I have a Lux+. It doesn't pull and it is super easy to drive. For what it is worth, my wife drives a 10yr old RX450H and I used to drive X3/X5s. While my BMWs might've been a smoother ride, my wife actually prefers my GX550. She gets car sick easily and that hasn't happened in the GX550 and she loves it almost as much as I do.
I've never had a truck before. Never had a body on frame vehicle before. Never drove a car as big as the GX before. I am super happy with my GX. The visibility and handling make it a joy to drive and I day dream about the next time I'm getting into it.
Sure, gas mileage isn't great, but everyone should know that with about a 30 second internet search. I used to live in Southern California and now live in an area with much MUCH cheaper gas prices, so that doesn't bother me. Maybe if I still lived in California it would, but I don't so it's whatever.
If you aren't going offroading fequently, and by that I mean legit offroading, then you don't need the OT. Going on gravel roads, dirt roads... any GX will do that just fine. If you are like me and spending 90% of your time on highways and public roads, Lux+ is the way to go.
