Get what you want! Still don't know how you are only getting 17ish MPGs in your 4R. I have never gotten less than 20 in 4000 miles. Most tanks end up being closer to 21 mpg and thats daily mixed driving...regulary get 24+ mpg on all interstate trips.:.and I have the Hybrid Nitto ATs tires. What pressure are your tires inflated to?
I have the front lifted 1.5” and Toyo at3 33s load C at about 38 psi currently. Also have the trailhunter arb roof rack which isn’t helping. Lots of stop and go city driving.

Well that answers the 17 mpg there.

To initial dilemma :
I ended up w/ 4r TH and for that $$ could have gotten into a base LC 250.
Besides the looks, and I like both just as much in different ways, I would say the most important difference would be the interior cabin feel. I did not drive an LC, but sat in it many times at dealer with my wife and we both agree it "feels" way more spacious and elegant. Probably due to head room height. Truthfully I just wanted the 4R and we left it at that. All the other pros and cons are small detail IMO. In your case there is the Hybrid difference to consider too.
I see some beautiful LC on the road, but I am 100% content with our decision.

I know I did not answer any questions or help the situation here, but you might convince your lady into a GX550! :cool:

The problem is the LC250 kind of sucks with the 2.4T+Hybrid.



You're way better off with the V6 offered in the Lexus equivalent.
