3 zone climate is based on trim level or could be an individual option depending on year according to brochures.

'10-'13 either Comfort Plus Package on a Base, included with Premium or standalone

'14 - '16 Comfort Package on Base and standard on Premium/Luxury

'17+ - Premium and Luxury / no apparent option for Base

I think the 5.9L Cummins is a pretty reliable motor from what I hear.

This place has a lot of videos on Youtube of JDM imports brought in through auction from Japan.

10K$ for the kit to install the Cummins, and that doesn't even include the motor
I am offering my entire HDJ81 truck with the original 1HDT for only 10K$ CAD (about 7.5K$ US). Maybe I should ask for more!!

Not sure I would want to have Cummins 6BT in anything but a purpose built vehicle. It's a very old diesel with only 215HP. A GX with Toyota 4.5L diesel would be nice though.

You'd surely get a taker in the states.

Still searching around, found a few candidates but this one is close to me. I test drove it today. I appreciate your input regarding price, options and general condition:
https://www.autotrader.ca/a/Lexus/GX...a/5_40286949_/

Following my test drive and visual inspection, here are my findings:
- documented rear fender bender. Cost to repair was $1900 (per CarFax)
- slight drift to the right. Not sure if wheel alignment is needed
- A bit of shimmy @ 80 Km/h, wheel balancing is needed.
- Needs new tires
- Ultra Premium package. Verified by checking the accessories and options.
- Looks relatively clean, but got couple of stone chips and
- Not detailed yet, but I am not bothered much.
- The edge of the seats (driver and passenger) are a bit compressed. People were likely rolling on and off the seat rather than getting in and out correctly.
- There seems to be a slight wetness on the LH front KDSS rubber boot.

Cheers,

Set this one free back into the river where it came from.

Thanks for the reply.
Any particular reason/red flags behind your recommendation?

The potentially leaking KDSS would give me pause.
