Lexus LX
Some view it a modern-day dinosaur, others think it’s a yacht on wheels. Whatever, the Lexus LX is a quintessential full-size luxury SUV offering a ton of space, a super-smooth ride courtesy of an adjustable air suspension, as well as surprising off-road performance. While not a model of fuel efficiency, the 5.7-litre V8 engine under the hood delivers a strong 383 horsepower and can tow up to 7,000 pounds.
