    Got a local jeep hole, Trucks will come through struggling but mostly jeeps. I get some weird looks rolling down in my 470 and just walk through. Then turn around and do it downhill. Then drive away, they look at me like I am an alien.

      The first time my wife drove it after I was done she was complaining about people staring at her. I was like yeah you joined a club and you didn't know it. Some give you the love some give you the finger. 3-inch ome, 33 mickeys on bronze icons, Front and rear arb bumpers with winch and full-size spare. Buds built rock sliders etc... It is certainly a disease.

    Good video. Like the SD footage as a comparison. I wish on the 550 front camera they would use more of the screen. That big screen and the front cam and tire guides are only on like 8-9" of it which makes it harder to glance quickly offroad

    Well, to be fair, that GX 550 has a 112.2" wheel base, while the Super-Duty has 168" wheel base. It makes a huge difference. Also it seems that the Lexus uses crawl control which is a magnificent system. 😀

    For those concerned about reliability, the new GX uses the same 3.4L TTV6 as the LC300 and both the engine and the cars are built at the legendary Tahara Japan plant.
    But what’s better is that the HP of the LC300’s TTV6 in the GX is detuned to 349 HP compared to the LC300’s 409 HP.
    This means that the new GX is actually more reliable than the LC300. Crazy. I don’t think we have to worry about reliability. How has that uptuned engine been in the LC300 so far?

    • @321thach
      @321thach Рік тому +1

      NO front locker on the Overtrail. Overtrail gets rear locker... all trims get center locker. The LC300 has the front locker. No front locker for the USA

  • @faheemabbas3965
    @faheemabbas3965 Рік тому +2

    Off-topic, but I don't think many people know that according to Lexus' pre-order guide for the GX550 online, E-KDSS only comes on the Overtrail trims. It's not standard.
    Also, the LC250 is really the Prado. I just saw a European first-look posted a day ago and it was a first edition that had a black "Prado" badge below the "Land Cruiser" badge.
    Still, pretty impressive for off-roading as shown in the video.

    I don’t think the comparison of the two vehicles is fair. You’re comparing a old work truck which is designed for payload and towing with a long wheel based vs a new SUV designed to be used off-road. You should compare using Ford Bronco for more fair comparison.
