So witch engine do like, should ppl wait for the hybrid? Seems the V6 is more reliable easier to fix. Don't like the 2023 plastic grill, the 2024 looks like you could put a 4x4 bumper on with wench making it better than Land cruiser.
The lack of a front locker doesn't dissuade me. I'll wait for the hybrid but the GX is my next car without a doubt.
The Overtrail edition has both center and rear lockers. When combined, there is a 50/50 split of power to front/back axle + locked rear wheels which will spin in unison. This will get you out of even situations with diagonal traction loss (two diagonal wheels in the air). There really isnt much of a difference in performance compared to ALSO having a front locker except in the most extreme of offroading situations. Most people are already heavily modifying their vehicles by this point for things like extreme rock crawling. Just my two cents.
It may have a turbo, but at least it's not a ridiculous EV.
I'll give you that. Based on Scotty's Tundra video I bet it's slow
Agree. I hope toyota make a non-hybrid sequoia like this.
Hi Scotty, Toyota have to built Gas paddle touch the floor not to make your leg so tired❤❤
Only a matter of time there thomasking, they are the future; get over it
@@sdcoinshooterOkay😊
Looks nice. Looking forward to reviews when released in January. It’s definitely a car you buy and own for a long time. Quality certainly will be there being it’s being built in Japan.
Agree
I think if Lexus would mate a new 10 speed tranny to an old V8, the fuel efficiency would be the same as with the new V6 turbo. Actually that is exactly what people were asking for
That’s why GX460 can sales so long and people like it. Good old days always gone.😢
Everyone would want the V8 no turbo. Although a V8 turbo package would be interesting.
they cant these companies are getting screwed by our government with regulations right now remember that at the next presidential election this current group is pushing stricter emissions and EVs like mad
If they could do that I'm sure they would. But they cant because of emissions. That's why every manufacturer is going turbo: V6 to T4, V8 to T6.
absolutely. toyota is moving to the v6 to comply with US emissions regulations. this has been discussed to death.
0-60 in 7 seconds in a vehicle off that size is fast to me!
I am am actually interested in buying a 2024 GX once I pay off my GS350. I love the looks of this vehicle!
My 2014 GS 350 is in shop at moment, couple minor repairs. Have a 2023 GX loaner. My first time driving a GX and man it is so much better than the RX. As someone who has mostly driven trucks before my GS, I love the way the GX drives. I’ll definitely be interested in the redesigned GX once some used ones become available after customer leases expire.
@andrewflores9643 Yeah man! My dad is excited to buy one as well! It should be at the dealer any day now.
Since the GX 460 has proven long-term reliability and fairly strong aftermarket support in the off-roading industry, I would not suggest buying the 550. At the very least, wait 2-3 years for Toyota/Lexus to work out the bugs. Regardless of how many bugs they work out, just know that there's little to no chance that the turbo will ever last as long as their bulletproof V8.
I trust Toyota to make a reliable turbo. They have had a turbo diesel in the Land Cruiser for a long time now
Great you wait then. Meanwhile I'll be styling
In Israel, a few months ago, a Toyota Hilux just got over 2 million kilometres, using the original engine. This is a turbo diesel engine.
We have two gx460 and a runner in the household. Not looking to go turbo.
Turbo diesel way more reliable than any turbo gasser. Sorry.
I like how Scotty is able to hold back some sarcasm during these reviews. I didn’t think he could. 😁
I had a 2007 GX470. Best vehicle I’ve ever owned. Love me sum Lexus SUV
Has Scotty Kilmer been replaced with an A.I? This video is way to polished and nice. Where is my shaky cam in a driveway? Where?!?!
Love it! BUT please bring back horizontally-split rear tail-gate. So practical. So sensible. So convenient 😅
They Look Like They're Designed For It Too
@@SupremeKai_OmniverseI reckon when the Land Cruiser Prado lands in the middle east and Australia, there will be an option for the horizontal tail gate with the spare wheel attached on it, allowing for an extra fuel tank where the spare wheel is now
I think that adding the locker is still way better in terms of cost of ownership than going for G class or a Range Rover. The gas mileage will be dwarfed by these cars' mechanic charges, not to mention the times spent at the shop. As for the size, well, this is customer specific.
