[QUOTE="ME120, post: 1333116, member: 26625"] I will have to disrespectfully disagree with you on this. And I say that very respectfully because it is obvious you know what you are talking about having both a raptor and a LX 570 in your family. The only reason why I do not agree with everything you are saying is because I had a LX 570 demo last October for 3 days. I did a bunch of different activities with the LX, including some light off roading in a gravel pit and taking down some wet rocky woods trails( the dealer was ok with it). I have to tell you that I was impressed how capable the LX is on stock tires and all wheel drive. I did not even need to engage crawl control. I took the LX on one of my shooting sessions getting ready for deer hunting season. And speaking of brakes, I had a deer run in front of me about 1/4 mile from my driveway and the brakes worked phenomenal. I know with dedicated snow tires the LX will outperform the raptor, and the build quality is far superior. I do respect your opinion, but I think some of this comes down to personal preference. As far as handling goes in my opinion the LX handles quite well for a 6000 lbs. SUV. I think one of the things that hurts the raptors handling on snow and ice is center of gravity. It sits to high to feel secure on ice and the fact that a crew cab weighs 5800 pounds does not help and its brakes do not come close to the brakes on a LX 570. If I still have the raptor next winter, I will definitely own Nokkian studded snow tires to help equalize the high center of gravity and poor brakes. [/QUOTE]
