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

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.

Lexus GX550 ...going on a test drive finally on Friday. I am ready to put a deposit. I am upgrading from a Lexus LX450 with 185k miles. I dont drive that much, but I hope I love the new GX550. They have some incoming stock so I will decide. Price is MSRP 78k it seems like a deal compared to all other vehicles out there!
My daugther wants me to keep the Classic Lexus LX450 since I dont drive that much. most of my traveling now a days is flying and getting pamper. But...lol

Kind of boxed yourself in with your user name....

What are the odds on whether or not the GX runs into the V35A main bearing issues? I'm on a waitlist for an Overtrail, but I'm inclined to wait a year or so to see how things play out.
