You should have measured the ground clearance from the middle (transfercase) and/or front diff. The rear solid axle height (clearance) does not change regardless in which height mode you are. There are two type of ground clearance, minimum and running. Many manufacture state running because it gives you a higher number than the minimum like the Ram Power Wagon which has running ground clearance of 13 inches but minimum ground clearance of 8.1 inches when measured from the rear axle.

Okay after 5 reviews of this vehicle and 15 yrs of limo business in DC, I’m going to review/explain this Ultra Luxury trim. “It’s not for private use”. Part of limos is “sedan service” and there aren’t any good sedan service cars anymore which has been a nightmare for limo services. 25 yrs ago we started putting private jet seating in them which is what’s in this LX 600. Those type c’s are DP & charging which means if you’re like 70% of Americans you have KZitem or KZitem TV etc., on your phone because you stream when at home and it’s free to add to your phone, so you’re able to watch tv while riding from 1600 Pennsylvania ave DC to Dulles IA during one of our typical 12-15” snow storms and you don’t have to hold your iPad up in front of your face like a 5 yr old . We sold all our old Town Cars for Lexus LX’s decades ago and then spent another $30k to do what Lexus now does for us from the factory. Robert has 6 of these on order. Why the hell Lexus sent this to all the KZitem reviewers is beyond me, I can only assume it’s all they had at the time. If you’re not familiar with limousines and especially limos in snow country you’ll have no clue what that is, BUT how the hell did you not know what those Type C’s are for and especially from a KZitem reviewer… WHAT!! PS the HDMI is for some Windows devices.

Which after ten months was a damaged cable in the tailgate. The thing that sunk the Rangie was it kept going into limp mode! Not ideal. The.lx just feels solid , and just works I have had no problems with it in the past seven months I have owned it.
