  • The 2024 GX is all-new and Lexus has dropped the v8 for a twin-turbo v6 that brings over 40 hp more and 150 lb-ft of torque more. The boxy GX gets increased towing, better tech and 3 different chassises for off-roading.

    Needs more wood, aluminum, carbon fiber or something. Cabin looks sterile like a Toyota rather than a Lexus. Take a cue from Genesis or Mazda and use synthetic leather or something to class it up a bit.

      That is a good point and it would make this look a lot better inside

      Speak for yourself. It's so refreshing to get in a higher-end vehicle and not be blinded by all the glitzy cheap-looking trim.

    I bought the one of the last gx 460 luxury’s with the off road package for 68k. Has the wood, leather, and the off-road goodies. V8 for me for attest 15 years

    Great review Anthony! I did not notice the sticker price and had to go back and I was really surprised at how relatively low it was considering all that you get with this SUV. Love the looks and it really is so well equipped. Happy Friday eve to you and hoping that you are doing so great!

    • @HawkeyeRides
      @HawkeyeRides  หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      They are priced well and it’s a great suv. Lexus should’ve came out a year ago with it when I was in the market for an suv but it probably would’ve been too much vehicle for the family 😁. Happy Friday eve James 👍

    My thought is I'd like to get the overtrail plus with third row and captains chairs .. they should permit that .. or the luxury with 20 inch wheels .. don't understand having to get 22's they ride worse than 20's or 18's

    • @HawkeyeRides
      @HawkeyeRides  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I agree but everyone wants big wheels 🤷‍♂️👍

    • @MrJohnmichael33

      1 million percent agree. I’m also told “in the South the Premium will not come with 2nd row captains even though that’s what the website says.” How dumb?
      So simple give me 2nd row captains, 3rd row AND lockers. Differentiating the vehicle this way makes NO SENSE. unfortunately I can’t order what I want I’m not getting on the wait list.
      Not to mention the bearing issues on this motor.

    What are your thoughts on some of the engine issues they appear to be having with the 3.4 L turbo charged six?

    • @HawkeyeRides
      @HawkeyeRides  หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      It’s not as bullet proof as the v8 but most buyers will trade or upgrade around 100-125k which you should be fine for that. Unfortunately once you get 150-200k the real reliable changes. I wouldn’t buy the first year of any refresh as it’s always good to let them work out the problems but if you do buy the warranty will take care of it.

  • @leehowell4258
    @leehowell4258 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Good review. Lexus got it right with this one. I haven’t heard anyone getting anywhere near 21mpg though. 14.5-15 seems to be the norm for everyday driving which is disappointing. Hopefully the hybrid will debut later this year or as a ‘25 option and get better gas mileage.

    • @HawkeyeRides
      @HawkeyeRides  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      They did a great job with the refresh bring the old school style. The MPG’s I go by what the company says but your spot on these suvs are not gas friendly 👍

  • @SWFLSlimJim

    It might be priced well for what it is, but it’s priced too high for most people today.
    I enjoy the reviews, appreciate the legroom info as a fellow well over 6 footer too many average dudes never think about leg room. 👍🏻

    • @HawkeyeRides
      @HawkeyeRides  หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      I agree the pricing for vehicles are a lot, that's why I'm keeping my vehicles for a while and for us tall people it's even harder to buy specially how most companies take legroom away from the front or the seat itself is to short.

    I purchased one of the last 23 GX 460 💙 the V8. Love the redesign of the 550, but can’t except the V6 turbo engine.

    • @HawkeyeRides
      @HawkeyeRides  28 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      I like the style too but the v8 is awesome congratulations

    • @KRIPSYNODUTS

      You better like the v6, they can even do a v4 just like the baby Land Cruiser.

    Do you think I can take this spec, the one with 19's off road? I plan on going on pretty gnarly trails.

    • @HawkeyeRides
      @HawkeyeRides  27 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      You can but the clearance is 8.66 inch, I would lift it and consider a different wheel size but it is still capable.

    Lexus downgraded LUX factor on 550 compared to 460

    I own the GX 460 and recently test drove the GX 550. I was not at all impressed with the interior; it felt like a Toyota to me, akin to a Capstone Landcruiser at best, in my opinion.

    • @HawkeyeRides
      @HawkeyeRides  23 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      It does share a lot of similarities but I like the style 👍

    If people are smart, they will get this instead of a G Wagon. Toyota reliability and modern day inflation, it makes sense

      They went with the off road look instead of luxury

    The new GX is not better than the Defender off road it has proven on several test. Definitely not a better on road drive. I'm not a GX hater I owned a 2020 and was very happy with it. I now own a 2024 Defender and it just feels and drives more eloquently imo.

    • @HawkeyeRides
