#Lexus #LX600
The repair bill from a minor front end collision would be significant without a separate functional bumper. I don't like the trend for the integrated front grill/bumper in these newer vehicles, regardless of the aesthetics.
True, also it looks ugly tbh
The approach is compromised
@@dawsac2335 yup. The ugly part of an otherwise handsome vehicle.
Just don't repair it. It's that easy
The plastic airdams and bumpercovers on new "4WDs" are too vulnerable, IMO.
I'm fabricating some high-clearance, steel, receiver-hitch bumpers for my Crosstrek this year. I still want siped mudders, rockers, and a rear diff-locker too. It already has skids, taller ATs, and a winch.
I may put a removable tire-swing on the rear bumper.
I don't understand why Lexus doesn't offer factory triple lockers on the LX600 in North America like they do in Japan. Land Cruiser fans will at least take that into consideration and potentially migrate to the LX series. Maybe in a couple of years, Lexus will bring the triple locked version with standard 18" wheels and dechromed trim to the US as an optional "Off-Road" package.
I believe they're trying to push the US offroaders to the new sequoia. Yes it's bigger but has the power, frame, a rear locker and the new electronic goodies.
Because the people that buy an LX600 don't know what those words mean.
I suspect they will in a year or two
@@PiknP99 🤣
Maybe cause it's mostly like a soccer mom car rather than being built as an offroader.
No one will EVER take this offroad. Sounds like a challenge, haha! I've seen $90k LC200's drive off the lot to the shop for lift/wheels/tires/bumpers and straight out to wheel. I'm sure someone is gonna do the same with this since we can't get the new cruiser here.
200 is better than the lx btw
Not having the LC300s in the US is a thing but the LX is always a fancy land cruiser so off roading a lexus is common especially for me some one who lives in saudi arabia
@@dexterrr9163 I would agree with that, both from the standpoint of it being more offroad worthy off the shelf, easier to mod and I'd guess will be longer lived. The 5.7 is legendary from a reliability standpoint
People say the same thing about the Lexus GX460. Drove ours right off the lot to the trails!
I'd love to see it performing in a real off-roading situation. I'm sure it wouldn't disappoint in any way!
We need that camera system on the next 4Runner.
The new 4Runner does have front and side cameras, but not the ones of the new Land cruisers where you can see the tires
They only put in the 2022 pro. I would be mad if they only put in the top trim for next gen
*Land Rover* tried leaving the chat but broke down
*G-wagon* has left the chat
*Grand wagoneer* has left the chat
@asdad asdasd Funny you should say this. Toyota sells globally about 400k LC's per year (79, 200 and 150-series). I would say plenty of people are buying 100k Toyota's because they know it is the most reliable and longest lasting SUV on the planet.
@asdad asdasd what ? Not true at all. So according to you Toyota will not sell one of these right ? Cause their customers are broke?
@@electrikoptik the only thing reliable on a Toyota is the rust
@@9663mu Wait a year then show me this Lexus along a Wrangler or a Bronco on the trail . YOU WON'T SEE THAT EVER HAPPENING ! The G Wagon is a much more capable off roader than this whale but do you see people using G Wagons like they use Jeeps ?? Nope not in America and not in Europe
@@johnssmith4005 are you really comparing A jeep wrangler and a Ford bronco to a Lexus LX 600? Two cars that were specifically made to off-road you think that’s a fair comparison to the Lexus?
ANY vehicle could drive that road
I’d like to see a lowered Corvette do it.
Any vehicle can go off road. Not many survive.
Yeah my 08 manual Corolla could tackle that. But then again the mighty Corolla ain't no ordinary car.
@@geosync9742 I was thinking my 07 manual 2door civic could probably make it too 😂
@@user-tb7rn1il3q I’ve taken my Thunderbird more off-road than that. Wish Ford still made them!
