I had a 2004 GX for seven years, and the car was literally stress-free during the whole ownership. The reliability made me think the car can even survive in an apocalypse.. Once my current lease is up I would consider this one again!

Big Lexus fan here! Thanks for the video. Keep up the good work you and Lori!

Great review! I bought a 2020 Atomic Silver w/Premium package in early Jan. I hear what others say about it being outdated and had similar sentiment, until I drove one. It's extremely comfortable and feels rock solid. Plus, it has the million mile Tundra motor. It's truly a 500K mile (or more) SUV and absolutely can go off-road if you so desire. I personally love the interior (especially the steering wheel as it feels great and very solid in your hands), as its high quality and isn't overdone with most functions being easy to use. Lastly, you get all of the safety features that (I believe) were only available on luxury versions until 2020. We had to rent an SUV for my wife and wound up with a very large 2018 Infinity (can't recall which model). I couldn't believe how cheap the interior felt compared to the GX. I'll admit that the interior looked more contemporary,, but sometimes less is more.

I put a deposit at Longo Lexus here in Southern California and hopefully will get one in about a month. This truck is growing on me.

On top of that, it has the Lexus legendary quality as well; even the air suspension is extremely reliable and durable, and outlasting regular suspensions on other cars. We have an 2017 RX350 as well; its equally an excellent vehicle.

I think Toyota reliability came from the fact that they refuse to adopt new technology.

I really like this SUV.

Thanks Joe for another great review. I have to agree that the center console and drivers console is really outdated. They should transition into an LCD panel display. At least it still has a manual shifter and not one of those switches like in an Acura MDX. By the way is this tank a manual transmission? I thought it was when I saw you move the shifter around. That 3rd row is super cramped back there but more functional if you’re a soccer mom and have 3 or more kids or their friends to transport around on Saturday mornings driving to the game. Passenger Adults are more suited to be seated in the middle row but you can only bring along 2 more comfortably.. As for the maroon Odyssey that cut you off twice, you missed 2 opportunities to test out the sound of that horn. Even that Odyssey has more space in the rear seats and cargo area. I also think the switches near the shifter should be located on the drivers side to avoid having your passenger accidentally throw one of them off while going along for the ride. If I were to take a Lexus out off-roading, I would invest in a used model more than 5 years or older since it’ll get beaten up a lot. I have a friend who loves his 2005 model and he uses that thing to literally climb rocks. 😳

Mine is 2016, looks almost identical except the front grill. In my view, it’s the best all around vehicle money can buy. The only thing I am going to zonk is a/c fan control. No button, have to use the touch screen

Like those captain chairs seats

Toyota sell this as the more rugged off-road Landcruiser in some other markets, they even have a short wheel base 2 door version. It hasn't changed much over the last decade or so, definitely due a redesign especially the interior.

For both front and rear bumper spoilers (bumper lips), I have been looking for it everywhere and couldn't find them. I asked the dealer to order them and the lady told me I had to get the car with the Sport package. I do not believe they are integrated. I believe they are just pieces of plastic screwed onto the bumpers. However, I looked everywhere and couldn't find them.

Jerry Leung Try using remote start with the fob. A good majority of newer Toyota products give you secret remote start. My 2020 Corolla has it and it wasn’t advertised as such. Try, on the key fob, hitting the lock button twice, and then hit it a 3rd time and hold it. This should start the vehicle without using the subscription service. If it doesn’t work the first time, try it a few more times with different spacing between the button presses. Sometimes the timing can be a little picky.

I want so much to buy one of these- best engine on the market, but the interior is outdated. And the rear door hatch that swings outward? I still may trade my RX in on one. Great review.

What sound system does it have? I am thinking between this and qx80

Would be interesting to see the buyer demographics, but I’m guessing repeat buyers who don’t like change and have money to comfortably buy/lease in that segment frequently.

Nice review. Other than a mini van i don't think the 3rd row was intended for adults. They are perfect for kids that are not taller than 5' 3 or 5' 4". Its the same for my MDX but we bought it for the extra room, otherwise we would have just bought the RDX.

Yes. This car is legibly badass.

It’s a dammm shame this thing doesn’t have CarPlay or Android Auto.

They should make the third row as and Option and then lower the price of the base model little bit. Kind of how the GLB make the third row as an option. If they remove the third row out, the cargo space would be much more usable. Some people would rather have a big cargo space than a cram third row. I'm one of them.

The arm rest is a big zonking zonk for me too my brother.

The box look is the best look! but what do I know? I’m just a early 2000s Chevy guy

Really like the reliability and after market value of Japanese vehicles but they are boring as f--k. Sorry to say that joe.
