Lexus may not have the best mpg but the Engine will last the longest in reliability and run forever.

[@JanBartos24]

About the look you couldn't be more wrong! It is actually most beautiful full-size suv and Lexus did a great job!

[@claytonw_cz]

I own '16 LX570 and I take it off-road quite often. No problem with it. After a year and half, it has just a few minor scratches. But of course, the first thing I did after taking it home from the dealership was a wheel swap. I use 18" wheels from Land Cruiser and some not very aggressive AT tires (275/65/18, Michelin LTX AT2). And it works great for easy to medium difficulty off-road trails (I have a different truck for extremely difficult trails). There is one big difference between LX and Land Cruiser. LX has an Electro-Hydraulic Active Suspension System. It makes a difference on a highway but it's a miracle off-road. It allows you to drive it on dirt roads somewhere in a desert almost as fast as a racing car. But of course, you will travel in much higher comfort. You did not find it in your review but I fully understand - it does not make any sense to take LX off-road with the factory 21" wheels and low profile tires. You would just damage the wheels. LX570 is a great SUV. Probably the best on the planet. But just for people who are able to use it for what it was designed (O.K., let's forget now the 21" wheels and the people in Lexus responsible for this completely wrong wheel choice). There is no other car which can take you on a road trip with your family in such a comfort and you are not limited to paved roads only.

[@TurboDiesel-zf8ph]

claytonw agreed a got a 2012 LX570 about a year ago and I've taken it way off-road I've even had people at the end of trails say in a surprised voice you took that thing off road I also think the phase 1 LX is it better off-road because the numbers aren't as fancy so you don't care as much about scratches

[@ShowemRight]

You have a one of a kind Kickass vehicle, and its nice to know it has the potential to go any where on the planet and not just limited to asphalt or concrete with a wheel swap.

[@AndroidProUser]

I wish Toyota would bring their overseas land cruisers lineup here. Especially the 79 series.

[@Cristobal_Ygnacio_Arriaga]

John Edmonds I wish that too but considering that the 70 series lineup is an old school truck as basic as you can get and also very expensive I'm pretty sure car reviewers here in America would destroyed at once in their reviews

[@ConnorGibbsAK]

John Edmonds As much as I wish they would, like the Aussie pickups with the snorkel, they would not sell well. However, I think a possibly great marketing strategy would be to bring just a few over, with minor US modifications to match import standards, and market it as a limited version. Since most Americans aren't aware that you can actually still buy that model overseas, I'm sure lots of people would spend money thinking that Toyota created a classic version that year just for them! But I would love to see it. Although, might just be cheaper go to that company in one of TFLs previous videos where you can buy old G-Wagons for cheap 😂😂

[@jaroneg8737]

John Edmonds the Hilux and Fortuner :(

[@Queensizemusic]

John Edmonds the US Military just ordered a slew of 79 Series Land Cruisers. I still hope against hope that Toyota will bring them here for civilian sales.

[@mountainhobo]

+John Edmonds "I wish Toyota would bring their overseas land cruisers lineup here. Especially the 79 series." -- In a way it will. Remember the classic Toyota Land Cruiser J40? It morphed into FJ40. While temporarily discontinued in the US, I understand it is coming back soon in an updated format.

[@manveerbajwa2206]

You guys need to understand that they made this truck for the Middle East like Dubai. These features are made specifically to their needs since it sells their so well.

[@wefixit5906]

i think your kid should learn more about lexus before you review the car.

[@SamiKhan-hn3uk]

Yes, I would buy this over anything.

[@grandizer4531]

Interior is gorgeous.

[@williebosman8056]

You would be surprised to know that mine goes offroad regularly with the right tires it will go to a lot of places most others will not. Modified with a bullbar in front (Kangeroo diverter) and 35" tires I have as yet to find a spot I cannot get to. Mine will get a Supercharger soon as I do believe it is a bit underpowered for what it is. But then no vehicle that comes out of the factory is perfect on and off-road you have to adapt it a bit to get the best out of the platform. Mine has a lost of mods to come in the end It will be an off-road weapon with excellent on road big distance touring capability.

[@RomanKozlov007]

It seems as though Lexus is trying to connect 20th and 21st centuries in this LX. I love it!

