I look forward to the end of the huge wheels trend. 22 inch wheels on a family wagon is stupid. Worse mileage, worse ride, worse longevity, and more expensive to replace.

[@MBisFrenchy]

Agreed.

[@user-tw3ck7xp6n]

agree

[@jissanhuq3792]

That is not accurate at all anymore. Some bigger wheels actually get the better mpg. The big wheel trend is not going anywhere

[@baoanprounited]

Idk bout the majority, but my TX 500h has 22 inch and the ride is pretty comfortable. Now, u dont have to get 22s, opt for lower option and get smaller wheels. The 22s TX 350s are in the Luxury trim, which has better suspension tuned for comfort than the non Luxry ones

[@tyreefha7862]

But they look so niiice 😩😩

[@NorbertPGuzzowitz]

Finally the Muzio family has incorporated the famous "Low Five" into the final seconds of the show..! Introduced decades ago during his radio days, multiple low fives quickly become a traditional happy dance...but that often requires additional tequila and slices of lime. Thanks for reviving this salute to silliness. Long live the Low Five.

[@jaydalton3408]

I want to second the use of the low five salute. No more wild hand waving high in the air. Keep it down low.

[@derrickaf1]

Take your time...they can wait!!! Your dialogues are always great as are your reviews! Thank you...

[@blackgold1859]

Another awesome video! Love it!

[@alexmassengale433]

I'd love it if they added the 2.5l hybrid available in the Grand Highlander. Not fast but amazing MPG and regular gas. Not everybody needs their family car to be fast.

[@dougclendening5896]

Pure gas for the 350 was a mistake for sure

[@scottmcbride9213]

Thanks for the review Micah. I love your car reviews. What are your thoughts on the suede/alcantara seats? What do you think the long term durability will be. I love the luxury trim over the premium trim because of the additional features, but am concerned about the suede. Thoughts?

[@jabbathebum]

We are likely to buy a tx 350 later this year. Thanks for the review.

[@johnsonl3656]

As an owner of Honda's V6 Passport, I was really impressed with the power of this turbo engine when I drove the TX. Plenty of power off the line and effortless doing 80 mph+ with 3 adults,1 kid and lots of stuff in the cargo area.

[@RyanDoonan]

The TX looks very nicely looking and love how much space it has and would get one

[@brianbarbe9646]

Daughter six inches taller since the last review I watched which wasn't that long ago.

[@Xyz-gf5op]

Kiddo is very practical!! Kudos to her ..:)

[@lane5686]

Lexus built an ideal family hauler that’s luxurious, spacious, and smooth. Lexus dealers sell that same car at unbelievable prices with the mrsp

[@Brian-jv8iy]

Toyota swapped some parts on its cheapened out version of the Highlander and put it under its second, somewhat premium brand. (With thech from 90s). Americans that love not using their own money will spend monthly on another subpar product, being un eco and changing it after 3 years for no reason

[@Jorge_Magallon]

About the weird ‘Lane Trace Assist’ and it being related to ‘ambient light’. I wouldn’t be surprised because it seems to also happen with ‘auto braking’. I have noticed the tendency to auto brake when the sun reflects off pooling water on the road in front of you.

[@ShafinRehman]

Lexus really has got to step up their interior game. No wood or metallic trim, not enough leather or stitching on the dash and doors, kind of cheap tacked on screen look, and too much plastic stuff. Lexus made better interiors in the yesteryears.

[@dougclendening5896]

The interior sucks. But it is clean, soft and solid feeling.

[@bill7481]

Lexus did a great job with this SUV. Those 22s look great! My only gripe: the absence of a second row bench option on the top trims.

[@michaelmi7903]

Bench is available on the top trim (luxury), just not on the hybrid.

[@mfbikle]

Our ‘23 NX 350h braking improved after we had our first tire rotation!

[@Shaqwukong]

Hah! How can you not love this family?? Great video big bro!

