Had a deposit on a Limited AWD GH. Ended up buying a “base” Lexus TX350 AWD. Why? Don’t care about the panoroof (more headroom without it as well); 4 yr/50k vs 3/36 bumper to bumper and 6 yr/70k vs 5 yr/60k powertrain; better sound deadening and ride; painted fender well trim and lower cladding vs black plastic; hood struts under hood vs prop rod on any GH; power tilt/telescopic steering wheel vs manual on any GH; Lexus dealership and service experience far superior; better resale value; and I could go on. Price diff between GH Limited AWD, and base Lexus TX350 AWD, after discounts and Conquest money, was only about $3000. And I have heated steering wheel to boot. No brainer. For me, at least. And I like having the 2nd row bench.
Same here. The best motivation to purchase the base TX 350 for me was the fact that a top trim GH was basically the same price. Plus, I don’t drive enough to the point where a hybrid is a must. And like he said in the video, the TX looks way better than the GH in person. The base 350 is not much more expensive than the top trim Telluride, Palisade, etc. I’ve had my TX about 2 months and I’ve been loving every moment of it. Super happy with my decision. Btw, this is by far one of the best car reviews I’ve seen of the TX and GH (or any car period). He actually talked about the minute details that consumers will really care about on a daily basis, such as the digital rear view, ambient lighting (even though he couldn’t show it), and detailed differences between the base and luxury TX, and how they both differ from the GH.
For such a small channel, I'm very impressed with your videos. What do you use to film? One thing I would recommend is breaking down all the specs .. price, fuel and related items. Just a suggestion, but great review man. Keep it up!
Thank you for the compliment! I know it’s some sort of Sony camera, but I’m not sure which one. I appreciate the feedback very much, we can’t improve without it. We’re trying to balance everything and find what works best and we keep trying to improve on each video.
I agree with your comment on Acura. It is a performance brand. I just traded my 2022 MDX for the 2024 TX Luxury. Why? I am a mom with kids and I value space and comfort over performance. The 3rd row in MDX was unusable and the second row was crammed with carseats. Plus Lexus has better customer service.
The Hybrid Max is great as it is but pair that with how soft the GH drives then you realize that is a waste of power. You'll notice you really have to slow down on your turns because of the body roll and the waves of the bumps that makes people in the 2nd and 3rd row sea sick especially on long drives. My top pick is TX 350H or a Honda Pilot, great driving dynamics compare to GH and also the Pilot still has the V6.
We got the Lexus tx hybrid, where I live every Toyota dealership within a couple hours drive was marking up the grand highlander well into tx territory. Lexus negotiated down and we got the warranty extended out to 8 years for barely over $1k more. The gas may cost more but if we intend to keep it a very long time the first month and road trip it has been a massive improvement over our cx9 and expecting to keep it 8-10 years I would never consider paying over list for the Toyota instead. If I only intended to keep it a short term maybe i wouldn’t care so much about the cabin experience so much, but knowing Lexus resale value I’d still probably go Lexus. If Toyota actually sold at list prices in my part of the country maybe it would be different
I think they’re both great buys and given what you’ve said, the Lexus is the better value. Im hopeful that we’ll see dealer markup start to go away, I just don’t think it’s going to be as soon as it should.
I think base TX is the same price as Platinum GH with Hybrid max power train. Most say the GH top trim is the logical choice especially when TX requires premium fuel.
I looked at a Loaded Grand Highlander, They offer brownish colored seats that look amazing, compared to the bland black seats in the TX. I like the console much better in the Toyota.
Unfair maybe but the models we would consider. And I believe the Hybrid TX, is a bit more money (Like a several $1,000 more?) and still not the MPG of the GHL Hybrid. We put on an average 30,000+ miles a year, so the pay-off time is pretty quick all and all:) Thank you for the great review and feedback
You’re right about the price being higher and mpg being lower on the TX hybrid. You’re welcome for the review and thank you for the discussion! I’m glad to see you’ve done your research and it sounds like you’re making a great purchase.
Ambient light on this tx is a joke, only door grab and footwell. I was thinking the samething about the touch feature on the steering wheel and finally you said it.
