I still beleive that kx570 is the best.
It has steel springs at all 4 corners. The shocks are adjustable, use nitrogen gas a rubber blatter and hydrolic fluid. The hydrolic fluid is what controls the damping rate. If you want to define it as a air suspension it should not have steel springs, only have air filled rubber blathers and air compressors would be used to support and control the suspension. I think Lexus uses that word sometimes in their marketing information because it's easy or they think it's a good term. Look up what is defined as a air suspension, it's not what we have in our 570's.

Ok...kinda picky with what i wrote. Read my last post before today (#109)...i mentioned hydraulic. Yes, i know what LX has. No need to educate me on that.

And if you think that LX is better than G500/550 off-road, then i have some land to sell you on Mars.

Wow it's been years and several LC/LX's since we have posted. No I don't think the LC/LX is better off road. Based on my needs the LX570 is now the best vehicle for my old tired dumbass . Guess I hate for the LX570 suspension to be called "air suspension" even though Lexus does it in some of their marketing crap. Plus at 66 I have a right to be crabby, and picky. Miss your posting you always had valuable information to share. If I remember correctly you a MD somewhere in Texas?? But like I said I'm getting old and my memory is not getting any better.