[@chrissarkis3521]

FFS. Why juge its offroad capabilities when you didn't even take it offroad? Like i watched a video on the MotorTrendChannel and that LX was a complete beast offroad

[@TFLtruck]

+Chris Sarkis 1) yes we've taken it off-road and 2) MotorTrend tore the hell out of the LX doing thousands of dollars worth of damage off-road proving our point that you can't take this truck off-road.....unless you want to take it to the repair shop the next day.

[@robinjitsingh2764]

The Fast Lane Truck I watched the whole video and couldn't see a single part where the car was on sand expect while u were taking a turn.. 😑.. increase ur budget and make videos more productive okay... watch motor trend channel for more info 😂

[@SamiKhan-hn3uk]

@TheFastLaneTruck even thpugh it is gonna cost you to repair it, it is one of the most capable and reliable vehicles on earth (Lets not forget the car that is the cousin/brother or basically the same: The Land Cruiser 200)

[@HANSE658]

Robinjit Singh you dont know how the world works, you don't just increase budget, they can literally not afford doing that kind of damage and the repercussions of doing that to such a major car company

[@Queensizemusic]

The Fast Lane Truck the barest modicum of suspension lift and larger tires and this thing is positively unstoppable. This and the LandCruiser are, without question, the best off-road vehicles on earth - build quality, capability, toughness, reliability, and, when it does break down, worldwide parts availability.

[@osaruonamepeterjuniorigie2847]

This kid knows not what he is saying the range rover is style over substance while the lx is substance over style. This rig can go 20yrs with little or no issues but a range can barely go 5years or survive 15years.

[@topshelf30]

range rovers are only good for 3 years after that everything is downhill.

[@c0xy95]

its nice your doing videos with your son . works really well

[@maniac32145]

FUN FACT: 10 year old used lexus lx 570 with 100k miles average cost 30-35k. 10 year old escalade- around 18-20k. 2008 Land rover Range rover (10 years old) you can get for 12-13k with 100k miles. You can look it up yourself. And all those trucks brand new cost about the same 100k for each one, depreciation speaks for itself lol.

[@MrTeslaX]

but you pay more in gas so end of the day it evens out

[@subhan12340]

3:13 In middle east this model sells like anything and people here by this particular vehicle because they want to offroad but they also want to taste a bit of that luxury. And the only offroad trail available here is soft sand so I PERSONALLY don't think that it really matters whether you have 20' or 18' wheels for a trail of that kind..

[@concretejungle77]

it has plenty potential an just like 4runners or anything like people buy them and modify them if you have the money and you modify the lx570 you will have an off road beast , lift it with good shit put the right wheels and tires on, do the gearing chip it if u can etc etc and see what the 570 can do.

[@aaronfrench8322]

I love that interior!!!

[@mikedenman2567]

I have a 2017, and it has 21-inch wheels and the departure angle is increased considerably by raising the "hydraulic" suspension

[@mrmaaical8727]

Roman Mica is by far the best one to review cars, love his confidence and the way he’s so honest.

[@kellingtonlink956]

Though it could be forgotten ... there is something called a Lincoln Navigator worth considering. As well the MB-G Class or Infinity QX. Good and thorough review. Thanks.

[@armanelahi7069]

Son, you got a cool dad!

[@mountainhobo]

Father-son good cop, bad cop car review routine. It might work well if Roman is not afraid to get a bit more confrontational (and I understand why it won't be easy in such a duet).

[@Tully3674]

Its a nice concept but instead of working off notes, at times they are working off a script.

[@mountainhobo]

It may take a while before they get confident in this arrangement to switch to notes and ditch the script. The delivery should improve then and become more natural.

