i think land cruiser prado,4 runner,fj cruiser and this lexus are the same.this truck have nothing to do with real land cruiser 76,78,79 or 105 series.
Ive always been a fan of the previous gen LX and GX 470s. While the new GX seems like an upgrade in almost every aspect, I can't help but feel that interior materials have gone from soft, high quality, muted leathers/plastics and woods to slightly more shiny, somewhat cheaper feeling materials. Can someone chime in on this?
don't they sell land rover disco's or range rovers in the us? im quite sure a disco and this cost roughly the same, and the disco is an off-road car by nature though it doesn't have a 3rd row
4.6L V8 for a 2 ton car? Get a diesel. You can tow as much without dropping those mpg figures. Don't tell me it's not quicker. You don't go 200mph in a truck.
i personally love the styling. its unique. and i'm kinda confused on acceleration numbers? car and driver got 6.9 to 60 and you guys are getting 7.9...thats a huge difference.
i had the Lexus and its the most reliable suv ever. the range rover is not as reliable, its a fact. my friend had a range which was a nice suv but he had problems with it. the lexus is much more reliable trust me.
It's a truck engine so it's designed for low end torque. It doesn't make sense to put an engine that doesn't produce peak power until way up in the rev range in something that is more made for off roading and towing than for straight line sprints.
I dont know why people rant about owners never going off road. Ya, because the first thing I want to do is take a $65,000+ luxury SUV off-roading and risk damaging the thing and spending thousands to fix it =/. The options are available for the times when off-raod capabilities are needed (even if they are rare), like snow, ice, and muddy conditions. Most of the features are not needed, and are used to jack up the price and make the car look appealing and high tech........
It really annoys me on how close Lexus and Toyotas look, I mean I know they are the same company essentially but If I am going to pay a premium for this over a Toyota 4Runner, which it is very closely based upon, I want it to look different from one.
My thoughts exactly. I wonder if and when you experience unintended acceleration, you can counter that with the 4WD Crawl feature to slow the vehicle back down? :)
who would've thunk that somebody would actually make an SUV that was designed to go off road... All you see today are hybrid/crossover grocery getters.
Ya know it's just too bad, that a lot of SUV buyers (luxury in particular) never take their vehicles off road. I see the owner of a GX only going back and forth to the freakin' mall. Never sees a dirt road... (shaking my head).
@adogg619 Don't worry buddy. When these dumbasses are done using these capable cars for that stuff, when they're done babying it for 150,000 miles, it's our turn to go buy them for pennies on the dollar, and beat the living crap out of them.
Shit, if these things were alive they'd be counting minutes to get sold off to someone who appreciates their power.
@eMilkIsland Actually, the LX is a Land Cruiser... This is based off of the 4Runner. But Lexus, Infinity, and Acura may be a suit to their parent companies, but the money is well worth it.
I don't understand how people say the ES is a pricier Camry, but say the Tahoe and Escalade are worlds apart... Makes no sense. But, thats my opinion.
if we are talking about a luxury baby Land Cruiser, then the GX is the answer. if you only need the Land Cruiser's essential, then take it as it is

This is not rebadged Land Cruiser
This is rebadged Prado (not for sale in U.S)
Prado is the baby land cruiser.
And so is the GX is the baby of the LX
It doesn't have to do anything with the RX like Edmunds said
This part of the Land Cruiser family which is the best heavy duty cars in the market.
However, the Land Cruiser family is more popular in the Middle East than the U.S
That's why some of you might consider this not a good car to him. Because they didn't built it for you