That upper display looks like a tablet that was slapped onto the top of the dash.. 😐
I agree... the whole middle just looks like an afterthought. I have never liked Toyotas interior design
Yep, looks really bad IMO
It won't take long. There are already a few people out there cutting all the Lexus off to make it functional.
Let's be honest. Just watch TFL if you want to take your living room off road.
The Lexus needs a Samsung 52 inch Smart TV to close the deal.
What some people don't realize is that one day you can find yourself in a precarious position where you are wishing you had one of these. That happened to me on two occasions where my AWD car barely made it through. Once was during a very bad snowstorm and the other during the summer right after a strong thunderstorm had flooded out the highway. In both those instances I left my home under one set of conditions only to later find myself in something very different.
Things like you described happen once in a decade. Not really a good reason to buy an overbuilt car. The good reason is if you just want it like I want an Offroad Pro package X164 GL even though I don't have family or friends and don't like hiking or fishing or whatever I might need that low range for.
It’s nice that you have three screens to look at. They give you something to watch when you drive off the road and die trying to operate the controls...
Yes. I don't imagine people driving through Africa, watching lions, in this POS.
@@markspence3750 POS...wow...ur kuhl
Am sick of every person reviewing the Lexus LX570 and LX600 saying no one takes it off road,,, Go to Arabia they take them off road straight out of the dealership
Whats funny LX/LC we always offroading it even with factory body kits here in saudi arabia idk why ppl in the US not offroading it its a landcruiser after all enjoy it
I think my only problem is the lack of split tailgate. That's a big bummer imo
Why do you like it? Makes it harder to reach deeper trunk areas and it's painful when you lean on lower tailgate with your legs.
@@ldmtag I love sitting on it and using it as a table surface when camping. It's easy to fold it up when reaching in
I agree with Alex, it’s why I switched to the BMW x7 M50i
Why doesn't Toyota bring in a lesser spec LC? Then people will use them off road and not risk dirtying the carpets and leather!!
As i know the older LC200s selling used at around 90k dollars and the new lexus at 105 this small diffrence is why they stopped the LC because theres no price gap to really makes you say i think the LC will be better for me! ur paying alot so a small add on for some one capable it will be better here in saudi arabia the new LC300 end around 140kUSDs with the GR model wich is alot and what the roumers say the lexus starts at around the same price of a GR LC wich is the highest option spec yet
Great to see it off road! if I end up buying one and replacing my land cruiser with it I’ll absolutely take it off roads as others do with the lx 570 today.
Can’t believe they dropped the split tailgate. Might be a knee jerk reaction but it is a deal breaker for me.
What use did you have for it that is so important? I think they are very cool and can be handy, but wouldn’t consider their omission to be a deal breaker if I was in the market for this sort of vehicle.
@@ALMX5DP I use it as a table in the field. Great for a seat too. Specifically, I set my shotguns and shells on the tailgate while I reload during upland hunts. It was a feature that made the previous LXs/LCs more like a Range Rover and less similar to a GLS or X7.
@@johnrossgardner that does seem like a pretty good use. I think the X7 has a similar split tailgate as well so could be a pretty nice alternative.
I absolutely agree. That alone puts the 200 above the 300 for me
@Alan I change my kids diapers on my current one when we're out and about 😁
would love to replace my 4runner with something like this in the future. can't wait to see how the new sequoia will be like
Me too
I was in East Africa for the holidays and saw the beautiful new 300 series land cruiser. I was disappointed to hear that they won’t be in the US but at least we have this!
I would take this off-road the first day I swap to 18” wheels and K02s. And I buy new. Did the same with my new Land Cruiser 200, 100, and 60.
Proud third owner of a 200 series LX570 who drives off road!
