Both my LX570 and Range Rover side by side. The Range Rover handles like a car, is just as capable off road, the interior has leather dash and trims, huge brembo brakes, 510hp supercharged. The price is just a bit over the LX570.

You do get more performance from that Rover but you get the longevity out of the LX. I had the TRD Supercharger on my Tundra along with a smaller Supercharger Pulley, Tune and exhaust. It moved out very well. Sad that TRD is stopping production of their superchargers.

congrats.

On the flip side, the current LXs i am sure will have big drops in price
Also, 2019 apparently will be a whole new LX. I imagine that will likely be a turbo v6 or v8 powertrain

Given this post, and looking for a newer LC or LX, I decided to check out Range Rovers...

Beautiful trucks, comfortable interiors, and great handling after a test drive on a scary curvy highway.

Contrast that with lower resale values year for year, not to mention overall reliability v. Toyota products. Since I tend to keep vehicles v. getting a new car every year or 2, I came back to reality and continue the quest for an LC or LX.

I'd opine that a V6, blown or not, is not what I want in a truck approaching 3 tons empty.

There still is NO substitute for cubic inches.
