As I’m a fan of boxy semi rugged vehicles, I’ll vote for I love it.

Cheers.

Definitely need that FULL TIME 4WD for all the mall parking lots 😊

Didn't know that about the hood, really a ingenious idea to design the hood to show where the wheels are. Brilliant engineering 👏🏾👏👏🏾 Love this vehicle from top to bottom.

Great vehicle on a great channel 👍🏾

[omendarklight]

Wow, never seen a better couple. I mean the GX 550 and Andrea 😂😂, just an amazing match up. Like this vehicle was made for you.


Great video!!

[nickdiacos]

Great review, great show, fabulous hat! Next up Land Cruiser ?

[Fuentes]

Helll yeahhhh! 🤠 coming from someone from Dallas Texas lol. She has her cowgirl hat on so she’s standing on business

This was a fantastic review. Love watching your reviews. We owned a 2008 Lexus GX and it was a tank. The fuel economy was abysmal - which is why we ultimately let it go. This new GX looks amazing and could get us back in a Lexus.

You guys are so much fun--I feel like I'm riding along with you!

[jrd]

I petition to have Andrea do all future car reviews in the hat! 🤠

[BigdogLarry]

Do you think it will have the reliability as the bullet proof 8 cylinder?

[blackgrandpa]

Looks like something I would buy but I want it in a hybrid fuel economy sucks and I'm sure it only takes premium gasoline

[michaelgarvin]

Good review guys!! Andrea, looking good in that hat! 👍🙂

[seanh]

the only think I don’t like is that your choice of replacement tires may be extremely limited for the first few years and getting suitable winter tires may be a problem too.

[paulgyro]

Man you guys have been hitting my AZ hood a lot lately! Hook me up with all these awesome test drives. 😂

[johnholst]

These body on frame rigs are my favorite vehicles made by Lexus. They're like Range Rovers...but much more reliable! LOVE THEM!

[christophercheek]

Living vicariously through you two. You are blessed to have your adventurous job. I was looking at a Phoenix trip recently. The airline ticket prices are def in the Lexus category not Kia…lol. Like this truck you reviewed. Thanks for the great review. I’m sure it’s not all fun and games. I’m guessing a ton of work goes into editing, creating, etc….👍

[AJ-jrcs]

Excellent reviews… you guys make it so much fun to watch you all the time. Keep it up please. I’ve been waiting on this SUV for quite sometime. Why did you compare it to X5 vs X7?

Although Luxury + starts at $81k US, I am comparing up X7. Should I look at it differently?

[edmundcharles]

Not enough improvements over the older GX 460. No opening sun roof? Needs better mpg.

[OFOFBORG]

Ouch! Poor gas mileage! Overall it’s a beautiful vehicle but I will stick 5 passengers. Nice hat Andrea! You looks like you are driving or riding on the hard working horse! 😆 Great review Andrea! 👍🏻☕️☕️

Who designed/makes the 3.4TT engine? Someone said that Yamaha supplies this engine to Toyota and I was quite skeptical (even though apparently Yamaha *has* in fact designed and built some Toyota engines, including the V10 in the LFA.)
