- This is a Motormouth couple car comparison of the all-new 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander Versus the all-new 2024 Lexus TX 3-row, large SUV.
The TX and the Grand Highlander are based on the same platform and offer great space in the 3-row SUV category. The burning question is, is the TX worth the premium over the Grand Highlander? Let’s get into it….
The TX and Grand Highlander offer three powertrain options. Both share the same gas and Hybrid Max powertrain but one is tuned for premium fuel and the other for regular fuel.
The gas models have a 2.4L turbocharged 4-cylinder with an 8-speed automatic transmission. The TX has 275 horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque, that’s an extra 10 horsepower and 7 lb-ft of torque more than the Grand Highlander.
The TX 500h and the Grand Highlander Hybrid Max have a 2.4L turbocharged hybrid powertrain with a 6-speed automatic transmission. The TX has 366 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque, Thant’s an extra 4 horsepower and 6 lb-ft of torque more than the Grand Highlander.
Where they differ is in the next powertrain. The Grand Highlander has another hybrid available with less power but excellent fuel economy. A 2.5L 4-cylinder hybrid matched to an ECVT, a combined 243 horsepower.
The TX gets a PHEV, it’s a 3.5L V6 plug-in hybrid powertrain, it’s matched to a CVT and has a combined 404 horsepower. It has an EV range of 53 km/33 miles.
We feel the best comparison is between the Grand Highlander Hybrid Max and the TX 350 or the TX F Sport 500h. We’ll be breaking down those models in our comparison.
The Grand Highlander Hybrid Max interior competes well with the TX. The Grand Highlander gas and 2.5L Hybrid models offer more of a Toyota grade interior and the price reflects that.
There are some interior differences between the Grand Highlander Hybrid Max and the TX. First off, the Grand Highlander is a 7-8 passenger vehicle, the TX 6-7 passengers. The TX Hybrid Max F Sport models only allow for 6-passengers, the Grand Highlander Hybrid Max 7 because the third row in the Grand Highlander has three seats, the TX only two.
The screen sizes are different as well, the Grand Highlander Hybrid Max has dual 12.3” screens and the TX has a 14” touchscreen, a standard 7” driver display, available 12.3”.
Both have wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto as standard features and they come with many of the same available features. There are some exceptions where the TX has more like the Lexus has a power folding third row, the Grand Highlander Hybrid Max is manual. The Toyota Hybrid Max has an 11-speaker JBL Sound system, the TX an available 21-speaker Mark Levinson system, a standard 12-speaker audio system. Both
The TX and Grand Highlander Hybrid Max have a 10-way power driver’s seat, the TX gets a 10-way power passenger seat, the Grand Highlander 8-way. The TX also has 4-way driver seat lumbar support. Advanced Park is also a feature the TX gets, the Hybrid Max Grand Highlander does not.

Great review. I've been going back and forth on these two. Now I'm more undecided than ever.
So glad to see another episode of versus!!
Finally reviewers who are actually practical compared to those who get star struck by lexus badging.
They leave off from one of the big plusses for Lexus, which is the quieter ride.
With two kids under the age of 5 that’s a non issue.
Thank you so much for making this comparison video GUYS
Great comparison. Loving my Grand Highlander. Keep up the great work.
Amazing comparison! You always do such a great job analyzing what the manufacturer is trying to sell us, but you have no axe to grind. Lexus did pretty much do a badge job on the GH, but they did it well. I was skeptical when I first saw the TX, but you've really looked at the TX from all angles.
Terrific review! Thank-you.
7:03 - 8:25 - VERY GOOD commentary here. Exactly!! Thank you! 👏
Great video guys. I'm looking forward to the GX550 vs Defender 110 comparison!
This is the best channel it’s exactly what we wanted to hear.
I think Toyota has a home run on their hands
Toyota yes but Lexus no as it looks cheap compared to Toyota counterpart.
Lexus came out with a minivan
@@Jeez001Lexus is still Toyota.
