I own the Overtrail Plus - the driver monitor got turned off in .083 seconds. Most annoying thing. Besides that it’s a beast - just hope the reliability is as good as previous GXs
Does the driver monitor reactivate when the car is started, or does it stay off? Do lane centering and adaptive cruise control work with it is turned off?
@@TXJ232it does not reactivate . Once the alert is turned off in settings it stays off . And it doesn’t affect any of the driving assist and safety assist technology . I was a technology specialist for Lexus for 2 years and that was the most popular request for me to do once the 23 models came out was to turn off the driver monitor recording alert without taking away traffic jam assist or anything , they make it really easy to do as if they knew that was going to be popular . I Bought a Lexus LC 500 on my last week there stills a huge Lexus fan & enthusiast.
Just sat in the base Landcruiser, the interior isn't as bad as reviewers make out to be, yes it's not as nice as the Lexus but it's really not that bad. Plus its a car with no sunroof, cloth seats and equipped with heated seats and heated steering wheel, rear vents and off road tech! Only a few people will ever appreciate that!!!
@@superblump87 dont gotta worry about leather care. And they dont get overly hot/cold. I dont hate leather, these are just reasons I hear that make sense.
@@TheJoker-qn6vw worldwide inflation and the WEF against car ownership. Canada they sell the civic starting 34 to 47g. Nothing will be cheap again. the socialist are doing this
@@TheJoker-qn6vw yes, mb its for EV market not the ICE car, because most chinnese brand cant pass the euro 6 regulation thats why they choose EV to join in
Its almost as if Toyota told them to say that! Or at minimum they asked if this was the recalled 3.5 and the Toyota rep just said "No, this is a 3.4L".
The GX550 is the best looking SUV out today but I wished they offered it in blue for Overtrail and had more interior color options like red or white like the previous gen. I'm already seeing the GX550s on the road and it's making me jealous. This woul command the MSRP they ask unlike the Land Cruiser (imagine paying 70k+ for a 4 cylinder?)
I saw a modestly lifted Overtrail in my neighborhood this afternoon. Looks like the 2.5" front/0.75" back preload collar lift from Westcott Designs. It looks AMAZING with that raised and leveled look, and it was still running those stock Toyo AT 33" tires.
I think the LC looks better and has less front overhang. Also like the LC's disconnecting sway bar vs eKDSS, and real physical HVAC buttons vs on screen lame "buttons". BUT the LC doesn't have the V6 and the associated towing capacity (boo). Toyota - PUT THE V6 IN THE LC and I'll buy one, charge me the same as the Lexus if you must (and while you are at it, please redesign the fugly plastic "diaper" on the tow hitch for both these vehicles, it's just gawd-awful and it's not good for towing, which is the point of a tow hitch). Nice review guys 👍.
@@reyjazz-u8p Japan factories are much more established and with engineers/workers with decades of experience. Less likely hood of defects on new products? American facilities are great too but Toyota made their reputation off the Japanese plants
This and the Tundra both have the 3.4 V6, although there may be tuning/turbo differences. This is a really compelling vehicle, but I'd wait a bit to make sure the engine drama doesn't spill over into the GX.
Um Tundra is a 3.4L v6 labeled as a 3.5L V6 same engine as the GX It probably didn't make it on the recall list was due to the fact that this wasn't released yet Also some folks have had multiple engine failures which leads me to believe that they're really not telling the truth that it's a manufacturing issue instead of a design issue.
While it has the same engine designation, the GX's engine is 'bespoke' in the sense it has smaller turbos than the Tundra, Sequoia or LX (hence less hp, same torque than those engines). It wouldn't be too out of the question that some other internals were changed as well
Supposedly they only washed the blocks twice. The only change I've heard of so far is they started washing them 5 times. Damn EPA requiring water for oil and those small oil galleys make it tough for manufacturers
The point is correct the 3.5 has always been a 3.4. This isn't the reason why GX wasn't part of the recall. GX is built in Japan. Tundra is built in TX. As far as i know Toyota hasn't disclosed why certain 3.4s are not part of recall, like the GX and i-force max Tundra. Listen to Car Care Nut for the best explanation on the internet.
@@JWL427 Only issue with this is that Lexus was having similar failures in much smaller scale for an obvious sales volume difference and flew under the radar. Also later model year vehicles including 24MY are also exhibiting the same failure which are not part of the recall. Is the LX not built in Japan? They're on the list. As said earlier, this is limited to 22/23 MY hence the GX is excluded from the list. I'm pretty certain that there were folks reporting failure in the hybrid setup in the forums last i checked. Going to track down the vid that explains the increased failure on the V35A engine with Toyota/Lexus There is something odd going on with the recall itself and reports of dealers not accepting current gen tundras as tradeins is very very concerning
I just don't think I can give up the V8 in my previous gen Land Crusier. If they came out with the 300 series that wasn't a $120000 LX in the US then maybe we could talk.