The front locker doesn’t lock the front wheels to the rear wheels. The center differential lock does that and is standard on the GX550. A front locker locks the two front wheels together to spin at the same rate regardless of traction. For me, the key Toyota traction aid is A-Trac which operates in 4L and sometimes is better than a rear locker in managing power to the wheels that have traction.
I'm a Lexus owner and love it! I have a GX but would rather have the LX. Maybe one day. I have an 06. Wouldn't do the new ones.
I have a LX570 and it is great. I love it. BUT, it does cost a lot of more money to fix and maintain. The 13 mpg city isn't a lot of fun too. I do a lot of miles for my work so I've already done the big 110,000 tune up/repair period. Cost me $11,900 to replace all the warn out steering components and new shocks and struts. Had to replace the water pump and the spark plugs were outragously expensive. If you have the cash get one for sure. Mine is a 2017 with 133,800ish miles and I hope to keep it forever.
@@SuperSnakePlissken that is awesome! I would love to take yours out for a ride! I want the 2006 LX 470 with low miles. Believe it or not I get about 20 mpg on the interstate. I don't do 70 though. I do 63 tops. I even get about 18 around town but I drive slow, coast up to stop signs, I don't ever floor it to merge unless I absolutely have to. I call it mellow driving. It's actually been good for me mentally too. This says a lot
considering I use to race stock cars.
@@elijuh3My LX570 gets 13.5-14.5 city depending on how hard I drive it. Highway it will get 18.5'ish pretty consistently. I don't complain about that at all due to the fact it is a 5.7L V8 and AWD/4WD.
I debated heavily on getting a LX470 when my wife and I were in the market, and it pretty much came down to two things. 1.) the 5.7L V8 had a lot more power and was a chain and not a timing belt. I looked into that maintenance and it was $3500 to change back in 2017 so I cannot even imagine what it is today (that included the tensioner and waterpump). Overall, the 5.7L V8 driving experience paired to the six speed transmission just drove so much better than the LX470 I had test drove.
2.) The other thing was my wife and both preferred the styling of the LX570 and creature comforts that it had over the LX470...and the lights! The headlights were absolutely far superior on the LX570.
Is the LX470 a bad vehicle of course not. To each their own.
INDEED….. ‼️💄💋
My 2010 LX 570 gets an average of 16.5 mi per gallon mixed highway city driving. You shouldn't have had to replace any steering components at 110,000 mi.
Im glad they also kept the ICE (all gas) version of it, not everyone wants a Hybrid 🥊
Nobody can compete with Lexus/Toyota for SUVs on capability, value for money, and reliability. Toyota is smart to focus on all drives trains right until the end. They will pick up all the remaining demand that other manufacturers can no longer address due to the fact that will die taking on too much, struggle with the transition, etc…The advantage of the deep pockets of Toyota…They can do it all…
deep pockets of toyota...? They have a debt of over $200 BILLION !!
Overpriced as hell.
@@swanvictor887 Okay, I have no idea what their balance sheet looks like. I do know that they have capability to deliver a lot more than most manufacturers regardless. This is an indisputable fact. We don’t need to talk to their accountant to know that.
@@rashodm7129 What isn’t? At least you’re getting something for your money.
@dlj1285 you could get your money worth in anything cheaper than a Toyota/lexus. Paying 100k for a Toyota is outrageous, and it gets worse with the rebadged lexus.
Ive got a 2006 GX 470. Only at a 146,000 miles. Not gonna get rid of it for 20 more years. That old all wheel drive v8 just goes no matter what.
need to bring the LS400 back, and keep it simple and elegant: fuel sipping conservative v8, good looks, simple electronics, quality materials and legendary reliability to 1 million miles
I wish the LS would go back to its roots. That was one of the best vehicles in the world in my opinion.
Should look at the new Cadillac Escalade IQ. It shocked the whole industry yesterday.
