    If you are towing a 7k pound boat keep the Tundra I have never been fond of towing with SUVs.

    I had my "Cruiser" for 346k miles and loved every one of them, still my favorite of all time. My Tundra is a fantastic truck, but the Landcruiser is Legendary. Sell your other shit, keep the Tundra to tow and buy her the LC. Happy for both.

    I think it's a no-brainer in my book. Tundra all the way. 85k for a vehicle is obnoxious in my world. The 52k I just paid on my TRD Pro will have me reeling and continually reassessing for years. This thing does everything but wipe your **** For 85k it would have to do what isn't discretely able to be described here.

    For your situation it looks like the tundra is a better fit.

    But LCs are badass and if I had the money I’d have one :annoyed:

    Nice family rig there!

    Desperately needs some shocks that can slow that suspension down. 2.0s just don’t cut it on 5k lbs or heavier.

    You’re like the 3rd Tundra guy I know that also has a IS350 LOL. The Tundra and IS350 were mine - wife has a Pathfinder mom mobile.
    Reluctantly got rid of the IS350 for a GS350 FSport - hopefully you all switch over as well LMAO.

    Funny you say that....we have been considering a GS350 F Sport. Hummmmm. Not that I don’t love the IS350, but AWD would be nice in my hood.

    I didn’t want AWD - because I have the Tundra and wife always has a 4wd rig. The RWD is what I love - and Lexus reliability. I LOVED my IS350 - I actually just reached out to the buyer to see how she was doing Lol (car, he was a guy).
    If you haven’t sat/drove a 2015+ GS350 FSport with the Sport++ suspension, boy do I highly recommend it! I was dead-nuts set on a A7/S7/M5. I know they’re completely different animals, but the GS350 wasn’t even on my radar because it wasn’t in the 12’s 1/4. Then I test-drive one, and fell head over heels. It was like upgrading the IS350 I loved so much, Times 5. I always throw on lighter wheels/tires which puts me in high 13’s 1/4 - and although I think I need a 11-12 second car, I still have young grade schooler kids and a really comfy business casual 4 door Lexus in the 13’s just fits the bill perfectly.
    Test drive one! And I’ll apologize later LMAO.
