Is the LX worth the extra $25k-$40k over the GX?

[Sean950054]

Looking at both trucks I could not justify the extra money for the LX over the new GX? Interior size is pretty much identical, technology wise the GX is better, I think looks wise it’s better. I know it’s probably targeting two different types of buyers. For me we have kids, coming out of a 2021 200 series Land Cruiser. I was hoping the LX would justify that extra money but I couldn’t find it.

I couldn’t either. But my wife preferred the LX, so we have one in the driveway. No logic needed, happy wife, happy life. I’m waiting on my GX.

I can compare the 570 vs the 460 premium. Certainly a step above but not justified the 40k extra...I got the lx with 9k miles used for 75k in 2021 before the crazy prices. Way better than the gx.

I have both, I don't understand why the view button is on different sides of the steering wheel

you can get front massage seats and pano roof in the GX and not the LX

gx looks better, imo

Plus the LX doesn't have that lousy motor in it...or does it? I drove an LX 570 yesterday. It still had the V8 engine.

LX600 has the same engine as the GX550 and the Tundra, its all ICE to me - I've owned the GX and LX for last few decades

Would you purchase a new GX 550 at this time or wait for Lexus to figure this thing out?

No I would not, I don’t have parking space for two gx550, one gx550 is enough for me at this time, I will reconsider later

Ended up ordering the LX600 Luxury and canceled my Luxury+ GX. Wife really liked the ride and fit and finish much more on the LX vs the GX.
