You just piqued my interest and I took a few minutes to take a look online at both the 23 Telluride and Palisade. I personally like the looks of Palisade more so spent more time focused there and compared the interior dimensions and specs from Car & Driver's website on my 2010 LX 570. I am absolutely shocked - the Palisade (and I assume the Telluride) actually have more room in almost every category than our LX. The 2nd row has 8 extra inches of legroom! Shoulder room, head room, and hip room are very similar and in most cases in favor of the Palisade. Palisade has 10% more cargo space behind 2nd row than the LX. This is crazy to me. I've been contemplating something different for us - my requirements are 2nd row captains chairs, a more usable 3rd row, and more cargo room when 3rd row is not in use. I would have never even thought to look at these - thought I was going to be looking at Tahoe/Yukon, but this is eye opening. I'm gonna hit a dealership in coming weeks and really take a look. It would drive way better than the LX, get 50% plus better gas mileage, and not "require" premium gas.
I've had our LX for 7 years now and I honestly don't know that I've ever felt like I enjoy driving it around town. I do like it on a road trip though. I bought this because we needed more space than our GX and because I love the legendary reliability history of the LX and Land Cruiser. It has been a great vehicle for us, but I would not classify it as a "hoot to drive".
When I say the Palisade would drive better than the LX, I'm saying that from a perspective of wanting something quiet and luxurious. I don't want or need a true truck feeling experience - I've literally never taken the LX off road other than driving on the beach in the Outer Banks and areas of FL.

I truly enjoy driving it. But yes ultimately it sounds like a crossover is better for you. They drive like cars.

Palisade/Telluride are definitely tops when it comes to interior space. They basically top most of the vehicles in their class and come close to Tahoe in interior space. Even if you look at a Grand Cherokee L which is almost five inches longer, the twins have more second and third row space.

Not sure, I was on the Palisade site under the dimensions and specs and had a separate tab open in my browser of C&D showing my LX570.

I get it. It's not for everyone. To me it's just a hoot because of the massive engine and king of road, invincible feeling it gives you because of its capabilities.
I truly enjoy driving it. But yes ultimately it sounds like a crossover is better for you. They drive like cars.

A Palisade couldn’t be any different than an LX in just about any/every way, lol.
But it sounds like a competent crossover is what OP wants. Palisades are great.

After driving numerous Yukon Denalis and Escalades at this point you couldn't convince me to get an LX. Hats off to GM, they really made these huge SUVs dance with a ride/handling combo unmatched anywhere else in the class. The Grand Wagoneer is my second favorite but GM has the clear lead. Lexus of course likely has the longevity play here but that doesn't mean much to me.

They drive great too, very premium, ride nice and they're quiet. A step above the typical 3 row crossover for sure.

Yukon or Escalade, both sound nice.

Even the Suburban I had in FL last year drove remarkably small for its crazy size