The screen looks like the designed the 6” inch one and then realized they forgot a bigger screen so they just slapped another on top of the dash
I appreciate the traditional gear selector
Another thing I don't understand. I'm serious. Automatic is not a manual. You don't shift anything moving that lever. Why yall like automatic shifting levers so much? It's especially funny considering how most car enthusiasts hate things fake engine sound. Than why you like fake gear lever? I don't get it. Especially in case with Ram TRX and Ford Raptor: why making a lever when the base trucks have different style shifters. Buttons or rotary diles are so much more honest
@@ldmtag Easier to feel what drive mode you're going to. Feeling the shifter click back and forth is much easier than having to look down to make sure you're pressing the right button.
@@ldmtagmechanical gear lever last longer than a electrical knob or buttons.
@@acemandave7726 I'm pretty sure even the buttons will outlast the rest of the car
Not a fan of the grill. Like the land cruiser heritage grill better.
I think the new land cruiser comes with optional front and rear locking diffs as well. Will that be an option on the Lexus?
It is in Japan...

Stupid amount on Toyota tax in that list price, friend of mine in Australia just bought a landcruiser 300 GR and it cost him 140K Aust list, he had it a week and some dude in Sydney offered him 40K over list to but it from him. He sold it on the spot, he wasn't happy with it as down there he only engine choice is a 3,3 v6 diesel, and is now looking for a Troopy to convert to an overlander/camper, they do flip top camper conversions on them in Oz. Look up 4x4 Overland on here, that guy is also doing that conversion and blogging the build. Wish we could get the 70 Series here in the US, simple, indestructible and comes with a 4.5 v8 tubo diesel, my cousins down there all have them.
Making the grill black minimizes the grotesque look.
Truly a Magic carpet ride
Dude sounds exactly like the shame wizard from Big Mouth lol
These new LX600 are fantastic. Im sure there will be folks who modify these after a few years when they show up on the used car lots.
Question: this has an electronic hand brake. Does it auto-disengage when put into drive or something?
I off-road in my 85k Land Cruiser. I’d take that offroad without hesitation!
Give us the simple Troopy!
Andre and Nathan would have had that Lexus scooting up that hill .
I love when you guys take these very expensive vehicles off road... only TFL the best on UA-cam!
The vehicle is sick but WAAAYYY too expensive.
I want lots of people buying these so I can pick one up later
Why do you act like this is a $400k Ferrari. People buy these and indeed take them off road! Is it expensive? Yes. Is it a 400k exotic? No, you take it off road.
$100k isn’t that expensive these days (as long as the dealer doesn’t tack on another 20k).
Still 2.5x the average new car price. That’s pretty expensive.
@@ALMX5DP that’s true but nowadays F150 Lariat costs the same due to mark up lol
@@jackz4149 well then I'd argue that it too is pretty expensive.
I don't like the price and it's too much. I also think it should be equipped with V8 Twin instead of V6 twin at this price on F model.
I would love to see an Off-road version, like a J301 perhaps 😎
There's GR Land Cruiser with 3 differential locks. Already exists
Did i hear you say that Saudia Arabia (which sits on an ocean of oil) gets a hybrid and we don't?? That makes a lot of sense.....
Nice! As a matter of fact, many of off-road ppl use luxus and take it to the maks here in Saudi Arabia. Thanks for special vids you make man!
265 tire for 409 HP truck i think it need 285 or 295
I wonder if crawl control is as good as previous generations? Being all but silent now compared to the box of hammers on a washboard, something dramatically changed with the way it works.
Do an mpg and drag race next!
Seen one on the trails with a brand new land cruiser at Turkey Bay OHV , we were blown away an talked about it the rest of the day haha.
ok I repeat lx 450 is land cruiser NOT lx 600
lx 450 is the Prado LC
@@legrosroger No, LX450 is the Lexus badge version of the Land Cruiser 80 series. The last of the solid axle Land Cruisers wagons and the last Land Cruiser that you can get triple lockers from the factory. Lexus versions of the Land Cruiser Prado are the GX470 (LC Prado 120 series) and GX460 (LC Prado 150 series).
