Just ended a cross country cruise in my V8 GX460, what an amazing vehicle, got an average of 21,9 MPG. Last year I did a similar trip in my 2022 Tundra 1794 with twin turbo V6, it never cracked the 17 MPG. Still love the power, but don't fool yourself and believe you'll get great MPG with the twin turbo.
I mean… Having driven both vehicles extensively, I was averaging just over 20mpg in the 1794 after driving several hours home in mixed use from this event. (I used eco mode, which was fairly painless). I’ve never in my life seen a current gen 460 crack 20mpg.
Problem with the "NEW" way of doing eco vehicles, is some of us like the power and to get it from a smaller engine with a turbo, we use lots more gas to get that power lol. Can't wait for the 70-80's to be over with again so we can get more v8's!!!!!
I think I'll stick with my 2007 with adjustable suspension set high and one x oversized tires I'm at 10.9 gnd clearance vs 8.3😢 and approach and departure angle 30/29 vs 26/22 🤢 and finally I love my removable 3 row seats. Can fit a full queen blow up mattress in the back. Maybe the diff lock would make it the GX 550 better after you spend enough to get it higher off the ground . For under 30k you can get a cherry 2009 with all the best mods.
I actually think the GX 460 rides quite well for what it is, and prices on them are falling right now. We’ve had our eyes on one actually. You’ll probably overpay for a 570 since it’s a Land Cruiser underneath
@@jax1079 I will drive them both. It’s had to ignore the LX’s quality, even at three years old. I’m in it for the long run, so I don’t mind paying a little more up front. Thanks for the reply. I enjoy your content.
Lexus really knocked it out of the park. I didn't like the model during the launch event, but seeing it in this setup changed my mind about the car. If you compare the G Wagon interior to this, I would say Lexus is very close. The infotainment Screen in the G Wagon isn't even this large.
The problem with interior you are sharing is monochromatic color scheme. For luxury I want more glitz and color palettes inside, and wood and aluminum.
I think the luxury trims will have a little bit more presentation while the Overtrail trims are more functional. It’s kind of the same problem as the TX: the quality is really nice, but it doesn’t come across in photos and videos as well.
@@josephsaric401 I disagree. Minor? Sure, but in a vehicle of that size having an entirely separate climate control zone is unnecessary from both a size and practicality standpoint. It would be more egregious on a vehicle like the TX than the GX.
@@mikelaughlin270 uhhhh fella allow me to explain how climate zones work since you are clearly incapable of understanding even the most simple of things. Driver zone 1. Front passenger - zone 2.

Only in the third row. Second row is FAR roomier. Just had the new Platinum TRD Off-road trim on a road trip to Disney, and it was GREAT…. as long as you only use two rows 😜
The GX 550 will have a hybrid option, I saw that in a video a few months back but not many people seem to have gotten that info. the base engine puts out 349 hp, the hybrid version will have 409 hp, if i remember correctly. the GX looks fantastic, my only complaint from Toyota is that the LC didnt get this same engine options. I find it weird that the LC would have the same engine as the Taco and the next gen 4runner. The position of a high end 4runner would overlap the low end LC trim levels in pricing, so why not give some distance between the 4runner and LC.
@@jax1079 now that i think about it, i think that is a good guess. I think they are going to make it a 2 door and 4 door version, they said they want to take on jeep and the bronco, both have 2 doors.

