    That's right! After a decade and half, the new Lexus GX is finally here! And there's also a first-ever GX hybrid coming at a later date! Big thank you to our friend Bern to filming this very detailed First Look for us!

      my thoughts exactly. though i was thinking the 4Runner would use the 4 cylinder turbo in the new Tacoma. i was surprised when Bern said that the GX got a version of the 3.5 v6 turbo. if they share that with the 4Runner, it'll finally have the power it deserves.

    This new GX looks absolutely magnetic. Hopefully it’ll receive the hybrid max powertrain. Strangely, it seems like the GX has grown into the size that the flagship LX occupies. The LX is disappointing in both size, tech, and powertrain options for 100k+, I do hope they update everything and perhaps release a longer wheelbase model.
