Plus front and rear lockers, 4.5" lift with 37" tires (portal axles with 40" tires as an option).
Similar to Jeep and its Wrangler which use Rubicon name, the name of this offroad special edition can be for example Fordyce Creek :-)

2017 LX is now available on the Lexus website. I cannot see absolutely any difference comparing to 2016 LX (as I expected). The Owners manual is not available on Lexus Drivers yet.

One change is apparent, it looks like the 2017 base MSRP will be $89,380 vs $88,880 for the 2016.

Hi Ohiois350,
How did You like Your 2013 LX? Can you post your experience and may be a little comparison with your 2016.
I am looking forward to buy a 2013 as they can now be had for a good price.
Thank You.

I love my formal 13" LX, when i first had it i said wow, it feel so smooth, i think for the ride, they are both same, but for the techs, the new LX way better, my new LX haven't arrive yet, it is coming at the end of this month, therefore i can not really compare much more

my 2010 LX has the active headlights (headlights track steering angle). Bought my vehicle used, so must have been an option on the vehicle if not standard equipment.

You won't regret it, it excels in just about every area except gas mileage. The 2013s/2014s can be found right now for good price/miles/value.

You can also check out ih8mud.com 's 200 series forum for LC/LX information.

On our 2013 LX570, the HID headlights swivels and turn with the steering input. So is our 2013 RX450h.

There are three compact LED projectors on each side, so it's not surprising they didn't implement this feature as it wouldn't make sense.
If you adjust your headlights the "feature" is irrelevant.

It would make sense. My LS with adaptive headlights is much better when turning 90 degrees to other street or on some mountain roads with very sharp turns. I hate Lexus that they did not add this feature for 2016 LX.

True, but with less moving parts and probably the beam pattern providing the same coverage engineers and bean counters were in agreement heaven.
