Happy Thursday guys! The wait is over and today we’re actually posting TWO videos on the all-new GX! After you finish watching the review on this Overtrail+ trim, be sure to also watch our full video on the Luxury+ trim! Which GX 550 trim would you choose for yourself?

This is my favorite color AND trim level! Lexus did such a great job on this model!

They nailed it with this. Looks even better with that green paint 👌

*Lexus GX is always the answer! ❤ excellent review*

The mirrors look straight from the 70 series land cruiser 👍🏻

One of my favorite reviews- great job!!!!

Not even Naveen can stop this legend. Great review Redline 🎉🎉

This is what Mazda should’ve done, giving CX90 a 2 row and 3 row options, instead of introduce a new model CX70, which is pointless and unnecessary.

this is an incredibly well done review, you are hands down the best car reviewer out there right now - knowledgeable, engaging, informative, to the point. It’s great to see how far you have progressed since when you first started out. love your style, please keep the great reviews coming! ⭐️🙌

Very nice! Now wondering what will be the off-road trim for the upcoming 2024 Land Cruiser!

love the collab!!

Thank you for detailing the car for the review. A lot of reviewer thinks it doesn't matter, but my OCD begs to differ. It separates a great review from the also-rans.

Thanks, Sofyan 😊...

My assessment is based on what I observed at the Auto Show in California. For comparing this SUV, I recommend examining others. To attend, both my wife and I had to pay a $30 fee, and I was particularly eager to personally see the Lexus GX due to the hype surrounding it as a large off-road SUV. Before I outline the positives and negatives, I want to express my anticipation spanning decades for the GX to unveil a new design. However, I am disappointed with what I encountered. Pros: * The shape is commendable, featuring a perfect boxy design akin to competitors such as the Defender, Jeep Cherokee, and GMC. * While the central infotainment system is not groundbreaking, it maintains consistency with other Lexus models, which is acceptable. * Cons: * There are numerous drawbacks. The model I viewed exceeded $77k and lacked the ML sound system. * The absence of a panoramic sunroof, now a standard feature in modern vehicles, detracts from the luxurious experience. * The panoramic sunroof in the Luxury+ model is underwhelming and seems to mimic the idea from the Venza, which has been on the market for over six years. * The quality of leather and interior falls short compared to other SUVs in the same price range. Even the Toyota Highlander boasts superior interior quality. * The exterior feels excessively plastic, particularly upon contact with the bumper, hood, and other body panels. * Leather quality across all trims is subpar. * Fuel economy poses a significant issue in 2024, averaging only 17 mpg. * Many materials exude a cheap feel, failing to deliver a luxurious experience. * If one opts for all available options on the Lexus GX 550, it may be preferable to choose the LX 600, which offers a higher level of luxury and power. * For a better depiction of luxury, consider examining the Infiniti QX80: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hLOqd5qfsbfQdI0.html I've been a longtime enthusiast of this SUV, but now, even surpassing $80k plus tax, it's hardly worth the investment. In 2024, there's a myriad of alternative options I've contemplated, including the Ford F150 Electric, Rivian, Cybertruck, GMC Denali AT4, Sequoia, and the Volkswagen Atlas Off-Road version, among others, boasting advanced technology and commendable qualities. Toyota and Lexus seem to be marketing very basic vehicles under the guise of reliability. Many individuals I conversed with at the auto show shared my sentiment that the GX 550 pales in comparison to the 460 in terms of quality, feeling cheaply constructed. It appears that KZfaq influencers may be sponsored by Toyota and Lexus, with many Toyota dealers hyping these vehicles on social media to attract buyers. This SUV no longer epitomizes luxury, not by a long shot. If you disregard reliability and juxtapose it against brands like BMW, Audi, and Land Rover, it's disheartening to witness its decline. Purchasing this vehicle entails enduring it for another six years solely to mitigate depreciation, while numerous other automakers are already introducing superior and more advanced technology. At present, I must explore alternative options, as this SUV is not worth $85k out of the door, if you're fortunate enough. Best wishes with your new purchase. Just bear in mind, many individuals are compensated for endorsing Toyota and Lexus brands, and I've encountered numerous instances of Toyota dealers leveraging social media to generate interest in these vehicles. In conclusion, this is merely my perspective. Enjoy your new purchase

Are there individual tire pressure readouts or just a tire pressure light?

Exact color combo I want. Maybe with a dark bronze rim.

Love this.