No big surprise the Lexus will be more luxe interior with a quieter ride. But I don't agree with your approach in the price comparison. The base model TX is missing a lot of tech and features of the top trim GH for the same price. Instead of building a GH model to match the TX specs, I tried building a GH with the TX's price tag of 57k as budget and got loads of features only on the higher end TX. I also tried building a TX to more closely match the GH Plat, and found a somewhat similarly equipped lower end TX is about $10k more than its GH gas Platinum equivalent. So the L badge costs at least 10 grand for the sound insulation and cool modular square cupholders, instead of the "lesser quality" Toyota 360 camera, panoramic sunroof, etc, and with 1 less seat, 2 if the GH is a bench 🤷🏻♀️ The question to ask is if someone shopping with 57k would prefer a very basic low end Lexus or a well equipped high end GH. Design wise there really isn’t enough difference between the two. Of course, absolutely a Luxury package TX is the way to go if budget is not a concern.
Lexus has limited choices for seat colors. Anything but black for me. I'd prefer the Grand Highlanders portobello color, but the Lexus has better acoustic insulation and more speakers over the 11 that you get from the Grand Highlander. Pay more for premium fuel? The Toyota uses regular. Save some $$
I am about to be in the market for a new SUV. I currently have a Sept 2021 Highlander Platinum Hybrid with only 15,150 miles on it. I am also considering the Lexus TX, the Lincoln Nautilus Reserve 3 or the top of the line Black Label Nautilus, and the BMW X5, or the Grand highlander hybrid max. Last option would be to purchase my own vehicle. I have been driving Toyota's since 2010 and have had zero issues. I'd love to hear your take / opinion about the 2024 Nautilus. Thanks!
I think all parents will get the kids fighting lol. The auto park works really well in normal conditions from what I’ve been told, the weather was playing a major factor in its performance. I always forget that he’s filming so much and he gets me doing silly things like the ending. Totally not embarrassing at all.
My brother, lexus tx 550h plus is not going to get 3.4l twin turbo v6, it's going to have 3.5 l v6 2gr-FXS engine, I heard this information from another TH-camr, he mentioned twin turbo v6 two times in his videos, please do not share wrong information
@@manjotsandhu9539 you’re right. I might have accidentally tipped my hand about some upcoming content 😬. I’ve been researching a few vehicles and I might have gotten my models and engines confused for a moment.
why would someone one 22" wheel over 20".. Hit any size pot hole, you would need to buy new tire and rims. I had to replace numerous tires and rims on Audi, M/B in the past. What is the cabin noise difference between Grand Highlander vs TS vs GX?
I’m not a fan of larger wheels myself. The cabin noise seemed quieter on the TX than the Grand Highlander, but that’s somewhat subjective. Perhaps I’ll need to look into a decibel meter to know for sure.
Your MPG's is Real World driving. It's the same weather as all those folks around you, so the numbers at 16-19 are correct, just as is the lower numbers with the GHL or any other car driving in those conditions.
Correct, however, I normally drive a specific route to get a good idea on mileage and I was unable to do that in the TX. So I don’t want to compare numbers if the tests were conducted differently.
Not a big deal, but added to the other issues / reasons, the GHL runs on regular fuel vs Premium fuel for the TX. That means from Maine to San Diego, CA and back is $460.00 in GHL Limited Hybrid, vs TX at $701.00 or about $300.00 more? I will say I have an appointment at the local Lexus dealer to see what they will give me for the trade-in 2020 Highlander, maybe it's enough to think harder about the Lexus. For me, another small issue is the fact that the closest dealer is about 35 miles away. And service (oil change is about $100.00 more) is generally more money, so all things to take into consideration … for me.
Good points, but I’m not sure about the math. Premium fuel isn’t normally almost double the cost of regular fuel and after comparing the Grand Highlander to the TX on their respective websites, the fuel economy is only 1 mpg less in town and highway, although combined is the same. I ran the numbers through Excel and here’s what I came up with. Using Portland Maine as the start, and San Diego as the finish, Google maps said it was a distance of 3098 one way so doubled is 6196. I used highway mileage for each vehicle to determine the GH (27 hwy) would use 229.48 gallons of fuel and the TX (26 hwy) would use 238.31 gallons of fuel. I used the price of regular and premium where I am (I know this would vary from state to state and depending on where you got gas). Regular near me can be had for 2.83 and premium is 3.15. So the GH is $649.43 and the TX is $750.67. I recognize there are more factors that could make those number differentiate greatly, but this gives a ballpark. As for maintenance, I would think Toyota could service the car for routine maintenance (assuming it’s closer for you).