@@jneptune1540And?
@@pacman1789 and what?
I agree with you Zack on seats. Give 7 and 8 seats on all trims. Let me choose.
Agree…should have seating for 8. Let customer decide if they want to carry 6, 7 or 8 passengers.
I was about to place a deposit for the TX 500H in Port Moody Lexus but I end up not doing as they will offer only captain’s chair for the middle row. Until then, will need to look into other brands.
Th GH rear seat is only good for 3 kids if they are not in child seats. Therefore I think I would actually prefer two seats in the back but I'm definitely not willing to pay the extra for it
Grand Highlander with Hybrid Max already good enough for me. The only thing TX exceeds is that PHEV.
Not even close, the Lexus is far more plush, more comfortable, better fit and finish, nicer paint, far far far more quiet on the road.
I love you guys - I have been looking for a top trim 3-row (unibody) SUV with a 2nd row bench seat since 2018! And with the exception of a small handful of brands with poor reliability (I'm talking about you, Ford Explorer/Lincoln Aviator, Nissan Pathfinder/Infinity QX-??, & VW Atlas) I'm still searching. And now with these new "Plus Size" models, I'm still left out in the cold by Toyota/Lexus and the Korean twins (I'm not sure about the 2024 Traverse whether I can get my 2nd row bench or not, though I'm also not wild about Chevy reliability.) I think these companies need a new marketing team who listens to the likes of you and me 🙂
My daughter purchased the grand highlander Hybrid and the size is great for their 3 kids as they have the 8 passenger. If you have the funds to buy the Lexus and have 3 kids you wont be happy with no choice to get 8 passengers or even 7 passengers in the top model. Not many people haul around 6 adults, its all about the kids and room for their friends and the pets. I agree with your comments on seating in the Lexus. Great reviews as we used them for her purchase.
The PHEV has the bulletproof 3.5L engine. Wish that would have been available in the GH. But I bought the GH hybrid, which is fantastic. Have yet to wish it had more hp. Getting 34-40 mpg in everyday driving.
I really do wish they made it an 8 passenger. I hope they come out with it. That is a selling point for me personally.
Toyota, Sequoia, my brother
They do make The Grand Highlander in an 8 seater.
@@danwilson3538The Grand Highlander is actually about the same size if not a bit longer than the Sequoia.
Lexus GX might be an 8
Great video as always. Can you guys please help me and give good advice. We are playing to purchase either a grand Highlander hybrid limited or Lexus tx base awd. What do you think is the better long term 8-12 years vehicle thanks so much.
There's just not enough difference between the 500H and hybrid max to justify an $11,000 price gap. I would expect a much nicer interior and/or significantly more power for that much money. I just don't see a big difference in the interiors.
100%. I think im going with the Max Limited
Head scratcher for me, is the F Sport branding and what it offers.
- 2pc rotors, 6 pot calipers (nice!)
- Adaptive suspension, cool!
- rear wheel steering, ok! Sounds like this is going to be a performance oriented vehicle! Until:
- No exposed exhaust
- Black rims, roof rails, calipers, but not badges
- basically same motor from GH?!
Then why the “performance” setup for, no performance difference?
The TX is off my list because I need the 8 seats. So is either the pilot or the grand highlander for me. I’m actually Leaning toward the pilot because I like the removable middle seat in the 2nd row
Be advised the Pilot has a timing belt, and a GDI engine with rotors that are prone to wrap and need replaced between 30 and 40 thousand. Received this info from a certified Honda mechanic. So Engine interval cleaning and timing belt replacement will need to be add to your cost of maintaining the SUV.
Pilots 3rd also felt cramped
When you find out the actual Gass mileage is around 20, I'll never look at them again
@@afzalshaikh2128might as well get a minivan over the pilot if you need that extra row
The middle 3rd row seat in the Pilot is extremely small. It will not comfortably fit 8 people.
