Default Is it just me?

Considering trading in my 2006 GS430, the main reason is the road noise. It's so loud It drives me crazy. I Also own a 2005 Ford FX4. Using a decibal reader found my Lexus has almost two times more road noise then my 4X4 truck. is it just me? Thanks!

That doesn't sound normal at all. Have you done any mods? What kind of tires do you have? I recommend you go to the dealer and test drive another GS430 to compare.

You have run flats? How many miles on the tires? That's probably the issue.

I have an F-150 FX4 also, and it's impressively quiet! I also have an '06 Explorer which is VERY quiet.
