Lexus GX550 Overtrail vs. Grenadier or new Toyota Land Cruiser?

[nickw]

Irrelevant metrics.

The GX550 is the same base vehicle as the new Land Cruiser. Are you trying to prove that wrong? It's the same vehicle... just with more crap to break.

Not true, we now know they are not the same base, the LC is more closely related to the 4R.....

You sure about that Clark? Different engine and transfer case- but axles, chassis, etc are basically the same

Clark? Based on the IH8 mud stuff the GX is going to come with the 9.5" rear axle as a start so there are some differences, time will tell for the rest.