[@Soh90]

Ugh Tommy "buddy" please shut up. You made it so obvious that you were just disagreeing for the sake of disagreeing. There's a lot going on in the design? How so? None of your comments have any substance. You literally sounded like a broken record of all the blanketed statements made about cars. Your comments sound like they came straight out of "The Encyclopedia Of Automotive Critique" - if there ever was a book like that. "I think there's a lot going on that just doesn't work together and it's just not a cohesive design in my mind" Ok? Elaborate! What about the design isn't cohesive to you? You act like Lexus drafted the front of a Toyota Supra onto a Hummer body. I truly hate when people make blanketed statements like that. You don't have to like the design, but when you say things like "it's just not a cohesive design" it's truly irritating. Especially when the design is very much cohesive. The sharpness of the front matches the sharpness of the back, the grille is large and proud, the design is unmistakably Japanese and the swagger is without a doubt Lexus. Either bring some sauce to the show and make interesting in depth comments, or go back to driving your Jeep. I literally stopped watching the video after 2 minutes because I could sense the genericness seeping through every second.

[@AbzAden]

Cecil L fam mans not hot, bring that souse no ketchup 😂

[@roroguapo3]

not fast, everything else yes, but not fast. sorry.

[@Dexter4r]

I think Roman is also a very generic critic. Never detailed like other auto reviewers. Like father like son, I guess.

[@pondyellow3286]

Now it’s 2020, and they got a Landcruiser defender that’s been in the shop since purchase

[@LorenzoMoore1000]

That turn assest is awesome.

[@allexxmaxx]

ok it is an OLD platform ... but its very good ... how old is the G-wagon of MB ? Puch steyer is actually from 1979 (almost 40y) and platform still in use today

[@Kmoxstar]

Just put this 5.7 v8 in the next gen 4runner.

[@user-nf5zt4kr6p]

will you please do a 3 wheel roller test for the lx570 and the GX 460

[@Goregch]

The sons face at 11:10 is priceless. I guess that LX is not the one lol

[@datdudeinred]

11:11 yeah you guys are totally buddies... best TFL moment ever

[@Mustafa-ue7is]

where i live it's over US $300,000 to import in the country legally until and unless you have the plugs lol and crazy part is people actually buy it, and can been seen quite a bit in the city

[@leviSyosef]

The rover is broken from the factory This lexus will last 20 years And will drive the same in 20 years from now

[@ConnorGibbsAK]

"Oh look! I didn't hit Tommy. That's good" 😂😂😂

[@scottsmith6571]

Look at other videos where they rock crawl with the nex lx570 yes running boards get hit but it makes it up the mountain

[@shahrukhabbas7687]

lexus lx 570 and Infiniti QX80 2018 are the king of all suvs.

[@regsparkes6507]

I have to wonder at the gawd-awful grille on this Lexus., and for the money , I'd go with the Land Cruiser, IF I HAD to buy a Toyota based product. My choice in this segment would be the Escalade, mainly for the simplicity and broader service based coverage. I did notice that Son was a tad apprehensive over Dad's ability to navigate the turns at high(er) speed. The look on Tommy's face was priceless !

[@tvanb]

one of the most comfortable SUVs on the market.

[@lorenzoo4259]

Love the buddy review. Keep it up!

[@matthewlitty1781]

Literally shocked at the comments on this video. If you guys disagree with the reviewer's opinion, so what?! No two people have the same opinion. & as far as the comments go with Tommy being in the video, again...who cares? We were all once his age...I personally think he seems very mature. Move along people...

[@JosephVE3GKT]

Why were all three jeeps red? Were they prototype testing?

[@MrHealthcareman]

Yeah this car has the potential to do A lot more than most SUV outside of a few. It is heavy and eats gas! We have a 09 LX and it is phenomenal. Linear or not unlike Range Rover and it’s competitor the LX will hold its value and owner will have equity at all times if they choose to trade in -

[@maddog8148]

Tommy is right!! The inside says it can do it but the outside of the vehicle cant do it. It's still a nice truck. But I believe Range Rover is more cohesive all together. I still love the it though. Go Lexus!

[@PeterNordBushcraft]

It can be modified like the LX 570 J201 and GX modifications but it is mostly for on road as is

[@PM-mz8ub]

I totally agree with both of you, I would the Landcruiser? if I could afford anything maybe.

[@nathankoroush7918]

That would suck to spill your drink on all the buttons while driving.

[@elliottmah]

we don't get the land cruiser in canada.

