Greetings from Scotland! Of all the vehicle reviewers I watch - your humour (English spelling) is way off the charts compared to any others! Your wackiness (is that a word?) fits with me perfectly! Keep it just the way it is young lady! Love it! 😊😊
The camera inside the tailgate is for the digital rear view mirror to show an unobstructed view. Flip the switch on the rear view mirror to turn on the monitor. 😊
I was behind one of these at a stoplight yesterday. Was surprised to see the “LEXUS” block lettering on the tailgate because it looks nothing like previous generation GXs to my eye. Love the off-the-cuff humor you always manage to include in these reviews, particularly the deciphering of symbols. 😆 Thank you, Sarah 👍👍👍
It’s the jokes I look forward to. The jokes about seeing the burned-in sun in your eyes and the deciphering of the symbols on whatever that was next to the driver’s seat were hilarious. And I agree with the person about the Sarah Breaking Hair. “O.K.!” and then POW!, out flies the hair. Love it all. Thanks.
Was a signature away from purchasing a white overtrail about a month ago. They were about 5k over msrp with stupid add-ons. I asked them to remove them and they wouldn't budge. I walked, and a week later they called and said they would remove them😂! It's a sweet suv. I loved it. Maybe next year I'll get one. When they called back the sales manager said he really wanted my 21 Toyota ORP with only 19k on the odo. They offered me 38k for it. I paid 44k 3 years previous.
Amen to your observation about buying an “off road” vehicle with an over emphasis on luxury features at the expense of capability. Also, 22s probably wouldn’t be any off-roaders choice if there are rocks any larger than a tennis ball lying around. On the other hand, if you live in Indiana and encounter crappy blacktop roads, snow, gravel roads, etc. just to get to a mall, maybe there is a niche market.
OMG yes! The grilles on all Lexus models have been hideous for a long time. It looks like they are finally moving away from those tortured trapezoids or whatever they are.
The real one to be looking out for doing a review is the Ineos Grenadier. Severely overbuilt for offroad, extremely heavy duty undercarriage, triple locked differentials. Can’t wait for you to get your hands on one of those.
Great review, Sarah. You're the only car reviewer that squeals tires in the dirt! Your review drives home the point that Lexus cars, built in Japan, are simply the best. BTW...I love your cute shoes. Keep up the great work.
That’s a great opening statement 🤣 I live in central London which is an excellent place to see numerous Range Rovers, Defenders and many other off road capable vehicles!
Lexus paints the driveshafts, at that price it's normal too 😄. Too bad you didn't get the off-road version, but your test drive already gives you an idea of its capabilities, which must be impressive.
I like it that it looks purposeful and utalitarian despite being the Luxury Plus - no chrome! yay! - and I love that you take it on the Rally Special Stage 2.0 and off-road test, even if it is not the dedicated off-road version, Sarah! ❤ I don't need to say it was another top-notch review, but I will anyway - this was another top-notch review! Thank you for what you do and Stay Awesome!
My 2015 armada was just as nice, and after watching this review that Sarah does an amazing job with, no thanks, thank you for all you do, Sarah. You are awesome, and thank you for your service.
Great review, love the looks on this generation! I am still driving my first gen 2003 Gx470, with the 2 UZ. These trucks last a lifetime if you take care of them. Ps, you have the best car reviews on TH-cam, well done!
5th matching wheel same since Gen I GX. "Pavement Princess"! If your HUD adjusted correctly. Left column CAP A has a diagonal line until you tap it to set to AUTO. Rear mirror/rear camera like having a drop top. Shapeology cover hides 9v charger/fuzz buster plug. Your custom digital gauge cluster is set to your profile. If by chance after setting up your cluster you want to change yes pull over don't drive and customize.
Watching how you're testing a luxury SUV on your off-road course is a special pleasure. It's like watching a battle of engineers who engineered off-road techs against the marketing department who marketed in a bunch of luxury features into the car. Also, wishing you that some day you'll get a new 2025 G Wagon for off-road test. It seems Mercedes-Benz likes you, so there's hope.
