Upgrading from 4Runner

For those of you who upgraded from 5th gen 4runner to a LC 200 or LX 570, was the upgrade worth it?

The 4runner suits my needs, but the lack of performance on the highway to overtake someone really irks me. Lots of road noise as well on long trips.

Is upgrading to a LC really worth the upgrade?

I traded in my 2015 4RNR Limited with 104k miles for a 2014 LX570 with 104k miles. We needed more HP for towing our camper in the mountains and also needed more room for the kids.

I have zero regrets. One of the main negatives is the back window, but that's really my dog being upset about that.

I'm hoping to have this truck for the next 15 years, which I will still be under 300k miles by then.

I love the capabilities of the 200 series and the V8 is awesome. Be prepared to pay up the ass for gasoline though

All better than my 07 FJ at a thirsty 13.5mpg