You couldn't give me a new Cadillac
Trash.
GM doesn’t exist to us. We want cars that actually work forever.
If you can buy a Lexus, you can afford the fuel. The 2023 was getting dated though.
Agreed... The vehicle if freaking huge, what do people expect.
Yes. A lot of people now can afford to buy Lexus brand because of it’s name and reliability. But why they have to sacrifice to pay more for gas mpg as daily user. Plus most of the car manufacturers are now going for Hybrid or EV. Save environment!
Correct. We're talking an extra $500 a year in gas to have the sickest ride. All good
@@robc7323 GX460 is not huge. It’s smaller than 4Runner and MDX I’ve owned
i drive a 2007 GX470 and its the best vehicle I have ever owned. I traded in my 2017 Tacoma pro after i bought the GX, thats how much I love it.
The moment I consider purchasing a new vehicle, I gotta see what Scotty says first. He knows his stuff.
Love my 2007 GX 470. It gets 16.7 MPG. I don’t mind. It’s a comfortable, solid vehicle.
I have a 2011 LX. I don’t mind the 16mpg as well, it has been a solid vehicle.
I'd love to see the old 4.7 V8 with a 10 speed transmission
I have a 2006 Lexus 470. Great vehicle! Best I ever owned. Power and off road its #1 . Gas mileage is horrible with premium only! But I love it !
We were in the market for a 7-seater to upgrade our 2013 Parhfinder. Wifey wanted a Lexus so we looked at the 2023 GX. The third row was a joke. And to rub salt in the wound, they didn’t pay for that cramped third row with generous cargo space. Forget about suitcases. We couldn’t even fit groceries back there.
My wife has the previous version of the GX460 with the 4.6V8. When I saw that Toyota was only offering a V6 for the new models, that immediately made me not want to buy it. Don't need two ridiculously expensive parts (The turbos) to brake down over time and cost a fortune to fix. Bring back the V8 or I won't be buying one. Will look at a newer Sequoia or something else.
Why even buy something newer? I wish people would be smarter..and buy nice classics..and have cheaper everyday cars and trucks...I'd love to see 20s to 70s cars and trucks on the road ,instead of all these $50k suvs that look the same with 100 computers
@@richsweeney1115 Because the auto industry would end if everyone in the world bought used cars.
As someone who works at Lexus I’m in love with these but damn they should have never ditched the V8. We’re pulling more engines and transmissions then ever at my dealership.. like 3 a day.. it’s amazing how well the old Lexus were built compared to the new ones.. I wish car companies would stop beating around the bush and keep building engines that they knew were reliable like the 4.6 or 5.7 iforce
Lexus looks at G Wagon: you want boxy? I'll give you boxy!
The issue with 4Runner is most dealer markup the MSRP while GX460 was deeply discounted. When I was shopping for a 4Runner TRD Pro back in 2018, the dealer with stock wants $5000 markup. But the Lexus next door is offering $6500 off on GX460 😂 so I bought GX instead.
The Toyota Land Cruiser is making a comeback to America for 2024 but it will be smaller than the Sequoia and only seat up to 5, the starting price would be $55,000 it's to match up with Jeep Wrangler, Ford Bronco, and Land Rover Defender.
I think they got the looks perfect and the 3.4L twin turbo sounds fun
This vs the Toyota Landcruiser which one do you pick?
I have a 2019 GX460. It has everything I want including a non-turbo V8. I do not want a smaller turbocharged engine. I have not seen the new Land Cruiser or GX in person but the looks remind me of a Bronco or Land Rover Defender. (BTW - Why do car brands all look alike?). Earlier this year, I was riding across the Sahara Desert in Morocco in a Land Cruiser Prado - the cousin of my GX powered by a diesel. A heck of a performance. I don't understand why the new Land Cruiser is going to have a 4 cyl twin turbocharged engine with some sort of electric hybrid system. I can't imagine going offroad in something that complicated. Surely people in the deserts and jungles of S. America and Africa are not going to trust a Land Cruiser with all that crap. They will probably get a simple diesel version.