[@hkm_865]

I don't think you can buy a more comfortable car

[@sarimmughal2935]

can you please please please please please please review FJ cruiser

[@aownmustafasubhani7267]

Please make a review on Porsche Cayenne turbo s

[@DUNEBASHING]

when he puts it in sport mode lol😂😂😂

[@jonnyg234]

For me personally, if I'm spending 80k on an SUV it seems like a no brainier to pony up the extra dough to get the Lexus Badge. When you're in the income bracket to actually afford an SUV like this 17k really isn't that much.

[@kevinchoi310]

I love the design and performance of German made cars but after owning 2 hard headed turbo BMW's I will never buy one again. Now I have a lexus in front of my house. It's not as fast or look as good but no more scary worries about abnormal engine noises. Those who owned turbo bmw with over 100,000 miles know what I'm talking about. The rest going to buy one and learn. I promise you

[@steveweerly8290]

John Deere has been using your "turn assist" for decades, They're called swing brakes! hahahaha

[@rollinwitzig7789]

Hater’s will say Tommy doesn’t trust his daddy’s driving at 11:10

[@hassansyed4854]

This and Land Cruisers are highly used in Deserts of UAE. Dubai etc !!

[@MrAzedda]

very nice 4wd in New Zealand we get it in a v8 diesel

[@craigpodsprojames2500]

What’s a tundra? Is it like a Hilux?

[@scottsmith6571]

I'd love a new 450d

[@hassanabraham1558]

I think you guys should more appreciate this car. This cars are offroad kings and worth every penny.

[@greenlobster9171]

They should’ve done their homework before shiting on this vehicle... 👎🏼

[@soospenny7978]

When he squeals the tires the sons face😂

[@Gabez82]

Needs better audio!...I doubt you have one, but get some microphones.

[@anthonyc1883]

Tommy's expressions at 11:26 and 11:45!

[@stevecool8347]

Tommy's face at 11:10... Lol!!!

[@leenestle]

Generally like your reviews, but in watching all your various LX and Land Cruiser videos you both flip flop your positions, so it’s clear you are not actually sharing your true thoughts but rather a dialogue for video content purposes.

[@caronlytv9047]

Looks nice but very expensive

[@scottsmith6571]

It's a really safe kid or people hauler

[@mr_greendevil]

Head 2 head of Range Rover vs Lexus 570??

[@normileguy6788]

Punit Nathani a better comparison would be Infiniti QX80 (not sure if that's right but the luxury brand version of the Nissan Armada/Patrol) and the Lexus LX 570. Those two in my opinion would make for a better matchup comparison

[@jinjin2486]

Anything to be your best bud dad! Sure dad! Thanks for letting me accompany you in your video dad! Gee whiz dad!

[@shahrukhabbas7687]

This is a luxury suv not a crappy Range Rover sport,lx is a majestic predator spaceship.

[@NuclearGrizzly]

Bolt on some factory Toyota 18" wheels and a set of Goodrich K02's and hit the mud.

[@doncancio2]

how come nobody says those things to range rovers or any other luxury SUVs?

[@doncancio2]

hey tommy you drive a jeep right? don't you think it's a little bit old too? older than your dad.

[@jakp8777]

Don Cancio wrangler isn't $97000. When you spend that kind of money, you expect more.

[@doncancio2]

i was referring to tommy always saying it's too old but won't say it about his jeep.

[@wailalsaidi7159]

12:01 anyone realize three red jeeps one after the other

[@shahrukhabbas7687]

Just like GMC Yukon and Cadillac Escalade Land Cruiser and lx 570 is also the same.

[@danielplainview4778]

I’ve never heard anyone say “you could get a Landcruiser for cheaper” however I have heard the opposite many times, why buy a Landcruiser when for minimally more can get a lx which is much nicer... Also what’s this nonsense that it can’t perform off road it’s a beast off road there are a ton of videos out there if it stock doing insane stuff

[@EVDroid]

I call it the "Predator mouth Grille"

[@scottsmith6571]

The seats and ride are way better than land cruiser

[@dustyrusty7956]

I prefer the Range Rover extended wheelbase. More expensive, but the RR is a certified off road beast...and no Escalade.

[@guyproulx1660]

Dusty Rusty RR's are also certified unreliable money pits

[@gogutzy]

gentlemen, in a world where a trabant is more reliable than a mercedes S-class, at that price point, if you are thinking about the LX then you know you're not doing it for the extra luxury, you're doing it to encourage the toyota brand.

