- Lexus introduced the second-generation LX for the 1998 model year. Like its predecessor, the LX 470 was a more upmarket evolution of the Toyota Land Cruiser that offered a well-balanced blend of on-road comfort and off-road capability, plus unique exterior styling cues (like quad headlights) and a luxurious interior. The 100-Series LX remained in production until 2007.
- Power comes from a 4.7-liter V8, rated at 230 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque. Output is sent to all four wheels via a 4-speed automatic transmission and a 2-speed transfer case.
