Dang, Lexus is wild for teasing GX and TX at the same time 😂

It's essentially a baby LX.

I’m really digging what I see so far. I’m a sucker for LED taillights that run all the way across, and I like how the hood/fender gap is on the side and flows into the headlight. Looks clean…kinda Land Rover esq.

It’ll be interesting to see if the GX continues to share its body with the Prado.

Wait for Toyota Prado

 

[Deusex]

Oh crap, please dont tell me both GX and TX will be released at the same time. I was planning to get them as soon as they are relesed. Now I will have to get them at same time.

No next gen separated spindle grille?

 

[GoHuskers]

I love the way Lexus hides the rear wiper blade UNDER the spoiler but it's SOL now.

 

[Brandon B]

No barn door any more.

Hope it keeps the vertical tail lights, makes it more of a truck than a crossover.

This looks awesome. The wide fendors and flat, vertical windshield are giving me LR Defenders vibes which I'm all for

The wide fender looks really aggressive. Haven't seen it on any Toyota/Lexus SUVs/Trucks?

Can't comment on the exterior until we see the front and rear bumpers. Hopefully users don't have to chop them off to get over a tiny stone.

There some speculation that the tag numbers 342 is a reference to the 3.4 TT V6.

I would hope it's at least 348 since that's the same output as the Tundra SR... maybe even something like 355 on premium fuel. 342 seems low with those things considered.

This pic cropped like you have it makes me realize two things:

That A pillar is damn near 90 degrees. Straight up. Boxy.

That line coming through the fender to the headlight is interesting.

Very excited for this GX...

 

[JustADude]

It should be the Tundra tune with 389hp at least. Calling it GX550 with 350hp doesn’t make sense when LS500 has 416hp.

This new GX looks like a rebadge of a redesigned Landcruiser J70. Would the new Prado then also be replaced by a redesigned Landcruiser J70? After all it is the Landcruiser J70 that preceded the Prado J90, then J120 and current J150/GX.

 

[CRSKTN]

That windshield looks flat to me.

 

[Levi]

If this is a J70, have they finally updated the axles?
