Owning both an OT+ and a 1958, I can tell you they are two completely different vehicles in every way, except for body shape.
Drive them both, and decide from there.
GX more solid, quieter, feels way more firm and substantial. Feels like...
Here is how I think of it. It’s not a hybrid, at least how you are thinking of it. It’s a gas engine with an electric motor for some extra torque and HP. Helps with responsiveness, etc. But its not a hybrid, like a Prius or something.
1. The 6 is definitely more powerful and smooth and feels so much more appropriate for the size and weight of each. I do like the straightforwardness of the total package on the 1958 setup with the 4, and like that there’s enough difference to...
I did the same tires day after i bought it. Seems we have same experience all around. More concerned about the hybrid seeming to not work often enough to justify its complex presence.
1100 miles on the new 1958, and I’ve noticed a couple things related to the hybrid that surprise me:
1.) when pressing power, the gas engine comes on first and if i sit in park about 30 seconds it will go into hybrid mode. My wife’s 2025 Lexus...
I tend to agree with your entire post. I owned a 1997 80 series and loved it. I have a 250 FE. This is better unless you are making it a designated off road rig. Even then, I doubt an equally built 250 wouldn't be able to keep up with an 80...
New member here, so I just wanted to introduce myself and share some thoughts as a new LC250 owner. I’ve spent most of my life in 4Runners (1997, 2001, 2007, and 2017), and while I’ve always admired Land Cruisers, this is the first one I’ve...
I have the Carista plug-in device to override many of the standard settings and turned off many of the beeps and warnings that constantly are going off. Should be able to tweak those settings for towing as well.
Dumped the Rivian R1S for a 2025 1958.
275/70/R18 K03’s and 1” Spidertrax wheel spacers on stock wheels and no lift.
The 2024 GX OT+ is happy to have a little brother.
Honestly, I’m digging the stripped down nature of this thing. It’s a...
After losing my beloved low miles 2015 200 series to a hail storm back in March, I’ve spent the last 4 months searching for a low miles replacement 2013-2020 200 or LX to no avail.
I’ve had my 2024 GX550 + since November and really enjoy it but...
