The 2024 Lexus GX550 is A Land Cruiser With A Lexus Badge | MotorWeek Road Test

Показать описание

When most people think of Lexus SUVs, they tend to think of the RX, and for good reason. The RX was a key player in popularizing the luxury SUV market as we know it today. But, the Lexus SUV world is much bigger than that, of course, including something for adventurous, rugged, off-road types.

I'm glad John is still holding up well and he has been doing this for decades now.

John I watched you in the 80s as a kid. Sheesh now I’m in my 50s but you are still strong as ever

I love that John, after all these years, is still going strong with this and the formula is mostly the same as the 80s I love watching these and the “retro review” ones and seeing how similar it is

Lexus GXs hold their value well. A 2009 GX with 150k miles will sell for 12k in 2024, because they hold their value well, and can last a long time.
One of my relatives had a 2005 GX that they bought in 2005 and still have it today.

“BODY ON FRAME”, #1 reason I’m trading in my 2022 BMW X5 for this. I had no idea what a unibody vs body on frame was. I was in a terrible car accident 15 years ago. I was in a Nissan 350Z. A man just decided he’d run me down in his truck. Broke every bone in my leg. He’s in prison. Luckily I had a DashCam. Completely random. I promised myself I’d never drive a car ever again and started driving SUVS. Only to find out this year watching videos on this vehicle that I’m actually still driving A FUC$&@!ing CAR! A UNIBODY. Speed and performance of the X5 were a wonderful bonus but not the prime reason I bought the vehicle. Had I know this terminology about car frames I would have went to Lexus and Toyota first. My neighbor drives a Tesla and constantly reminds me his carbon footprint is lighter than mine. I asked him how many miles a day he drives and charges off the grid. Once he realized my heavier gas guzzler actually just stays parked and asleep in my garage because I work from home he shut up. My lifestyle and job affords me a heavy gas guzzler and I still have 1/5 the carbon footprint of Tesla neighbor. Also According to Highway crash test ratings being better and much higher on body on frame my insurance has dropped for the car and my life insurance also is lower. “RISK ASSESSMENT” I am far more likely to arrive home alive than my Tesla neighbor and the insurance Companies know this.

well, i love the look of this new Lexus GX550, a lot. after all it took them 15 years to finally redesign this SUV.

Just finished watching the retro marathon over the holiday. John still has it! Grew up watching him since the late 80s and he’s just one of those comforting voices that puts all at ease. Sorta reminds of a Mr. Rogers of the automotive world :)

The interior of the old model looked more luxurious, maybe I'm old but wood still looks nice.

Not that this is a bad thing necessarily, but the back end vaguely reminds me of a Mitsubishi Montero Sport for 20+ years ago.

Still the best automotive reviews in the business. Nice to know you are still here.

Another great video. Looking at the Overtrail this week at my local dealer. They finally got one in for me to drive.

5:12 that's some of the steepest nose diving under braking I've ever seen

got hooked watching John and crew in 1986 while in college. always appreciated how his reviews were positive and anything that was remotely negative was presented as "it's not necessarily our favorite option" or "possibly room for improvement". Got the point across without being overly critical

THE LEGENDARY JOHN I Know you've been talking about retiring since season 25 John (according to Ben Davis) But please please don't retire. There aren't too many of you great guys around anymore it's so great to see how well you're doing, take care and keep up the great work, John we love you! :)
