Yesterday, Lexus unveiled a refreshed 2016 Lexus LX 570. While its “sweeping” new design, 20-inch wheels and an available heads-up display are great other items really stood out to us. We think these changes could easily show up in the 2017 Toyota Tundra.

While each truck had its pros and cons, the big question is which one I liked the best. The answer may surprise you.
