I have little experience with Lexus vehicles but I am certain you will enjoy that vehicle very much. I personally would not buy a used Lexus with the intention of keeping it for many years due to the very high cost of maintenance & parts. There is probably nothing you can do yourself other than change the oil and very little your friendly neighbourhood mechanic can do either.

It’s such an upscale vehicle I wouldn’t want to muddy up the carpets!!!

Get a good US built pickup for all your off-road/towing/carrying needs. Cheap parts + maintenance & get fancy wheels to show off once in a while.