Interesting enough but people in Australia will get 3l or 3.5l turbo diesel version of a new LC
Won’t be fun when all of the old reliable engines get discontinued… and we’re left only with unreliable, unproven over-turbo’d crap
EPA and probably the politicians pushing for stricter emissions until its 2033-35 or whatever year it is until new gas vehicles ain’t sold no more in the US, so car manufacturers are making smaller engines that pump out less emissions, so by 2050-2075, your children or grandchildren will be forced to drive electric vehicles as its been forced upon us, and gas vehicles likely head out to be clunked, exported and gas vehicles become less and less over time 🤔 🤔
Maybe Australia doesn’t have stupid laws like California does.
90k+ is a huge price difference than the previous gen … you could get a used one for roughly 30k+
Agree, I own a Lexus and find their customer support is poor at the dealership level, and if you take issues up to Lexus of North America in Plano, Texas, they also look the other way unless they can charge your credit card.
Stay away.
Full time all wheel drive is stupid
I like the interior and technology that is standard in the new 2024 GX. However, I prefer the v-8 and its proven reliability. So much so that I went out and bought a 2023 GX once I learned what the 2024 model is offering.
It needs the 3.3L V6 Diesel engine from the 300 you would get 30mpg+
The government has all but killed diesel engines in the US.
The rear side-opening door on the GX was a deal breaker for me. Though a little boxy for my taste , the new tail gate will have me give it a look again.
This turbo thing is gonna be a big future problem. The new land cruiser is 4popper too. What's up with that?!
Fuel efficiency. You can thank government regulations for that.
@@MFS45 i love the new land crusier from a style perspective but once i saw its a hybrid only i made a hard pass its a damn shame at least give me a v8 option for the guys who tow and wanna bring extra gear for trips.
@@leanbean8962they’re never going to make another V8 sadly. They probably already phased out the equipment for making them.
I hate the planned-obsolescence appliance future of cars…
@@leanbean8962the LC can still tow, although it might be more wear and tear on a little turbo engine
Toyota has had turbos since 1940 , if there’s problems it won’t be like American buy low sell high parts . They’ll stick with higher specs and constant revaluation . It’s their legacy
We are on our second GX460 and we love em. Luxurious, comfortable, bulletproof.. just awesome vehicles.
"More attractive" cousin...the 4runner. I disagree. The GX looks SOOOOO much better than 4Runners and the GX drives amazing. A quiet and smooth V8 unlike the slow v6 in the 4runners.
Love how the green color changes depending on lighting conditions. Looks incredible on this new GX.
From $59k to $92k is a ridiculous mark up!!! I refuse to bend a knee to this greed!!!
I configured one online and mine was only 77,000 for the highest trim...?
Lexus IS the most valuable luxury suv makers in the business. But still very expensive.
As one who goes to the car wash if my tires even touch dirt, I NEED THIS
Current gen 4Runner is truly a steal even if it’s not v8
I really liked this video it’s very informative thank you for that. Wondering can you make a video just like this but for the new Land Cruiser ‘24 please 🙏.
He already completed the history of the LC from the tail end if this video. 😂
Love these informational videos that you do. I know you said they are a lot of work but they are much appreciated. Really nice editing as well. I am a Lexus ES330 owner, but this is far too big for me.
I was looking to pick one up, but was going to wait to see what hybrid they are going to offer, the 4 cylinder iForce or V6 iForce
Haha the closed-eye Scotty stickers cracked me up. Editing gold
Who actually needs a vehicle like this?
Should've gone diesel...
Can't lie but dang that looks good!
But is the entire auto industry shocked?
End of the road for *insert car manufacturer here*!
The new Lexus GX is just a fancy Land Cruiser
Land Cruiser PRADO. Not a true Land Cruiser as we know it.
Had Toyota went the same direction as Mazda and Stellantis and developed a new in-line 6, it would have been game over for everyone else, turbo or not. A modern day 2JZ would be unbeatable.
