The End of The Land Cruiser and the LX570
#46
I just wish the LX had a little more power or maybe an exclusive engine, not shared with other things, but then again I read an MT or C&D article that made it sound like LX feels torquier than an Escalade, that the torque comes on way lower.
BUT....then again, I've never experienced the 5.7. I know the 4.3 in my LS is literally perfect so I'm sure I'll be fine.

Yep. Lol I get more and more excited by the day to get my '15. But it will be next year and I'm going to have to search/travel for it. I can't believe I wanted an Escalade....just seduced by the looks and power I guess.

I'd say it's about the same, difference between Yukon/Escalade and LC/LX.
The thing is, I'm a fan of GM trucks, but the platform costs half as much.
A LC is $85,000 worth of all of the might of Toyota. Then the Lexus stuff is the cherry on top.

Please not here... This (article on Jalopnik https://jalopnik.com/watch-a-jeep-wr...o-a-1837622157) is just discussed on all Jeep forums :-) Tests like this one do not have much sense. In a more difficult, rocky terrain, the results would be very different. I know why I have my LX as a daily driver and for family trips with some easy/moderate offroading. I have my slightly modified JL Wrangler Rubicon 4DR (2" Mopar lift, 35" BFG KO2 tires) for more difficult offroad trails like Rubicon trail etc. As I am older, I stopped doing extreme trails like Fordyce Creek.
