Is the Cheapest 2024 Lexus TX 350 Worth It? I think so!

[@robbyt.179]

Nice to see a base trim instead of top of the line vehicles.

[@Visible-gm4gs]

Where I live you also pay a $5k premium for the Highlander because Toyota dealers kinda blow. Lexus which just try to find you what you want and charge msrp

[@bryana8383]

Instead of getting the cheapest TX, it would be better to get the most expensive Grand Highlander because the price is exactly the same and you get all the perks plus higher HP and torque!

[@painkilerr]

As well as actual exhaust pipes

[@Sinu_07-fu7ce]

Not for me. If you look at the overall quality experience, I’ll go with Lexus without all the perks instead of Toyota with perks

[@bryana8383]

@Sinu_07-fu7ce how does the quality experience of the Lexus differ from the quality experience of the Toyota at the Platinum level? At the Toyota Platinum level, you get just as good leather and styling plus you get better gas mileage, you can use regular unleaded, panoramic roof, electronic rear view mirror and you also get the Hybrid engine. The cheapest TX would give you the gas engine. That also means more reliability as the Hybrid engine would last longer because there is less maintenance. No drive belt, no starter, no alternator and the Hybrid battery is warrantied for 10 years.

But you sacrifice the 8 passenger configuration in the most expensive highlander

Yeah the interesting comparison would be one of the high end trim Grand Highlander (e.g. Platinum) vs. This base model TX 350 (especially if their costs are in the same ball park). That's a video I'd watch.

[@MUTV2]

the cup holders at 2:08 are a design flaw. It feels like they just didnt know how to design nice cup holders. It looks terrible and the modular part is dumb. It looks cheap as well. Just my opinion. They should have taken some notes from the hyundai palisade holders where the cup holder comes out and folds in on a button. Not the entire holder comes out

[@danielvilchez50]

Toyota has ALWAYS sucked at designing cup holders. So much so that I make some side money selling cup holder inserts for some older Camrys and Solaras on Etsy. 😂

This is a great vehicle for those who need the capacity to carry 7 comfortably with high safety, comfort, reliability.

[@Baasicstuff]

Grand Highlander all the way, I have the 2.4 t and you are correct plenty of performance and will not drop in value like the hybrid will when you need that $5k battery replacement done at year 8. Also the hybrid whieghts in a 700 LBS more! thats so expect more wear and tear on the brakes, suspension, and tires

[@shhmasood]

Generally, a Hybrid has lower maintenance on brake pads, as the motor is used for braking and re-generating more electricity.. yes performance-wise, I would not want a hybrid.. plus I am not sure about suspension either.. maybe hey jack that up too..

[@harrys2331]

the gas savings might save you $5k and then some too.

[@rainfallseattle]

What makes you think hybrid battery requires replacement at year 8? It certainly doesn't, and it will last 20 years.

[@Baasicstuff]

@@rainfallseattle Resale value of most hybrids back up my opinions. I get it, you spent the money, the 5k more upfront and you will also experience the 5k loss on the back end also. But you will save in gas.....if you do city miles, be happy. Facts are facts, and the tech just isn't there yet, Toyota is getting close.....close; but not there yet. Love the brake pad argument, lol a break job is $300, and Im at 110 k on a Focus ST, still dont need one, it amazes me when people bring this up. Something tha car salesman told them obviously.

[@TheSummerOfGeorge1]

Wrong. Statistically hybrids have much better resale value

[@Jarro21]

The one thing i was looking for is the bench seat because most videos have been showing the hybrids with the captain's chair. I have always only bought lexus and Toyotya however I'm observing trends where the customer has to be compromising too much on basic things that you'd expect the designers to know better. The middle second row seat (shown at 5:13 mark) has and indentation which makes it shorter from back to front and will make it uncomfortable to sit in. This design has been a complaint by customers in the industry for years and many manufacturers have resolved to making the bench seats linear all the way accross. Disappointing that Lexus has done this. It's a retrograde design. These simple things matter to people buying this for families which is who these are marketed to. Certainly not the best seat as they say in the ads.

[@bbbt8090]

My thoughts exactly about the bench seats! People who buy these 3 row suvs need the bench seat!!! From what I've heard is the manufacturers delete the bench seat for the top models because the extra weight causes issues with towing and packaging. Since the low end models have less tech (less weight to carry) and the higher end models have more tech which equals to more weight

[@Jarro21]

​@@bbbt8090Yeah, I just think Toyota has been guilty of what I call lazy engineering lately. The purpose of an engineer is ti solve problems and they've been compromising and short changing too much functionality instead of solving the problem for the consumers they are targeting. If I'm buying a TX with captain's chairs, I can easily not need a 3 row SUV. They market these for families who need a 3rd row but then limit seating capacity to only 6 person which is only one more seating capacity than a 2 row. Makes no sense. From what I can see from Toyota, if you have a family of 5, especially with 3 growing children, the only true practical option you have is the minivan in the entire lineup. I currently have a Rav4 and was looking at options when we go on road trips or if a family member or friend is visiting and nothing except the the minivan truly satisfies those needs and yet toyota/lexus markets atleast 6 vehicles they say should meet those demands. The previous gen Sequoia was perfect and now it's garbage. The new gens are all falling short and when you compare to GM and Ford options, they are way more practical. I think many people who buy other brands would buy Toyota but Toyota is not listen to the consumer and I'm a Toyota guy for 26 years.

[@bbbt8090]

@jasonrobinson5753 Even with 3 kids, I'd never get a mini van, haha. Maybe with 4, I may think about it, but I'd just get a sequoia sized suv.

The tank capacity states 17 gals but when the gauge says E and light comes on it will only let you put in about 12 gallons of gas. That sucks and heard they have class action lawsuits against them on the RAV4 hybrid models for the same way. Upon researching its due to the fuel tanks saddle like shape. I think we will just get the gas version we dont want to pay 60k for a vehicle and not be able to fill it and have all these issues. Toyota should be ashamed!