@@noo4pass well go touch some grass sniff a tree n possibly drink from ur local pond cause not all mercedes owners are rappers,pdf files,or rich kids. I'm a lower middle class who saved up bought a 2009 e500 amg wagon because it's easy to work on cheaper then a toyota on parts and will last forever and looks amazing that's a brain worm take u just made.
Always an honest and truthful review. We all know these suckers will never see off pavement adventures. But you still put it thru the rally stage test! 🙂 Pricey grocery getter...
Hey Sarah! I’d love it if you would do a review on the newly redesigned 2025 Cadillac CT5, either the 4 cylinder or the 6 cylinder. It’s a great car with all new tech!
Lexus ist noch Qualität In dieser Form gibt es das niergens. Da ist die Verarbeitung Top Da ist das Material Top und die Technik hält ewig. Lexus baut die Besten Autos der Welt.
I won't give up my GX470 for a long long time. Sure it is antiquated, but it has an engine I know will never leave me stranded. The recall on this new motor and it's longevity is still out for jury, but I doubt it will ever be as iconic as the 2uz-fe 4.7V8. Now if I only could get some of the trail cam gizmos that would be awesome ;-)
Yeah those roof racks as we call them in South Africa. Those on my Dad's Ford Territory 2006, I removed them as the rubber placings for balance starting wearing out and the noise is exhausting, will put them back if they are needed.😅
Out here in the real wild west, this SUV would be considered a perfect vehicle for 'drugstore' cowboys! Love your opening statement saying much the same!!
I believe that second rear facing camera that is behind the tail gate glass may be the camera it will use if you are towing. Or, it might be one of the cameras the system uses for the driver assists.
The ultimate off-road rig for people who drive it on the road is the Land Rover Defender. I've seen many with every offroad extra with road tyres. Not even all terrains.
I really like how Lexus builds cars and their attention to detail like for instance, the little plastic cover over the door latch, if you’ve ever seen a Toyota have this it’s basically a Lexus…….with higher parts….bins…..yep…. The other thing is that the panel gaps I always look at those. I’m such a nerd.
Ha! The LCD glass was my Senior Project when I went to Widener. I wanted to make welding helmets with it but right after I graduated I saw one in a Eastwood catalog around 1999. Oh well. Great minds think alike.
You make the best reviews ever. Nobody goes under to show us what's underneath
Never heard of Savage Geese...
@@jimbo_dilly1675I think my wife’s boyfriend watches him.
The Sarah hair accelerometer on that braking test was off the chart
coz of the nose dive :)
True that, big front dive, short distance.
The Sarah brake test HAIR ACCELEROMETER will also need to include a hair departure angle measure
I usually hate the way newer cars look, but I saw one of these at a light the other day and was pretty impressed.
I LOVE THE NEW SQUARE BOXIER LOOK.
Doesn't look pretty from the back, it's too narrow and the wheels look too narrow, making it visually weak, compared to the mega mean facia...
@@redlinenorma1I thought the same thing (maybe wider tires would help???)
Really appreciate that you put all of your vehicles reviews up on the lift. Great tech information. Plus I love all the humor! Great channel!
Greetings from Scotland! Of all the vehicle reviewers I watch - your humour (English spelling) is way off the charts compared to any others! Your wackiness (is that a word?) fits with me perfectly! Keep it just the way it is young lady! Love it! 😊😊
You should have said humour, correct spelling.😀
@@jamespielou9591 Nah, I'm not English, so it's "English spelling!" For us Celts it would be "Àbhachdas" 😊😊👍👍
All my Lexus live in Texas.
Thanks a bunch Sarah 🙏
Sarah delivering some of the best car reviews on TH-cam like always!
Lexus looking real strong with their heavy weight contender GX550.
The camera inside the tailgate is for the digital rear view mirror to show an unobstructed view. Flip the switch on the rear view mirror to turn on the monitor. 😊
Bummed you weren't able to get the Overtrail trim. Hopefully you can get one to test in the future.
I preferred my 2024 GX460. Last year for the full V8
2023 is the last V8

