Man I saw a platinum Sequoia the other day in person and I did not like the black trim above the wheels it looked so cheap and for a 82k+ SUV that’s not acceptable…I am leaning more towards the gx550 overtrail + I know with Lexus you get better quality and a more luxurious feel than any sequoia will give you. This particular spec is the exact vehicle I would go for. Looks really nice
That is the best of the new Toyota/Lexus redesigns. Love that a 3rd row is not forced on you.

Just personal preference, but I will have to respectfully disagree re the front end, much preferring this over the plain-looking LC front. I also prefer this dash/display over the LC. Touch controls should be less susceptible to failure by dust, etc. Anxious to see interior noise level comparisons between the two. I especially fear the 1958 LC will be noisy with all the hard plastics.

this is one of the very few vehicles I would consider moving out of my 2020 TRD pro Tundra for. That 2020 Tundra was roughly $55k out the door 4 years ago, all these new trucks are $65k, $70k, I'm sure this trim of the GX550 will be close to $80k. Can't say I can justify trading in my truck and handing over another $40k for this though, even if I do like it a lot.

If you install a drawer system in the rear then you can achieve a flat floor. I suspect this is semi-intentional.
Ive always only wanted a Land Rover and was looking for a Defender, but this is the first time I wanted a Lexus… wow
I can definitely see how that GX would replace the 4runner for sure
wow im impressed this is a very good looking vehicle
If had to swap my T4R, it would be for the new LC base one. Price point seems to be close to 55k and has all the stuff I really care about.
Do you do the modifications on your vehicles yourself or do you use a shop? If so do you have any recommendations for other things diy or professional mechanics that d after market work?
This my just be our Highlander Replacement sweet ride!!
Looks cool. Soccer moms will enjoy it
How does the ventilation look like for the back seats and the trunk area where the 3rd row seating would be? Coming from excellent rear AC in my LX470 I would hate to have it stuffy back there for my kids and doggos.
Looks good the Over trail GX 550 will be my next SUV time to save up. It will have the same engine as the LX 600 but i think the GX 550 is the best size

Would you say the 2nd row has more or less room than the new Landcruiser? Or about the same? Especially the middle seat on the bench, on the LC videos it looks like there is a big hump messing up the left room? I got 3 boys I gotta haul around in the back seat.
THIS LOOKS REAL GOOD! WHAT COLORS DOES THIS TRIM COME IN?
Looks sweet
It looks like the way that back hatch pops up that a long rooftop tent would be a problem.
I'm not fully sold on it and the land cruiser. I love my 2016 4runner trail, but I'm really curious about the new 4runner trail hunter. If they make that model.

Sweet car, i almost waited for this for my wife. She stuck with her 2023 Jeep Overland 4x4. heads up display, massage seats, loaded, 59k. Curious what this GX will sell for. Im still enjoying my 2021 TRD Pro Tundra..:)
I guess I can live with the massage driver's seat just to get the ML 21 speaker 1800 watt surround sound system, lol! I may need to take the 1958 off the list. Dealing with 2 systems (Turbo + engine = change the oil often) rather than 3 systems (Hybrid + Turbo + engine = change the oil often and keep the rear battery cooling vents clear) seems a better choice. Thanks for sharing, Jon.
That is the best looking Toyota/Lexus ever made! In fact, I think it's the best looking SUV available, and it will be nearly impossible to get one for the first year or two.

Very nice ride
Very nice looking vehicle. But one thing to remember is that the Lexus has pretty poor approach and departure angles (26/22) and only 8.9 of. Ground clearance. Compared to a 4Runner…(33/26) with 9.6 of gc. So Overtrail means light trails that are only, at most, moderately technical. If you come across large (tree) road obstructions…bring a chain saw. Pretty sure very few would try to rock climb in a Lexus. 🤷♂️

Woah - does the middle rear not fold down separately? This was my new ski-mobile. I haul 4 adults with skis inside my 4Runner right now and was looking at this for a nice replacement / upgrade. Prefer skis inside instead of on the roof.
I'm awaiting the GX550 Over Trail and will likely get one. I don't quite understand the OverTrail vs. the OverTrail+ and will likely depending on the differences &/or what which one is actually available and in which color(s). (I think I'm going to pass on a Sequoia now that I'm seeing more info on the GX550 coming in.)

Two thoughts: 1. I like the blacked out roof way more than the white roof on the Land Cruisers. 2. I need Toyota to offer the new Taco in that incognito colour damnit!! It’s perfect.

Really a compelling offering. When will we see pricing? Actually on sale when in 2024? 17 mpg in this day and age is pretty bad however.

Thanks for sharing. I am considering this new GX or the TX. How does the 2nd row room in this GX compare to the TX? Also how is cargo capacity in the GX? I know its 6 inches shorter than the TX but it looks taller and wider than the TX.
@MIZUNOMP60
7 ай бұрын
Second row in TX slides back and forth but it's fixed in GX, and the TX offers more leg room. TX will have more cargo capacity overall too at nearly 98 cubic feet with second and third rows folded flat. No released info on GX cargo capacity yet but it's promised to offer more than the current GX460. They're very different vehicles with different purposes. The TX is like a lifted luxury minivan alternative with good on-road driving dynamics especially with the F Sport trim and good fuel economy with the hybrid powertrains. The TX will be considerably more fuel efficient than the GX (mid to high 20'smpg vs 17mpg combined) if that matters. The GX is a truck platform off-road capable vehicle and offers a twin turbo v6 versus the four-cylinder hybrid options with the TX. The GX has no on road driving impression reviews yet. The GX is a truck platform, the TX a unibody design. Typically, unibody platforms are superior for on road driving dynamics and comfort. Alot of hype about this long overdue GX550, it looks great to my eyes anyways and I'd expect demand will be high and who knows about markups!
