Yeah I never understood that move, either.

I wonder what kind of MPG the diesel one will get.

Agree! I'm looking to replace my '17 Rebel and this makes it (happily) more difficult to choose.

Its Lexus…Lexus now sucks

No way will Lexus put a V8 in the LX….even the LC uses a 20 year old engine…put a new modern V8 engine in the LC and LX and Make Lexus Great Again 🇯🇵

I saw a Raptor R the other day with a plate that said "8 A TRX".

Clever.

so 1075lb ft of torque but only 430hp.

so what %age of these cancer belching beasts do you think will be used for actual truck things vs. posing bragging rights?

and how many different cheese graters could they fit on the front of it?

you do not speak (we) for all americans.

and i thought ford still sells WAAAAY more v6 trucks than v8?

that might make very little sense if the lx would then be $150k.

How else do you expect people to compensate for their tiny *redacted*? Why do you want to take that away.

Considering it's the power waggon trim I would guess about 10-15% of owners will actually use them past just being a giant commuting item.
