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 &...

I’m not even sure why. Perhaps it’s a thing in the Chinese luxury car market where the Lincoln is made? Because it’s not exactly a mainstream option.

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.

If/when I decide on the GX it’ll be a 2022 Ford Bronco Sport. Edit: this thread perhaps needs pics too.

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...

May I ask what you found to be the disadvantages of a hybrid drivetrain? I keep looking at hybrid & thinking it’s the best of all worlds. Especially since I have zero plans to go full electric.

Lack of Cargo Space I wonder if there’s supposed to be some sort of tray to take up that space? That’s what it looks like in the Land Cruiser. Perhaps, or probably, it’s an extra cost accessory.

https://www.toyota.com/landcruiser/features/ I’m banking on it being very similar to the Land Cruiser if not the same. I suppose though you never know if Lexus decides to tune it vastly differently.

Congrats! The GS should make a great retirement vehicle for sure. My consideration with one as well. I”m a few years out (targeting end of decade), but need to get something bought & paid for by then.

Nice cars! Sounds like Lexus has treated you well through the years for sure.

Interesting price points I find. You can upgrade the off road features with the overtrail, or the vehicle overall features with the premium. To get both together moves you up to pricing of the Luxury, which I assume must be similar. Then of course you can go one up from there. I’ll have to...

I think you’re right, part of the attraction is certainly fair cost to operate (it’s not a Corolla) and great reliability. So beyond my choice of what car I need in what size, with the GX seemingly large enough for the highway but small enough to fit into your destination once you get there...

It’s one of those cars I honestly forgot existed or that they even still made. Once the GX hit my radar though I started seeing more of them around of all eras. I’d think premium pricing would prevent the new GX from becoming common, but that doesn’t ever seem to deter many here.

https://www.thedrive.com/news/the-lexus-gx-overtrail-by-jaos-is-the-quintessential-jdm-4x4 I’d be shocked if all these bits weren’t available at your local Lexus dealer for Lexus prices. Count me in as a fan, I like the look personally!

Wow that’s some impressive GX experience! I can’t offer much comparing the GX vs. LX. My interest in the GX comes from needing something not too large not too small as it seems I do too much urban driving yet need something bigger to get out on the highway too. The unofficial car of our city...

Not super knowledgeable, last time I did this was with Ford & a great dealership. I’d expect Lexus to far exceed what my experience has been, but it still probably varies. A lot. 1. They should either be refundable if you choose ultimately to not purchase the car, or put towards the...

Glad not all have 3rd row, but I too am waiting to see on the hybrid. I”m presuming it’ll be shortly as production ramps up, maybe for 25? Surely if there’s one manufacturer to trust electrified assistance to ICE it’s Toyota.

That makes sense. Thanks for the explanation!

So what did you build? Overland + here. Ticked every box (was surprised there were boxes to tick), including the one for moonroof delete. Never been a fan & suspect this exists for those using RTTs. But. I doubt you’d actually get one built without it. So $80K US.