With the quality issues Toyota been having lately, it wouldn't surprise me if they announce these engine will also be recalled due the "manufacturing debris". Good looking vehicle tho!
I think its the best option of car for its purpose, reliable, luxurious, capable.. This is a car to buy and hold for years or heck even decades! Gl for thos who can afford it haha😊
It’s the same engine as the 24’ Tundra. Not sure why they’re still calling it 3.5 when it’s technically at 3.4. Only reason it wasn’t included in the recall is because it’s a 24’. Only 22’-24’ are included
When I watch Yuri launch it in the beginning of the video, I thought to myself "damn that thing is fast" then I realized that the video speed was set to 1.25x lol
First time seeing your channel, subbed. You said to mention if my car got stolen. Yes! 5 days ago, my TRX stolen out of my driveway in So California, GPS showed it on ship 12 hours later. So I'm looking at this GX 550 0T plus to replace it. Not trying to have another TRX get taken 😢
If you get anything other than the base land cruiser, you're better off with the base gx550. For 55k for the base land cruiser, that's already a hard sell. The base GX 550 is only 65k and it definitely a value leader.
I have test driven both the Land Cruiser and GX 550. I have had my 2010 4Runner for almost 14 years. Absolute work horse. So I was leaning Toyota. Both very similar builds and look damn near identical to the naked eye from side vantage. Grill on GX much cleaner look than the iron waffle grill of the Land Cruiser. But to be honest, driving the GX didn't feel like it was worth 15k over the fully loaded Land Cruiser edition for 70k. This video looks like great punch but when I hit it I experienced a serious lag on the GX. I was really disappointed considering its supposed to be so much faster 0-60. Land Cruiser felt quick because of Hybrid combo. Overall, I'm still kind of torn but curious to see how they work out the kinks because I've read bad reviews on performance for GX already. Seems silly to jump the gun till they work it out and possibly release better fuel consumption package down the road. The LC is hands down a better ride for off road capabilities but still has crisp look.
One review I read(Josh's Japanese cars or something like that) said it was very rollie pollie when driving - not very stable in cornering too. Doesn't sound like great handling on the streets to me.
I absolutely love lexus suv's, owned an RX350 2022, which got stolen last november outside of a restaurant in scarborough (greater toronto), the only reason why I'm staying away from buying another one is absolutely the reason you stated, its going to end up on a ship (i.e. stolen) in no time. :(
Cloth seats, manual seats, no power back door are all benefits for me. Some people will pay too much to have fewer unnecessary features. Welcome to the car market in 2024.
The 3.4 liter was in the LS too, was it not? Guess what had problems before the new Tundra 🙃 That's right, the LS had main bearing problems first. Suspiciously similar to the Tundra engines.
It’s the same engine and they’re all 3.4, just a mix up here. Only GX difference is smaller turbos for more low end torque and less peaky power overall. Everyone mixes up the 3.4 vs 3.5, but it’s only a 3.4x and same long block in all variations.
I would love to own this one -- alas -- I will have to keep my 4Runner which I do love and is more importantly paid off. "78% increase in violent carjacks since 2021". WTH is happening up there boyz?
I am 42 years old responsible husband and father. I just replaced compact SUV with BMW i3 because I need a city car... but I want this RIGHT NOW! 3:47 I am sorry guys but you are wrong. this is designed accordingly to design best practices. clockwise rotary movement is list UP.
I dare someone to buy this and park it anywhere in the GTA. I can easily afford the car, I can’t afford the insurance or the medication for the constant anxiety of my wife and kids getting carjacked.
Im still skeptical buying after got problem with my Tacoma being recalled….just waiting for a couple of months before deciding buying one!….as the price shoots up I don’t know yet considering one….
I’m surprised with Yuri’s bad back that he didn’t test out the massage seats. I know they’re buried in the screen but I wanted to know how good they are since the seats are missing up and down lumbar.
That last comment from Jacob is the truth. 10yrs from now, I might be able to afford this when its used. You guys are very down to earth and I appreciate that a bunch.
Forgiven Jakub here, like the points present here and agreed with them all. I would also get this version if I were to buy one. (Forgiven, bc I did find it BS how the Corolla Cross was better than an E**** Cross apart from the name lol)
My wife's Rubi 4xe is on that hot list...but we park in a Canada Customs yard for 5 days straight each week lol So silly. We are certainly being hosed in Ontario :(
I had to stop half way through and come to the comments. Before the video loaded I said they will compare this to the land cruiser, 1 will pick that 1 will pick this. The gx550 is better in nearly every aspect minus price and fuel economy