I was hoping for an 8 passenger plug in hybrid, at least a bench option so I could keep the third folded for the dogs
I so agree with the missed opportunity of the tx going 2 person third row. I also hate that the grand highlander max doesn't option the second row bench in thier highest trim.
When all the family is going out... Yukon XL Denali diesel 😊. I know it's not fuel efficient but it's marvelous!!!
SAME CAR! I love my Grand Highlander
The design of the Toyota Grand High Lander is better than the new Lexus. The design of the Toyota would be far a good design of Lexus and in this case the Lexus is a normal design of Toyota. 😊in my opinion.
Thanks for share 🙏🏼, beautiful cars and of course excellent charisma of the presenters, always nice job🏆👏🏻👏🏽👏🏼👏🏾👏🏿👏💐💐
What was the cabin noise and wind noise comparison?
I think Lexus buyers are happy with a roomy 6 passenger. I believe Lexus knows it’s customer and for people looking to pack 7-8 passengers, the Grand H. and Sienna are the choices for a true family hauler.
Bro it’s our money Lexus should leasing .
not us we have to change .
Stop obeying like a sheep
What stupid defence on Lexus (Lexus knows it’s customer) of course they know there is some sheep will fallow .
I think you guys absolutely hit the mark with this review. I don't know why Toyota/Lexus overcomplicates things with their designs and configurations. All we want is a simple AWD, V6 with a 2nd row bench seat that can seat 7-8 passengers with a fold-flat cargo space. The Sequoia would have fit the bill nicely but Toyota screwed the pooch with the ridiculous cargo space design. You can't get AWD in the Grand Highlander unless you upgrade to the Hybrid MAX, which only offers captain's chairs. Moving up to the Lexus TX, the only V6 option only offers 6-passenger and captain's chairs. It's like Toyota is playing these "mind games" with customers. Gets overly frustrating for someone like us who just wants a simple configuration. Honda/Acura are so much simpler with their Pilot/MDX so we will be looking at that option. Lastly, I agree with some of your viewers that the grill on the TX is just plain ugly. The grill needs to be chrome or black. Grills that are the same color as the body simply does not work.
Um, just want to clarify, you can put regular gas in any of these cars but do not do this regularly. They both need premium fuel as both have turbos and direct along with port injection. The entire point of having port injection is to get sure the intake ports and valves remain uncontaminated by the recirculating gases from the crankcase. Unless you install a catch can or delete the recirculating system, you need to use premium fuel.
Lexus 🔥
Highlander 🔥
We just bought my husband a Lexus RX 350h. We were debating between that or the Toyota Highlander hybrid. In the end we went with Lexus because they have greater inventory and sell below MSRP with dealership discounts. In the US, Toyotas are really hard to come by and sell between 5-10k over MSRP. So if I had to choose between a Lexus TX500h or a Toyota Grand Highlander 500h, I'd go with Lexus because I might get a dealership discount and it may end up being equal or cheaper than the Toyota equivalent. It's pretty crazy.
Car Insurance will be higher.
Bought my wife a 2024 NX350h as well a few months ago. Really liked the RX350h but I wasn’t keen on working a $63k check. Bought the NX hybrid at $52k cash OTD. We also test drive the Venza Limited at MSRP, but for a few $k more the NX Hybrid is a no brainer.
Not having the option in the higher trims for bench seating for 8 passengers is really confusing for me. I actually bought a platinum highlander last year and didn't notice it had bucket seats until I was about to drive off and turned right back around and gave the car back. This is a huge selling point for me and I know they offer the bench seating in the limited addition on the grand highlander as well as the mid trim in the Lexus, but I wanted the top trim. Can someone please tell them they would sell more cars by offering this one little option? Makes absolutely no sense to me.
For me the two things that make the Grand Highlander more appealing is its available high mileage hybrid and the fact that it has a three place backseat which for my family means being able to put one in the back and have a bigger cargo area for road trips since you can fold 2/3rd of the seat rather than half.
