Hello!

I recently purchased a 2006 Rx400h- ironic, since I had a 2006 Hybrid Highlander two years ago and traded it for a series of gas guzzlers!

Anyway, am new to this forum and just saying hello to all.

why the move from toyo to lexus? isn't it really the same suv with just more luxury?

.

i got around 20 km a liter when i drove a civic 5 spd using advanced hypermiler techniques
and now I drive a salvage nwh20 prius that gets almost to 25 km/l with 195,000 km to date.

Actually, the Toyota has some better features- third row rear seat and opening rear window. But I made some business moves that resulted in trades for bigger SUVs in the company, the last was a QX56.

The Lexus is a nice vehicle, with a quieter ride than the toyota in my opinion.

Congrats on the Lexus. That's a nice ride.
Just wondering what kind of tire pressure do you run in the tires and what is the max sidewall?

I'm wondering if running at higher air pressure makes much of a difference in the RX.

Question Re: New to the forum

I'd like to add BlueTooth to my Toyota HiHy ...

Can you confirm that your '06 Lexus H has it? Do you have any information on how it is hooked up? I'm hoping to find out what I can add to mine to activate BlueTooth.

Thanks!
DJ
