Reliable, but Handles Like a Truck

The solid front axle leads to a less comfortable ride than a modern independent front suspension. The 212hp straight-six could use a little more power to move this heavy vehicle. The brakes are merely adequate. It's performs well off road.

built like a tank

If you are looking for an SUV that all you need is Gas, Tires, Brake pads and no electronics this is it. I owned many many cars from Mercedes, Audi, BMW and other but the LEXUS is in a league on is own...THE MOST REALIABLE CAR EVER....That why many many off road/safari/war zone lovers always look for this incredible Model and year...because they are BULLET PROOF 300k 400k no problem and the Lexus is just an extra nice compared to the Toyota Land Cruiser. They exactly the same car only the Lexus comes with allots of extras.