[@chadhaire1711]

they suck and their videos suck.....shills.........what fool wants to replace a nice V-6 with tiny four banger turbo that has less power and no better fuel economy?

[@rodolfocuenca5752]

So I've noticed on many videos that the Lexus TX's headlights are always on even on the day time. Can you not drive the Lexus TX with only the DRL on during the day time? Just curious... 😅

[@Evan_Adams]

No mention of the traffic jam assist in the convenience package

[@juliopaez4516]

Nice video. Have you made a video of the cost of owing your helicopter? From how much did it cost, fuel, maintenance, storage, etc. I would love to see a video. Also my nice is studying to be a helicopter pilot so you could also add how much does it cost to be one and the total investment. Hope you make one.

[@sentiencepsn2714]

One problem I have with the front grille is it’s similarity to the new Toyota Crown, Toyota Prius (strong upper horizontal element, fading to body grille) As polarizing as the Lexus spindle grille was, at least it was an identifiable look. At first glance, without the badging, someone who doesn’t know their Lexus vehicles wouldn’t have guessed this was a luxury car, let alone a Lexus.

[@lucasrlawson]

Am I the only one that high fives the screen??? 👀

[@ryanfrisby7389]

Excellent review guys!😸

[@Motorheaddoc]

Micah is the Lexus driving experience marketing or is there a dynamic difference?

[@dougclendening5896]

It's much quieter, smoother and solid than the grand highlander, for sure.

[@TheHersonCastillo]

Toyota / Lexus are lightyears ahead of other carmakers in terms of practicality and hybrid tech prowess. P.S. The Real Housewife crossover reference had me 🤣

[@slighwentwalking2024]

I don't see enough reasons to pay more for the Lexus over that Toyota version....you should pocket that extra money for snacks. You may have a cookie monster in that 2nd or 3rd row 🤥 Its a luxury truck that tries to be boring looking... and succeeds....congrats??😂

[@PrecisionAcc]

15:05 Kiddo's not a fan of the mush haha

[@chillnndc]

For that type of money, I expect a more upscale, luxurious styling inside and out. No wood trim??

[@dougclendening5896]

Sadly the next options in the class cost 10-20k more

[@AndreanoCelentano]

Lexus is typically overbuilt for longevity compared to Toyota. There is your difference.

[@fleshrocker]

Reminds me of a minivan in looks. Not terrible. I just like a slightly smaller sized vehicle.

[@alexmassengale433]

In terms of looks, its the ugliest in class but some of that is them making it as boxy as possible so its also the biggest inside too.

[@blackwhirlwind1245]

5:51: that headrest is gonna be super uncomfortable.😢

[@writingpanda]

I own the Grand Highlander, and I agree. The Toyota is better than the Lexus version, but if anyone wants the plugin hybrid, they have to go with the Lexus. I'm looking forward to what Toyota and Lexus do with this platform in the future. One last thing: as much as I enjoy the Grand Highlander, it's a BIG BOI, and for a small family of 3, it's a bit much for us. What would you recommend for a sensible vehicle (SUV, wagon, sedan) for a small family that does the occasional road trip? I've been thinking about the Subaru Outback and the RAV4 Hybrid. I'm not a big fan of luxury vehicles because you can get luxury features in non-luxury cars. If Subaru came out with a hybrid Outback, oh man, take my money!!!

[@aarzu10]

Mazda CX90 or CX70. Premium car, mainstream pricing.

[@alexmassengale433]

@@aarzu10 The problem with that car though is the cargo and passenger space. Behind the 2nd row its about the same space as a CRV and miles behind a car like a TX! It also has a much smaller third row.

[@aarzu10]

@@alexmassengale433 they wanted a smaller footprint than a TX. The CX90/70 is smaller; feature, not a bug.

[@jamesshort5682]

How does it compare to the CX-90?

[@alexmassengale433]

Way bigger inside in terms of third row and cargo space, not as nice to drive.

[@DeadAir21]

Problem is people love bigger wheels. That’s why smaller wheels are typically only on the base trim because most will step up to bigger wheel because they look better.

