Press the lock button 3 times. Hold down the lock button on the 3rd press. The vehicle will remote start. That is a hidden feature Toyota and Lexus have had since the 2nd generation keyless entry key fob came out.
Man...I can't explain it but these videos are so therapeutic, relaxing and informative.
That's terrific feedback - more to come!
His voice is soothing. Not too much emotion. He shows enthusiasm and excitement, but it’s not overdone. He’s relaxing to listen to. Plus, I dig the GoPro on his skull cap, so funny and he’s like IDGF what I look like, I’m doing this…
I love the fact that a Rav4 Prime, the pioneer-ish of the SUV combo, was in the test video for a while. We loved ours, thus we cannot wait for our allocation of a TX 550h+.
We’re about to get our TX in about 2 days and we’re very excited. We have tried everything in this segment and nothing combines the space, interior quality, luxury and MPG’s the way the TX does. The QX60 was really nice but much smaller than the TX, closer in size to the regular Highlander. Same for the MDX, drove slightly sportier but it’s much smaller, doesn’t offer the same MPG and the tech was very frustrating to use to put it nicely, the XT6 was just disappointing, it was old, slow, very cramped, horrible tech, it just wasn’t the mini-Escalade we were promised, and then there was the XC90, more luxurious than the TX, had even more power, wasn’t quite as efficient and the 4cylinder didn’t sound as good or as smooth as the V6, but ultimately it was much smaller on the inside and the tech was starting to feel old. ultimately we settled on a TX500h F-Sport Luxury we really wanted the plug in system but Lexus doesn’t offer the Pano roof for some reason when you get up to the 550h+. Hopefully that is changed soon.
Any thoughts so far if you got it by now?
@@arhamkhakwani5851 must be enjoying the lexus too much to reply. 🤣
Whoah your neighbor has a miata
they’re not rare.
@@palmeditsx still cool. my neighbor let me drive his 2021 and i fell in love with the miata even more.
He's a cool dude
@@MilesPerHr What about a Day in the Life with 911 Dakar video please do it on Saturday and put it next to the Caddy Blackwing
Love the day in the life videos. Keep it up 👊🏻
Thanks! Will do!
I really like the face of this Lexus
Day in the life videos are nice ❤
Glad you're enjoying them!
nice review, but why didn't you use the ambient lights inside and give more info on the 8 way adjustable seat like all the movements. 👌
It likely has remote start as Toyota has a sequence of key presses to execute. My 2020 Corolla has it so I’m guessing the Grand Highlander would too. You press the lock button three times at a brisk pace and on the third press, hold until the lights flash a couple of times. It will run the car for ten minutes then shutoff again. The timing can take a little practice but once you get it, it’s easy.
Dude, you make me want to go out and buy one this week! I am eyeing the TX 500 H plus F sport in black.
It's the most expensive one, but also honestly probably the one to get. Cant beat the v6 for reliabiltiy, and it's quicker and more economical than the non-PHEV hybrid.
great vid
Glad you liked it!
Thanks much for the great review. Would it be possible to review TX 550h and compare it with 550h+?
I love it, this channel has become my favourite car channel!
I'm so glad you like my content!
buying this just for the turning radius
Definitely gonna look at this and the grand Highlander as well as the Chevy traverse once they’re regularly available
Have you had issues with the mark levinson cutting out when you have the volume up? Any other issues during the time you have had it?
Awesome
Have you ever been pulled over doing one of these ?
you should see me fit my mountain bike inside my mini cooper 😂 suprizingly works, just have to take both wheels off
Thank you, just to clarify additionally, does this TX have a softer/smoother or firmer ride than the Grand Highlander, particularly on rougher surfaces?
Marginally smoother - the GH's ride is actually quite good. This one is tuned to be ever so slightly softer.
what similar size SUV is better in terms of lower road/wind highway noise?
Thanks for the review. Does it come with a hitch for the bike?
Great question! I honestly didn't check, but many of the vehicles in this segment hide a hitch receiver under some plastic cladding. I'd be surprised if it was missing one.
Please do Honda crv vtec turbo awd
Is it really that loud inside? Im surprised. I wonder if there's a better option in the same class.
You’re my favorite TH-camr of 2023…
I know it’s going to be the same this year 😈
Thank you for the support!
Where did you get those awesome cycling shorts? Link please!
Honestly, I think I picked them up from a Nordstrom rack years ago - tag is long gone, so I can't tell you the brand, sorry!
What are you Canadian? Cars parked on the driveway and junk in the garage?
Can you do a review for the new Land Rover defender
I've reviewed the Defender several times, actually. Use the search bar on my channel page 👍
Miles i missed your bmw videos my brother
More BMWs on the way!