10:03 chart is WRONG. After the FJ-40 the "more luxury" branch has been split starting with the FJ-55, then followed by 60 series, then followed by 80, 100, 200, 300 series. Meanwhile 70 series has appeared at the same time as the 60 series, as a more robust cheaper option and the sub-split heavy/light duty has happened there too, where the 70-heavy duty kept its original form more or less up to this day, and light duty 70-series was given the name "prado" and has started its own model line 70-90-120-150-250. The 80 series is the direct successor to 60 series not 70.
I want a plug in hybrid version ..
Just put an order in for one , Sand overtrail with chateau/olive interior , looking like May 24 delivery , my 4th lexus , 2 nx and 2 rx350s , never had any issues, I can't wait for this to come in. In my opinion its one cool looking suv with great reliability history .
I have a 2006 GX470 that i love! It's at 215,000 miles! I've kept it up over the years doing all the scheduled maintenance and more! Recently, the back rear window slid off the rail and broke the motor need to replace entire kit for 2.5k to get the window up. In addition, the mechanic discovered 5 oil leaks? but no oil shows on the garage floor? $6.5k out the door to fix. is it worth it or should I sell for parts and get into a new Lexus? Which then leads me to next question, which one? Any thoughts from the community would be appreciated!
Love the GX and the LX
I'll stick with my 1999 Mercedes Benz ML 320; that I paid $4500.00 for several years ago when it had 136,000 km on it. It's comfortable to drive, has off road capacity, built solid, not too expensive to maintain. Found an honest mechanic. I'll use the money I saved from buying an overpriced over computerized new piece of junk to buy fuel for this MB and keep it maintained--I'm still way way ahead, pricewise and will be for some time. My other car ... a Toyota Corolla 1999. Will never part with it.
Nobody can talk me out of getting the GX 550 lol.
Wait a couple of years for "new model bugs" to be worked out. From about 2026 model year it will solid
Turbos are not reliable in the long run you will have expensive issues later down the road. The 2023 gx460 has a reliable v8 that has proven the test of time. Companies are moving to turbo, they are just a cheap way to squeeze horsepower out of a tiny engine.
@@anthonycabanas8572 All engines eventually have expensive issues, in the long run. The GX will have the exact same Dakar Rally dominating engine from the 300 Series, which is Toyota's global halo vehicle, engineered to last over 2 decades in 3rd world countries and countries with harsh climates, like the middle east and Australia, and remote regions of Asia. Nothing will last longer than the new GX, just like only the 4Runner can last as long as the current GX
@@RomanVarl If this were a western built Toyota, I would agree! However the GX is being assembled in Toyota's best plant in Japan, along side their iconic halo vehicle the 300 Series Land Cruiser, Lexus LX etc. Everything going into it is existing working technology. Even the engine is from their 300 Series, and the platform has been in use for several years now. There will be no "new model bugs" that are worth anyone not buying it, because the bugs have been worked out in other platforms
@@lunamaria1048 it's not about assembly at Tahara Aichi plant, which is world-class, I agree. New model means a lot of new parts, supplied by several hundred sub-contractors\suppliers. There will be component failures 120% probability and possibly recalls first 1-2 years. This is true for all brands, all models, any assembly. With Toyota less than others, which is why people love it for reliability. But it does happen to anyone.
No Turbo thank you. Just give me a full size engine with plenty of power and cooling.
Toyota probably already phased out the manufacturing equipment for the V8 sadly…
SCOTTY, I want a cool car. What do you recommend? Something reliable that will still turn some heads.
This GX is insane! 🔥
If Toyota would come out with the original 1970 Land Cruiser exactly with everything manual and no computers it would take years to satisfy demand. Around the year 2000 I was the second caller to buy an old Land Cruiser for $10,000. Three times for what it sold new. Now a 70 Land Cruiser in good shape can go for over $50,000. The new 2024 models carrying the same moniker will never appreciate in value.
Need a diesel Hi Lux and Land cruiser for the US market.......
It's a gorgeous one ! . The third row seat supposedly, supposed to be more comfortable for Adults, but it's not really larger enough for Adults , for it classes ! . .
