New “Truck” day…2021 LX570
I’ve been on a list for the new Lexus GX550 for a while. The more I see them being reported on and non publicist, YouTube hype types and real people checking them out I decided it probably wasnt what I was wanting. The search started, decided I wanted a last year production V8 Land Cruiser or LX570 (they share the same J200 platform) from 2021. Some of these are starting to be available low mileage lease returns. In my search the LC are priced above the LX by 7-10,000. I found a CPO 570, exact model “Inspiration” with 40k miles I wanted in Oklahoma City. Left the house weds evening after work and started driving. Mid afternoon Thursday I was heading back home with 1 of about 250 made in Pearl white. All weather Mats and tundra 18”’wheels will be added quickly

Nice! That interior looks really good. More pics of the interior if you can, please.

Would like to gather some of your driving thoughts after a few days.

Congrats on your new vehicle, it is very sharp looking but not what I would consider a truck. To me it's an SUV and I very nice one at that.

Nice! The ultimate luxury SUV, with proven V8 and somewhat depreciated off original MSRP

It ain't no Range Rover, and that's a good thing!

Exactly what I want. I am so tired of a 3/4 ton HD pickup.

The build quality and engineering of the land cruisers are incredible.

They are an aspirational vehicle for me as well.

You'll be looking for excuses to go for a drive. Very nice rig.

New. Just shy of 102k

I paid 73. 2020 4Runner Pro trade in is what made the deal affordable for me

As a CPO it came with a 2/unlimited warranty after the 4/50,000 runs out. For 2200 I bought an additional 3/unlimited so I’m covered bumper to bumper from the factory until 2030. I’ll have over 200k miles on it by then with how much I drive for work and personal stuff

Insanely so. Even though the 200 series shares the 5.7 motor with others. They are assembled in a different factory and even forge the blocks and heads differently than the mass produced

Excellent-looking vehicle, and I really like the red interior trim accents.

New-to-us GX460 owners for a few weeks now and we are loving it.

NICE, I love the white with darkened windows. The interior color scheme is fantastic. A really cool looking vehicle, I'm jealous. Congrats!

I’m curious about the 18” wheels. Why make that change?

It has 21” wheels currently. New Orleans roads will destroy them.
