3rd Generation Lexus GX (GX 550, GX 550h) Megathread

[Levi]

No, it is not the car to beat. TMC BOFs and Land Rovers/Ranger Rovers are in parallel worlds. No crossing.

The GX continues to be talked about with a ton of excitement. Crazy to think this was a model on the chopping block a few years ago.

Tell us you saw the next gen GX without telling us.

I assume the TX was shown as well

Swinggate or liftgate?

Swinggate or liftgate?

Bring the split back powered of course. That would be awesome and more offroad focused.

I cant wait to see more info about GX and TX. Based on the RX design I will be buying both vehicles.

A lot of Lexus hoarders here...

Yes wink wink

All this secret talk about GX and TX is getting me even more exited.

Can we at least confirm that both vehicles are coming in 2023?

Maybe GX will debut late 2023 or 2024. TX I think will debut in 2024

I can sit here and imagine what I want, but the 3rd gen GX's [insert favorite word]gate is already a done deal. I do wonder if Lexus will do more (pains me to say this) "LRD" versions.

The LC300 has a diverse variety of trim levels and while they had their weird caveats (why are rear lockers only available on the GR) I'm wondering whether that will be something that the GX product planners will bring to the table for their customers who are more "weekend offroady". Its been their new strategy to appeal to more price points in every model launch thus far.

I also do wonder if @ssun30 predictions on a 500h powertrain being brought upto the 550. Interesting to say the least.

I doubt the GX will get a 4 cylinder. Plus there are no GX500H trademark to my knowledge, only GX550.

I’m sure It will be TTV6

Yea, but what's confusing to me is everyone is assuming it'll be the 348hp tune in the base tundra, but the naming doesn't make sense. How will GX550 have 348hp and 405lb-ft but the LS500 has 416hp and 442lb-ft. It makes me wonder.