I like both of them ❤🔥👍
Like you said, nobody will notice the 4 to 10 extra horsepower. It’s a tough choice…..if I were shopping for both.
I think if you are looking for a family hauler, does it need to be a luxury brand ?
For the people with more money than sense lol 😂
@@garydomaz1849 Lexus has a much better costumer service than Toyota.
Just saw a Toyota Canada ad for the Grande Highlander. 64 month lease at 8.5 % APR. 😲😲 Sign me up 😂
Lease? Cash all day every day.
For me, the only difference then is extra premium feel of the cabin, including cabin noise/sound deafening and if I want to say I drive a Lexus over a Toyota.
Those matter. The Lexus is more refined. Plus the dealer experience is much better with Lexus.
The jbl system isn't as good as the mark Levinson system either
Yep, Lexus all day every day. 3 in my household and I will gladly paid a little more on Lexuses.
Interesting. The hybrid packages don't really get much better MPG than the gasoline version. And the gasoline version will probably last 50 to 100,000 mi more with good maintenance then the hybrid when the battery fails at between 150 and 200,000 miles.
When did Lexus delete the analog clock?
Love both 1st choice is LExus
Another great review, thanks.
I have a 2011 Lexus RX350 and have been interested to get a new Lexus for sometime. However with higher MSRP than a few years ago, dealers adding fees, super high interest rates, long wait times, looming recession, etc. I have been in waiting mode and have been maintaining my car instead. Am I the only person who thinks this is not a good time to get a new car? Thank you for your feedback.
But when will be a good time?
Ditto! Things will adjust, but probably not for another 1-2 years (guesstimate, as I have no crystal ball, LOL 🙂You are doing the right thing maintaining your current vehicle for now. Too much with interest rates, wait times, added fees etc. It's really never a good time to buy a new car, with the exception if you NEED one:-) I'm with you, in wait mode.
Well if you have the cash in full it is a good time to buy. Most Lexuses are selling at MSRP now with no add ons. Just bought my wife a 2024 NX hybrid at MSRP and no add ons. I paid cash in full so no high interest to deal with.
if you want more premium and a Lexus badge on the Car ? yes it´s worth the more money.
Is the Fsport performance tuning really that noticable when compared to Hybrid Max in sport mode?
Also don't forget with TX you need to purchase 3 of the 4 available packages (that's another $4k) to get the same features that come standard with the Platinum trim GH. I reckon for most folks the GH HM will be the better deal compared to the 550h unless they really want the Lexus badge or don't care about pricing.
The F Sport models performance is pretty sweet, there is a difference between the Grand Highlander Hybrid Max and the F Sport.
To play devil’s advocate, the only thing I can think of for 2 vs 3 3rd row would be the undulating seat shape and the seat belt configuration making it annoying for 2 adults. You have the same room but ultimately you’ll sit where the seat belt allows
They should offer a bench seat option on the 2 row. Better yet, do it like Honda where the middle seat in the 2 row is removable
For me, 6 seats, which is the only option for the plug-in, completely defeats the purpose of buying a vehicle this size.
There's a lot to take in. I'll have to have another watch.
TX power train choices vs trim choices are severely lacking. The only way to get the hybrid powertrain is to go with F Sport trim!
Yes, it would be nice to see Lexus offer the Hybrid without the F-Sport packaging plus it's only a 6-passenger vehicle, so it may not work for all families who want to haul more people.
Living out west we can't go full EV yet. We really like the look and interior of the Telluride but a condition of getting rid of the minivan is fuel efficiency. Grand Highlander hybrid limited it is.
I want to see this go against the CX90
Sequoia vs TX Lex vs LX 600 which is more spacious
Great video - I think for price, Toyota has the win. Love Lexus - but doesn’t seem worth the up charge in this case. IMO.
The over long front over hang on the TX is the worst part of the styling IMO.