Did the back look Chinese K carish, in real life?

And I agree with the person about the Sarah Breaking Hair. “O.K.!” and then POW!, out flies the hair. Love it all. Thanks.
Very thorough - not many reviewers cover things like wheel manufacturer! Great technical review, sweet rig.
Love your content sarah

So why didn’t you do it?
Amen to your observation about buying an “off road” vehicle with an over emphasis on luxury features at the expense of capability.

On the other hand, if you live in Indiana and encounter crappy blacktop roads, snow, gravel roads, etc. just to get to a mall, maybe there is a niche market.
Think off-roaders looking at the GX will buy the base premium / premium + and add their own stuff or go for the overtrail
20:39 best comment of this vid. That number truly did have a purpose. Thanks for calling that out.......
Agreed. The only reasonable solution to this, imo is a stronger transmission that will support 550 lbft tq and power output to match.
It didn't always make sense i.e. 600h
19:53 My exact vehicle! 2004 GX470 237K miles running and looking perfect. Thanks for the shout out!
Super review as always! Not bad climbing for open f/r diffs.
Hair looks marvelous
*Lexus GX is Always the answer* ❤
"albeit" (10:52) -- love it
Unique reviewing style. Following.
Best reviews on the internet! Bought my Corolla Morizo Gr after watching your review on it!!
Wow, a palatable grille on a Lexus! It's been years! I hope this look will be carried through all models.
Agree, very storm trooper helmet looking.
OMG yes! The grilles on all Lexus models have been hideous for a long time. It looks like they are finally moving away from those tortured trapezoids or whatever they are.
The real one to be looking out for doing a review is the Ineos Grenadier. Severely overbuilt for offroad, extremely heavy duty undercarriage, triple locked differentials.
Can’t wait for you to get your hands on one of those.
If you can get them to lock!
Missed Sarah on Sunday.
Finally! I can’t wait for YOU to review this!!!
I’ve seen more then 10 gx550 reviews but you are my top 3 reviewer excellent detailed job can’t wait for my premium plus in February
This thing is freaking awesome!!!!!
Sarah know her stuff 👍😉 a review that you can trust completely 👏👏👏👏👏🔥
Great review, Sarah. You're the only car reviewer that squeals tires in the dirt! Your review drives home the point that Lexus cars, built in Japan, are simply the best. BTW...I love your cute shoes. Keep up the great work.
Supernova Blue Steel. Sarah knows.
It's definitely sharp looking...
yes, but what about the car?
Top shelf review as always, Sarah. Heck of a sound system, and lots of cool options.
That’s a great opening statement 🤣 I live in central London which is an excellent place to see numerous Range Rovers, Defenders and many other off road capable vehicles!
Lexus paints the driveshafts, at that price it's normal too 😄. Too bad you didn't get the off-road version, but your test drive already gives you an idea of its capabilities, which must be impressive.
Waiting for all your uploads like a drug...THX
Excellent video 📹
Sarah is very impressed by the length and girth of this totally Japan engineering 👏
That push button opaque sunroof glass feature is freaking awesome. Thanks Lexus!
This is the first review I've seen that points this out, super cool.
I very much enjoy your car reviews!
So nice to see design choices with serviceability in mind
I like it that it looks purposeful and utalitarian despite being the Luxury Plus - no chrome! yay! - and I love that you take it on the Rally Special Stage 2.0 and off-road test, even if it is not the dedicated off-road version, Sarah! ❤ I don't need to say it was another top-notch review, but I will anyway - this was another top-notch review! Thank you for what you do and Stay Awesome!
good review thanks
God I love how you are always surprised by the breaking and the extreme joy you get when you discover something :)
A new car review and and hieroglyphics in one video! Only from Sarah!
The attention to easy repair and replacement of parts will earn Toyota a lot of friends.
My 2015 armada was just as nice, and after watching this review that Sarah does an amazing job with, no thanks, thank you for all you do, Sarah. You are awesome, and thank you for your service.
10:40 - 11:15
Best ever advice 👌👍
I am a very happy owner of The Old Lexus GX 460. That lovely V8 is averaging 19 MPG. Love it!
No benefit in twin turbos, NONE!
Very thorough review, thank you. I’ll be sticking with my 2023 GX460 for quite some time.
Great review, love the looks on this generation! I am still driving my first gen 2003 Gx470, with the 2 UZ. These trucks last a lifetime if you take care of them. Ps, you have the best car reviews on TH-cam, well done!
@SamIAm-yd8cs - agree
My 06 LX470 just keeps going too. Hard to justify buying anything new when the old Toyota/Lexus do all the same core functions.
I love the hair physics when you're breaking! Your hair floats like you're on a space station!

