I think it's the best looking SUV that is off road capable. No offense but you're high...or maybe it's the only "off road capable" choice 'cause that thing looks like Robo Cop and Optimus Prime had a cartoon baby. Hope you have white-framed Oakleys ready. Is there no love for suburbans or tahoes anymore?

Is the Lexus keeping the V8? Sadly no.....those V8s are bullet proof. My wife has one in her coupe. They went to the twin turbo V6 that gets one more MPG then the V8..... although the V6 has more HP and torque. My Sister has one (V8) in her LC 500 and that thing is a Rocket.

Wife and I don’t like the new look. Looks like a souped up Ford Edge. Wife says she will keep hers.

We hang on to our cars for a long time, and nothing compares to Toyota/Lexus in durability.

I think it's the best looking SUV that is off road capable. Off-road capable is laughable. The most off road that thing will see by 99% of its drivers is going from a fully paved road to a gravel/dirt road. The "Overtrail" one you refer to as off-road is $80k+. Nobody spending that much money on a city SUV wants it beat up going off-road.

Not throwing stones, but I just cant see buying something that nice for "off road". I prefer to have a capable beater and then a nice vehicle for work/customer trips. This works out well during hunting season when my chesapeake makes sure everything is hair and mud covered on interior.
BP, FWIW, the new tundra/sequoia turbo v6's aren't getting great reviews. The hybrid sequoia has less cargo space because they had to make room for the battery.

Just cuz you can't walk in high heels BigPig doesn't mean the rest of us can't...such a jealous person I like my GX and I like this one. Mine's a 16 and has 60k miles on it and I've owned it almost 2 years...I'll likely get tired of driving it and move to something else at some point in the next year. Just haven't seen anything that I'm willing to pay to get. I'd like a Bronco but they are stupid money for what they are and I've heard road noise complaints. Road noise, Dodge motors and the stupid wave will likely keep me out of another Jeep. That just about leaves a 4Runner TRD Pro or another GX

When we were looking at cars for the wife, well before Covid, the local Lexus dealer had a suburban-size Lexus in the show room. They'd had it lifted a little bit. At that time, the salesman kid said the dealership owner ordered a few every year. Now that thing was nice. 'Can't remember the model name. The wife said I should get it, but I'm just not the country club style duck/quail/etc. hunter.