Can you please tell me if the TX is significantly quieter than the grand Highlander? Will I notice any difference in cabin noise? How about body roll? Thanks much.
Lexus TX has a body roll that is noticeable
In my POV this Lexus model's grill looks fine, and I can understand whereby Lexus has their version of an Aerodynamic front. 😎
If I am buying a car with 3 rows I want 7-8 passenger seats, if you can squeeze in a 9th one even better lol. I don't care if you tie him up on the roof as long as it's legal.
Most of Lexus' sales are just gussied up Toyotas; RX, NX, ES. But in those cases, they do a good job differentiating the Lexus from the Toyota. Not so much with this thing. I certainly wouldn't pay the premium over the GH.
while there may be some demand for an 8 seater version, the business case may not be there. on a related note, there may not be enough production capacity to make an 8 seater version as well. product planners try to optimize the maximum amount of profit out of existing or planned production capacity … the product mix at launch is their best guess estimate of what is going to provide the biggest return to shareholders. The wants of what is probably a relatively small subset of buyers looking for maximum seating capacity are of lesser importance.
Interesting to know both are so similar but only thing I like is TX’s dashboard design better. Great show Andrea! 👍🏻☕️☕️
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@andreaspencer9813 I am enjoying it very much to see compared one vehicle to another.
I got my GH limited Vehicle last week. I like the vehicle. Two issues are it doesn’t have Driver easy speak and second while on Bluetooth call the other end caller cannot hear passenger side person voice. This model comes with microphone on driver and passenger side. But not working, anybody has this issue? Dealer saying microphone on driver side only picks sound, what kind of nonsense. Then what is the point of microphone at passenger side. Any input from any GH owners?
Trying to find moms new ride, she has had a couple lexus models before but rhid thing has a face only a mother could love. I think this thing might be a hard sell over the grand highlander.
I appreciate this review and perspective. It validates my thoughts on the difference between the GH and the TX. I own a gas model GH, and it's great. I don't think it's worth the price premium for the TX. I was really looking forward to the TX, but this first generation just isn't good enough. We'll see what the next gen TX is going to look like.
I feel the issue for Lexus is that Toyota has produced a fantastic vehicle with the Grand Highlander Hybrid Max. Unless the badge is very important to you, the Hybrid Max is a great choice. Glad you are enjoying your gas model GH.
@@andreaspencer9813 I agree with your assessment! It's hard to find a hybrid max in Texas without a massive "market adjustment," but I'm happy with my purchase. I was really lucky; I found the car through Car Edge and drove to the dealership to find a hybrid and the gas model. The hybrid was already sold, but the one platinum gas model was available. We negotiated pretty hard to avoid paying dealer add-ons and market adjustments. We're happy with it, but I need more fuel efficiency! I went from a Tesla model y to a Grand Highlander. 😂 it's a jarring difference.
I’m not sure if you can use 87 octane gasoline in TX without hurting the engine. I talked to JM Lexus dealer about it and they said that engine was built for 91 gasoline.
Lexus told us that premium fuel is required but if you choose to use regular, it won't hurt the engine in the short term but possibly long term it could. As well you won't get the horsepower, torque or fuel economy numbers if you don't use premium fuel.
Octane is octane. There is no chemical difference between 87 and 91. 91 just has some additives to increase or decrease the detonation temp of the fuel. The onboard computer decides what's acceptable based on programming which affects the Knock sensors.
You used the same argument on the Mazda cx 90 about seating. The Lexus is horrendous in looks and does look like a shoe box van for being on the same platform.
Are these the Japanese version of the Korean twins Palisade and Telluride
No. Toyota and Lexus is mainstream to premium. Palisade and Telluride are both high-level mainstream. It would be more like Hyundai Palisade to Genesis GV80, but that's not a direct comparison.
Toyota and Lexus both are really making you bend over and spread em wide if you want a trailer hitch. Also the GH has that light gray and portobello interior for the hot climate areas so you don’t burn your buns after giving up to get a trailer hitch…!