Yeah I compared the Base Hybrid GHL (as that is the one we have coming), to the Gas model TX, GasBuddy was were I did the comparison and the round trip was $460.00 for the Hybrid GHL and $701 for the TX? If I'm comparing the 2 that I would purchase, I have to use the Hybrid vs the Gas model as that is what I be getting. Yeah the Toyota dealer is 2 miles down the road, so IF they would service it, that would be great and a non-issue.
@@yahooskip I’d be surprised if they wouldn’t service it honestly, that could be a flag as well, but maybe I don’t understand why they couldn’t. Also, the TX comes in a hybrid as well. Although I can understand why you choose to compare the models you did, the fuel comparison becomes unfair. Typically the increased upfront cost of the hybrid platform over its standard engine option is offset by the savings in fuel in the long run.
Nice review! I do not care for all the silly features like touch control steering wheel, electronic door handles, paddle shifters on a family SUV? too many touch screen controls, child size shift knob, etc. Please do a night time review to show all the lighting features.
Those are fair points. I’d love to do a nighttime review, that can be tricky for a couple of reasons, but I’ll see what I can do. Thank you for the suggestion!
Based on my calculations, that is too high. The combined mileage is estimated to be 23 miles per gallon on both the Grand Highlander and the TX. The average mileage driven a year in the US is estimated to be 13,500. 13500 miles/23 mpg= 586.96 gallons (I’ll round to 587). Where I live the price difference is about 0.30 per gallon so 587*0.30=176.10. According to the AAA the difference in the national averages is 0.79 so 587*0.79=463.73.
They're the same exact engine. You can use 87. Premium is recommended but not required. Same thing if you compare the Pilot to the MDX. Same engine between those two as well.
But at retail the GHL is a much better deal from the $$$ standpoint. I managed to get my GHL Limited Hybrid for $1,000.00 off the sticker price ($53,337.00) for a Ruby Red GHL Limited Hybrid (which Lexus does't offer), PanoView Monitor, Floormats, MudGuards or what appears to be about $4000.00 more
I agree with both of you. The biggest part comes down to what you’re looking for as far as drivetrain and trim level. I can get over vehicle color options if the car meets more of my needs/wants compared to what I’d get for my desired color. Lexus doesn’t offer a red currently for its hybrid TX, but it offers a lot of standard features including an F Sport tuned suspension. It’s a lot more, but you’re getting a lot as well. If you don’t need or want it, the Grand Highlander offers an awesome value.
Not arguing the merits or benefits of Lexus over Toyota - that would be silly. I'm saying, for the money the GHL is a nice choice. All things being equal, if it was offered with the 2.5 hybrid and a bench seat, and ONLY $2,500.00 to $3,500.00 more, we would be waiting for a Lexus and not the GHL

I didn’t get a panoramic roof or a hybrid engine like I would have in a GH, but I’d rather sacrifice those features for the premium refinement of the TX.

When the TX was first revealed, I thought it was ugly and I was annoyed because I was in the market for a three row and had been hoping to get one. Initially, I thought the GH looked better. Then I saw both in person AND BOY WAS I WRONG. I was shocked at how much better the TX looks than the GH in person. The GH isn’t ugly but it’s super generic; on two separate occasions I’ve mistaken it for a RAV4 and had to look twice to realize it was a GH. The TX on the other hand is striking and distinguished in person, especially in darker colors. After seeing it in person, I changed my mind and decided to get one. It turns heads and I have received several compliments from strangers.

Then I saw both in person AND BOY WAS I WRONG. I was shocked at how much better the TX looks than the GH in person. The GH isn’t ugly but it’s super generic; on two separate occasions I’ve mistaken it for a RAV4 and had to look twice to realize it was a GH. The TX on the other hand is striking and distinguished in person, especially in darker colors. After seeing it in person, I changed my mind and decided to get one. It turns heads and I have received several compliments from strangers.