“Luxury” and “off-road” don’t seem to go together…….but I guess it makes sense in 2024 ☺️. Cute boots 😁
Brilliant editing with the Japanese style graphics, props, sounds, and humor!

Man, I've asked for a G Wagon about 100 times already, lol. They don't want me reviewing anything too high society I guess.
@@SarahnTuned or too gangsta 😁
@bsmirnov yeah, all the rappers (who are all recently implicated) driving them has definitely changed my view of Mercedes owners.

Props for picking up and sharing the wheels are made by Rays
Nice vehicle for limo service. I've noticed a few at the airports I service.
Great review! 😊❤
That's some hella stopping power. You almost did a Polish wheelie.
I would die for one of these, even if only its mother could love it. ❤
I love your review style, quick sub
Always learn something new when I watch your content. That Rays stamp find was totally unexpected.
What didn't sound right sounded perfect!
The Lounge Jazz music in the video is effin' legendary!
My non luxury 2010 Xterra shares something in common with this absurdly priced Lexus...the same awful gas mileage. Great review thanks Sarah.
Nice video... excellent job. John
Great job on the video Sarah! Thanks for making it.
great call out on the name.. many of us bought 460s when 460 < 470, and we had no problems doing it..
I’ve been waiting for this review. Just started hoping you ❤ it.
"Mall crawler" - I love it!
Of all of the different nicknames you gave it, Pavement Princess was my favorite. Do the Cadillac Lyriq please!
Always an honest and truthful review. We all know these suckers will never see off pavement adventures. But you still put it thru the rally stage test! 🙂
Pricey grocery getter...
Im addict to her reviews
This is the test drive I was waiting for! Thank you.
100% True " for those that will never take it off pavement"... for Westside Soccer moms going to Gelsons....
Do you really care that deeply what other people do with their belongings?
Lexus knows their market. That's why people buy them. I'd buy one if I could afford and it would be my on-payment daily driver.
I don't even know what that means. lol
It’s great people have disposable income to buy this sort of thing for flash… nice
Closest to off road most will get is the lawn on the edge of their driveway.
Hey Sarah! I’d love it if you would do a review on the newly redesigned 2025 Cadillac CT5, either the 4 cylinder or the 6 cylinder. It’s a great car with all new tech!

I really love your outfit
Hoping you get your hands on an Overtrail model to review! The shades are commonly called "peasant" blockers.
YES!!!! The seat bolster test.
20:23 V8 was ditched to meet fleet emissions goals. Not for gas mileage improvements.
Nice ride!
7:25 perfect
. the shampoo stop , glorious . ❤
Yeah those roof racks as we call them in South Africa. Those on my Dad's Ford Territory 2006, I removed them as the rubber placings for balance starting wearing out and the noise is exhausting, will put them back if they are needed.😅
I hope that you are able to review the over trail + trim.

I love this lady! Never seen a review like this, well done, new sub here.
Thanks!
Lexus newest GX550 comes with turbo that's something for a fullsize luxury SUV awesome test drive review Sarah.
The ultimate off-road rig for people who drive it on the road is the Land Rover Defender. I've seen many with every offroad extra with road tyres. Not even all terrains.
14.4 mpg? My 2019 Land Cruiser 5.7 V8 has averaged 15.7 since I bought it new over five years ago. Not crazy about turbo V6.
V6 seems a waste of time seeing that fuel economy hasn’t really changed. Bring back the V8 I don’t recall any recalls on that one
It's new and needs to be broken in, and has a very limited time to actually calculate. Calm down. My 2016 GX with the V8 I get about 14.
When I reviewed the GX460 I drove it the same way I did the 550 and averaged about the same.
I really like how Lexus builds cars and their attention to detail like for instance, the little plastic cover over the door latch, if you’ve ever seen a Toyota have this it’s basically a Lexus…….with higher parts….bins…..yep…. The other thing is that the panel gaps I always look at those. I’m such a nerd.
