Lexus FINALLY Builds a Dirt Worthy GX Overtrail To Take on The Land Rover Defender!

[@thebigguy8306]

Thank you, Tommy and Roman, informative review. Love the boxy Land Rover styling. I'd really like one, and I didn't get one for Christmas

[@maxkendal5152]

Traffic Jam Assist? The only extra most Lexus owners will ever need!

[@briangallagher7961]

Seriously living in Jersey yes I’d buy that feature! Also this model is better suited for pot hole crawling!

[@PeakDecline]

I like it. The second and third owners are going to love these things. First owners might take them through a couple dirt roads in a National Park.

[@symple19]

There are two overtrail editions, a base and a plus. This one appears to be the plus, but if you get the base it still has all the important off road stuff and is significantly cheaper (until dealers inevitably mark them up, at least.) The base starts at $69k while the + starts at $77k. I'm eager to get my hands on a used one in the future, and I'll be looking for a base model, not the plus. For somebody who wants to offroad I think that one will be the sweet spot as the plus version just seems to be filled up with luxury features that I personally don't need. They are great looking rigs, can't wait for them to hit dealers so we can start seeing some builds.

[@Cocky.Rooster]

You can order base without sunroof to take off another $1000-$1100. Trying to confirm base still has power liftgate just no foot kick sensor.

[@nothingtoseaheardammit]

I think the standard Overtrail is where the value is. You can get a ton of good features and still make out with a $70k price which I think is a steal for what you get.

[@Slythey]

Lexus is one of a few manufacturers that lets you get heated/ventilated seats and a few other creature comforts in the low/base trim models, whereas everyone else tends to lock them up to mid tier or top tier. That's why I never see a need to buy a Lexus vehicle beyond base/premium- the luxury versions generally add stuff that no one cares about (rear door kick sensor, power 3rd row, rear air suspension, rear entertainment, worse wheels for ride quality).

[@TXJ232]

​@Cocky.Rooster Lexus doesn't allow custom orders anymore. All of the initial allocations will be loaded with options and will have a sunroof.

[@Cocky.Rooster]

[@LexusGX460-OFF-ROAD]

*GX been dirt ready since the GX470... you can't go wrong with a GX* 😅

[@grisa12345]

Interesting video title. The GX550 wasn’t developed to take on the Defender. If anything, the Defender was built to take sales from the GX460, but between the new GX and Defender I think most people will be taking a GX if they can get one. Body on frame, solid rear axle, full time 4wd, more reliable brand etc.

[@ckm-mkc]

More reliable is really the only differentiator, but it's huge. Otherwise they are equally capable off road. As they say in Australia "If you want to go off road, take a Land Rover. If you want to come back, take a Toyota."

[@Slaxsvo]

Highly doubt a vehicle like the Defender was worried about the GX460. lol

[@grisa12345]

@@Slaxsvo If you know much about the auto market and its consumers, you would know that yes, Defender was designed with the hope of acquiring conquest customers from Lexus and other brands. Defender sells in smaller numbers -NEW- than Lexus moves the dinosaur GX460. Of course Land Rover wants some of those sales..

[@clarionguy7712]

More of a brand preference. Each vehicle will have its own fans no matter what.

[@jonmc7583]

Just to clarify, the one youre showing/pricing is the overland plus. The regular overland is about 8-10k less.

[@joshgonzalez2112]

I wonder if you could transfer the front form the LC to this?

[@exparrot9074]

How is the Mark Levinson sound system in the new GX? The previous gen it was unfortunately a bit lackluster, while in the IS it was phenomenal.

[@flyfishac11]

It’s marketing and the marketeers have it right. It’s direct competition with the LR Defender and a perfect response. Both are cool and the 2nd hand market will have a lot of fun with this one in years to come!

[@torquematters8815]

Could not agree more with Tommy! As a family with an aging LX570 I really wanted to consider the GX550 Overtrail, but without the third row I can't justify it. I want to take my kids with me on my adventures. Adding the option to have a third row is a must. Also worth noting I love the fact that you can get an Overtrail trim WITHOUT a sunroof.

[@antonahill1750]

D the back seats just fold down or do the tumble also?

EXCELLENT review guys, well done-stunning vehigle-thank you for posting. & update.

[@R56Cooper]

The upcoming hybrid Land Cruiser will come standard with a 2400 watt inverter--- something that isnt yet offered with the Lexus. For powering a campsite or small trailer, can use the inverter, and not have to bring a portable generator + extra gas.

[@getinthespace7715]

Inverters are cheap. The batteries aren't though.

[@Dusdaddy]

What are you bringing? A TV, Xbox and fridge? That's not camping. A 400w inverter should suffice.

