Default Happy Early New Year to Me!

Congrats on the new ride, Santa came a little late, but I'd say it was worth it!

Congrats. That wrap job looks real nice, but the USB has it beat. Nice find on the low mile F with great options.

Congrats! You should have kept the GS as your daily like I did to offset the mileage

Even better! I was looking at the TRD tundra to add to my collection but God blessed my home with a new arrival so looking at a 7-8 seater to replace the GS. Most likely go with a Highlander, Pilot, or Ascent...but maybe I can talk the frugal wife into letting me grab an LX

Get the LX.

LX is a very good long distance cruiser in comfort. Very smooth and comfy. The only thing is it sucks gas like crazy, especially in city stop and go traffic it gets like 10 mpg if lucky. Highway cruising at 75 mph with 5 people and all the luggage/stuff will be around 18 mpg. Our hybrid RX450h at highway speeds only a bit higher at 24 mpg.

For highway speeds long distance cruising more than 4 hours we take the LX570.

Those are awesome. I wanted to buy one of those or the Tundra version a couple of years ago but the dealers around here were 10 to 15K above sticker and wanted to pay 10k back of trade in for my 4runner. So I am driving an F150 until the next recession and then will try to get a better deal.

Congrates on your new baby! The LX would be amazing but with a new baby and upcoming expenses the Highlander would probably be the most sound choice!.
