Howdy:
Newbie, just purchased a creampuff here in SoCal with 89k on the clock. Pearl white with black. What a rig these are! Really quite excited! Replaces a stunning '04 LS430 and our 4x4, K2500 Sub.. Thanks Lexus for dreamin such a rig up! Best, RW

 

Congratulations! Enjoy the rig. Post some pictures please.

 

Awesome, looking for a '13-'15 myself. I'm also an LS430 driver but I'll never, ever get rid of it.

I'm very curious how comfortable this LX is compared to your LS430. Overall comfort in ride, way it drives, seat comfort, etc. How does it drive on the freeway compared to the LS?

 

Like your situation, my 2013 LX replaced my K2500 Suburban. I really miss the Suburban as a towing vehicle for my horse and equipment trailers, but at around 75K miles the 'burb began to have pricey mechanical problems with the engine and 4WD system. The LX has 80K miles now, and so far the only expensive problem has been the Mark Levinson amplifier. Other than that, just routine fluid changes and a second set of tires

I did have to add a 2500HD truck for my equipment trailer, though.

 

The 'Burban was better as a tow pig? Obviously, bc it was a 2500?

That's interesting, sorry to hear about your troubles. On the contrary, I have a 1500 Yukon from '03 that is still on original spark plugs and coolant, 128k. Stupid little things are broken but mechanically it's fine.

I've heard the LX is a great tow vehicle, but compared to a 2500 it probably is a little behind.

I try to stay about a thousand pounds under capacity when I tow.
