I lost my father back in 2014. Roman and Tommy's relationship reminds me so much of the one I had with ny dad...bickering, playfulness, fun, disagreements, etc. I love the dynamic. Keep it up and always love eachother.

[@jamisonjamisonx]

Always love that Roman is frustrated by everything no matter what! He gets frustrated that the Overtrail model doesn't have a 3rd row, but he's also frustrated at the amount of cargo space the 3rd row takes away...the only time I ever see Roman NOT frustrated is when he's wearing his rose colored glasses talking about how amazing Land Rover and Jaguar are. Edit to add: This post was not intended to attack or demean Roman (some of the replies are disappointing). The guy is an absolute entrepreneur and he took something he loves (cars) and built a huge thing out of it (far more than most of us have ever or will ever do). Yeah, he definitely loves weird cars, but that's ok. It's great that he has the right people around him who are experts, and, as @nkoeppen and @americandude3825 point out, he makes for a great "everyman" and "antagonist".

Roman does have access to lot of cars. However, he knows nothing about vehicles and says the dumbest things whenever he opens his mouth.

I understand Roman's comment about "too well made that its boring". I have a 08 FJ Cruiser and an 03 Hummer H1. Both are special vehicles. Only one has a real emotional connection and its by far the one that takes of all of my time working on. While the Hummer's name is "Clifford" the FJ's name is "Boring Bob".

I’ll never understand that. The moment a vehicle fails to function properly, it’s dead to me.

[@tritchie6272]

I find repairs to be much more expensive and time consuming than I like. So I'll take reliable any day of the week. And after breaking down once in the dead middle of winter, I find reliability doubly important in the Winter. And a Kentucky winter ain't really that bad comparatively speaking. But still it was a cold day.

[@nothingtoseaheardammit]

I think the GX Overtrail is a no-brainer. For $70k you can get the Overtrail with almost all of the offroad goodies for $10k less than the Ineos or $20k less than a smiliarly equipped Defender 110. For a luxury vehicle, its really a great value proposition.

[@youtubecarspottersguide1]

yes one can delete the moon roof in GX 550 overtrail price is $68150 if one can buy it for that price lot better buy than the 3 row luxury Family School bus over priced sequoia trd pro

[@TriRacr]

The Ineos Grenadier has loads of character but I can’t get over the poor slow steering and vehicle drift - especially if used as a daily driver. I wanted to like the Grenadier but this new GX ticks the boxes for the casual off-roader while including many luxury comforts most expect these days - for the same or less money than the Grenadier. I’m going to be one of those in line for this new GX.

[@TXJ232]

​@@youtubecarspottersguide1 Lexus isn't building any GX550s with the sunroof delete option and all of their builds for this year are loaded with options, so it won't be possible to find an Overtrail below $70k. Even the base Premium is being optioned up to $67k.

24:02 If that's the only function of the button, isn't it a little redundant? Can you not start in 2nd using manual mode? I think Toyota is botching this somewhat by bumping the LC price higher than they said they would. Some LC configurations basically overlap with this vehicle now..

[@LexusGX460-OFF-ROAD]

no it's not redundant, it deletes 1st gear entirely in drive until you turn it off. As Tommy stated it's for snow on and off road and even sand mud off road... it will constantly put you in 2nd from a dead stop so you don't slip in the snow taking off from a light etc...

[@lawrenceralph7481]

Don't think so. All are more expensive than the market can bear. The base taco, the base Highlander, the base Prius and the base ice RX4 are what's going to sell well. The automotive marketing world has blinders on. Ordinary US folks won't make $1000 per mo. car payments when lesser $500 alternatives are available.

The Defender 110 can be obtained with three rows. Regarding competitors the majority of Lexus GX buyers are not cross shopping the GX with every three row SUV in the same price range so just listing all of those misses the mark. The majority of Lexus buyers are conservative when it comes to vehicles. They want luxury but they value reliability, and also cost of ownership when it comes to maintenance. The majority are not cross shopping the GX with Rivian, Ineos, Wagoneer, etc.

[@youtubecarspottersguide1]

Defender 110 the 3rd row has no leg room and no cargo space with the 3rd row in use

Relax you California Communist. Dealers can only get what someone is willing to pay. YOU WOULD DO THE SAME. If two buyers walk into your dealership and one offers MSRP and the other +$20K, don't try to make me believe you'd walk away from twenty grand. Don't be a limp-wristed liberal.

[@andyweber8606]

My two cents, every time Roman says this car is just two expensive he is identifying that it exceeds his budget to purchase (me too!). As a mid 50’s guy that would consider the purchase of the 60-70k version of this, I have zero interest in a third row seat. I don’t need a team bus. I want a capable vehicle that can tow from time to time, go off-road at a minimum of Subaru capabilities (ironic that 85% of the off road vehicles today don’t match it for ground clearance) and offer comfort in my daily commute. Advanced cruise control, power to drive mountain passes without wringing its neck, and stylish looks. At an appropriate trim level this checks those boxes for me.
