Its nice to see lexus toning down that damn grill.

Regarding the mode-selection dial knob: don’t forget that in Japan they drive on the right! So, (directionally) it’s correct for them! 😊

I don’t remember seeing a car and say I want one.
Lexus really did a great job with the gx

[contrariangrin]

Was waiting for this exact vehicle review in this exact color/trim from this exact channel. Great video guy!

Yuri, wireless Android Auto and Car Play is so nice. Not having to mess with wires for any drive under an hour is so much nicer.

Just sat in the base Landcruiser, the interior isn't as bad as reviewers make out to be, yes it's not as nice as the Lexus but it's really not that bad. Plus its a car with no sunroof, cloth seats and equipped with heated seats and heated steering wheel, rear vents and off road tech! Only a few people will ever appreciate that!!!

The fact that the driver can't blink without a chime is hilarious

[MoNeenja]

The GX550 is the best looking SUV out today but I wished they offered it in blue for Overtrail and had more interior color options like red or white like the previous gen. I'm already seeing the GX550s on the road and it's making me jealous. This woul command the MSRP they ask unlike the Land Cruiser (imagine paying 70k+ for a 4 cylinder?)

I saw a modestly lifted Overtrail in my neighborhood this afternoon. Looks like the 2.5" front/0.75" back preload collar lift from Westcott Designs. It looks AMAZING with that raised and leveled look, and it was still running those stock Toyo AT 33" tires.

I own the Overtrail Plus - the driver monitor got turned off in .083 seconds. Most annoying thing. Besides that it’s a beast - just hope the reliability is as good as previous GXs

[MrNtim]

This SUV is simply magnificent!! This will definitely be my next ride. Thank you TSP.

They do not make a 3.4 and 3.5 L twin turbo engine its just 3.4 across the board. And yes that one will be part of the recall

[st_us]

Toyota gonna dominate the european market too.

[brrrrr]

Probably this if we're being honest. The creature comforts are so very worth the surcharge.

Nice brakeboost there.

I think the LC looks better and has less front overhang. Also like the LC's disconnecting sway bar vs eKDSS, and real physical HVAC buttons vs on screen lame "buttons". BUT the LC doesn't have the V6 and the associated towing capacity (boo). Toyota - PUT THE V6 IN THE LC and I'll buy one, charge me the same as the Lexus if you must (and while you are at it, please redesign the fugly plastic "diaper" on the tow hitch for both these vehicles, it's just gawd-awful and it's not good for towing, which is the point of a tow hitch). Nice review guys 👍.

Wow that opening shot going under the bridge looked incredible!

[gettcouped]

This thing is gorgeous! Would pick this over a Defender or G Wagon 10 out of 10 times!

[desertmodern]

This and the Tundra both have the 3.4 V6, although there may be tuning/turbo differences. This is a really compelling vehicle, but I'd wait a bit to make sure the engine drama doesn't spill over into the GX.

[vizzle]

Hands down... GX always.

Glad they decided to continue/bring it back

[ThomasPisz]

Jacubs watch game is off the charts. Loved the evolution over the years.
