Well I have been thinking of buying an off road vehicle and I went and demo the Pathfinder,4runner,Durango,S-10 Blazer,Explorer,Expedition,Yukon and non of them sold me on their performance,then I came across a Lexus LX-450. WOW!!! what a difference it made,I drove it on the road at 70 mph and it was very smooth, no noise, very solid. I went and follow a small convoy of vehicles which included the Jeep Grand Cherokee,2 Chevy z71 trucks a Yukon and a v8 Jeep Wrangler with 35" tires.Well my Lexus went thru all the places that the Wrangler went thru including MUD....the Chevy,Yukon and the Grand Cherokee did NOT go or did Not made it thru the MUD!

Bought the SUV used with 60,000 miles, now have over 130,000. This SUV is outstanding in the snow, got thru many snow storms in Vermont safely. Not one major mechanical problem, normal oil changes, tires, brakes. Had the transmission oil changed and emissions repaired @ 120,000 miles. All electronics work excellent. Superb stereo. Some wear on leather front passenger seat. Expect to put on over 200,000 miles without any problems. Reliable, safe great SUV.

We love to drive this suv on the freeway, and on long trips, it is quiet and comfortable. No problems, we did have to order big tires, with difficulty when we were on our way to Nebr., no dealers in the midwest, but easy to get back home. We do love Lexus vehicles and this is one of the first SUV's from them, and one of the best.
