Guess on hybrid availability?

[AUAv8r]

Hi
I know its probably a guess, but does anyone know any details or heard anything about when to expect it? I'm a former GX460 owner and am between the LC or GX. I'd prefer the GX from an owership/dealership standpoint, but I am really drawn to the LC hybrid as we drive a lot and wouldn't mind the additional efficiency. I'm planning to buy in the next few months, but would hold off if I knew the GX hybrid was inbound at some point. All I can find out online is that the hybrid is more than likely the same setup used in the LC which makes sense.

Thanks for any guesses/info!

But no one actually knows anything, maybe buy a GX now and trade it in on the hybrid if that becomes a compelling option.

You very well might be waiting forever.

17 GALLON Tank on the hybrid vs 21 on the gas. Ends up not being much difference in distance you can travel.

Has anyone received a new GX with the new roof rack?

I wouldn’t want the hybrid. I initially purchased the 250 being a Land Cruiser guy and dumped it in 2 months. Terrible power delivery and mediocre mileage

Thats what I read on the hybrid. Real world driving MPG was pretty low compared to what was being published.

After spending two days off-roading in mine, I have come to really like the power train. Nothing strained it and on the way home I got 19 MPG with lift and 34's. Half highway and half city. I'm pretty happy with that.

With the hybrid LC, I had the same wheels/tires that I moved over the GX. Once you get above 70mph, the mileage drops on the LC and it struggles to stay in 8th. It pulls 7-10lb of boost cruising to maintain 80mph

I heard next year. No details as to when exactly. Gas milage on the GX550 sucks, literally!

18 vs 22, with a 4 gallon smaller tank. Woohoo
