Which vehicle should I keep? T4R or LX470

Would love some opinions on my dilemma. I’ve got about the same amount of money in both cars ($20k+): ‘04 Lexus LX 470, 116k miles and ‘01 T4R 4x4 SR5, 45k miles. Which one should I keep? I just bought the T4R sight unseen intending to sell my LX. Turns out my wife hates the T4R. Says it’s way smaller than she thought it would be, seats kill her back, and just feels cheap. I personally love it. My LX is in great shape, no problems with it but I anticipate I’ll be putting a good bit more $ in it over the next few years for regular maintenance - just has more stuff that can go wrong in comparison. Where the T4R just had everything done that was recommended by the dealer including TB and WP. Ny wife definitely wants me to sell the T4R (have it listed currently). I feel like it’s best to keep the T4R against my wife’s wishes mainly because I feel like it will keep it’s value a little better given the extra low miles, the fact that all services were just done and I think I’ll put less $ into it over the next few years compared to the LX. And just know that most every time we go out as a family (me, wife, 5 yr old) we’ll be taking my wife’s car which is a newer Lexus GX460. Thoughts, opinions? I need some outside perspective!!

Well, then if you are anything like me you'll keep both... :bounce:
