I located an NX but passing. I expressed myself incorrectly. In short I saw what I like and it’s available but I can’t push the button.

I simply asked for a 2nd fob and they quickly gave another to me. Lexus has been good about that. Toyota dealers less so. Didn't know it was a thing till I started seeing it complained here after I bought mine.

Modern Spare has been discussed at length in other threads. Carry on trips, leave at home for usual local commuting.

Hi.. and thanks for replies/encouragement. It’s not over. I’m looking into the spare kit. We like the NX. Compared with GLA35 it is all around is superior.

We looked at all the hi end small SUVs and still bought the NX for the Toyota longevity, and the 350h mpg is a great bonus. The middle GLA was enticing, but any repair bill would have soured us pretty quick. We will keep the NX for 10-15 years, 300k+ miles, like all our cars. Good luck with your decision.

Only have the 350h Premiere over a week and I was fearing the run flats. But very upside surprised at ride quality and noise level. Though I have the 18”

Run Flats are fine... feel confident with them.They're on several of our cars. I swear by them. Enjoy your h. Good luck with it.

Modern Spare LLC says spare kit will not fit in the 2024 350 Luxury compartment under the cargo floor. What options are there other than leave the kit loose in the cargo area…and that is dangerous as anything not secured becomes a projectile. I’d like to figure it out. I like the NX. It would be my first Lexus.

Use heavy duty tie downs to anchor in the cargo area so it doesn’t fly in an accident. Doesn’t solve the space usage problem but helps the safety issue.

I knew the NX350H does not come with a spare from the get go. So we checked out the RX350h as well (comes with spare).
Still I decided to save the $12K+ and get the NX350h. If spare tire is a big concern, you may want to consider the RX350h.

RX vs NX... It's the dimensions we're interest in. This will be my wife's ride... smaller footprint is better for her. How long of a wait for the 350h I don't see any on the lot..... I want the NX within a few weeks.

I waited 4 weeks to get the color combo my wife wants. She also wanted the NX size. Don’t know your location. But There are plenty of NXs in the S. Cal area where I bought from. I am in the SF Bay Area.

There's a few fully loaded Luxury's if I want to travel an hour. We're going to see if anything is incoming locally and we'll put a deposit on it. Currently in Pa. outside of Phila. As for color I'm fairly flexible on this one. It's not being garaged. I like the Cloudburst as it's staying outdoors. If we ordered it would be Red. The NX looks real good in Red.

Yes, yes it does look good.

@Sounds It won't fit under the rear cover in my 2023 450H+ either, even if I gut the extra crap.
I guess the real question is when was the last time you had a flat? How often do you have flats?

If you are prone to frequent flats then I would be concerned about having a spare. We have one vehicle to split between us. I went with the Modern Spare and it sits in the garage. With the Run Flats we figure around town we can make it home or to a garage to repair. Whenever we go long distance we throw it in the rear cargo area. It's bagged and heavy. I really don't believe it will be rolling around or flying very far. Should an accident happen, nothing else in your vehicle is tied down that weigh a lot less that become flying missiles so I personally don't worry about tieing it down. I have been driving since I was 16 and I'm almost 69 and I've NEVER had a flat but I've always had a spare tire and have even paid money to have a good one. So it goes back to my 2 questions, When was the last time you had a flat and how often do you have them? You decide what's best for you and your family.
