ngl certain cars Lexus has stockholm syndrome'd me into liking like the LC500 grille is like a fully realized version of what the grille is trying to accomplish and failing to do on most Lexus models. Even then glad it's getting smaller felt like it was the last relic from the early/mid 2010s "stormtrooper helmet styling" epidemic that most design has shifted away from.

[@Rhaspun]

@@jadesded I think the head stylist for Lexus took his cue from Audi. Audi has some large front grills. But the guy in charge at Lexus took it to the max. He said he wanted the cars to look unique. Yeah make them unique. But make it attractive.

Lexus knocked it out of the park as the looks are both form and function. It looks rugged but has intentional design changes from the old GX460 to make it more of an off-road vehicle (lower window sills, squared off dash, high bumper and radiator configuration, etc.). Doug has apparently owned several Land Rovers but seems clueless to these huge improvements.

[@GM-kj6sb]

@@makeyourmark00 Agreed! Doug missed some facts on this review. I’m shocked that he’s not in love with it. He also mentioned that the high points on the hood are simply for looks to a callback to old off-roaders to tell the driver where the wheels are, however they site-lines are perfect from the driver seat. Other reviewers have pointed this out.

Hi Doug! I already watched this guy on your buddies channel Throttle House and after watching your video, the car only grows up on me. I think the design is truly superb and tough looking and despite it isn't as comfortable as some rivals, the looks in my opinion make the car a winner. I'm sure that if you own one of this, you are going to smile every time you get close. to it to take it for a ride. Other than that, not many cars have the fabulous off road capabilities of any of these Toyota group SUV's. So yes I'm sure that for a significant group of guys looking for something powerful looking and capable, this will be a very good choice. Thanks for another great vid Doug. All the best as always from West Spain 😊

[@maxon1672]

The surfacing, or “bulges” on the hood give you a reference point to your track width. As you learn the vehicle you can use this visual reference to place the wheels more accurately in an off road situation. It’s not to show you where the edge of the car is. This thing is unbelievably fantastic. Toyota is playing hardball and I love it. One of these is definitely in my future.

I have a ‘14 GX, which I love, but the predator grill is huge. For my money, there’s no way….in hell that I would actually purchase a Range/ Land Rover product or a ridiculous G-wagen. But some people don’t care about long term reliability. It also seems like Doug didn’t do much research into this vehicle before his review.

Other than that very cool.

[@Supercruze]

Honesty, this is a great interpretation of what the modern Land Cruiser always should have been. So happy Lexus decided to go with 18'' wheels and the bigger tires on this model. Just adds to the vintage look of a rugged off-roader. I can still remember the days with my 79 LC FJ40 and 15" wagon wheels on off-road tires. Just so appealing this modern day age of bigger wheels and tires.

I was concerned that the 'Egg View' was the only surround view available for this vehicle, which would be mind-boggling in today's tech environment. It took me a while to find an answer about this, and it came on a video from Toyota USA about how the PVM and MTM work on the new Tundra. The 'Egg View' is only available when the vehicle is stopped. When in motion, the Panoramic View Monitor (PVM; surround view) works like you'd expect with views of the front and sides, and even choices of available views to help navigate with an on-road focus. The upgraded Multi-Terrain Monitor (MTM) has slightly different angles and guidelines with a focus on off-roading.

[@byrongaray869]

You should understand this car has never been about Lexus. The big seller is the Land Cruiser Prado sold overseas, which is the one its always shared its platform with. The GX will always be whatever Toyota wants the Prado to be.

[@user-vx7vi3vq1c]

Nope, this will drive the prices of the V8 up.

My 2023 Lexus has that weird bubble camera, but also changes to a different view that gradually pans around you and shows you what all the cameras are seeing. It's pretty much useless, but the overhead view accompanying the backup cam is pretty nice.

[@user-oc8np6lm7m]

I’m glad to see that it has cornering lamps! Cornering lamps should be standard on all high end vehicles.

