    Looking forward to seeing this new Tundra on the rubicon in July 😉

    GX Objectively better than LX for off road.

    As someone who shopped the LX600 before buying a 2023 Navigator, I sometimes wonder what the LX experience would have been like. The navigator is bigger and more luxurious IMO, but it doesn’t “feel like a Lexus” either. I appreciate your account of ownership, hope you enjoy many more trouble...

    GX550 Reviews

    Crazy that a brand new Lexus was lemon law'd. We actually have had quite a few teething issues with ours as well - the dashboard was comming apart and from a stop (especially when cold) the transmission is very lurchy. Needless to say it's probably on the chopping block when my name gets...

    GX550 Reviews

    I have a '23 RX500h also - what happened to yours? Agree, it's a pretty good drivetrain between the electric motors and then the turbo spooling up. Not fast relative to an XM or something, but definitely not a snoozefest like an RX350. I'm excited to drive this 3.4 turbo motor that Toyota is...

    GX Objectively better than LX for off road.

    I’m not here to defend the Navigator, but I will say in at least my first 10,000 miles it has been awesome. I run Colorado mountain passes regularly, loaded, sometimes towing. 440hp twin turbo beef and no issues. Massaging seats and all sorts of luxury. Hell, I’ve used in in 4-lo many times on...

    GX Objectively better than LX for off road.

    The LX600 always felt like a swing and a miss to me. Lexus really didn't make it good at anything, and the double center screens look ridiculous. At the $100k price point, there are just a LOT of better options. The reliability argument falls apart at that price point - those buyers want...

    550 / 250 or an Inoes?

    @Adam R what does this mean Not sure what “posing” means here..

    550 / 250 or an Inoes?

    Disagree 100%. The market for 80 Series Land Cruisers is still pretty hot, specifically because they have a solid front axle. People are daily driving those without any issues or concerns. My last truck was an F250 diesel, solid front axle, it drove great. My G63, solid front axle, drove great...

    550 / 250 or an Inoes?

    Based on your stated use case of daily driving to soccer practice, etc., and your 5 mile proximity to the Ineos dealer, buying an Ineos seems like a fun decision. It could be an unreliable bucket of bolts, but if you have dealer support nearby and other vehicles to drive, go for it. My...

    Would you prefer a PHEV?

    Yes. I own a Prius Prime PHEV and a Wrangler Rubicon PHEV. Both are pretty incredible, and for the Jeep in particular, I use very little gas. Frankly, it’s wild to be driving a lifted Rubicon on 37s around town and never use gas. Most of my trips are sub 10 miles and I have a level 2 charger...

    Just curious, what's your OTHER vehicle?

    Not to derail this "what's your other vehicle" thread, but CVTs can be really great. For example, we have a new 2021 Sienna Hybrid AWD with a CVT. The thing is crazy efficient, reasonably powerful (can still tow 3500lbs), and at high speeds, it's a non-existent engine. Engine RPM is low even...

    Just curious, what's your OTHER vehicle?

    Ridgelines are badass, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Ego be damned, it's a brilliant vehicle.

    Triple Locked LX600 Offroad

    That’s what I’m hoping for. I will definitely buy one if I can get it with factory front and rear lockers. C’mon Toyota!

    Rubicon 2021...

    “Land Cruiser owner’s face before they realize it’s a Jeep Rubicon and it’s not going to scrape on any rocks or need rock stacking or multiple attempts.” 🤣
