2022 Lexus LX 600 F Sport Handling: Too much is never enough

I HAVE little sympathy for buyers of the 2022 Lexus LX 600 F Sport Handling. Anyone dropping six figures for one of these dazed mammoths will get their money’s worth. May the Hotshot real estate agents who buy you never find a parking spot. May barn owls shame Courtney’s open sunroof while she takes riding lessons.

Based on the freshly redesigned heavy-duty Toyota Land Cruiser SUV and fueled by global trophy culture, the LX 600 F Sport Handling transforms an already unlikely creature – a body-on-frame SUV with locking diffs and a solid rear axle – into a fantastic one Vehicle Beast of Human Folly: a chauffeur-driven luxury 4×4, with performance mufflers and 22-inch wheels, wielding a huge and maddening seven-bar chrome grille. That’s not me.
