    Lexus is ruining their brand with moving to 4-cylinder turbos for everything. I have a 2013 RX 350, and that V6 is an awesome engine. As Scotty says, it's all about physics. Smaller engine with a heavier vehicle, turbo ramming air into the engine, increasing pressure. Those things are doomed to blow up in about half the time.

      GX is a Land Cruiser Prado with some luxury upgrades.
      It's a luxury SUV that you can definitely take off road. People even lift them and use them for serious overlanding. If I didn't have a Jeep, a Forester, and a 4x4 Taco I'd definitely be looking for one to buy. 🙂

      It all depends on maintanance. Scotty did a video on my 2012 Bmw x5 diesel. Sticker was 71k new,, three years old with 48k miles it only cost me 21.500 I had three major repairs done a 1/4 of the dealer cost. If you don't have a bmw shop other then the stealer then your vehicle is the way to go.

    I have a 2022 Lexus RX450h, and this vehicle handles like a dream. With 308hp, it gives the power whenever you need it at whatever speed. I was lucky to get this one for 2022 was the last year Lexus produced a Lexus RX with a V6. Love my RX450h and so far, no issues with this vehicle and I average around 25/30 MPG.
    It also took a while to get used to this high tech marvel for I upgraded from a 2014 RAV4 Limited AWD with 65K miles. It’s a great car with no issues except basic maintenance, and I gave it to my wife as a daily commuter.

    I'm actually considering a 2010-2015 RX 350 along with the 2015 onwards NX. I would also consider the 2nd gen 2007-2009 RX 350 or even the 2003-2006 RX 330, but that would probably need more technology retrofits & other upgrades to have the features I want & for it to have the look I want similar to the 2013 onwards RX or 2015 onwards NX. I would also make some visual & tech upgrades to any of the other models I mentioned

      I’ve had the 2003-2006 RX330 unfortunately lots of things went wrong with it so we sold it, but I loved the car. It was fully loaded and comfy. I’m in a 2015 NX now and I love it even more. I recommend the RX for a family but if it’s just you and maybe one or two more people at most then then the NX has a lot of style and is a nice smaller RX

    Just leased a 2023 Highlander Hybrid Copper edition. Rides smoothly and surprisingly fast acceleration, but the best news is that I'm getting 35-40 mpg and over 700+ miles per tank of gas. It has 3 rows of seats and nearly all of the electronic features of the more expensive Lexus. It's a treat to drive and time flies as I listen to my favorite audible book on that beautiful large screen. Reason I leased is that technology is moving so fast that in three years I have the option to lease or purchase the latest and newest tech available.

    • @louisrichards3702

      the real problem with new tech is fixing it when your car is out of warrenty,,, with most leases it gets fixed free by the dealer or nearly free.

    They give us one of those when we take my wife’s GX in for service and I have to say that they are probably the finest automobile I’ve ever driven. That NA V6 makes them feel like a rocket and the interior is as nice as you can get. I would have bought one next time around but I’m out because the new redesign has a turbo engine. I’ll probably grab a new GX in the last year of the NA V8 and figure out what get after that.

    I have this same 350 but it's 2017. The vehicle is incredible! But recently the rear wheel hub bearings went bad. It was making a roaring, growling, grinding sound. I took it to Firestone and they couldn't figure out what it was. So I went on Yt and Google and did my research and found out that these vehicles are notorious for this issue. Other than no issues and it runs like a top. 🤷🏾‍♂️