[@chibbyylol]

Due to it being a hybrid, the upcoming hybrid GX will likely share the same inverter

[@CJ-rk5eg]

The battery will also take up cargo space i- see the LC 250 pictures

[@PeakDecline]

​@@Dusdaddy Fridges are extremely common for overlanding setups. It eliminates dealing with ice and offers far better temperature control. If you're on multiple week long trips that's a huge plus. I've done lots of backpacking in my life. I have no shame in bringing creature comforts with me on overlanding trips and it means friends and family are far more likely to come along.

[@stevecarlson2346]

A nice choice for an upscale off roader. As an owner of a built GX460, I am a bit dismayed that the front fascia isn't more modular and accommodating of a winch bumper, as mentioned in the video. I had to deal with this on the 460, and it is a PITA, making for a loooong day to install a bumper. I am also a bit dismayed that the new powertrain is only 2 mpg better than the old one, albeit with more power. I'll stick with my NA V8 for that tradeoff.

[@jimmy-buffett]

I'm looking at that front bumper imagining all the plastic I'm going to have to cut to put a winch on it. It's a shame they didn't do something more modular like on the Land Cruiser.

[@stevecarlson2346]

@@jimmy-buffett I was intimidated by the idea of cutting the fascia on my 460. The reality was, it was not really difficult at all, but very fiddly and time consuming to get right without going too far too soon.

[@jimmy-buffett]

@@stevecarlson2346 it's all about the template that the bumper folks give you. I have an Expedition One bumper on my 4Runner and had to cut a bit of plastic. It looks like Lexus made the bottom center insert on the bumper the spot where they expect you to put a winch, which means no full winch bumper. The parking sensors seem too low to put a bumper over them, looks like they would need to be relocated.

[@Marks.Reviews]

Can you please ask the engineer why the overtrail has this plastic on the transmission hump in front of the rear seat and the premium has the transmission hump covered in what looks to be the same material as the floor which is how it should be for the overtrail? That plastic on the transmission hump in the overtrail is going to get scuffed/damaged in no time.

[@croaker4747]

I’ll just stick with my 200 Series. However, this is a nice SUV. I would choose it over a Defender for sure. I just wish they would bring the 300 over here. I swear sometimes I think Toyota just hates money.

[@runnerxa]

LX600 does come in a more off-road package with front and rear lockers. That is a level above GX550 Overtrail with only the rear locker. The Off Road package is not available in the US/North America version of LX600. You can purchase that in the Japanese market and certain markets. LC300 GR Sport also can be speced with front and rear locker. With the current yen to USD rate, it is cheaper to buy LX600 with Off Road package than in the US. But you'd have to use it in Japan... So unless you are Japanese or married to a Japanese, it is pretty much a no go for most of us in the US. Same with the LC300 GR Sport, 8 million yen for diesel or 7.7 million yen for TTV6 petrol; that is about $54,500 USD!

[@lunamaria1048]

An integrated stealth winch will be super easy, where the removable part goes. Similar to where my 4Runner's winch is!😊 Excellent video!

[@yayinternets]

Great overview guys! I totally agree with your last point about not needing to upgrade. My qualifications: my GX460 was literally the very first 460 to have a Toytec lift installed. 😂. I was buying 4Runner parts blindly way back when because the 460 didn’t have anything available when I started my build. This thing comes from the factory ready to go off-road with 33s. Most people should be able to leave it pretty close to stock and still be able to do 80% of what Colorado offers.

[@brianthompson3809]

Wish it had the 40/20/40 split rear seat like the 4Runner. Nice for taking 4 folks on a ski trip with all the gear inside.... and also a flat rear surface area with all seats folded down. Otherwise loving everything else. Can not wait to see one in person

[@edwardpeters4700]

In all honesty, I think the GX550 Overtrail models are more Land Cruiser than the new Land Cruiser 250. eKDSS is a phenomenal system. The manual disconnecting swaybar in the LC250 is a step back from eKDSS. 3 to 5 years from now the Overtrail is going to be an incredibly high value lease return.

[@PeakDecline]

If you plan on never upgrading suspension then eKDSS is an awesome system. But if you want to upgrade the suspension to long travel with extra long control arms and such, then eKDSS makes that far more difficult and costly. I also have some questions about how the differential in the front is setup. The GX 550 has the 3.4L V6 engine found in the Tundra. The Tundra has a front differential design that is incompatible with front lockers. The LC250 meanwhile is the 2.4L hybrid shared with the new Tacoma. The new Tacoma's front differential is compatible with a front locker. If GX550/LC250 match their engine siblings... then that's another area where the LC250 could be superior for those planning to modify for more capability. I also think the body work on the LC250 looks like it'll be easier to fit steel bumpers front and rear, or at least require far less cutting.

