What I felt is it’s going after the Defender customers instead of the GX existing customers. I am pretty sure they will replace some interior panels (with different colors) in future and that will make GX more luxurious and outstanding but for now it’s good to take a risk. It may take 3-5 years for the next update but they will fix it whatever feedback they get. I never thought last GX 460 update will be this great.

I agree. I think the lack of leather on the dash makes the car look overly plasticy. All luxury high end cars have contrast stitched leather in a lot of these areas and the lack of it makes it look cheap. I think they should have kept their toyota engine engineers and hired a new team for interior design because the lack of interior options is the only reason I won't buy one of these at the msrp. I might buy one cpo used in 2025 or 2026 but certainly not new because the price point at new has better luxury options to choose from

You should compare it to the previous GX460. That one does not roll around anywhere near as much as all versions have the KD-SS levelling/sway bar system, while the new one only has it on the Overtrail model. Also the previous gen GX460 is much more luxurious inside - just check out the headliner and sunroof cover. No mention of the hood vibrating at speed?

Why not give it the same third row seats as the TX 2. When third row seats are up, there is not enough cargo room.... look at TX as an example. It has 20 cubic feet 3. Hate the bump in the center seat 4. Toyota Sequoia has more luxury material than GX. I would feel like I'm being cheated 5. KDSS should be on all trims

I'm actually looking at the GX as the right mix of luxury and off-road capability. I intend on getting it into some dirt, and this interior looks easier to clean than those with piano black everywhere and touches that are more suited for boulevard cruisers. The LX is more luxury and less capability, and the TX is more a people mover than I need at this point as an empty nester. The GX Overtrail+ is just right.

Lexus, like any good car company, researches the problem, then comes up with the solution then recalls to fix the issue. They are not manufacturing new luxury vehicles that will have the same problem the 22' and 23' Toyota Tundra and a few Lexus LX600's had. So it isn't "crazy" they didn't mention the "exploding engine" when absolutely zero GX's have had a problem.

If I needed a car with 3 rows that was going to get a lot of use I’d just buy a minivan. This third row seems pretty impractical to me and although this SUV looks great, my guess is that the vast majority of owners never take their Lexus off road. I’m amazed what people with pay and sacrifice to maintain an image. I know a lot of people like having a vehicle with capabilities that they never use but like to know that should they need them they’d be there. I’m the opposite, it feels like a wast so have a vehicle that has a lot for parts and features that you never use. Just seems wasteful to me. But I’m sure this is the perfect vehicle for a lot of people, just probably not for the majority of people who buy it.

No mention of ALOT of other negative reviews and problems on this new overpriced 4Runner…I meant GX. Plastic fantastic is a name this GX has gotten from many reviewers. It’s not a Lexus, it’s a Toyota priced as a Lexus. Vibrating hood, windshield angle prone to chips and cracks, lack luster interior losing the luxury feel, no wood trims but instead wood lookalike plastics lol. Road noise, body roll, vibrations and the biggest of them all, the potential catastrophic time bomb of an engine it shares with the Tundras waiting to go off 💥, and the list goes on. The only thing this GX has over the older GX is the more modern exterior looks, that’s it! Smart people will stay away from this overhyped overpriced vehicle. Only the one’s with more 💰 than 🧠 will buy this just to say I have a new GX.😂

The narrow upright mirrors are for off-roading. You don’t want a lot sticking out, hitting trees, rocks… etc. the gap between the mirror and A pillar is so you have visibility when off-roading. These Consumer Report reviews are pretty much useless.

Consumer Reports targets your average consumer for typical everyday use with their scoring methodology. You will notice the Wrangler is one of their lowest scoring vehicles, because they prioritize ride, handling, noise, etc instead of off-road capabilities. If you are purchasing a vehicle for off-road use you should check out TFL Off-road or some other source for reviews.

Dude, poor review! As a guy who’s worked in automotive engineering I’m surprised that you never talked about the powertrain.

The V8 is awesome and the vehicle drives really good for a truck. I wouldn’t buy the new 2024 model due to the new V6 turbo charged engine, it’s too new and will take Toyota a few years to get the bugs out and Kiazan it. This is a major redesign here so it’s going to have its issues.