When you said, "Why shouldn't you get the new Lexus?" I stopped the video, exited, and took your word for it.
Glad Lexus got rid of that ugly grill on the GX.
Coming soon to a couple parking spaces near you!
There is no replacement for displacement. Forced induction vehicles are finnicky, require extra attention, has more problems, and dont last as long. I would buy the older V8 model than buy the new one especially when the new one will cost $10k-$20k more MSRP due to the redesign.
Either this new GX hybrid variant or the new TRD Pro Tacoma. The GX, I’ll probably wrap it, ceramic coat it, and tint it. That’s pretty much it. A smooth and quiet ride. Now the Taco, I will definitely put about $20,000 worth of mods to it considering how much you can do to those trucks. Do I want to become a sensible more matured person with a quiet and comfortable ride or never ending list of mods just for it to become a decked out grocery getter? I hate camping or dirty car. There, I admitted it. 😂
Just buy the new land cruise base model and go crazy on aftermarket
While I don't like the idea of a turbo six in the LX or LS, having it in the GX seems fine. If my 1999 ever gives up the ghost, I may look into one.
I love this NEW GX !!!!
Looking forward to see a review of LC250 😎🤝
No V-8...Toyota put a Man Bun on the GX and Land Cruiser...
This is hilarious
It drinks lattes and does yoga now
Sad thing is, the turbo makes way more power haha
@@jarrods5494 They have the 5.0 V8 in the Is500 that makes 100 more horses
@@eaauto6182 yeah, but we’re talking about the old GX. That IS 500 sounds great, though
It is apparent those disparaging a turbo do not drive at high altitudes much. A world of difference. This said, hope they thought of access to the turbos. I think there is a way around it, with difficulty, but to access the turbos on the Tundra, dealers were having to lift the cab from the frame, not a trivial task.
I like the exterior styling. Toyo should change the 4-Runner to look more like it.
Agreed. It looks so damn slick.
I love how blocky it is. Reminds me of the old Land Cruisers, and they toned down that godawful grille design so it doesn't look like a slackjawed carp.
@@TheReapersSon Yes! I was thinking the same thing.
Go check 2024 land cruiser, it is what you want: fuel efficient, boxy design, and more affordable!
Going to just keep my GX460 and modify it. Small lift and some bigger tires solve the problems I had. I don't understand dated. What does dated even mean? It doesn't have a 15 inch screen tablet in the center and a screen gauge? The interior looks great, it is comfortable and I prefer analog to digital and I have owned many vehicles so I have experienced both. Want to spice your interior up? Take it to an upholstery shop.
Exactly, I do not like iPads everywhere instead of analog and physical buttons. No turbo charged engine = I'm in!
'24 GX will outsell the previous gen simply because it looks awesome and previous looked dumb. End of story.
If anyone here from the community can tell are or will the Toyota turbo engines be reliable. What i have read is that the turbo engines working of pressurised air mechanism wear way faster then the NA engines.
As a long time, V8 Tundra owner, I wish Toyota would move into the heavy duty truck market. Super large gasser or maybe even a diesel. The American made sector is a disaster durability wise, but they start at 80 and crack 100k and are packed with luxury. I would think there is plenty of profit to be found there by the Toyota/Lexus badge. Of course it’s a dream…
Hi Scotty, Lexus should bring back the V-8, they barely got an extra mile going to the V6 turbo I should’ve kept the V-8. At least you had that power with less wear and tear in the en engine V6 turbo’s will wear out much faster than the V8 will. After all, how much sure they really saving.
I love the new styling in that tan color. That's my next car.
Sounds like Scotty was reading straight from the press release.
I have a 2010 GX and thought I would end up buying a 2021-2024 model. However I currently get about 11 mpg because I don’t do much hwy driving. it will be hard to justify upgrading to another 460. Because the interior is very much identical to my 2010 and mpg hasn’t changed. Also don’t love the new grills. I love the look of the 550 but due to mpg and pricing I may end up in a Highlander. I have two kids and prefer to have the 3rd row. We shall see.