That front bumper is just asking for a CBI or Victory4x4 treatment😂
I have a Land Cruiser 200, my third LC. I use it a lot in Baja California and a do see others doing the same. So there are some owners who will take these vehicles offroad. It's just too bad Toyota won't sell the new 300 series in the US.
I have a lexus ls and I love it but I'm looking to upgrade and get a luxury off road suv. I will primarily be doing street driving but I want to have an suv that can go off road if I want to go camping too.how do you think this compares to other luxury off road suvs like the land rover or jeep? what would you recommend for a offroad luxury suv
What’s the difference between a mudflap and a beef curtain?
Any ideas how to place order? My local dealer in FL said they don't take orders yet and ETA is unknown which might be in April
It’s not a truck. A truck has a bed. This is an SUV.
I wish Toyota/Lexus would have designed a more functional protective front/rear bumper? Absolutely no native protection in the bumpers whats so ever? For such a capable vehicle like this that has such offroad capabilities, a real metal bumper with protection and functionality would have been ideal?
Japan are stating a 4yr waiting list for the Toyota LC. What's the news on Lexus? I'm guessing if it's less they are prioritising the Lexus
This lx 600 same price to 2023 sequoia trd pro?
Come to GCC and you will see alot of after market offroading fitted on it
Call me when you get to take it out on a non Toyota course of TFLs choosing, but still appreciate the footage
👑 just need to watch UN, USA military, drug cartels, middle eastern OPEC and Militia, white supremacist etc... they all drive Land Cruisers
That's a nice rav 4 (upscaled Version)
Basicly. Welp back to 4R
why no hybrid option?
So Crawl Control now works in 4 High?
Great question. Probably not. Roman isn’t a Toyota fan and doesn’t really know much about them. Like the LX he just filmed go up the hill in front of him had the no cost option 18inch wheels. You don’t have to get 22s.
Yes
@@jd2plus2 that’s new. Multi terrain select should work in HI. Crawl Control was only 4LO.
I'll stand by my previous statement, the more expensive the vehicle, the slower you guys drive them. This $100+K vehicle your driving off-road at less than a walking speed, by my observations at a price of 300K you'll be "driving" imperceptible slow, essentially, standing still...no Mr Majestyk for you!
Have you seen how slow the mars rover is? Theory confirmed. That thing is expensive!!
Any idea of approach/break over angles in the high mode?
I love the spindle Lexus grill on the SUV
When you guys say nobody will take these off-road you’re just wrong. Get into any 2nd home area outside of a metro area and people are using stuff like these to get to their 2nd homes that are definitely in the mountains and on un-maintained roads that are miles long. These roads cross streams, get washed out frequently, are muddy etc. I have a little cabin more than two miles down a private road and it’s surrounded by million dollar properties and nobody wants to pay for upkeep.
Beautiful scenery. Where is that?
Santa Fe, New Mexico. Regards
@@anengineer_ thanks
I don’t like how they just stacked a screen on a screen. Looks like an afterthought.
Are we going to act like the last land cruiser wasn't super expensive too? I would not say this is a new phenomenon.
Suggestion: clean lens before filming
To bad you can't get all the Landcruiser options in the Tundra. Afterall a crew crab truck isn't that much bigger than the SUV and it would be allot better for overlanding anyway once you load it with goodies.
I think something like a new Tundra is a couple inches wider and nearly 3 feet longer.
This would be great for Aspen ski trips!
Has a black widow hourglass shape. They should make a black widow edition like they do with Silverado and make the grill red.
no one that bought it new...but as we've seen witth these in the used market...this truck will see TONS of off roading at the hands of the next owners.
Can it do baja?
Such a let down. Why not offer a “LC” trim package that is basically an over seas spec Land Cruiser? Call it a Lexus. Whatever. But give it 18” wheels, huge tires and the same approach and departure angles as the proper LC.