That Nori green looks great on every vehicle I’ve seen it in, definitely would be my pick if I bought this

Another great review! Can you speak to the suspension setup and how the Overtrail differs from the Premium? Thanks

@redline love the video as always, so trust me when I say I mean nothing by this. But how did you come up with 350 mile range? Wouldn’t it be highway times tank size? Instead of the combined number?

That color with some bronze method wheels on it MMMMMMmmmmmm. yummy.

Very good video ❤

I never liked green on a vehicle before. I was going to go with cognitio but gonna get the green and put a front bar and custom bumper on it. I think they could have done the four runner roll down window and pano sunroof for me to be more excited. You had the prime xse too, how does the interior compare?

Love the styling

The new GX has J80 exterior vibes. I’m digging it!

Does the regular Overtrail trim come with a power rear liftgate?

Well done, great vid!

I wish the electrical towing connectors were built into the bumper like the Toyota Trucks or Sequoia. Instead, the tucked them under like the 4Runner. These are a pain to connect.

exact spec I would want too... but can't afford this bad boy or would i be able to get one...

This is the car I would buy if I were to buy brand new. Or the new IS500

Good review. I like the fact that you covered the cornering lamps. I would have like more information on the folding mirrors, can I fold them in when entering a parking ramp? Also, you did not cover the trailer brake controller, if it is standard or after-market plug and play, and you did not mention the towing capacity.

Really enjoy your reviews.

What’s the big difference between the overtrail and overtrail Plus ??

Does it use the TNGA-F platform like the Tundra, Sequoia Land Cruiser, Lexus LX and the new Tacoma??? If so I think having one platform for each segment in addition to the TNGA-F

Always a great review. That trim level with those tires and wheels looks really good. Love some sidewall on an SUV with apparent capability. I think Lexus just placed themselves at the top of the segment, again.

Can’t wait to see this beauty in person

Such a beautiful suv.

I wish they had given the option of sliding rear seats and let the owners have a choice of more rear seat space or more cargo room. That is a big short coming of this otherwise fantastic SUV. Also, the KDSS will probably makes it impossible or very difficult to lift.

What was the price as tested?

I am loving this. Can't wait to test drive it. Way better function and looks than the Sequoia.

This and a lc500 would be my dream garage

Never owned a Lexus/Toyota before, but might look into this. Anyone know if Lexus dealers in Texas engage in the predatory markup schemes of practically every stealership in the country the last few years? Or can one expect to pay MSRP out the door on a Lexus product?

The only reason I would consider this vehicle, is because it has full time 4WD with a Torsen locking center differential. I had that on my old 6MT FJ Cruiser. REAL full time 4WD is awesome. If you've never had it, you don't know what you're missing. The reviewer is correct. Toyota needs to put a locking center differential in the 4Runner and Tacoma.

Drinking game: a shot every time he says As You Can See without passing out

Lexus made a huge design flaw with this new vehicle. The rear view mirror is blocking your camera and we have to look at your face instead of the road ahead. Lexus needs to address this issue asap.

Wish the Over trial had the 3rd row option like the luxury version. I would prefer the meaty tires over the rubber band big rim version . Still debating on this or Sequoia TRD for a 4runner replacement.

Naveen, what's your take on Ram Truck quality of control and reliability? 😅

Went to the dealership today to check it out. It looks great, but I don’t like the hump in the middle of the back row and do not like the how the back seats don’t fold down flush with the rear cargo space. Overall trunk space just space just seems kind of small. I’m comparing it to my 2020 Atlas Cross Sport which I love very much. Maybe I’m comparing apples to oranges.

Wish I could get brown interior

I am not interested with red back light connected bar. But I do like the shape and AWD features. ❤❤❤

That looks really good with the exterior/interior color combo.

The bumpy roads in Tucson will give this beast a run for the money

Love averting about this new GX. While the black roof option looks great, I can imaging it will add heat to the inside and outside of the vehicle and will not age well over time when exposed to the sun. I think you can get the roof in body color.

Nice Job Lexus will last 10 years or more bullet proof reliability landrover shops know u by name I'll take the Lexus all day

Great video with lots of details… without sounding overly verbose! I’d take the GX550 over the new Landcruiser. And I have the older Landcruiser!

Is the Overtrail the only model with two rows. What is height and width of cargo area. I have 2 Great Danes and want to know if they would fit? Thanks.

What an awesome looking suv . 🎉

Great suv, I’d hope with new technology that they could get a bit more fuel efficiency .

Finally a car worth my attention

It would be nice for the Overtrail+ to come with real leather (Saddle Tan), 3rd row seating option, 3-zone climate controls, and heated middle bench seating. That would make it perfect.

This is great vehicle but I’m more excited for the Land Cruiser

This car offers so much more value over the X5

eager to see what the new 4runner would look ...

