As the title says, due to the craziness with high used car prices I got what I thought was a sweet trade-in offer on my 2014 GX460 and I ended up with a 2014 LX570 with half the miles.

I was biting my nails as the vehicle wasn’t ready for 3 days wondering if I lost out on some features.

Turns out I lost the Blind Spot Monitor and Cross Traffic warning when backing up, not an option until 2016 as I understand it.

The owner’s manual said you can have the dealer unlock the auto high beams, but I was informed that I don’t have the hardware.

The manual refers to both the paddle shifters and auto high beams, does anyone have the auto high beams on a pre-2016 model? Was this option only for non-US LXs?

I have all the options that I can tell, the pre-collision system, radar cruise, cool box, and parking assist cameras.

It sours my decision a tiny but, but I enjoy all the other features I gained and the extra space for sure.

 

I have a 2015 which also does not have auto high beams nor paddle shifter. It is referenced in the owners manual as optional features but I don't believe they were available for the US market at the time. BSW and cross-traffic alerts would be nice to have in a vehicle this size, but the other positives outweigh the lack of those features, at least for me. I went to an LX from a 4Runner V8, which is very similar to your previous GX460, and so far I really like the LX for the extra space, trailer towing ability and comfort compared to the 4Runner.

 

Don’t know about prev gen LX, but have seen paddle shifters in Canada market LX beginning 2016…