How do you feel about the lack of AC buttons vs. having to use the touch screen to manipulate the A/C level/floor vents/etc? Do you just leave it on auto?
It's in so many new cars that he drives now so I don't think he minds as much.
I still prefer physical controls, but there are varying degrees of annoyance with these climate touch controls. This one is among the least offensive.
@@MilesPerHr Thanks for your input! I appreciate your perspective!
The fact that you didn’t put the sunglasses in the literal sunglasses holder is driving me crazy😭😭
And there’s also a storage space under the wireless charger that could’ve been utilized 😫😫😫😫
I show that storage space under the charging pad later in the video - while eating lunch.
@@MilesPerHr yep, I left my comment prematurely
33 miles if electric range? Does it also charge the battery while being driven like a Prius would?
Yes engine charging the battery is standard for all types of hybrids
please try gwm poer 2023
Great review. Do you prefer the Lexus TX 550 F Sport over the Acura MDX Type S?
MDX type S all day long. The MDX is a real luxury car with proper luxury car underpinnings
The TX is not a luxury car. It’s underpinnings are also used in the Camry and RAV4, and both of those cars cost less than 30k each
@@naveenthemachineuh, no, tx underpinnings are of the new century SUV
@@abdullahbinshahid3199
Uh no, the TX & new Century SUV "underpinnings" are of the new Grand Highlander. 😆
@@naveenthemachineyou are aware that the MDX, Pilot, CRV, HRV and Accord are all based on the same global platform right? That is coming from Honda engineers
The MDX Type S would be my pick. Much more enjoyable to drive. However, I'm biased to favor dynamics higher than some other criteria. The MDX doesn't ride as nicely or have as much passenger/cargo space.
Cost 82k, I don't see the interior led ambient light.
Self parking still needs some work obviously. I'd rather my self-driving features err on the side of conservative rather than reckless as this one apparently does.
If the battery runs out will it hurt driving the car engine only?
Not at all - the hybrid system is designed to drain and recharged the battery without issue
Do most Americans not reverse park their cars?
Its not a V6 its a 4 cylinder... LOL
This is basically sequoia right ?
No. That's the GX. This is Lexus' Grand Highlander.
I guess it requires premium gasoline.
can i have a car that you might be happy and willing to give away
If you're over 12 yo and still feel the need to 'brag about' how your car looks, you shouldn't be driving at all. And who cares about a sunroof.
80k and auto park sucks !!! And toyota and lexus still don't offer a great app for a remote start !!!😢
I didn’t like the front end
This is a low effort, pure sales driven product. I guess Lexus feels the brand building is over and established.
Yeah Lexus as a brand is dead just like infiniti
@@naveenthemachinedead lol are you serious bmw and Mercedes is dead like dead.. they barley generate sells.. combine them both and they still are worth less than Lexus and Toyota… net worth buddy
@@Uruieie no bmw Mercedes are fine. Their pedigree and level of prestige are significantly higher than Lexus.
Besides a brands net worth doesn’t make them better
Based on your logic, McDonald’s is better than any other restaurant brand because they’re worth significantly more than those brands
@@naveenthemachine I mean them Mercedes and bmw lose hella deprecation. Real money people think about money as a luxury and no one wants a car that loses 30k on value after 10k miles 😂😂 rip off.
@@naveenthemachine a brands net worth shows success and bmw and Benz are far behind. Volkswagen needs Porsche Audi and Lamborghini to stay relevant
Two thumbs down for it having a CVT
The new Lexus TX is a true disappointment as a luxury 3-row SUV.
Living with it must be boring. Because the TX in general is subpar compared to the competition
Literally any other 3 row suv mops this off the floor
what other cars in this price/segment would you think are better?
@@adamcabral9182 literally any other 3 row SUV
MDX aviator cx90 gv80 xt6 qx60 grand Cherokee traverse Acadia pilot telluride palisade, q7 etc. any of these are far superior to the tx in every way
@@naveenthemachine some of these are agreeable I was just asking to see what you would have given me but yes on genesis they have really stepped up their game big time and it’s nice seeing their cars on the road
@@naveenthemachine far superior to the tx in every way? If you want to be taken seriously then at least try to sound reasonable. XC90's 3rd is for children vs TX for adults.
@@MLDS-ok9vp they are superior. Thr xc90 3rd row isn’t much smaller than the TX. Plus the xc90 has a much nicer interior with richer materials more features much better performance handling ride with air suspension and a double wishbone front. Oh and the xc90 is safer in crash tests.
As for other 3 rows, there’s the telluride and palisade both of which are so much better in all aspects from design to interior materials to tech to features to space etc
Can’t see 80 k for that . Sorry
