Cons: Price 
Obviously it will not ride like a car based SUV. Often purchasers in this market are shocked and react negatively to a body-on-frame SUV riding like a body-on-frame SUV.
It is not great on fuel economy.
However, this is your Lexus variant of the 4Runner, with significant capabilities and Toyota's bulletproof, legendary reliability. If I were shopping in that segment, that's my candidate to beat (or a loaded 4Runner - it would be close between those 2 just because of my own Toyota bias).
(ETA: A mid-00s LX remains the nicest, quietest vehicle in which I've ever ridden.)

You nailed my thoughts on it so far.

I would drive one. Guy I work with has one and I like it a lot.
Of course, traditionally, it's also been one of the only ways to get a 4runner without a fricking soviet-styled interior.