What is lexus thinking?
Andrea_motormouth
I know very well that the Lexus TX 350 is based on the Toyota Grand Highlander.
↕️
The Lexus TX 350 and 500h are already built on a very very stable and strong foundation for these SUV'S are built on the Toyota Grand Highlander.
the MPG for the Highway is really not very impressive, this can do the European brands better.
The TX is the only one that offers a plug in hybrid which allows you to go full ev for city driving which is what most buyers will do
And a V6. Just gotta see how much it’ll cost, I’m hearing 80k.
@@davidd7175 I‘be decided to pass on the plugin as there’s no massaging chairs, no panoramic sunroof, only seats 6, and no blacked out chrome
Same..when I heard a TX phev was coming out, thought maybe it’d be the one. But after hearing the specs, somewhat lame V6, and potential msrp, no thanks. Surprised GH didn’t get a phev.
Fine vehicle. Will be limited only by production capacity and high price.
Had a chance to see a Grand Highlander in person last week. XLE trim. The hard plastics everywhere was a no go for me. The dash, upper/mid/lower door trims. It is not acceptable at this point. Toyota should take a lesson from Mazda. Even the cheapest Mazda vehicles have soft touch materials around the upper door panels.
The grand Highlander and Tx are both MUCH bigger than a qx60 or MDX. Its kinda confusing bc both the Highlander and TX are “bigger” than the Sequoia and LX respectfully. That makes these unique in the class. A more fair comparison to qx60 and Mdx are the regular highlander and RX which have similar interior spaces. These both don’t really have a comparable model as they are “Full Size” SUVs and sit between a body on frame truck Large SUV and a 7 passenger midsize SUV.
I bought the grandhighlander xle awd more then i need!!!
As great as the Grand Highlander and TX are, I'd still lean towards the Sienna. Up to 8 passenger seating in the Sienna with AWD availability, and equipment wise there isn't anything in the GH that I'm really missing out on in the Sienna. The Sienna is also cheaper at the top trim and can haul more cargo with its well behind the third row when in 7/8 passenger form. It just seems illogical to opt for the Grand Highlander when the Sienna can do everything somebody could ask for in most driving situations and at a cheaper price point and offer more cargo and passenger room. 🤷♀️
The whole point of a 3rd row SUV is your trying to not look like a minivan.
just like people buy luxury cars because of the look and whether we like it or not, automobiles are status symbols and people preferrence, and lots of people just do not like the Minivan look, otherwise if look and badge do not matter then no one would buy a cadillac, suburban, merc, bmw etc etc...everyone would be riding in vand
I'd spring for the sienna if it was offered with a bit more power + modern driver assistance tech. Both things you can get in the SUV that Toyota refuses to offer in the minivan.
@@ExpertTH-camCommentatorexactly. If everyone buy things based on practicality, there will be no sport cars, no luxury watches, handbags, restaurants, concerts, basketball games, movies. It is ok to spend money if you can afford it.
It's very simple. If you have the money, buy the Lexus for more luxury, refinement, and brand name. If not, get the Toyota and be practical. Another factor will be the interior/exterior design. In this case, I like the Grand Highlander exterior and TX for the interior.
10:08 is this a way to ignore the embargo? Lol
Lexus TX is only for Show Off and many people will do that (if PHEV was not that expensive). I know at least 5 people driving Lexus GX just for their daily commute on urban roads to show off.
0:20 “Require” or “Recommend”? If it requires 91 Octane fuel, I think it is best to use it during warranty 😆
It requires premium fuel but if you use regular it will not hurt the engine short-term, long term it could. However, you will not get the horsepower and torque numbers or fuel economy numbers if you use regular
In Canada, you need to wait for 12 months to get a Hybrid Max. So, ... F That!
The TX reminds me of the predator from aliens vs predator
I’ve never needed 8 passenger seating.
