AFAIK, the LX does NOT have the adaptive cruise control, and I think that it would be cost-prohibitive to add one, especially if using OEM parts jury rigged together to work. The laser or radar emitter/detector unit alone is about 1700 to 2000 dollars, plus any other parts thatwould be required.

The Adaptive Cruise control reads the distance from you to the vehicle ahead and maintains a constant distance as the car speeds up or slows down. It will also brake and decelerate if another car or object suddenly appears in your lane. I had it on my briefly owned 2005 Sienna - it's a great system! Other Toyota lines also have it.

The LX should have EVERYTHING, no? by gteach26

The lexus LX makes me scratch my head at times.
 
This SUV "should" have EVERY single option known to man.
 
It "should" have keyless entry, adaptive cruise, HID headlights, parktronic, rear camera, FOLD FLAT third row, etc. etc. etc.
 
Instead some of these features are not available. WHY?
 
It does have an expensive "nightvision" option that to me doesn't seem like a very useful item to most drivers. Again, WHY???
 
From all accounts this is one of the best built automobiles EVER made. I've driven it a few times and it is buttery smooth and OOZES quality.
 
Yet looking at it during the car show the other day it just seemed outdated and "forgotten" by Toyota.
 
Why?????
 
Toyota, make it an 80K suv if you have to but THROW EVERYTHING into it!!!!

Because the replacement is around the corner.
 
And it can't have a fold-flat third row because of the solid rear axle -- no room for it.
