Small sample size, but my parents had two fourth gen MDX's and both had recurring AC problems that were never resolved. Even with 3 different dealers and Acura corporate involved, they couldn't fix the issue.

My wife had very similar criteria to yours. She loved the TX but in the end we went with a Grand Highlander for 3 reasons. The upgraded interior didn't feel like it was worth the price bump, we were able to get all of the features we wanted in the Toyota (pano roof, vented seats, pvm, etc...)...

You must be a hit with the ladies...

I don't understand why people are so confused. His son gave him back the 1997 plus some cash and he gave his son his 2018 Silverado.

I'd be interested to hear more about that. I've had a regular 3.5L EcoBoost and now a PowerBoost and both have been smooth and quiet on the highway (they're usually only running 1,200 - 1,500 rpm). What was your experience?

This is why I went with Deere. They all break, but at least with Deere I can get back up and running quickly.

They would wear rapidly if they were actually snow tires. All season tires are fine in the summer.

I looked at close up photos and I don't see a lockout. I have Rockshox but the lockout is pretty obvious. You might want to consider better pedals on a bike that nice. I'm using Crank Brothers Stamp 7 pedals.

I just finished a new build a few months ago. Case NZXT H7 Flow CPU Intel 13700k GPU Asus RTX 4070 Memory Corsair Vengeance 128GB (4x32) DDR5-6400 Motherboard Asus TUF Gaming Z790 Plus Wifi PSU Corsair RM1000x CPU Cooler Artic Liquid Freezer II 360 Storage 2TB Samsung 990 Pro +...

Update: I installed a Thermalright contact frame tonight (this is the pressure bracket you referenced) and re-mounted using MX-6. A multicore Cinebench run came in at max 79C @ 217w. Idling at 32C. If you're idling over 40C I would really look into getting a contact frame.

I have a 13700k in my new build with an Arctic Liquid Freezer II 360mm and it idles between 30-33C. I used the MX-4 that came with the cooler.

Smooth wasn't the problem in the Tacoma. I'm guessing you don't have this issue in the Lexus, but the 3rd gen Tacoma doesn't have a lot of sound deadening so 4k rpm gets old quickly.

This was the problem with my 2016 TRD Offroad. I ended up selling it after only 11k miles (thank goodness for that resale value). Just say the word "hill" and it'll drop 2 gears and start screaming at 4k+ rpm.

Agreed. The sunroof is the worst offender. I've been forced into sunroofs on almost every car I've owned in order to get some other option.

My Outback has the Harman Kardon system, 12 speakers, and a sub. I'm not an audiophile so it's good enough for me.

Fair enough. It's not for me, but my wife likes to drive at altitude so I see what you're saying.

I love wagons. To me, wagons are just a better version of a CUV. Of course there are better off-roaders and faster sports cars, but tell me what a RAV4 or CRV does better than a wagon.

Don't try this in VA. You would be rewarded with a class 1 misdemeanor, a permanent criminal record, and up to 162 days in jail (not to mention whatever the fine would be).

I've been an East-coaster my whole life, so the idea of hauling water is unsettling.
