickup for it and it feels big, love driving it, smooth. Never owned a Lexus before and it feels great.

Hey fellas, it's true love! Let's leave these two alone.

Just kidding! Welcome.

What other cars / trucks / SUVs were you looking at?

We were actually on a recent trip to Fiji and saw several Toyota Prados running around on the island, so we decided to rent one for the weekend there. As soon as i took my first drive i was in love. I knew i had to have one. As soon as i came back here in the states i went and traded my tacoma for it in about two weeks of coming back. This one is far better and nicer then the one i rented.

I will probably be purchasing more lexus's now since i own one now. Probably looking at the RX for my wife.

Nah, I just took a guess after looking really close at the tire treads in photoshop.

Welcome MK!

We own an RX also. I tend to take the RX for short around town rides, and the GX for the big trips. After the GX, which was our first, we decided to go Lexus again.
