Taking the 2019 Lexus RX 350L on a Solo Road Trip

Living in “the city,” I don’t need a car often enough to own one, but I have to admit: I do miss the freedom you get when you’ve got a car. That’s probably why this year I took more road trips than I took in the previous 5 years combined.

Something about living in America, getting behind the wheel, and just driving somewhere: there’s this freedom, this opportunity, this experience to live as you want, go where you want to go. Road trips are increasingly my favorite way to travel.

So, in this post-birthday November malaise, getting behind the wheel of a brand new 2019 Lexus RX 350L for a road trip out of NYC and upstate to the Hudson River Valley was the perfect way to spend a few days.

While the autumn colors were already faded, driving through the mountains, valleys, and along the Hudson River was still serene and beautiful. Even more so in the comfort of my luxury Lexus rental for the week.

Out to the country on a solo road…
