Until it comes to the US I'm forcing myself not to care or to read any more about it or watch any videos... just sets me up for disappointment!

LCDC in Kazakhstan next year?
That's a helluva roadtrip
Looking forward to see what Lexus does with it. I will be in the market by the time it arrives.

I have snorkel. Should be fine.
That TLC 200 series has AHC. Probably why it did so well in those tests.

And a smaller engine for why it did poorly...honestly not feeling like I'm missing much...quieter crawl I guess would be nice, and my LX already has 4 zone climate
don't like the idea of a more cramped cockpit at all.

Really, it’s just the first water crossing that’s the challenge.

Pretty sure my massive 34" tires will provide plenty of buoyancy necessary for a saltwater passage. They are Ridge Grapplers after all... and with the low weight of the Rock Warriors... not even a challenge. In fact, pretty sure the bud built full skids will make a pretty effective hull so probably won't even need to fill the aux tank. Just let that beefy 5.7 Liter's exhaust push me across like a jet boat.

Nah, I think the sliders will help you cut through the water far more easily....I'm sure in a similar (but different situation) if you were going off a cliff they'd act like wings.

Thats why I went with the angled sliders from bud built... The 300 got nothin on me.
Agreed.. Plus better tires on the 300 for the tests..And a smaller engine for why it did poorly...honestly not feeling like I'm missing much...quieter crawl I guess would be nice, and my LX already has 4 zone climate
Honestly, the tests were not challenging enough to show any improvement.
GR Sport or go home. The rest of the LC300 lineup does not have much improvement over LC200…it may have slightly better mechanicals…but the approach angle makes it worst than LC200…it has better articulation but if it cannot make it up rock ledge, then all that fancy stuff is for not. Now, the GR Sport…now that is da boss.

Factory triple locked GR-S is the only excitement to be had IMO.
But it’s still a hot turbo 6… you will never sell me on it being reliable like the past engines.
Does anyone overseas even own an LC without an ARB bumper or similar?GR Sport or go home.

You would be surprised, the most garish trims aren't even sold here and are super popular everywhere.
