- Will the GX550 upgrades convince diehard GX fans? There's a lot to like about the new GX, but it comes at the loss of what a lot of GX fans really love about the original

#lexus #gx550 - Auta a dopravní prostředky
"Heavily wooded field" aka a forest lol
actually, this is the first time you feel GX is truly independent car and gave it a care it is need from design point . that is alone is enough . the previous generations is just Prado cruiser with VIP treatment.
The third row cupholders are nice if you are out camping and sleeping in the back of the vehicle you have a place to set cups or other items.
Much better look than the latest outgoing model. Durability and reliability yet to be determined.
98% sure I will be keeping my GX460. Such an amazing vehicle!!!
I mean unless you already have extreme mileage, there’s no rush. You can always wait and see if there’s anything to be worked out
Just about 60,000 miles. I am at 19.4 mpg average on 460 V8 compared to 16.1 on 2022 Tundra non hybrid twin turbo V6. Pretty sure there will be no fuel savings in new GX.

Agreed. Too many electronic items on the new 550 GX! Also, why limit the EKDSS to only the GX 55” Trail edition? There is no standard opening sun roof across all new GX models.
Great review
Getting a used LX or GX for half or more the price of the new GX has strong arguments, especially when comparing the mpg not being that much better on the new one.
That goes for every generation of cars to every brand of cars though. There are people who are reluctant skeptics and people who are curiously interested enough to just get it
@@MrMikeDao Generally it takes 2-3 years for manufactures to get it right. Thats when id consider the new version. Tundra's are now sitting on lots asking to be sold. People take vehicles too seriously and buy too quickly which is why so many people change cars every 2-5 years
I’ve got a 2008 GX 470 w/ 198,000 miles. Drives and runs great. I’ll be replacing it with something all electric with more safety and convenience features eventually but if the mileage wasn’t so bad (and I drive a lot for work) I’d keep it much longer.
Excelente información la que proporcionaste👍🏼
How did you get one of these outside of the Arizona press release? I’ve been waiting on the off-roading channels to get one of these overtrails to put it through the motions. I think you missed out a lot by not taking the most offroad ready trim on a good trail.
If G Wagon and Defender Had a baby !! 😊
Such a bummer that the Overtrail isnt available with a 3rd row. My wife said thats a dealbreaker for us since we have 4 kids and I dont know how easily I could install seats from the base model back there.
Get a mini van for christ sake!!
Great review. I am going to trade in me 4runner 2020 limited for a GX550 overtrail plus in the next few weeks. Do you know if you can change the color and font size of the heads up display?
I'll wait for the range extending plugin version, like the new Ramcharger is offering.
Where was this filmed at?
Is the new 550 Overtrail more capable than the 4Runner Limited or TRD Pro? :)
I waited for the release specs of the 2024 and went that day to the Lexus dealer and bought a 2023 GX 460 Luxury with Sport package.
Wow what a horrible decision 😂
Are you crazy? The ugly grill 2023?
The best true offroad Luxury SUV other than the G Wagon. Reliability and quality that Land Rover will never match. I will be buying the Nori green Overtrail and dump another 20 or 30 Gran (CAD) and make this thing the ultimate beast in the British Columbian Mountains.
Have you tow with it? How does it feel?
I can’t believe how much the media is so crazy about these new Lexusii!,,
Can you turn off the eyeball monitors?
Wish you covered how the ride quality is
They should make a mini v4 or v6 at least 30mpg .the size of a Jimny , under 30k
Thought the GX had the inflator in the back?
Does the base model have gps navigation that doesn't need subscriptions? I've asked 2 dealers & they mention apple car play, so they're clueless.
It is a subscription that is based off of Google maps, so you’ll need internet connection regardless.
While probably not the smartest choice given the prices, I still like the new LC more than the new GX
What's the gas consumption? and does it need premium gas? Thanks.
Needs premium for this one
wonder if the black trim comes off easily. looks like plastic that would be prone to fading
It does look like that type of matte black finish. And I noticed on the Premium and Luxury versions that it’s a painted version.
Did it drive on road as well as a 460?
It felt a lot better. Felt very light on its feet, and confident on backroads. Rough roads will still remind you that it’s a body on frame though.
Depends on the model. Some reviewers state that without KDSS it’s very floaty with lots of lean.
I absolutely love the GX…all flavors, but this one is pretty freaking bad ass.
like it its more utilitarian ,than the v8 3 row luxury GX460 ugly front end GX460 has a 109" wb new GX550 has 112' wb is really good , one could spec a base GX550 overtrail moon roof delete under $70k.
