  • By now, we’re used to testing SUVs with off-road packages. But today, we’re looking at the real deal: the all-new 2024 Lexus GX, redesigned from the ground-up and looking tougher than ever.
    It certainly looks the part of an overlander. Fortunately, Lexus invited us out to Arizona for more than just a “look.” We put this off-road machine to the test. #Lexus #LexusGX #LexusGX550

    Driven the GX 550 and it’s excellent. Customers are lining up for this and will not be disappointed!

    A Lexus G-wagon that won’t break, (my friend’s G was ALWAYS in the shop, he then sold it), gets better MPG, (MUCH better than the 9-14mpg of the G63), and cost HALF the price as the G!! SOLD!! 👌👍. …….did I mention how UNRELIABLE the G was?!? 😂

    If the smaller engine gets worse fuel economy then what is the point when it creates more pollution, by burning more fuel, than a V8?

      More power obviously. Like 48 more horsepower and 150lb ft of torque. Faster and greatly improved towing capability and more advanced transmission. People who are buyers for such vehicles don’t get hung up on fuel economy the way non buyers lose their minds over it.

    • @flurpoid
      @flurpoid 5 місяців тому +1

      Honestly if this motor can be essentially a more reliable version of the Ford Ecoboost motors I'm all for it, since those truly do drive well. Something more mechanically simple like an NA V8 is just gonna be more reliable though, and that makes more sense for the use case of this car to me.

      ⁠@@georgekisselbrock8937, I am sorta in agreement there. Not sure how they can do a Land Cruiser and a 4Runner, they completely overlap. My bet is they continue the 4Runner as is to bridge the gap for a bit, and it fades away.