[@WilfredCruz]

I love the indicator for the brake lights. especially with the new cruis control i want to know when the lights are on.

[@Wuzzup129]

10:45 I mean, you COULD remove the label with a credit card and some isopropyl alcohol. It's just a sticker, after all.

[@s14wannab]

7 month back order for these. I love the way they look.

[@shane864]

First modern SUV I've ever wanted. 100k out the door is too much though. At 75 I'd have one. Not a truck person but Toyota is absolutely killing it with their new styling. Also, Doug, for fuck's sake hire someone with production experience even just consult on a lighting setup for in there.

[@aggiewoodie]

Sticker on this, in the US, starts at like $60K. Overtrail at $67K.

[@rajsteint6487]

I'm Canadian and out the door for an Overtrail + will be like 120 gran

[@Maidenrules29]

Maybe those 2 red lights on the instrument cluster coinciding with the brake lights are to let you know that your brake lights are working? Like if they dissappear from the display you have a brake light out? Actually a good idea.

[@tysonwells747]

You finally did a vid on a GX. Wish you did the 460!

[@steveguillory7568]

Doug, the problem with your recommendations over gx (velar, x5, q5, etc) is that I would never buy any of these. Their depreciation is atrocious and reliability after warranty expires is questionable. The TX, sure, but that’s sacrificing too much cool factor for me and I don’t need a giant third row.

[@geezheeztall8590]

The brawny exterior vibe reminded me of my 2004 V8 4Runner I had for many years

[@Impulset0]

My 2020 BMW 7 has auto seat and wheel heating/cooling. Neat feature for sure.

[@Spaceman-si9cs]

Thank you Doug and your cameraman for using the correct FPS camera to show the lights and HUD!

[@brandonmclaren4853]

I love the way it looks. not cartoonish to me at all. Just needs another set of tires.

[@Tr3ntsGames]

I assume brake lights on the dash in order to see when self driving features use the brakes

[@ThePdidds]

As an Australian I just love seeing all the eucalyptus trees in your vids. Apologies about the fire hazard. Haha

[@BuRNingFLaN]

Looking forward to your 2024 Land Cruiser showcase!🎉🎉

[@Mountain.man85]

I love the masculinity of the GX personally. It gives it a rugged badass look to it.

[@purwantiallan5089]

The look of the Lexus GX at the front looks like Tuned Muscle Car from Burnout 3.

[@isaac4273]

I think it looks bad, maybe a bit too upright and Land Rover-esque, especially when you take it side by side with the J150 Prado, which I think is gorgeous

[@Mountain.man85]

@@isaac4273 I can see that for sure bit to each his own.

[@sammymaestro7642]

21:08 the editor is absolutely right, it is the Land Cruiser Prado that this new J250 LC is replacing not the 200 series Americans know and love. That 200 series was rather replaced by the 300 which Americans don't get but is sold around the world. Just see this as you getting the LC Prado in it's latest generation

[@byrongaray869]

Thats exactly what ive been saying since they announced "the new LC", americans get fooled and believe so anything so easy. The best thing is in my country we get all these Toyota SUVS, LC300, Prado, Fortuner and new Sequoia.

[@glennnnnnnnnnnnnn]

Would assume the main function of the brake light indicator in the dash is when you use the auto crawl control function it tells you when the car is braking?

[@sylversyrfer6894]

I like the looks of this Lexus!!❤

[@alwaysiyi272]

I love this new GX, I think the styling is awesome and a big up for me is the fact that we can get massaging seats, in a Lexus product that is not a flagship. Awesome video Doug, but the person that edits these videos sometimes gets them wrong and it makes me laugh. Towards the end you mentioned the TX, and an RX was shown.

[@Nick210]

21:09 that’s a Landcruiser Prado, completely model different from a Landcruiser.

[@chicoh22a]

This thing looks awesome 😎

[@laurascott9484]

beautiful rig. we might get one.