I've worked on a lot of the 460's, just did a 21 a couple weeks ago, you are not missing ANYTHING. I literally couldn't tell the difference, I thought it was a 16 or something. Keep your 2010 that you don't have to worry about babying. Your mileage is going to continue to be offset by your cost of ownership. I haven't been into the 550 but I have torn up a 23 LX, so I think the new gx is going to be legitimately superior. Based on the tundra and sequoia, expect significantly worse mileage than advertised if you load that thing up, I know people that have both. But you know that, you already talked about the mileage. I love the concept of the 550 but 17 mpg is extremely not impressive.
But if you need to get rid of the gx and want a 3rd row and better mileage get an in infinity qx80 until you decide. You'll get slightly better mileage out of a much bigger motor around town, and you get most of the best things toyota is just putting in their trd trims in a 5-8 year old vehicle. That's what I'm planning on doing until about 2032 when I shoould be able to afford a 24 GX, ha.
Highlanders are really unimpressive compared to the GX, to me. They just feel like paper mache to me. I just know my family had bad luck with them and they're an awkward size. Big but without some of the benefits you'd expect. That was the previous gen though, curious what you think.
Get a Highlander hybrid… better gas mileage
Love my 23 Highlander Hybrid. 35 mpg around town is true. It drives very comfortably on road trips. For me the 3rd row is for short trip use and rarely. But if you need the entire third row the rear cargo area is small.
If thinking about going with a highlander, consider the new grand highlander, or a sienna. Our '22 AWD sienna is supposed to get 35mpg. We deal with a lot of snow, and go up and over the highest year round pass in the Sierras 10+ times a week, but we're still getting over 30. From 100ft, I saw a highlander from the side and thought it was our sienna, until I noticed the 2nd set of doors were not sliders. The sienna gives you much more room than the standard highlander. But I just saw a grand highlander at the dealer, and it is much closer in size, but taller and with some more ground clearance. The grand highlander is probably a better choice if you ever go on a rougher off-road trail, or if you just prefer standard doors to a slider.
@@aarondaniel7688 Grand Highlander looks great
Front locker with the modern MTS system that the Overtrail truck really isn't necessary. I've seen MTS in action in a GX460 (a friend of mine added it using parts sourced from overseas) and I am pretty sold on that. That said, adding a front locker and air compressor is probably the first thing I'd do if I bought a GX550. Also, stating that the GX is just an over prices 4Runner is really not accurate. While the GX460 and 4Runner share the sam LC150 platform, the 5th gen 4Runner doesn't offer a V8. All things being equal, I'd rather have the v8. I am interested, however, to see what Toyota is going to offer in the 6th gen 4Runner, as the new US market Land Cruiser (PRADO) on the LC250 platform is in the same market segment as the 4Runner.
Considering its a big fat vehicle filled with heavy lexus materials, tech and a 4WD system it's quick.
Surprised you didn't say not to buy it because its the first year of a revamp, you say that all the time and I agree. Scotty rule # 351 - no first year purchases on new or revamp'd models...
I would agree if its a new engine and drive tran and all that. Otherwise a new shell body redesign doesnt mean much. They will have similar reliability.
That engine isn't new
I think the new GX looks fantastic.
After looking at the new GX550 and saw the turbo I decided to buy a 2023. The new one will be more expensive and less reliable at least for a few years. I like the look of it but all \ new SUVs look the same. Look at the new Hyundai Sante Fe. That light bar is already old to me. Its on almost everything lol
I was always told that the GX was 4 runner based and that the LX was Land Cruiser based. Different from what you state. Also, some of your words did not match the writing in the video. I do love my 2018 LX!
I live in NYC. I at least see 3 GX on the street everyday far from unnoticed
Scottie this one is very well produced. You are the best in the car world
You are wrong if you bought the GX for city ride. For that reason buy an RX.
GX is for serious off road trails. Places where no other brand managed to concur
Scotty love, make Scotty Kilmer bumper stickers! I wanna slap one on my money pit!😂