Please compare Lexus GX with Defender 90

Best looking suv at the moment, hands down! Sh!t is gorgeous!

I'm-a Reday for some off-roading just thinking about it

Interesting that the price as tested is around the same as a Toyota Sequoia with the TRD offroad trim.

you said 8000 lbs towing, but your vid listed 9063lbs towing. which one is correct?

"Earth", with a black roof, is the GX's best color (See Doug DeMuro's review)

I like these. Will be getting a new SUV this year. May get one. But my idea of off roading is crossing a median on the interstate to get around an accident.

Best new truck in years… just a shame it’s $1mil

I'll wait four years to see how they depreciate, not into spending 80K to go scratch and break stuff. In 4 years no buyer will have off roaded this

15 city mpg is crazy

I'm hoping to pick up a used GX550 in a few years. Find a nice deprecated lease return for $30k less. Pick up a used 4runner later this year to drive for a few years, and then I'll trade it in for a used one of these.

How about a GX 550 review of its on-road driving abilities-this is where 95% of these vehicles will be driven, not off-road trails!

3:20 9000lbs you mean?

I think it’s overvalued because the interior but their take was it’s easier to clean

The defender gets better fuel economy, is more powerful, has a larger fuel tank and signiuficantly better range.Past Land Rovers have poor dependability, however the recent post Tata acquisition shows improved quality and dependability. I like the Lexus and have owned many, including the 23 GX but my next SUV will most likely be the Defender, with an extended warranty!

Sofyan, There is a lot to be praised with this new GX. However it is hard to believe Lexus is still introducing engines that require Premium fuel to produce LESS horsepower (349) than the Toyota equivalent produces with Regular (389) . 🤨

Naveen what are your thoughts about China's BYD?

The LC 200 and GX550 are almost the same dimensions.

This is pretty much my dream car, but I am SHOCKED at how bad the fuel consumption is and how slow it is from 0-60 (considering it is a new Lexus at this price point)

"beefy member" 😂😂

17:00 You can delete the moon roof for -$1100. Meaning, you subtract 1100 from msrp, so it's cost SAVING. Lexus doesn't charge you to delete it, unlike some manufacturers.

Hmm I feel lucky I got my 4Runner when I did

21:28 😂

I expect sale date late march

My garage is too small for this car, otherwise, I would buy it. Can't park this on the driveway, gonna be gone over night.

I may be in the minority, but I feel like Toyota could have done better with the Overtrail wheels. I think a slightly modified TRD wheel style would’ve served better. IDK.

My Xterra has a rear wiper and gets 16mpg😅

I see so much 80 series

Better deal than a Sequoia... And you get the cushy Lexus service.

Well, this engine be as reliable and durable as the land cruiser and old GX V8 that was legendary and would last 400,000 miles with minimum maintenance. This is a spectacular car, beautiful, luxurious and capable but and here’s the big butt well the durability and longevity and reliability be bulletproof like the old ones. No one really knows but the answer most likely is not really. The land cruiser 200 and the GX or the pinnacle of vehicles that do not have equals. Well this new one last 400,000 miles. The jury is still out but it will take 85 grand to find out.

This will be a classic like the FJ or Land Cruiser and retain value

No doubt it is a fantastic true SUV, but the true use case unless one takes it off-road so much or even once in a month is not there! At almost $10000 more on fuel cost over 5 years at 17 mpg assuming 15K miles a year, which is the minimum reasonable period of ownership, the value prop is completely lost. I can compare this to my X5 PHEV that I get 42mpg hybrid, that’s a straight up $2K savings a year! If you stretch that to 10 years, that’s $20K more on fuel. Yeah take away a good chunk to keep the Bimmer maintenance, but you lose money with this GX. Where exactly this may shine is for people who keep this for 15 years or more honestly!

At least it better value than the LX600, this with the Overtrail trim equipped with E KDSS makes it worthy off road, not sure about luxury tho…

Naveen, Naveen ,the anti-ToyoLexus Fantasyland macheen! Naveen, what percentage of folks keep their cars for 3 years or less? Things are trending in the opposite direction. Therefore reliability is important. Kia, Chevy, Buick, and BMW have really improved in the rankings, but nonetheless all of the rankings still have Lexus and Toyota on top.

I only really care about the thunk and the horn.

"If you want to go on Safari, take a Land Rover. If you want to come back from Safari, take a Land Cruiser" --All of South Africa Great review.

15/21 mpg with premium? Yikes that's not much better than my 07 GX 470 on regular. Love the look of the car.
