2009 Lexus LX 570

The 2009 Lexus LX 570 is not particularly distinctive and it’s also one of the top choices for towing. In the case of this massive SUV, the advanced electronic mechanization unquestionably improves the ride comfort, safety, and capabilities. This Lexus is an amazing luxury/utility vehicle, capable of a dash to 60 mph in 6.5 sec, while the quarter mile disappears in under 15 sec at over 90 mph, and all this by a behemoth that weighs over 6000 lb.

The 2009 Lexus LX 570 engineers have calibrated the ABS to be effective on both dry pavement and off-road surfaces. Power gets to the full-time four-wheel drive system through a six-speed automatic transmission. The Lexus can also off-road with the best of them. Hill climbs, rock crawling, sand washes -- nothing slows this machine down. Such off-road ability is due to features like Crawl Control, a three-speed downhill assist that also works going uphill, and Active Height Control, which adjusts the vehicle to three inches above or just over two inches below its normal ride height.

The LX570 offers commanding view, with excellent visibility out the front and the expected limited SUV-like sight lines to the sides and rear. It runs with the best, bearing plenty of attractive, plush materials and standout features. The Lexus LX 570 has an ultra-luxurious interior: The wood, leather, and plastics are all elegant and first rate; the fit and finish are impeccable, also the seats don't fold flat; they fold up and hang in the air.
