I own one and would never sell it! Best suv, and it last forever! People are afraid of these vs the Landcruiser, but it’s similar with better ride and build quality. Buy it, you won’t regret.

Great machine but lacks some touches you would expect at this price...info computer, steering wheel controls, eye glass holder, readable clock and outside temp.

22 Years Later And Still The Best

I bought it in 2001. It was, by far, the most expensive car I’d ever bought. I was 37 years old. My kids were young. We live in Colorado. We used it for weekend ski trips, vacations in Canada, daily commutes, hockey games, camping trips, etc., I remember driving it over Berthoud Pass alone during a blizzard that shut us off from the rest of the world for several days. It didn’t flinch. I took it on my first White Rim trip and finally used the AHC for its intended purpose. It hauled our boats and my ancient Airstream up and down I-70 and far beyond. Then it became the kid’s starter car. All three kids drove it. It was wrecked a couple of times - but it kept the kids safe. It endured a couple of Rocky Mountain hail storms. The last one totaled it but we kept driving after the insurance payout. We thought we’d drive it in to the ground but it just won’t quit. It left me stranded one time. The car was fine. The ignition key wore out. Unbelievable. Now all the kids are gone, The LX was showing its age but still ran like new and never leaked a drop. I decided to restore it. New paint and new upholstery. It’s amazing. It’s beautiful. I added a rooftop tent. It’s going back on the White Rim in November. The best vehicle I’ve ever owned. We’re Toyota for life.
