    It depends on your motoring needs. For an extreme-duty tank they'd be as good as most

    Don't the new LX470s feature that unique 'kinetic' suspension system?

    Actually, you forgot the question mark at the end of the first sentence, so no, you didn't properly edit the sentence. You welcome

    I'm not overly familiar with the car beyond looking up stats, sorry. But just out of curiousity, Biggie, is your user name in reference to Biggie Smalls? I only ask because I'm a diehard Tupac fan, and "Hit em Up" was my iPod alarm this morning... no hate intended

    It depends on wether on not you need the extra interior goodies the lexus offers over the Toyota Landcruiser Amazon, because technically, they are the same car. They are both brilliant off road and make good luxury SUV's. If you want a better interior spec, go for the Lexus but if it was me I'd save some money and go for the Landcruiser for off-roading.

    It'd make more sense to edit your first post to put that in. Also, it's "you're".

    Technically AFAIK that Kinetic suspension system I mentioned is a Lexus exclusive and not shared with the Landcruiser

    Ah, yeah, overlooked that suspension. There are rumours that it'll be available for the upcoming new Landcruiser but if I was looking to choose between the two (and it has been considered, to take to Pakistan) I'd take the Landcruiser. Less to go wrong and more chance of getting it repaired in hostile areas, along with that extra saving. The Landcruiser is a proven off-road beast, I don't think the KDSS is really needed.

    There'd be much more complex componentry in an LX470 (or indeed Landcruiser) than the kinetic, which does offer benefits for both off and on-road use

    Seen their website?

    (Lexus use the simplest RFS)

    Kinetic have yet again proven the reliability and functionality of its suspension technology with kinetic equipped Mitsubishi Pajero Evolutions taking 1st and 2nd place in the worlds longest and most unforgiving motorsport event, the Dakar rally.

    "Not one component had to be replaced during the event" said Kinetic MD Andy van Kann. "a win in the Dakar is essentially the ultimate validation of the technology for off road endurance racing"

    spruced up toyota with a BS price tag. Comes with a dumpload of features but re-sale is really shit. We valued one a year back that was two years old with low k's and bought it in for $60K but its new price was $140K.

    The Kinetic system appears to be brilliant, I'd love to try their full system.
