Unfortunately, Lexus does very little if much at all that is special anymore.

Brand ambassadors will state otherwise, but Lexus quality and reliability is far closer to middle of the pack vs. class leading in 2025.

As a kid who grew up in 90s truly viewing Lexus as an aspirational product and as an oaf who still wears numerous Lexus and Toyota apparel (ex: Landcruisers are made to tow jeep t-shirts) today....This just kind of stinks.

The matte blue with custom palomino interior works really well actually...

68L (18 US Gallon) fuel capacity...so much for an "overtrail" flagship. I'm curious to see whether a LX700h runs out of fuel first or a R1S runs out of electricity first on an offroad trail.

I hate this company for knowing their customers too well. They know this thing will never leave pavement.

This makes no sense to me. Almost every GA-F product has a smaller fuel tank than its predecessor… which might make sense if they got drastically better fuel economy but must don’t. Is this a packaging issue with GA-F?

It’s been a major complaint. I agree. Normally average 240-250 miles per tank. I did get 24mpg back frkm
daytona and saw 298 for the first time.

My LC i think is 22 gallons.

All the hybrid related components are in the body but the fuel tank is in the frame so packaging shouldn't be the problem. Both LC300 and LC250 have 80+30L tanks AND a 17.4L Adblue tank for the diesel models. The LX700h only has 60% their fuel capacity.

I dont understand why 33” tires look so small on Toyota’s new BOF models…
It defeats the whole point of having bigger tires….

I didn’t realize the LX Overtrail has hydraulic suspension. Kinda cool. No eKDSS is interesting. Hopefully that front locker makes it to other TNGA-F models.
