^agree completely. Also been reading some of the reviews this morning and they are universally, incredibly positive!

This industry ricocheting from "EV everything" to "nobody wants EVs" is almost surreal to watch. I can't imagine some of the decisions brands are having to make right now after hundreds of millions or billions invested in near term EV projects.

I don't think I've ever heard someone say torque is an awful indicator of performance with trucks and utility vehicles... it is the opposite. 465lb-ft with a turbo and batteries should be a pretty serious kick in the ass off the line or when passing, especially with 8 gears. I wouldn't be...

Many of these reviews mention power being "adequate" or "enough" or even a little underwhelming. I think all of the turbocharged Dynamic Force powerplants have gotten similar feedback, except for maybe the RX/TX 500h with 366hp. I was hoping the truck/SUV tune of the 2.4T + hybrid was going to...

This was posted in one of the GX 550 groups but… GX is huge! We knew that based on specs but seeing it next to the LX makes it feel real.

I absolutely love the fabric seats in the 1958 - they give me major J80 nostalgia!

GX 550?

@RAL we had a green one just like that in my family. I remember it well! Here are a few of mine - I've had a 1999 SR5 Sport 4x4, 2006 SR5 4x4, 2016 Limited 4x4, and 2019 Limited 4x4, though my parents have owned almost every year or every other year because all they drive are 4Runners :)

I recall seeing somewhere that the Limited trim made up 15-20% of the build allocations, but that could have been regional - I am not 100% sure. If that's true, it's 22-25k 4Runner Limiteds a year at recent sales volumes. I have a hunch there are some things about the new interior that might...

If the GX’s V35A tune ends up better than the LX or LS, I could definitely be swayed in that direction 👀

I think it looks great - very 4Runner, but also very futuristic and tough. The 4.0L V6 with 5AT is such a dog that even the standard 2.4T with 8AT is going to feel like a sports car in comparison. Some 4th gen Tacoma owners are reporting low- to mid-20s in mixed driving which is pretty...

Built at Tahara!!

I think this would be my choice: Land Cruiser in "Land Cruiser" trim with Underground exterior and Java leather interior (so that means you have to get the Premium Package). I'm a sucker for brown leather.

These three hit the market so closely together and with much shared between them, so I'm curious which you'd choose to buy with your own money. No doubt they will all be closely cross shopped too, but which would you choose? GX 550: 3.4L TT V6 with 349hp, 479lb-ft via a 10AT GX 550h: 2.4L T I4...

I am betting this starts around $43-44k for the SR5 4x2 and then stretches up into the high-60s for Trailhunter, TRD PRO. etc. Seems about right for where the market is right now, and the Land Cruiser being positioned above it.

Looks nice - a few weird lines that might look better in person or higher res pics. Kind of a bummer about the reduction in approach and departure angles, but maybe they figure people who really care will move up to the Land Cruiser (are they better on the LC?)? Engines are exactly as we...

Not sure if it's their intention, but this car has zero hype. Maybe the opposite of the LFA, which was teased in plain light for so many years before the official release?

Interesting review. Looking at it slightly differently from an owner/real world buyer perspective... With these two vehicles it's silly to not mention reliability and durability. Maybe some folks don't care, but GX buyers generally do and the Defender's reliability record has been positively...
