Opinions on Landcruiser vs LX 570

[codyaustin5]

Looking for some opinions on these 2 vehicles. Looking at probably a 2010. I am leaning towards the cruiser just based on heritage and Toyota badge. The Lexus offers more standard features and offers better service and better warranty. I will not be modding the truck other than tires. It most likely will be certified and Lexus offers better certification than Toyota. They are both roughly the same price so that is not an issue. Any other thoughts? The cruiser offers kdss and Lexus offers ahc.

Despite lack of KDSS, LX570 has nearly similar RTI scores. For me, it is LX because:

1. AHC raises the pitiful breakover angle of the TLC.
2. Mark Levinson Reference Sound system...uber super nice!
3. REAL wood panels...not the cheesy cheapo fake wood on $84k TLC!
5. Quieter for the LX.

But, the biggest problem with the LX is the running board and overhangs. So, IMO, don't expect either to be off-road ready without mods. Personally, i would get LX simply for the Mark Levinson!
