With a LX570 with all that cladding? Nah...
My daily driver 4th gen 4Runner with the Toytec lift kit would be my go to car if I need to camp and do some mild off roading. It's 13 years, old, bulletproof powertrain and the Galactic Gray paint is faded in quite a few places. Not quite a $#!t car, but pretty close at 197,000 miles - which for this car means I still have another 100k to go easy.

The current LX is most limited by its bumpers. Otherwise it's quite offroad capable (on 18" wheels and AT tires).

I still don't understand why someone buys LX but doesn't need it for offroading. There are many SUVs which are more highway friendly. Body on frame SUV with a solid rear axle can never be the best option for paved roads.

As to the "don't get me started" stuff...please don't get me started on premium gas v. regular in an LX v. a Land Cruiser. You're likely to get the "ethanol guy" back here.
I use 90 or 91 ethanol-free gas, depending if I get it from Sinclair or Chevron...not because of the octane, but because it's ethanol-free.

I bought our '01 LX in 2009, running boards and 3rd row seats were on the truck for a day or 2. The LX became wife's DD when I found our 200 series in 2015. Running boards with lighting rebuilt went back on the LX within the next week.
