Just bought a 2006 LX470 and so far, into my third day of ownership, I love it. It has 128K miles on it.
I noticed that there is a VSC or something similar that comes up without me turning it on. I haven't researched that yet. The gas mileage expectedly is not the best, but for a car that size, it sounds normal.
As a new owner what are some of the things that I should know/do? What features does the car have that are useful but may be overlooked?

Thanks for reading.

Get to the lexus website, go to the "owners" section. You should be able to download the owner's manual for the truck.

You can also plug her VIN in and get a report of any and all services done by a lexus dealer since she was new. As well as any recommended services that were declined by past owner(s).

I'd also check the series 100 newbies guide on sleeoffroad.com

I know of no one who's ever purchased an LX or LC with mpg in mind. They're 2.5+ ton trucks with V-8 engines and low gearing in the drive train. You'll probably see 12-13 mpg around town; 15-17 mpg maybe on the highway. My '01 LX mileage is a bit lower than that, but I drive with the ECT feature activated unless I'm in ice and snow.
