I really like this truck, I do wish they would have spent more time on the interior considering this is a Lexus, you just don't get the same type of old luxury feel that you had with the GX 470
I still wish they would make a sequoia version with the GX styling - I think a LX and Sequoia size is different enough … and the LX could just focus on luxury
@@fungidr3520I go more by the less mobile parts, less expensive and less maintenance. I already had ice Lexus and now plug in and I have seen the difference big time at the dealer.
Toyota / Lexus has gone to hell since they fired Mr Toyoda the original CEO. None of these newer cars live up to Lexus standards before they started cutting corners using more plastics and cheaper materials. This new CEO sucks!
@AUav8r05 I already know that. The point that I'm trying to make is most of the younger people buying these things up are clueless about the quality Lexus had in the older days
@AUav8r05 I just watched a video how much the car industry is going to change now that Trump is going back in office and a lot of these four bangers will be a thing of the past and a lot of these six cylinder turbocharged engines will be replaced by small block naturally-aspirated V8 s
Yep. When they ditched their naturally aspirated engines to appease the climate freaks in the US, their reliability went down. They’ve completely ruined their reliable reputation. Tundra, 4Runner, Tacoma and Land Cruiser are all tuined
For me, turbos (however many) are a pass. As old W.O.B. is reputed to have said, "There's no replacement for displacement." BTW, liked the giraffe analogy.
They detuned the GX to 350-ish HP so it wouldn’t compete with the LX600’s 400-ish HP. So very little chance of the V6 hybrid. 4cyl hybrid from Landcruiser is far more likely.
@ it wont sell if thy use the 4 cylinder. If that is the case, Apples to apples, the LC would be a better and cheaper option for off-road (lighter) I bet it will be a detuned hybrid v6
@@juanfersan the hybrid will be the exact same 4cyl turbo used in the LC. They are already selling in overseas (google it). It’s not a refined engine and not tuned for efficiency. Marginally gets better mpg in real life vs the GX.
Lexus already builds a midsize and full size crossover so you can buy one of those if this is too truckish. It’s nice to have an option with different attributes. (Also, it’s only solid at the rear and it rides well for a truck based suv)
Why does Lexus have one of the ugliest navigation systems on the market. I don't understand why they can't have it fit under the dash like the older models. The new Bentleys has it under the dash so why can't Lexus. It's all of the Lexus brands.
Gx isn't as good as a landrover off-roading on on road. Luxury inside is mediocre at best. You only buy a lexus if you're a toyota buyer and have some more money
The Defender is pretty sick too but it’s far from a one sided fight. A ldefender isn’t nicer imo unless you spend serious cash (granted, I have limited experience with the Defender). I like the features and the lift you can get with the Rover but the reputation and solid rear axle of the Lexus entices me more personally. Plus the base Defender engine isn’t nearly as potent. I’d love to put that comparison together!
The Land Rover may excel on the road, but it falls short off-road. Unlike the Lexus, which is built on a body-on-frame design, the Land Rover simply won't stand the test of time. The Lexus is the superior choice for long-term durability.
No it doesn’t… it reeeeeeeeeally doesn’t 😂 The gx is overpriced, ugly to look at, interior is worst in class, dated infotainment, cramped back seats, small trunk, unreliable twin turbo v6, slow performance, pathetic handling and driving experience, crappy ride due to the live axle, and its way overpriced. 15 years later and this is all we get?😂 As usual for Lexus, the Gx is another dead on arrival product
@ oh look what we have here: it’s another year one grandpa stuck in the past 😂 What else grandpa? You going to say your BlackBerry or Kodak camera is better than iPhones or Samsung galaxy phones?
This is an amazing-looking vehicle.
If I had 70k to splurge I would look past the 3.5L and get this for just looks. It’s a beast on the roads
I really like this truck, I do wish they would have spent more time on the interior considering this is a Lexus, you just don't get the same type of old luxury feel that you had with the GX 470
True...interior is not luxury
or even the 460 as well
Great review Love your videos man keep up the good work. Happy Thanksgiving
I saw one of these not long ago and it looked really nice
Great review 👏
Happy Thanksgiving....
NEW LEXUS GX 👌😍👍
I still wish they would make a sequoia version with the GX styling - I think a LX and Sequoia size is different enough … and the LX could just focus on luxury
sequoia is bigger than the LX, yet it looks more luxurious in some trims. tx is the biggest suv in the Lexus lineup in terms of space
Thankyou
looking bloody ruff underneath with all that surface rust already!
I would get on once hybrid is available!
Buy the LC. Thats Toyotas solution.
Not much difference in gas mileage. Stick with ice

This GX is more in demand than any Lexus ever released. I’d say they are doing just fine.

The Land Cruiser replacement happens to wear an “L” in its grille it seems.

I hear you, but unfortunately due to CARB rules everything is going turbo . Just happy this isn’t a turbo 4 like the LC.
I think the hybrid will be a v6
I hope, but that’s not what I’ve heard from Lexus so far.

if you want a nicer Landcruiser? that´s it. Thanks 😀
Solid axles for a rougher ride on a “SUV” that will never utilize that axel

@@Realistickagreed. Thats why Lexus introduced the TX.
oh they're utilized, trust me 😆 😉
So expensive $150KAUD. Not worth it. I rather buy a Hyundai Santa Fe 2024 Calligraphy Hybrid.
Way overpriced. If your off-roading, get a 2024 4Runner and do upgrades….. save a lot of money….
wheels are horrible
Then buy different wheels, there’s a massive aftermarket for them.
Why? I like it better than the entry level premium. Any reason to dislike?
Beautiful exterior , bland interior.
Interior is cheap. My friends 2024 Hyundai has a better interior design and upscale look to it than a lexus

I cannot imagine having only 349 horsepower for a 5700 lb overtrail model. It needs a minimum of 400 horsepower and that's still not enough.
You’re missing the 479 lb-ft of torque. Below 5000 rpm, it has more punch than a lot of more powerful engines!

You will rarely see a Landrover on the trails GXs have been all over the trails for the past 21 years since the GX470.
