Yea I def prefer the 570 over this for sure but yes the 600 will fare much better I’m sure in crash tests, if the Tundra is anything to go by, that is the safest new truck now so I’m sure this LX600 will follow suite and it comes with newer safety tech. I just don’t enjoy the way it drives and the markups are crazy. Use the leasehackr forum to see which luxury cars are being sold at a good deal right now.

My family took delivery of our LX600 a few months ago and we’re enjoying it. We paid over msrp; however, these things are now selling for crazy amounts of money on the used market (some well over 200k). We still have our LX570 which has given us zero issues so we decided to keep it in the family. We’re looking forward to many years with our LX600.

Fantastic video essay. Though i strongly disagree about getting something else in the same price range. You buy these for off road/ hazardous conditions/reliability. If you dont regularly drive in sand and snow, then i aee your ooints that a Tahoe can replace it.

Thanks Kevin for the review. So what can i say about the car? I think that the car is very good for a Lexus but if it comes to compare it with other big SUV´s in this price range, then the Lexus doesn´t look so good. But i´m sure that the car is perfect for Lexus heads.

Hey my friend so with this particular vehicle what I noticed is the gearbox takes a moment to step down in gear once the throttle is pressed but once it has shifted down engine does a suprisingly good job of taking off with almost no lag. I noticed the Tundra had the same issue, would take some time to shift but they did a good job managing the turbos. I hope this helps!

This is one of your best videos. Thanks for putting this together. If the LX was priced at $80k fully loaded it would be a great deal. I'd get the new Lexus RX 500 Fsport Performance over the LX, better bang for the buck. Btw i'm seeing the Lexus NX 350H Luxury everywhere in my area.

So the first and easiest step it to just start making content on your own car. Review your car and just put it out there. I sold all my camera equipment and I do everything exclusively on my IPhone 13 pro max and I edit on an iPad now with an M1 chip using Lumafusion. Really simplified the process. Once you’ve experimented with your car and you’re now comfortable speaking to the camera and you have your basic editing now to where you get rid of redundant words like Um, you can then start reaching out to some local dealerships. Probably easier to start with used car dealerships even though people aren’t as interested in used cars nowadays, do what you have to do to get content and experience. Then maybe hit up some new car dealers and finally reach out to press media fleets for weekly press cars. Expect to be ignored and and expect to hear lies and lots of No’s but keep at it and never sound needy

Yea you can’t just deal with a sales person like that. You have to tell them you have a channel and are willing to advertise for them for free. Regardless of that most dealers will still tell you no. Granted if I owned a dealership and some kid walks in saying they want to drive my car for KZread I would tell them to piss off as well so I’m not mad at these dealers. Some people have actually bought cars from the dealerships I’ve done reviews at and those dealers still ghost me despite sending them business. If you go through life expecting perfection from highly imperfect people you will be left disappointed very quickly. Nowadays I just take matters into my own hand and just buy/rent vehicles to review. I realize not everyone can do that but that’s just what it’s come to.

I've always loved the LX line, but was really disappointed with how cramped this generation feels from the inside. It's clearly not meant to be used as a vehicle that hauls people in it more than it would be used a a single person driving it alone. The rear seat leg room is not pleasant at all, regardless of how it's adjusted. I just don't understand why Toyota/Lexus limited the interior so much considering how large it is from the exterior. Even the new Sequoia has more usable interior passenger space. WTH Lexus!