Before we know it the grills are going to extend half-way up the hoods (bonnets) 🤣
I'm really happy Lexus provided the option for 18 inch wheels. I'm not quite sure if 17s can clear the brakes but at least with 18s, people can fit Land Cruiser size tires and make the most out of the truck. That's not quite true with its competitors 😂 COUGH land rover
I personally love the looks of the new Toyotas and lexus.
I kinda like the TLC300, Lexus is slightly better visually to me but still nowhere near the W167 Mercedes or my personal #1 most beautiful car in history Land Rover Defender 110. I don't get the small wheels and the short length, short wheelbase sillhouette. Maybe watching TFL I've got used to the looks of Ford Bronco, Ram 1500 TRX and other extreme vehicles but I think those Lexus wheels look tiny. Are they 29s?
Rear end is kinda mini vani-sh
If I buy it, it is going offroad, maybe the first day.
Take it to the limit 😳
We get the LC300 in Australia. I think you’ll find it’s a 3.3 turbo diesel not a 3.5.
The 3.5 (or 3.4) is the petrol engine
@@mokseee is this one not a diesel?
@@jerrymyahzcat nah, i don't think america gets the diesel
Powerful luxurious lexus
A proper off road SUV based on the best SUV ever made, the Land Cruiser.
Its stupid that its got 2 separate screens, instead they should've put one big screen like Toyota sequoia, would've been much better.
car or truck what is it you cant make up your mind.iam leaning towards suv.
Toyota discontinuing the Land Cruiser is like Chevy or Ford discontinuing Corvette or Mustang; it's a halo car with value beyond sales numbers and profit margins. I really don't get it (and yes, I know it's still offered in other markets).
Question is : why someone will take $100K SUV on Off Road Extreme drive , yes little bit but with this big nose ( worse approach angle )
Can't wait to buy one used!
I like this vehicle, but I just don’t see the value difference between the price of a similarly equipped Tundra & this. Also, Lexus/Toyota’s “heated steering wheel” is a freak’n ripoff! Only the sides at 3:00 & 9:00 get warm. 12:00 & 6:00 are cold as ice!
Any vehicle could do the road. I used to go hunt with my Toyota Corolla. You wouldn’t believe the places I took the Corolla. My last vehicle was a 2019 LX 570 I took it hunt several times with me….I don’t understand why people say $100K + no one will take this vehicle off-road. You pay $100K + so you can take it off-road. Anyways, maybe 🤔 is just for algorithm & view purposes! Can’t wait to see your Rivian series! That’s the future of trucks. Or maybe…we are living the future.
Y’all really need to stop using that camera lens, it distorts everything. Move the camera the steering wheel goes from being super small to super large etc. Makes you motion sick.
When you have more grill than ground clearance 🤣
In my country this car cost about 320k and no one will off-road it not even a dirt road it's car for showoff
So does Lexus have retractable side bars?
You can get it on the Tundra
Im not sure why you would get this over the GX460. Anyone care to comment on that?
The answer of who would take that vehicle off road is high end mafia or cartel.
Wise to disclose that you were flown to Santa Fe by Lexus cuz now we have the context. This is not a review of a car you went out and just bought. I would not call that off roading. That wasn’t much more than a dirt road…..I would surely expect that if you are brave enough, the LX is capable of a lot more, but you are right, not even 1 percent of Lexus buyers will even do that road! If Toyota/Lexus think that would be Land Cruiser buyers will buy this version of the LX instead, I think they are wrong. They will go look at something else. As a Heritage Land Cruiser owner, I wouldn’t buy this.
Wish it had the panoramic sunroof
Why would Lexus/Toyota copy the teeny tiny brake lights?? Just like the discovery, they are hard to see when the brakes are applied in direct sunlight. Not a huge deal, but it could be if someone rear-ended you because they didn't see your brake lights.
why did newcomer nick have to eviscerate my man in three swift sentences. props tho I love the concision
