LX700h Overtrail - First Wheeling Impressions (5 Viewers)

[Canyonero]

I know this is for the AU and not a 700OT, but this is probably the best review of an Overtrail I have seen. This dude sends it in that last hill/crest that looks genuinely gnarly. Trust me, by now I have probably watched an unhealthy number of 700OT reviews in YT. I would argue I have seen them all, except for the ones made by mommies that will take their kids to soccer practice (don't even know why you would make such a review for an OT anyway).

Definitely one of the better real world tests. Still, he stacks rocks (weak, but I get that it's not his rig) and makes it up without any drama.

That hill climb is similar (but considerably less technical) than the hard line at a popular trail out here in the Denver area, Slaughterhouse Gulch. The capability of the 700 OT is impressive, no doubt. The chin will get scraped on the harder stuff, but it's just plastic.

The factory tires are like 32.6", and adding true 35s is a game changer in terms of capability.

Yep. It is also great to see some sort of comparison with the LC300 GR sport - what we actually should have gotten here Stateside. I promised I wouldn't rant anymore

Nobody would have bought the GR Sport 300 Series. It would cost $90k+, so I understand why Toyota did what they did.

A “Land Cruiser” 250 for more like $60k-$70k has proven to be a good strategy for Toyota, even though it waters down the Land Cruiser brand.

The Lexus LX is a decent Lexus product, outside of being a true off roader, and they know their Lexus demographic values the experience with Lexus enough to drop more money.

I refer to my rig as “The Land Cruiser” all the time and it confuses people, so that’s annoying. I’m like, it’s the only actual Land Cruiser you can buy in the states, and then it’s a whole conversation

It'll prob more close to $100k, since the top end Sequoia is nearing $90k. It doesn't really make sense to have the 300 here just to satisfy the IYKYK crowd.

With that said, when someone ask me what i drive, i tell them i drive a Toyota hybrid