[@scottsmith6571]

Count the buttons an they still work 20yrs later

[@earth111]

Be careful with that expensive vehicle

[@thebulgarianguy8461]

Hope you learned by now that this vehicle does not have an air suspension

[@aminmahjoub7150]

hahahhaha look at his sons face @11:10

[@squarecatcreative]

We all know who will buy this Lexus and why. And if they need to spend 6 figures on a station wagon for soccer practice and portaging their Coach handbags, more power to them. It's just too bad that this vehicle's capabilities will be entirely sacrificed for vanity. But it will be interesting to see what it can do in 10 years in the right hands when depreciation has worked its magic...

[@drc911]

They did a good job and I like the father and son chemistry, but the fact that the son liked the cheap and crappy Escalate over this land cruise based platform kind of piss me off. This is not the best option, not even the Land Cruise. For me the best off road-luxury options are the Lexus GX and the Nissan Armada, but this truck is 100 better than the Escalade.

[@SlowWhip]

All I see is hate in this video.

[@eliasrudnitsky3884]

I learned one word.....curvaceous lol

[@scottsmith6571]

Lx570 seats an suspension are diffrent no electric gate on the land either

[@mountainhobo]

Totally agree with Tommy, the styling is a cluster#. Toyota should hire the designer from Audi. Ooops, too late, Kia's got him now.

[@samsonokoro5036]

mountainhobo Audi? r u kidding? Audi interiors that are similar across board in all models, extremely difficult to even differentiate them from regular Vw equivalent models. There's no Audi Suv that can compete with this Lexus Lx570 I.e luxury with offload capabilities. Its only major rival is the Range Rover

[@mountainhobo]

Styling. Outside. Audi = tasteful and understated. Lexus = bizarre Japanese cartoon. Overall value and reliability, I would probably still pick Lexus, but their exterior styling is horrid.

[@manjotsandhu9539]

most of the bollywood actors and political leaders in india have lexus lxs or land cruisers

[@335i101]

Come on, comparing an Escalade to a LX570? Escalade is not worthy of being mentioned along side the LX....

[@aky19832001]

Please do the research, this is nothing that is offered by anything it's class. The departure angle can be adjusted. APPRCH/DEPART ANGLE 25-27/20-23 deg, GROUND CLEARANCE 8.9 in which is on par with Range Rover..It's got better clearance than the Ford, Chevy or anything in it's class. Outside of the Toyota Land Cruiser.

[@shekharmoona544]

Wow, Son did a better review than Dad. Dad, you might have some competition.

[@dubt53]

I believe you need to see what Slee Offroad is doing to these beasts before you write them off as "baby strollers".

[@1cesaraparicio]

range rover! very nice. however, get ready with maintenance money. Lexus a 100% or landcruiser for sure.

[@yadvindergakhal2512]

Would you take this over the QX80?

[@drjd2real]

yadvinder gakhal I wouldn't, but it has a beautiful interior. I like the second row legroom of the qx80 better. The 2018 Lincoln Navigator black label Yacht Club is a new contender, but probably can't do the off-road stuff?

[@horaciolopez7721]

In ten years they will be lifted with bigger tires. Look at the 4Runner, just more expensive.

[@mikewellington2738]

Horacio Lopez a luxury 4Runner would be sweet

[@Gazziza29]

I have a 2016 4Runner Trail and I love it. It's capable in any config you get (SR5, Trail, or Limited), has enough creature comforts, and is small enough to fit on most trails. There's also a plethora of aftermarket parts and you know it's gonna last a good 250K miles.

[@KickoStocks]

Lexus GX460 you're welcome

[@KickoStocks]

Its just got that sad 4.0L V6, otherwise it would be the perfect vehicle

[@denisleblanc4506]

Don't think so. They've had a smaller V-8's for years as far as I know (4.6 L whence GX460).

[@RagtopRoads]

I think he meant V8 snarl not narl.

[@zimcoder]

The young man just loves the Range Rover, he shouldn't be reviewing a Lexus, he has no understanding of what a Lexus is all about.