[@edwardpeters4700]

@GnosticDevice For the type of vehicle it is, 33ˋs as available factory are sufficient. As for suspension modifications, itˋs different, not impossible. Thereˋs no shortage of tastefully modified LC200ˋs and TRD Offroad 5th gen 4Runners. Bumpers will be a bit more difficult for those who donˋt like cutting plastic, but no worse than it is for LX570 drivers.

[@PeakDecline]

@@edwardpeters4700 If you think 33s are fine then that's cool, this is probably the right vehicle for you and eKDSS the right system. I want more capability and I believe the LC250 will be easier to build to that capability. LC200 vs LX570 is a perfect example of why these complicated systems can be an issue for modifying. The LX570 with its ACH system has far fewer aftermarket options. And yet again the bumper situation... less options, more cutting. I'm just explaining to you why people would choose the LC250 over the GX550. I think it'll be easier to modify and have more options. But if you don't want to go that far... then sure the GX550 seems right for you.

[@edwardpeters4700]

@GnosticDevice 33ˋs are fine for the next vehicle Iˋm currently contemplating (mostly a still capable but nice daily for my wife). Going harder or doing more difficult trails is what my 80 series is for.

[@Jay-me7gw]

@@PeakDecline Total Chaos offers mid travel KDSS compatible arms for the 4Runner/GX460 so I am not sure why that wouldnt be possible with these new ones. Additionally, the pictures and videos I've seen of the GX550 eKDSS system, it uses conventional sway bar end links as opposed to the bar being mounted directly to the arm like on the GX460. So i really dont think that will be an issue. You can keep the end link mounts in the same position on the arms and still run longer travel setup while retaining decent handling on the road.

[@donleamon8653]

So I just sat in the Overtrail (err whatever Over label they attach) GX at Barrett-Jackson in Scottsdale. Meh. Felt like a RAV4 inside. My '97 LX450 is a damn bit nicer feeling. Granted, you're not expecting a real fancy interior for this use case, but it just felt overly plastic-y inside. Missed having real analog cluster too. Exterior proportions were nice. The new Prado 250 was over in the Toyota booth. Front end with the round lights looks nice in person. No Ineos at the show which would have been nice to compare to.

[@hedges00]

I have a strong preference for Toyota and Lexus vehicles, but it's essential not to overlook the fact that Land Rover's Terrain Response System boasts an exceptional off-road program, even without a differential lock. Despite Land Rover being perceived as less durable compared to others, its off-road capabilities are truly impressive.

[@MercOne]

I think I like the Land Cruiser more, but I like the V6 in the GX550. This pricing for the GX is in the heart of the market and it goes without saying this thing is going to sell faster than they can make them. The question still remains though, where will the next 4Runner fit in with the LC and GX?

[@Jay-me7gw]

I wish they were putting the 3.4L V6 in the Tacoma and LC. Even if it was detuned. Im not super interesting in the hybrid

That’s a really good review. I liked how you compared it to the new LC and the 4Runner specs.

[@trailrunnah8886]

At first I was thinking the 1958 Land Cruiser at 55k was the way to go, but after pricing one of these out without a sunroof at 69k on the Lexus site, this might be worth the extra coin. I'm super curious about that hybrid powertrain though, so the jury is still out.

[@Yogi5D]

All Toyota/Lexus SUV trucks are best in segment so you cant go wrong with any of them starting at 45k with the 4Runner not bad

[@nothingtoseaheardammit]

I've seen videos of these things offroad - was that taken at this event? I've spec'd out a basic Overtrail edition for just over $70k and am thinking of sending the order to the dealer....

The side swinging door is amazing for opening it in the garage and not having to expose myself to the northeast weather .

[@jimmy-buffett]

The "From The Ground Up" videos that Lexus has been putting out about this truck were shot in Colorado on Imogene Pass last fall. This GX drive event was this week and the driving impressions are embargoed until February 1st. So the videos you're seeing most likely weren't at this event.

@@ALMX5DP The New Land Cruiser DOES NOT have a 3rd row either on any trim levels. 2 row only. The LX600 has Crawl Control and Turn Assist as well as Multi-terrain Select but Im not spending the extra $20k-$55k on that. We are also buying an MDC XT17 Family off grid travel trailer at the same time so that would be pushing it with the overall budget. If I can equip a used 2014+ LX570 with a Harrop 2650 that makes around 400whp, an LRA 40 gallon aux tank, and toss on portals for $80k Ill have a very capable vehicle for around the same price of the Overtrail+ and have plenty of room for the family.

