Thank you for that demonstration. I was in that ride with you from here. I held my breath all thinking you were in trouble. I’m happy that you were safe and that ride looked like being on icebergs instead of rocks.
Great review! I have 8k on my OT+ and absolutely love it! Haven’t had opportunity yet to take it off road but will be soon. I have the Nori with Onyx Roof and Chateau interior (Photo in my Profile). Really a head turner! A few things I’d like to see improved upon are larger gas tank, aux buttons and have the heated seats get a bit hotter. Also, the ambient lighting could be a tad brighter. But I’m nit-picking. Impressive work Bern, I’m subscribed!
V8's aren't going away due to MPG, they're going away due to emissions. This twin-turbo V6 is about the same MPG as the V8, but emissions are way down.
Going to test drive soon… heard the wind noise is horrible @ Hwy speeds wonder if the trunk is going to look like the LC with the battery lip on the hybrid - or did they “fix” it like they did in the new LX (sequoia)? And most importantly, do you love what it does for you?!?
Great video. I have a deposit down on a 25 earth overtrail. Dealer is saying hybrid a few years off still. You said months. Inside info? I would hold out for hybrid if so.
Thank you much! A few weeks-a month ago Lexus put out a press release about the new GX and LX hybrids! At least from my recollection, I read that it should come out after the new year sometime! They just want you to buy one now LOL
Oh I guarantee they do. I’ve asked around multiple places and no one had anything definitive. I’m hoping for MY25! We should be hearing from Lexus soon about MY25 changes.
Great review Bern! Nice offroad demo. I have been able to get up to 25 mpg driving very easy and 12 to 14 mpg towing a 7,000lb trailer in the mountains is easy.... plenty of power & handles well. Wish my GX550 had a 25 to 30 gallon tank.
😂 @6:29 I have a Volvo XC60 Polestar Engineered you car review if you plan to visit Northwest Florida. I have a V60-CC and may still have a XC60 3.0LT6 area I plan to give to my nephew once he get his learners.
@@williamgalicia6219 except the engine is a dudd with potential catastrophic failure that's so bad Toyota was forced to do a safety recall. Turbos are also not necessary.
@@imnotusingmyrealname4566 Gx has no recalls, no 24 model GX have recalls, plus the 24 GX us Built in the Land Cruiser plant in Japan, big difference bud... this SUV is rock solid and that V6 Turbo has been tested ups to a million miles by Toyota, the ones that had issues were assembly plant issues in other models, not an engine design issue. Toyota knows how to make a V6.. no worries here at all!

Great job sharing your experience with us, especially on the off-road portion. You put in some hard work here.
I appreciate that! Hard work paid off!!

Haha it was a blast! I'm glad you stayed along for the ride 😂
Unbelievable how silent it is, ascending and descending the rocks💯
It really is such a tank!!
Wow! Amazing video it makes me want to trade in my gx470 for a brand new overtrail. I’ll be happily in debt knowing you’ve tested its capabilities!
Yeah bro! We'll have to take a 470 to Flagpole! Blue is too nice though LOL
Fantastic video especially the off road. I can't wait to see some of your other videos.
I really appreciate that! Welcome aboard!!
Can’t wait!
Great video. Love my GX550 OT+
Thank you much! Very good to hear!
Wow great video. I’m looking at getting a 2025 Overtrail. Looks like it will do everything I need it to do.
Thank you! It sure met my expectations!!

Thank you! Ooouu, you have my dream GX haha. I agree with you! Thanks for hangin!
Thanks for this video. This exact model/color is my plan for early next year.
Good choice! I appreciate you watching. You'll love it!

Ahh yes that is true!

Nice! Yeah it's honestly pretty loud on the highway. I sadly guarantee the trunk will be compromised like the LC haha.
I LOVE IT!! 😆
i have a '99 lx490 and it can go up and down at the push of a button...i was hoping for that in this new one
Yeah right, thankfully at least since it doesn't have it it's one less thing to break haha
@ prob. right but its nice to have suv down towards road on highway and up high off road....more flexible
Ah a real 4x4. Refreshing
@@67keyakaren68 right!!

Good Luck, the 24 models are still in build phase.
@ no rush it’s a 3rd car. 25s should be starting production Jan
While you were on the trail. Did you air down your tires?
Nice review
Thank you! I didn't air down! Toyota/Lexus HQ doesn't want me to alter the truck's factory specs haha
Nice review. Very capable off road.
Thank you much! It was very impressive!

Thank you much!! Ohh wow very nice!! That's so cool, what a great ownership experience
I will wait for 2025 GX 550 Hybrid
Good call
Great work💯
Thank you much! 🙏🏾

I would most certainly love to! Hopefully I'll make my way down there soon!
@BernonCars save my name just let me know.
I get same mpg on my 97 Landcruiser 😂 but way slow 😎
LOLL smiles per gallon 🤣🤣
The GX hybrid will be the same as in the Land Cruiser so it will be less powerful than this one and likely be calld GX 500h.
Wrong
Ahhh interesting!
We could've easily had a 350 hp 4.6L V8 in this thing but we got this stupid V6. Not a fan of the new GX at all
It's a shame
It's called innovation , nothing wrong with a straight 6 twin turbo.

Too big , expensive & very boring to drive
GX just isn't for you
Thanks for dressing up!
Ha a sweater does wonders! 😂
No naturally aspirated engine = no purchase. Twin turbo trash.
It's a no no from me!
@@BernonCars You've reviewed enough vehicles... You know what's up.
