Thanks for this and other reviews. The sound pressure level reading is one of the most important criteria for me when selecting a luxury vehicle. Thank you very much for including those objective numbers in your reviews! Many reviewers pay absolutely no attention to the cabin noise factor in an objective manner.

[@fcg243]

I would choose the GX any day.

[@HiiImChris]

The gx is just absolute perfection. The design, functionality, tech, build quality all look top tier. Also, given its Lexus, and fhe features and style provided, i genuinely think its priced quite fairly especially in this insane car market where the avg car is like 45k

[@normanli7085]

@@jraheemjefcoat429 Japanese manufacturers will only go all out if it is priced as high as its German competitors. Actually, the Lexus GX competes directly with the Mercedes G-wagon, but if we talk about luxury, the G-wagon is indeed more luxurious because the G-wagon is also priced at twice the price of the GX series, but if you only use the offroad features, the GX is more worth it than the G-wagon in terms of price.

8:23 to me this is personal preference. I'd rather have an opening sunroof then a fixed one even with the opaque glass option. So far I would pick the GX in the video. If it has the GX panoroof it would've been perfect for me.

[@billr8564]

Great job as always, guys! And this was a perfect comparison for my wife and I, as these are the 2 models we are considering. But I still have a few questions: how is the seat comfort in each? My understanding is that the sporty TX has more aggressive seats that the regular TX. Also, we currently own a 2022 RX 450hl. We love the car, the 6 cy engine and ride, and the look of this beautiful car. But, the swooping design that makes it so beautiful causes me to have to duck my head when I get in the car, even though I am only 5'9". I know that wouldn't be an issue for the GX, because of it's body design, but I'm wondering if it would be an issue with the TX. I haven't seen one at the dealership yet. Thanks as always!

[@CarConfections]

Thanks! Seat comfort is very good, minus the missing 4-way lumbar and thy extension on both. Also, bigger people will not like the TX F-Sports narrow seats

Good comparison, but please spend a few more seconds comparing the cargo areas. These vehicles are SUVs meant to carry cargo as well… suitcases, skis, boxes, costco items, etc. Would be nice to see how they compare in terms of width, height, and length for holding cargo.

Tx is kinda narrow based on Highlander. If TX is your thing, I’d take the tx350 w the smaller price tag. Gx has better proportions and better powertrain

[@PlatanoMateo]

Many of these reviews do not touch on how great the GX is for towing.

[@REs-s9s]

Nice review, nice cars but too bad they are too darn expensive for normal people.

[@hellkitty1014]

The GX for quite a few reasons for me. While the TX is definitely larger on the inside, the GX isn't exactly lacking. I actually think the interior will feel more airy due to just how boxy the GX really is. Then the elephant in the room with the TX: The GH Platinum is a better buy. The TX's interior doesn't scream Lexus and for nearly $80K, I'd check out an X5, GLE, MDX Type-S, or even a loaded JGC Summit Reserve over the TX. The GX is the Land Rover Defender that doesn't break down. While I wish Lexus did more with the interior(which is the case for most of their vehicles except the LC500, which is a stunning environment), it checks most boxes and certainly elevates over the previous-gen(although I wish the V8 was still on offer with some sort of power and fuel efficiency boost).

[@normanli7085]

U should also throw in the X7, GLS, Navigator, Escalade, GW too since the PHEV approaches those prices

[@paulbugoni2846]

Neither interior screams Lexus and yes shame they didn’t retune the V8; the lack of KDSS but for the top models is a shame also.

[@dougclendening5896]