Why does the engine make less power in this thing than it does in the tundra? Especially since Lexus probably states premium fuel only, whereas the tundra can use 87?

Detuned from the tundra / LX600 likely for reliability and to not step on their toes in the lineup If this got the same tune and power as the LX600 while also having eKDSS and a rear locker (that the LX600 doesn't get) while having 90% of the interior...who would want to get the LX lol

I think not that not having a 3rd on the Overtrain is a miss because as far I can tell, you can have the floor fold flat. Whereas in the Premium and Premium+ you can, at least from the videos I have seen. Unless you really want ALL the off-road goodies, it seems the Premium/Premium+ trims may be better. An additional point, mostly a styling issue, it seems to me the Overtrail have a lot of gloss black on the exterior, which would not handle scuffs and scratches well.

Probably watches your eyes and beeps if you look away too long.

I'd buy one, especially after a review like this....

My 2007 BMW 330xd M was 94k new so to get a Lexus GX with e-KDSS for 70k in 2024 is a steal

Very exciting Lexus off-road

[@scr3wb4ll82]

I blame KZbin. Influencers always talk about how "off-road" capable a GX is. They are missing the reason people buy them. Sure a twenty year old used Lexus GX might be taken off-road. Show me one person, that knows anything about going off-road, that would spend around $70k + on a GX just to beat it up. You can get just about anywhere on a paved road in America. If you require an off-road capable vehicle for the area you live in, your probable just going to get a pickup truck. Americans aren't doing the school run through fields like people in England or traveling on undeveloped roads in sub-sarhan Africa. How did it take a pothole? How comfy is the ride on I-95? These are the real questions. You should make a poll asking people if they would buy this truck and take it off a paved surface.

I am planning on roughing up an Overtrail+ with a Campteq pop up on top off road

"Show me one person, that knows anything about going off-road, that would spend around $70k + on a GX just to beat it up." /raises hand I help run a large offroading club here in Denver, I plan on buying one of these and offroading it. Maybe in a few years when the aftermarket has figured out how to put a winch on it.

What do you people think happens off road? Do you believe people are running into rocks and just smashing up bumpers and quarter panels? It is possible to wheel without wrecking the shit out of a truck. Plenty of people do it. If you've ever been off road you'd realize there are plenty of tracks that are just tracks that still require 4wd and 4lo to crawl through so you aren't damaging the crap out of a trail. That puts no effort on any vehicle and no damage. Not every owner puts their truck into a rock. No one is dropping their truck in a mud pit either. There's plenty of offroading in between that is still mellow and yet gets you out into the country.

@@d1sturb3d119 exactly. I’ve been plenty of places in Moab, backcountry Utah, Mexico, Colorado, and I believe with oversized tires (32-35” and up) and skill you can actually get through most things without damaging your vehicle

Screen is flush with dash. Nice to see. Most Toyota screens pop over dash.

[@dadventuretv2538]

Just saw one at the auto show. It was pretty nice. I think if I had been looking to replace my former LR4 with something similar this would be high in the running. I love that engine. When I used the builder it came in at just under $73K which is actually a pretty good deal these days.

[@korewest]

Is the tailgate height adjustable?

[@LexusGX460-OFF-ROAD]

most toyta gates are adjustable... the Sienna one is

[@ryzen397]

I'd get the premium, the overtrail+ is over 13K more! BUT, I absolutely love the look of the new GX. It's just bad ass

[@MW-pw9ip]

I appreciate the evolution of this series, but frankly this makes me appreciate the outgoing models more. I trust Toyota/Lexus’ ability to continually improve so we’ll see.

[@Robert.Blodgett]

How much can it tow?

[@DirtEveryWeekend]

This has to be a Overtrail + I am assuming I just built an Overtrail the way I want I deleting moonroof dropped it down to $68k. Added full length roof rack and some other items and I am at just over $70k. I am excited to get one coming off lease as second owner still loving my GX460 for now this will be next.

[@ozman528]

It's gonna be a tough decision between this and a 300 series GR in a year or so. ATM I'm leaning more towards the Lexus. Looking forward to more reviews

[@nd2620]

Really wishing they had put a 3rd row in this one. As a 4th Gen 4runner owner (built up for off roading in Colorado), I now have a family and am ready to upgrade to the LC or 550 but need a 3rd row. Here's to hoping they decide to put one in in a future year.

[@rostamr4096]

I wish GX Overtrail + would have come with the panoramic roof as an option...it would have been just perfect

[@ty90k80]

Please show us the Base one

[@robyates136]

Are vehicle-specific tires ever a good idea?