[@Kenneth_R]

Fit and Finish is not really what you expect in a Lexus unless its built in Japan which the TX isnt.

[@EejuVava]

Lexus is renowned for its exceptional quietness at highway cruising speeds, making it a game-changer for individuals whose migraines are triggered by continuous noise. When reviewing Lexus vehicles, emphasize their quietness as a significant aspect of the conversation.

[@Brian-jv8iy]

LS is quiet, everything else is toyota quality, but even LS has nothing going for it since 2012.

[@hongsitu3429]

Some Lexus products have a lot of road noise. Perception is different from reality sometimes.

[@jamesnardini]

It’s soooo dull. Thanks for making an interesting review about a very boring SUV.

[@trspotr]

I think Crown SUV might actually eat into Lexus SUV sales 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@user-nl8qd8mj7q]

Это видео противовес недавно вышедшему Traverse?😊 хитрые японцы не хотят чтобы про Lexus не забывали...

[@cmlopez1982]

It looks like an old Dodge Durango. The Grand Highlander is more original copying from the Rav4.

[@KhrissyDaDon]

5’9 with a long torso 🐍!!!

[@jaymcdonald-ji7wn]

I'm in the market for a 3 row. dont need a 3-row, but its more for "just in case" scenarios... basically going between this and the gx550. I'd much rather go with this model for size/space, but the design is so bland. gx550 it is.

[@ComicConBooBoo]

costco milk gallon transport space

[@vinmahn9792]

Grown up kiddo makes the climb-in much easier these days... Just saying the metrics have changed

[@davidd1692]

Lots of money for uninspiring outside and inside

[@dougclendening5896]

Agreed. But 15-20k less than an audi, bmw or mercedes.

[@lukejeung4615]

Still not a lexus quality, maybe high-end Toyota quality (crown?🤔)

[@Anon_0192]

I will never not refer to this as the Lexus Texas.

[@PresidentJackBauer]

Not worth the price over the grand highlander

[@hereigoagain5050]

Peeps will shop the LX and leave with the TX.

[@marcojeda6954]

Is it just me or does the front end kind of look like a slightly less ugly Subaru Ascent...?

[@vinothmohandoesnotlikegoogle]

48 seconds into the video - sees the scratches on the plastic...yeah, that is Lexus "quality"

[@allenmovies]

It just looks.....so boring. If not for the Lexus badge, I wouldn't think it's a luxury vehicle tbh. Well made, but ridiculously boring

[@Circiaify]

Definitely a hard pass at that price for what you get.

[@mingorich]

I bow to the concept of….‘styling is up to personal taste but….. come on guys, is this really good looking???!!!!! And what about the price for a family car?!!??!!

[@samdollar6294]

The cheaper version is the Toyota Grand Highlander

[@TheWonder-Sparkster530]

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

[@hongsitu3429]

The amount of yt family happiness is cringey lol. It's just not real life. The TX is markedly different in terms of suspension tuning and structural rigidity vs the GH. So its not just nicer materials and extra hp.

[@dougclendening5896]

It feels much quiter, smoother and solid than the GH. If you just want a comfortable ride in this class, this is 15k less than the next German option.

[@Jsiwnakxhenalancbdksmsl]

Sorry Lexus, compared to this, Palisade is way better

[@DJParisOfficial]

1. Yogurt. 😂 2. I hope you get the Bubly sponsorship! 3. Yes, the Grand Highlander does it better.

[@aarzu10]

Lexus really leans into "anonymous luxury" as an aesthetic; that's what their customers crave, and so... this will do serious numbers.

[@chadhaire1711]

What fool wants to replace a strong V-6 with a tiny 4 cylinder turbo with less horsepower and no better fuel economy for $70,000??????????????????????????????????? Shill video.

[@naveenthemachine]

You all know what you’re favorite Toyota haters gonna say As Tx is dead on arrival since it doesn’t do anything well. In fact in just about every single way I can think of it really falls behind the competition
