Wow... didn't see that either. It's 738 ft. lbs. of torque must feel like you're doing 0-60 in 2.1 seconds.

The Lexus GX470 is electronically limited to 113MPH so I guess Lexus agrees with you.

Throw the GX470's electronically controlled suspension to Sport mode and it does pretty good. You definitely feel the firmer chassis and when going over speedbumps throw is back over to comfort and you glide right over them. Never even dreamed of taking it to the limits that I take my 330i though.
