I’ve got a 2014 Ford Expedition 5.4L naturally-aspirated V8. Bought it in 2016 with 20k on the clock. It just turned over to 120k. It’s been very reliable. That was the last year Ford put a V8 in the Expedition and it’s got that very nice, well-balanced feel you get from V8 power. Same as you...backup camera, small dash screen, good sound system, automatic wipers, power sunroof and power seats, no engine-shutoff, beeps when I’m close fore & aft (not L&R though) motorized rear lift gate, simple trip computer (mileage, Trip A & Trip B, change oil alert). Simple dashboard with analog gauges. It was the pinnacle, IMO.
Modern cars with the gigantic screens on the dash really turn me off.
What started me on buying the Lexus was when I could not buy a new Tacoma with a 4 liter V6.
I did not want the 4 cylinder turbo engine.
I briefly looked at trying to buy a 2015 Tacoma. It is the last year they made my exact same truck. Prior to switching to a drive by wire transmission. Which they had issues within 2016 & 2017. Eventually they fixed the transmission, but stopped making the V6 in 2020.
I actually found a couple 2015 Long bed double cab(what I have) with 50K miles. They wanted $25K for them. I decided to keep driving mine with 129K miles. I know its history.
The Lexus is a hard top convertible. They only made them for five years. To compete with the BMW hard top convertibles.
