Gave up RCF for LX570

With 3rd kid, wife’s GX460 was running out of room. Had to upgrade to my ‘ultimate dream car’ LX570. 2017-black/black- fully optioned-47k miles-Lexus certified. Traded in my beloved 2015 Lexus RCF plus some $ to make the number work. Sad to see my ‘weekend rider’ go but ultimately it’s the right decision for the family. 1 day after purchase, drove it on a family vacation trip for 350 miles. Holy cow is it a comfortable ride. Cabin noise level is insane! All the room we gained, kids are loving it. Glad we made the switch. Hope to see 200K+





miles for long time!

Awesome! I’m a big fan of the Land Cruiser and Lex Cruisers. CPO models are definitely the way to go because these trucks last forever and ever.

Saw your post and was jealous of your color combo. White/Red would have been my top choice but wife wouldn’t go for Cabernet interior. Black/Black is growing on me plus it’ll be easier on 3 little kids making a mess. 700 miles driven since Thursday purchase. Seats are SO comfortable. Feels like foam and leather are on a different level compared to wife’s 15 GX. Only downside so far is gas guzzler (averaged 16 MPG on HIGHWAY! cruising around 80 mph), small gas tank (I’m guessing 20 gallons top? I filled up to 18 gallons with 40-50 miles left according to the computer and world’s tiniest cup holder. Looks like 20oz YETI tumbler is the only option. 32oz def won’t fit.