Thanks. My son is 6 ft 1 and daughter is 5 ft 9. We would opt for one of the models with a 3rd row most likely. The TX is more practical but the GX design is so much better. I do like the new Gen Sequoia but the tiered cargo setup is a dealbreaker for me. Not sure why Toyota did that.
@@njt7117 Totally understand. I’m 6’6” and my girls are 6’1” and 6’. One of them can drive, though, so we’re rarely in the same car at once. The Sequoia has a compromised cargo area to clear the live rear axle and make space for the battery pack since it’s hybrid max only. Honestly, since we don’t have young kids anymore, I don’t mind the reduced cargo space as much. We’re coming from a Suburban and just don’t need all that room anymore.
GX is the looker and offroad capable, for most everything else the TX is probably the smarter choice. More interior space for passengers and cargo, definitely more fuel efficient, F Sport trim has the dynamic steer assist shrinking the turning radius and also improving driving dynamics. GX still looks way better though!
What’s really unique? My 2022 4 Runner limited has a sliding rear window, comfortable interior, and a proven record regarding reliability. Why buy a GX 550?
Well, you wouldn’t. You could make that argument about literally anything with similar features that’s practically brand new, but the 4Runner and GX aren’t even in the same price arena. That question would be more applicable to the new LC than the GX.
Between 100-125K miles under normal road driving is what turbo manufacturers predict. If you live in extremely cold environments or in extremely hot environments that will decrease turbo lifespan, also if you drive hard and then turn the car off right away without letting it idle for a minute to let the oil cool the turbo that will decay the turbos life aswell.
@@ShinobiTekken Life expectancy of a turbo is generally the life of the engine. That's quite a long time for a Toyota. Use a good synthetic, change it regularly and it should go 200k+.

If you're a person driving around with kids and "going to Disney" the sequoia or the TX would be perfect for you! I once overheard a salesperson asking a woman why she was interest in a four-wheel drive vehicle and her response was that "sometimes when she takes the kids to baseball practice she had to park on the curb"! RICULUOUS!
Haha! I get it. And we DO love to go to Disney... but we also fortunately live an hour away from the beautiful north Georgia mountains and all their glorious forest service roads. Not to mention the GX looks killer. It will be the GX for us, but I do have a soft spot for the Sequoia TRD Pro model...
Finally a vehicle we can sink our teeth into. Not some silly college freshman Subaru. Or some juvenile teen Civic variation. For you and Mrs you should buy one of these or that new Toyota Land Cruiser. Don’t even think too hard. Unless you want wait for 4-Runner because you know price.
I’ve been begging for 4Runner info, but they’re keeping that one close to the chest. All I know is it’s coming within the next year… but that’s about it.
I just got back from Japan two weeks ago and one of the engineers showed me 2 sketches of the new 4Runner. It's definitely worth waiting for. It is a game changer for sure.
Really? Everyone likes the way it looks? I love the lines, but that front end is just a disaster. One of the biggest things I hope Toyota/Lexus get away from are those stupid plastic "tear drops" under their headlights. They look so tacky and cheapen the overall look of all their vehicles.
It will be interesting to see how the tinny engine stands up long term - The previous V8 required not maintenance and would last forever and that is why I like Lexus as they are reliable. I have concerns that with this engine reliability is going to take a hit that is the only thing making me take the plunge....
3.4 liters isn’t small for a V6, especially one with twin turbos. I’ll take 479 lb-ft of torque any day of the week. I’m confident Lexus wouldn’t toss decades of impeccable reliability and quality aside casually. I imagine these turbo engines will be among the most reliable currently produced.

We literally had a window of about thirty minutes to film, but whatever
@@jax1079 How about you do not film your mug and just film the car and tell what each button is for , be much useful than just reading the script that normal do not give a fk.
@@skhochay Thanks for the advice super cool internet guy. You seem like a real winner. I will be sure to not follow your advice in any way and continue winning at life. Have fun making pensive faces in sunglasses as your profile pic. I bet you're just the coolest dude ever.
@@jax1079 you want to hear you the best you rock, but no this video just suck. We want see what this car is capable - you did not show nothing , just go and count how much you in the frame vs car under a weird angle, show car suspension lower it raise it , do the engine wrooom noise. People do not care to see you in the "lingerie" it the car we want to see. this is not a podcast this is video about the car then show the car!
Pressure the Japanese to stop hunting whales by not buying their vehicles.

Lexus GX 550 too expensive, thx I will get NISSAN PATROL, WILL EAT THIS LEXUS FOR BREAKFAST!!
You do you, bro

NISSAN
$62k to start with is expensive for this type of SUV? Either you are still stuck in the 80s or you can’t afford it. What I mean in affording it means pay cash in full. I just wrote a $52k check on my wife’s tiny 2024 NX350h and I didn’t even flinch.
@@jml9550 Wow. Tell us more...
