When my GX hit right at 300k miles it developed a few issues. I ended up purchasing this exact car a 2023 LX600 FSport with I think every option. I’m 2.5k miles in and love the vehicle. I was a bit worried coming from the V8, but I’m enjoying the turbo 6. I cross shopped up to 150k, quality and reliability brought me back to this. Plus it drives like a dream.

You nailed it what you said about this vehicle. I'm a 200 series Land Cruiser owner and wish the 300 series Land Cruiser was sold here. I really don't want to purchase the new LX600 for the following reasons. It was supposed to be thw option for a Land Cruiser replacement but it has 22 inch wheels and a low hanging front grill. I agree it looks alright but that is not what I want in this type of purchase. I would much rather have better approach, departure and breakover angles. I really like the heavy duty nature of the cooling system and everything else that is built so well. That's what I really want. My hope is that they will offer a GR sport like version of the LX600 and make it more like the Land Cruiser 300. Another thing I don't care for is the tune that recommends high test fuel. This vehicle uses a lot of fuel and it would be nicer to be able to run 87 octane.

The factor that drove up prices of old Land Cruisers was their indestructibility. They clearly used quality materials, but you really need to see how the turbo engines are holding up after a decade, and how many repairs become out of reach because of the lack of space under the hood. Until that all falls into place, most are going to want the tried and true V-8 version.

I am shocked that people think if the new turbo charged/hybrid engines will be reliable. Toyota has been making turbo charge engines since the 1980s. They also made the first mass hybrid car which is the Prius from 1997. They have tested these engines for 20 years. They know what they are doing. What is even more absurd is that people think Toyota is just simply stupid? Do you think the largest car producer in the world will ditch the only thing they are known for which is reliability? There are people 100x smarter than us sitting at Toyota making these decisions. Do not teach the most reliable company in the world to make reliable cars..

@@NanJa-hi7dl They've already done that, with any 2AZ-FE 2.4L engine after 2007, with its loose piston rings. Every one will need to be removed and have a piston replacement. Waiting too long will turn it into scrap. They have no choice - the earlier one was fuel consumption mandated by the gov't. Now, they're also being taxed heavily on energy input in manufacturing, requiring very small engines. Reliability is now a luxury few can afford, and mass market cars can't carry that much tax or nobody will buy them. Why do you think new cars have doubled in price recently?

I felt as if I was listening to a review of the 2023 GX460. The conservative styled cockpit, rear seat legroom, third row room, quality materials, truck like design, handling, and indestructible. It seems that the GX became what the old Landcruiser/LX was at a reasonable price point. For 9/10’s of the LX you can have a GX for 30-40% less money. Less is more because it is easier to fit in a garage and parking space. As a bonus, the 18” tires cost half of what the 22’s do. Tires and oil changes will be the maintenance. I think the LX grew 1/10 bigger, but the price tag and unnecessary complexity increased at a much larger fraction.

Fun fact the turbos can be done without pulling the motor which they call for both can be replaced in a couple of hours as I’ve done them on one 22 tundra as a Toyota tech. Not many people know the truck but if you know it you know it. And since Toyotas expects you to pull the motor the warranty time pays well being able to sneak them out. Overtime they’ll drop the warranty time but for now it’s good money

You make so many valid points. I think the admiration of what Toyota designs is rarely appreciated. There are "fanboys" of all manufacturers, but owning a 10, 20, or even 30 year old Toyotas, I've found myself showing deep appreciation for their design going on short or long trips. This appreciation is hard to explain, but it comes through in your passion, which makes criticism even more valid. I've never hated any Toyota/Lexus I've owned, but clearly, they do quirky things, but for any true car enthusiast, if you put all biases aside, it would be impossible not to love the design & engineering put into Toyotas. Toyota has always had challenges when it comes to interior & exterior design, but what is beneath the bodies of Toyota is sheer magnificence (for the most part).

I think they avoid electric fan because of electrical load. A large electric fan can easily pull 40-50 amps. That means the alternator has to be larger, the alternator belt wider, other pulleys need to be wider, etc. Curious how big the alternator is already on this model. Perhaps someone can look up and comment. Sometimes driving a fan from the engine directly just simplifies things. The control side of the fluid coupling takes very little current, so not a significant electrical load.

I bought a new GX 460. No complaints. I know it’ll last forever. Turbo? V6? No thanks...

For the keen observer this f sport has no ahc yet it says H4 on the bottom screen lol. At 27:50.

[@ravin747]

Very good review AMD I still love my 2012 GX 460 mint condition

[@nnamdiopara4883]

Spot on. The price is the issue. Its asking Mercedes price.

I truly like the Lexus lx600 but I wish it was a little bigger if they are going to make a 3 row out of it. I guess the TX is better in that regards.

We need the 300 Land Cruiser here in the USA!!!!

[@ve2166]

So, since you mentioned the "Failing" QX80, I'm curious to get our take on the last V8, 2024 QX80.

[@Pew7070]

Very well done review! That interior puts me off.

[@dany7641]

Can’t wait to watch your new GX550 review!

[@mikeparsegian3571]

Great review as always.... I would take this truck all around the world with no problems. This is the only truck that would be up for the task unlike those other expensive luxury wannabe suv's....Toyota and Lexus forever!!! 🤙

Of all the full-size truck-type vehicles on sale in the US today, the last really earnest one is the Nissan Armada. It is priced basically where it should be for what you get without any nonsense. But even that one doesn't have the dedicated off-road features found in other markets.

[@youtubecarspottersguide1]

armada is sold as Nissan patrol in other markets, LC300 also it is more utilitarian diesel , 2 row cloth seats . 18" steel rims a off-road wagon not. over priced 3row luxury car like the LX600

[@Sleepydwagonman]

I'll never have one of these (way too big for me, don't like that style of car) but it's a fascinating look into the car. Cheers ! Another button for your collection of things to look for : a pause button for the sound system. I didn't have one of these in my last Lexus (ES300h), so when I was pulling up to a security access gate I would need to dive through multiple menus to stop the sound system making noise. Lexus CT - there's a Button. Pull up to gate, press button, talk to guard people, get in to site, turn sounds back on. Easy ! Something you never realise is useful until you need it. PS Also missing my wireless phone charger. PS2 That third row seat is awful !

I was driving with my grandpa on the passenger seat and he got confused the volume knob with the drive mode knob. lol the layout is somewhat confusing if you don’t drive it daily. Some knobs are in odd places.