My wife and I want the GX550. However, I like to cry once, buy once (spend good money for a quality product).
While I know Lexus is literally second to none for reliability and quality, I don’t see how the 550 can be more reliable simply due to more electronics and the turbos. I know they are not new to turbos. The original supras had them, etc.
I know I can go buy a 2022/23 GX460 with the interior tech, and I can drive it 300k miles with no issues - which is what I do with vehicles.
My 2008 sequoia has 219k miles and I just had a new bumper installed, new headlamps, new 9” touch screen, new door speakers, new all over paint job in Toyota cement gray, and it’s worth every penny to refurbish.
However, I know Toyota/Lexus will stand behind their product with the GX550 so if there are any issues, they will fix it. If not, I can always get rid of it for a 460. 😂
Does this one has full time AWD or 4WD system?
Full 4WD only. So no 2WD mode.
Thank you for the info
Dealership gonna have to discount $15-20K on vehicles costing 70K or most ppl can't buy/afford it. All these dealers filing up they gotta do something if they wanna move metal like their use to
No dealership is going to give discounts and they’re still going to sell out of all their inventory
@@kchak88 have you looked at any dealerships lately?
@@honda116969this ain’t a Honda civic 😂
@@er98ah i thought it was, sorry i can only read brail 🤥
They are messing it up in London where you can't collect cars anymore and just keep them
So coool!!
This car is Japanese car.
But we Japanese cant buy this car yet….
I wanna buy GX550 immediately.
Lexus and Toyota are far from being perfect but they are the best in automobile world overall. All of our family’s Toyota and Lexus vehicles have driven past 300k miles and last beyond 20 years with just regular maintenance and few minor repairs.
I don't want all the fancy new electronics that will break destroying the key benefits of the Lexus GX - dependability and longevity. I don't want lane keep assist, a screen for the dashboard, adaptive cruise control, ... I'm sticking with the GX460. I think the boxy styling is just a fad, like the Honda Element and Scion xB. In a couple of years the new GX/Land Cruiser won't look as good as all the GXs and Land Cruisers of the last 30 years. What I find interesting is the government is forcing Toyota to move from larger naturally aspirated engines to less cylinders with turbochargers in order to save gas. But Toyota complies with the engine size reduction by significantly increasing the power instead of increasing the gas mileage.
Doesn’t make sense to put a less reliable twin turbo v6 and gain 1mpg on the highway instead of the old and proven v8. Sticking with last gen GX.
True -the 550 does not offer enough upgrades over the 460, maybe getting anew 4Runner is a better option than a 550! Paddle shifters on an SUV!!! Are they kidding?????
Sequoia looks like a better deal
Sequoia materials are subpar compared to this and has hard seats
99% sure I'm getting rid of my GX460. 550 is amazing
I stopped watching when I heard that Lexus took their design cues for the hood from the Porsche 911. I’ve read a lot of reviews and somehow no one found a way to mention the 911 in a gx550 review 😂
Why not keep the V8 as an option? People already are trading in their tundras.
So odd that Lexus people are worried about the new GX. yes the old was very reliable, but also sooo old. low power, crazy bad gas mileage, messed up rear barn door and really not very good looking. This new one is great looking better power and efficiency and more functional door. Just better in every way. If people believe in Lexus then it will be reliable
…..the gas mileage on the new 550 is only 1 mpg better than the V8 460- not a great improvement for a twin turbo V6. Also no wood trim and minimal leather on the 550!
@@edmundcharles5278it’s also much more capable engine wise. 0-60 1.2 seconds faster, 2500 lb more towing capacity and is much more off-road capable.
I’d say overall those are good improvements.
I hated the 2023 GX460 and here are the reasons:
1) Very ugly front grill, I really hate the look of it. Why would you pay so much to drive such an ugly car.
2) Small windshield giving it claustrophobic feel
3) Many of them have KDSS problem which the dealer will not fix
4) rear door opening should have been changed at least 8 years ago
5) 13 mpg gas mileage
6) Useless 3rd row seats. They should have just removed it
7) it was neither a luxury SUV like Mercedes or BMW nor was it an off roader like Range Rover. The new GX550 is at least an off roader that can compete with Range Rover.
Came here to see the gx460 owners cry about the new and improved gx550 and try to convince themselves that their older model is better 😂
This videos title is stupid
New GX butt ugly. Cost $15k more with smaller and less reliable engine No significant gain on gas mileage
Great review