I hate car manufacturers who have no bench seat option in their higher trims and offer only bench seats. What if someone wants bench seat and also extra features over a base trim.
Where are they made? Same factory?
yes
Indiana, USA
Princeton, Ind. For the Lexus...
Comparing the low end lexus to highest grand highlander? LOL i test drove both and have a TX500H in my garage now 😂
The TX grill looks like the Highlander circa 2019 or earlier. The "blades" highlander.
TOYOTA is better. I got the Grand Highlander Standard Hybrid Limited. This is the one to get:
- it has a TRAIL mode
- seats up to 8
- Regular Unleaded
- 34 - 36 MPG HYBRID
- Nearly 600 mile range
- no turbo means more reliability
- No starter, no alternator, no drive belt , no plugs just gas
It has a sport mode and 0-60 is 7.8 secs.
Most are not trying to race. It's for trips and passengers without looking like a soccer mom.
What color did you get bryana? sounds like what you said is true. this seems to be the best model. you get more bang for your buck.
I think instead of the TX, they should have given us the Lexus LM.
No way a minivan is selling as well as an "SUV."
That would have been a dream come true
The LM is for Asia market where the road are smaller and it is predominantly driven by chauffeurs for business use. NA customers will not buy them.
I don’t see any logical reason why the TX would even consider becoming an 8-passenger. Its ‘somewhat’ in a different market category. A growing family might need space (who really has 6 ‘extra’ rear passengers anyway… or anymore). If you need the space, get Toyota’s amazing minivan. They are the best in that category. But between the Grand Highlander versus the TX? I’d go for a base Lexus TX over the G.H. Platinum. Reasons being Lexus build quality and materials (better), badge (entry luxury vs. the more pedestrian Toyota), dealership experience (including an extra free year of warranty) and resale value. But that my somewhat biased (but still logical) opinion. I just might suggest maybe to spring for the first trim level that provides that Mark Levinson Reference Sound System… you will not be disappointed. Thanks for the video.
It always bothers me why would they make such a big vehicle for family and make it 6 seats. At least, more seats should be optional if someone asks for it.
Does TX require premium fuel?
Yes it does
Sorry just saw you said that right at the beginning 😂, my phone was muted when I started the video the first time
@@boydsorem7706 No problem
@@andreaspencer9813 I noticed you said you can put regular fuel on the TX, and that it won't hurt the engine. Is this from a Lexus source? or just assumption because they share the same engine as GH?
@melvinjrbaldonado7721 Lexus prefers premium fuel to get the power numbers and fuel economy. But Lexus did say you won't hurt the engine if you use regular. I would go with premium myself if that is what the manufacturer recommends.
Will this Lexus TX be as easy to steal as other models?
Premium fuel for a measly 10 hp is a joke.
Both are big disappointments to me. All I ask for is a 3 row SUV, with realistic hybrid mileage and a dark brown interior... The Toyota MAX only gets 26 MPG (so no hybrid mileage) and is the only model that offers the Portobello interior. The TX has a nice Peppercorn interior, but no hybrid offers it. In my view, offering only a black or grey interior takes them out of the luxury car category and puts them with the KIA/Hyundai class vehicle.
Unrealistic expectations. Give me a 3 row SUV with the same power and torque as the max that gets better MPG.
@@tgc6744exactly. People always demand unrealistic expectations. I want a three row SUV like a size if a Suburban, get 50MPG, cost $30k and drives itself. If I can find one like that I will buy 3 in cash.
I hear you Lexus but I'm not a fan of the six-seater. Coulda made it seven easily. grande highlander all the way
All models of GH and TX should have an optional BENCH seat, 5 people with cargo, efficiency and power is not an option.
With many problems no bumper,fuel injectors ar on head gasket cover.😂😂😂
I would really have liked to get the tx! Buy it's just too ugly with this version.
Great review, very helpful.
Just make Canadians aware of (9 to 13 months of waiting) for Toyota / Lexus if u order one today
