Right, 90% of the reviews I've seen are the PP off-road.
I'm awaiting a proper towing test from The Fast Lane Truck/Car channel.

Would be wild to tow with it imo… anything over 3000lbs

We shall see soon enough. I'll be towing close to or over that soon.

I'll be well below 5,000 lbs.

I really liked my friends Tacoma. Especially the engine and coil sprung rear axle / handling. I agree the motor is hands down an improvement over the 4.slow.

What’s the actual upcharge for a GX vs the LC? Gotta be pretty close in price, no?

:like:

Makes a lot of sense. I was actually quite surprised with how pronounced it was... I drove about 3 different lightnings but never on the freeway at speed. And I find that quite deterring for a long term road trip over less than great roads etc... then again you can't really long range road trip an ev like the lightning comfortably due to charging reasons, as it adds 30% to the travel time
We're going to be making the trip to Syracuse from Ohio probably in late July for IVF shit. Considering taking the not a :truk:

ABRP is saying 8.5 hours of driving, 1:20 of charging. Doesn't seem hateful? Debating whether I want to even risk. It would basically be get up early, drive all day, stay in a hotel, procedure in the morning, drive all the way back the next day.

The overall ride comfort, NVH, and space are better than the RDX. Blue Cruise helps a lot putting those kind of hours in.
IVF is stressful AF without any other things to worry about. Take the Acura.

Yeah. I mean I’d say blow the budget and get what you want. But this will be :plac: in 18 months.

Nothing that I want is less than 100k and or could take me to work at less than a $1 per mile

I had the same issue with the accord. Didn’t actually want it but needed it and it fit the budget.
