I am actually surprised to see the GX use more steel than the LX.

Unequivocally, the LX/equivalent is Toyota's chosen one (carry on)
Anyone know the deal with the new suspension? It looks like KDSS as we know it is gone. I know the LX600 only gets a rear sway bar on some trims (F Sport?) but not sure if they have some other fancy system to replace the function of KDSS or just different shocks/springs/geometry make it obsolete.

The GR sport LC300 has E-KDSS and now so does the OVERTRAIL? GX.
LX has AHC and some versions don't but no LX has E-KDSS.
These are awesome finds! Would you have them for the 200-series? Wondering how much of an evolution these are.
Check out this video.
Thanks for sharing all of this @Brown98LC! Very insightful.
@TeCKis300 I too would like to see the 200 series included in the comparison.

It's not.
I am leaning towards that it is an LC300 GX trim in disguise with all the shots shared above of the chasis and the body dimensions/wheelbase below.

Price & Power: The Redesigned Lexus GX Is A Different Beast
The new Lexus GX 550 price remains under six figures, and despite losing the V8, it produces more power than ever—release date: early 2024.

This adds the 460 dims.

As long as the “better” 300 Series chassis and drive train bits can bolt up, with minimal fuss, things will be ok. Of course, the front locker topping that list.
The entire point of the TNGA system is for complete modularity in the design and manufacturing processes for all Toyota vehicles.
The fact that the GA-F platform underpins every BOF vehicle supports the eventual move to fully AI/roboticized design and manufacture.
The system will then merely need inputs (design parameters) for fully-customizable outputs (widgets/vehicles). Toyota has no choice but to do this if they intend to remain relevant and profitable.
The wild card is the 7x series: it’s still pretty much a hand-made vehicle in critical manufacturing processes: body weld and frame weld. If they can pull the human out of the loop for the 7x series, the GA-F will then become ubiquitous across all BOF vehicles.
But still, no BOF released by Toyota has a SFA. The 7x is the last SFA vehicle that Toyota has and will be, most likely, the last one that combines the designs and manufacturing processes already developed for the TNGA.
Reminder: the LC is merely conceptually designed with design parameters and budgetary goals writ large by Toyota and “commanded” by a Toyota CE; the LC really is an outsourced product with all final engineering design of components, parts, manufacturing, and assembly by Toyota Auto Body (Toyota itself hasn’t fully designed and built a Land Cruiser since the 1970’s).
The entire theory of “black box” OEM outsourcing to trusted suppliers is what the LC is based.
