Folks, this is my first post but I have been following the various discussions on this forum since my order/deposit was placed back in June. I've been trying to learn about the LX platform as this will be my first. Lexus. I will be taking delivery of a 2026 LX 600 luxury in the next few days just as soon as the PPF and ceramic coating is applied. My decision to purchase an LX was based on previous experiences with Toyota cars and trucks which have all been well built and reliable. So my question to the community (since reading about the engine issue/recalls) is this, how many LX owners have had a great experiences with this model? Also I'm interested to hear about high mileage units out there without issues.
My background has been in manufacturing and over the last 25 years of building motorcycle wheel chocks and center stands for Harleys and I have had a couple warranty issues over the years. My policy has always been, your fault, my fault, Gods fault or nobodies fault I have always replaced the failed units with a new one, no questions asked. It seams that Lexus has taken this approach. I also think that they might still be trying to understand what's causing the V6 twin turbo engine issues, based on the latest recall of 2024 models. Just curious folks....
thanks for any input.

I've owned 2 LX 600s. A 2022 that I put 31,000 miles on but traded it in for a 2024 due to the recall. I have since put 19,000 miles on the 24.

Now watch, the 2024, which is not part of the 2nd recall (build date 7/24) will get recalled on a potential 3rd recall. Regardless, I'm keeping the 24 until the wheels fall off.

Both ran/run flawless, no issues.

 

120hp per liter, turbo, not allowing 1st gear, and 0w-20 oil.

My guess, all that is potentially problematic.

Change the oil type and programming.

 

there are a lot of other threads dealing with problems but I started this thread to find out about the high mileage units out there without problems.

 

We are nearing 60k. We had one of the first ones when it debuted. We didn’t have engine failure but got the new engine done. The early software issues are gone. We had some rubber stripping get lose by the trunk. The turbo lag i felt with the first engine sometimes i dont get with the second.

We had a 570 before. Wife never drove it. She loves her 600 F Sport.

 

92,000 miles on 2022. Not a single rattle or squeak. New engine at 65,000. I go off-road in Colorado and as solid as ever

 

Agreed. Built like a tank. Not a squeak.

 

Crazy how 92k would be considered end of life for many car manufacturers but just breaking in for these cars. Reason why we continue to be a fan of Lexus. Quality of the build is amazing. I got 45k and a new engine put in from the dealer and running fine.
