It's great to be an off-road fan with cash to burn. Automakers have been hard at work improving their established 4x4s. Pole position is now held by Lexus with its new GX550. So we took one to Pennsylvania along with a Land Rover Defender and a Mercedes-Benz G550 to suss out which rock-crawls past the others in this high-brow, high-luxury, high-profit wheeling segment.
Which would you take home?

Where is the actual off-road footage so we can come to a conclusion ourselves? All the random clips together and on repeat doesn’t paint a picture at all of what they are actually capable of.

Both great vehicles If u want / need a spacious 3rd row of seating, the 130 is the way to go.. OR Pull out Row 3 on the 130, to give yourself even more cargo space, for long road trips…

I'm a Toyota owner - 3rd Gen Tacoma TRD Off Road done out with kings and whole lot of other stuff. I will admit if money wasn't an issue the G Wagon is the top dog for a true SUV in the Luxury segment. The GX 550 is the 2nd best True Luxury SUV and it is less than half the money of a G63. Some other videos try and compare the GX 550 to a Jeep or Bronco and they don't even compare to a Lexus. I will be upgrading to a Lexus GX 550 Overtrail and build it similar to how my Tacoma is but on 35s instead of 33s. I cannot wait. Lexus = Reliability, Quality, Capability and Luxury.

Yep. They hit the design out of the park. I'll look for a nice lease return with 30-40k miles on it and pick one up deprecated 40%. The 460's only run a few grand more than the 4 runners used a few years old with low miles. I'll lift it and put 35's on it.

You mentioned you have to dig for the diff lock button on the screen in the defender instead of having a physical button like on the GS, however the defender diffs automatically lock when needed so you don’t need to press anything.

False. This is a G, not a C-Class. The G can go anywhere the Lexus can go and the Lexus is brand new with a turbo now so it's "reliability" is hardly a given.

I'll pick up a black overtrail and lift it put on some 35's and I'll have a really capable really cooshy off roader I can put 200k plus miles on. They hit the design out of the park with this one.

I feel It’s a very biased review coz the reviewer owns a 2006 Lexus😂. Here and there some footage and drawn a conclusion. All new gen cars rely on technology, every one of them breakdown for various reasons unlike late 90’s to 2015 or so. After that all cars rely heavily on technology. End of the day drive what money can afford , What the heart says and the one that puts a smile every time you drive it ❤

Depends on the LR. Sure they have earned their rep over the years, but the Defender, in its 4th model year has proven to be mechanically reliable with many drivers well over 100k with no real issues. All manufacturers are suffering from software issues in their new gen vehicles, LR has addressed their software glitches over the last 4 years and now has a modern and reliable software experience.

While I appreciate the competition, this the wrong configuration for the Defender (they should have sourced a 110, not a 130). But then again, when you're comparing a vehicle with an MSRP almost double the other competitors, why bring logic into the situation, lol.

It shows how much you, the icons of companies that are supposed to theoretically go on expeditions into the wilderness, burn 30 liters in difficult terrain and when there is a flood, as recently in Dubai, it shows that the top engineers are so low and not capable of the amount you pay them. Why not create one for this type. cars with engines that you don't have to refuel and count on mechanics' service, because you knew where the designer's idea was, and if we are going to drive luxuriously in the city in cars worth 3 million dollars, I would prefer a private bus equipped with the details, I avoid traffic jams that use bus lanes faster and with less accidents because they travel almost 10 miles kilometers 😀 and what is now, 60 years ago these cars were only for selected elites, now they are available to anyone as long as you pay the subscription fee and let me remind you that in difficult areas there are no mechanics and gas stations and they need them to go there.🙏🌛☀️ test of an ordinary hammer produced in 1950 100 tons and 2023 80 tons shows that we have reversed development

Toyota lost this one the second they thought it would be a "smart idea" to chop the third row of all their overlanders. Their new direction won't benefit anyone but their pockets. That Land rover has a perfect third row by the way... It's just as capable as the GX, has way most comfortable setting to go offroad, and all that while sitting Comfortably your whole family😅, can't even think they really compete. And the G Class is on a whole other level for a dedicated 2 row Offroader, so this smells fishy... The only thing I see for Lexus which this new proposition is being cheaper.
