It may be time for some Jimmy Buffet here today. Raining, which isn’t bad for my lawn, but it’s July & we haven’t had summer here yet. Maybe with a little music I can imagine summer.
So for those of us who don’t watch videos, what was the conclusion of the video? No you can’t remove the top off the GX. Otherwise I’d think with assuming similar off road capabilities, that the GX would be much nicer to live with on a day to day basis if you could only have 1. If I could...
It’s a pretty small spread on the list if I read it right. From a low of 82 to the Lexus at 89. Even in light of the recent recall for other models sharing the GX engine, I’m not surprised Lexus comes out on top. It appears they didn’t rank the possibility of engine failure highly. Though I...
I thought they could only deny warranty if it can be proven the failure was caused by modifications. So for wheels/tires say they couldn’t deny an engine or computer claim. But potentially could if something broke on the suspension say.
Not sure what your dealer is like to deal with. But these...
Yes. I’m surprised at some of the small’ things omitted on a vehicle in this price class. I get the nerd to differentiate trims but I’d have thought a car like this would just come with everything. Particularly stuff that comes on cars costing half as much.
Actually now that I think about it...
Hmm.. that’s a good point. The GX has typically been a pretty niche vehicle, at least here. One of those you forgot Lexus sold until you start seeing them everywhere once you see one. Currently here I’d heard the GX allocations are sponge for in 24 & 25. But at a better price point yet with...
TL;DR Yes.
All 3, along with the Ford Ranger (the only thing comparable Ford offers) are really at the top of my list. I’d be shopping 4R Limited/Platinum. So I suspect a much smaller price gap between that & say the LC premium. & at that price a GX is easily possible, even if I’d like to...
Welcome! 8 months to a year actually doesn’t sound bad. I’m glad the new GX is such a hit though. The old one you really had to look for to see any on the streets. This new one really seems to just click for a lot of people I think.
I was told at our auto show they were sold out for 24 &...

As hilariously April 1 as this is, it’s kinda based somewhat in reality given what competitors are trying. I suspect scent is just about the final...
Thank you for confirming what I probably already knew. If my expectation is an improved highway cruiser over my bronco sport, then moving up to the big bronco isn’t it. Now I’d have one as a second car , that might be a nice choice.
How did you find the Bronco? I sat in one at the auto show (too bad the GX was a locked pre production model) & found it actually quite nice. Though I think it’d be a great upgrade (and the one many seem to take) from my Bronco Sport, I just wonder if everything about the design might be a...
This is my hope as well shopping these 2 (along with the Tacoma & Ranger, and we’ll see what the new 4 runner is). A full size F150 was my favorite vehicle ever & I haven’t adjusted to a small vehicle real well, but it’s necessary for the city (though everybody just drives F150’s around here...
Interesting comparison. Depending on how you configure each they may not be wildly different in price, but they seem like 2 vehicles aimed at 2 different customers. I admit I sure liked the TX sitting in it at the car show (sadly the GX was locked). For somebody who doesn’t really watch...
Thanks for the update. Yeah I thought it looked better in person even. I’m tempted to email them just to see what getting on their allocation list (I’d hope for an OT+) involves for future years. I’m presuming they’ve stopped taking orders for this year? I’d wanted to see what they do with...
Thanks for the review. Here I thought all hybrid systems were ‘assist’ & didn’t run on pure electric. I wouldn’t have thought they operate as you’re describing. I can see how you’d look forward to just a pure gas power train.
They had one, but locked at the auto show here this weekend. Of course that prompted a question from me as to when these will actually hit dealers. I was informed by 1 of 2 Lexus dealers here (Lexus of Royal Oak, I’m the other end of the city so will confirm same with Lexus of Calgary) that...
