@@jbrnd0079 Yeah it's part-time. The old sequioa had sort of hybrid between the two. Where you had the same torsen center, lockable diff. As well as a RWD setting
The LX600 is definitely on my short list to replace my aging Land Cruiser 200. I most definitely will be ordering it with the 18" wheels as I will most likely off-road the vehicle the day I buy it. I don't hard core rock crawl but definitely drive rutted fire roads, dirt roads, and long corrugated gravel roads.
Instead, buy a new sequoia Ltd with trd and put a lift and real offroad tires on it. Beats this Lexus. Only thing missing is full time 4wd. Not a biggie if your offroad anyways.
Things is, lack of full time 4WD, that huge hump in the cargo area, no tow hooks, terrible approach angles, and difficult to remove 3rd row takes the Sequoia completely off my list.
yeah if you saw the pick-up truck plus SUV talk video about where the recovery points are, there is one in the LX600 underneath the video under the left side. it's weird that Toyota cheaped out on this generation of their full-size SUVs considering all of their predecessors had 2 in the front (and one in the back for land cruiser and LX). im guessing the 300 series only has one tow hook on the other side where the LX doesn't have it. but hey, one tow hook beats none at all or else land cruiser sales would drop considerably without that single tow hook.
Hey this was a terrific video on the driving impression of the LX 600. Honestly, not a lot of reviewers give it the time and basically walk around it with the Lexus specs and typical mouthpiece language. Kudos to a true test of its features both on and off road. Looking forward to seeing this with all-terrains!
If Toyota ever offers a real off-road package for this vehicle, please consider doing another review of it. I'm sure we'd all love to see what she's really capable of.
Ohh The BIG Boi!!! This'll be FANCY!!! Let's get to watchin' Thank You, Ryan for continuing to take vehicles off-road. In order to show what they can, or cannot do..
GX460 comes with 18" wheels in the Premium version... off the lot it's great offroad... then you can swap all terrain tires on the stock rims... this LX600 also comes with an 18" wheel version too
@@suewang9210 then it’ll be a niche… Lexus knows that these things will only go over speed bumps as off-road exercise, so they didn’t even bother. Do u think Mercedes cares about taking G550 off-road? Same thing
If they had an off road version of this with 17 inch wheels and some KO2s I would definitely buy it and take it off road. I'm so disappointed that the land cruiser is no longer being exported to the States.
AMAZING man! Watching you in that mud had me holding me breath especially with the big heavy vehicle! I have all-wheel drive and it never would have been able to do this. The difference in having 4-wheel drive makes all the difference and I can see why and how that could be handy especially if you encounter rugged muddy situations. Great review!

Good review, I don’t get Toyota/Lexus, for an “off-road vehicle” it shouldn’t come with that low hanging front bumper which will rip off or scrape if you went farther up that hill. Another important new feature is that KDSS is now E-KDSS, electric and not hydraulic like the old one.

Why Lexus exists in North America but in Japan it is all Toyota and Toyota Japan has so much more choice of models, with a lot of technology and luxury models.

That sounds a little too optimistic for such a big rig. To give an example my 2020 GX460 averaged me 18 mpg (28k miles with every fill up logged on Fuelly), and my 2021 LX570 has averaged 16 mpg in 6-7 months of ownership (also using Fuelly to log 8k miles of mostly hwy driving).

Great review. Wish the test vehicle had 18" AT tire so you could really test its off-road capabilities. I like the auto height adjustment system for LX but too bad it's only available at FS or above trims. To take anything over $110K off-road is a bit insane, so I'm probably leaning towards Sequoia at this point. It's too bad though as I'm partial to Lexus having owned 3 so far
People always say who would take a 100k car off road. Everyone! Its not some 600k Ferrari. Most trucks are in the 70k-100k range these days... take it right off the lot and offroad it... that's what you are paying for!
People will never take the LX600 off-road.. I hope they do! Give it a few years when used prices come down, I'd love to see good aftermarket for offriadingvthis.
I remember a year ago when you reviewed the Lexus LX - you absolutely tore apart the remote-controlled screens in the back seat. I was laughing my ass off!
Well, I love everything about this car, except that with the 22 inch wheel, it's really hard to find All Terrine, or even snow tires, for these wheels.
The Lexus might be a version of Land Cruiser, but the Land Cruiser that was released worldwide is much more handsome and a great SUV. Wonder why Toyota chose not to release that in the US. Reminds me of the legendary Nissan Patrol that was also not available here but was release as an Infiniti which are not the same. :(
Toyota is first and foremost a finance company. If it does not fit their ROI model it will not be sold. Thisnis why the 4Runner, Sequoia, and other old products, that still sell well, get little investment. Land Cruiser and LX600 occupy the same macro space and would compete.
Why not to compare it with other cars such as the Mercedes GLS 580. Because both price wise are similar . Compare off road and on road capabilities this will be nice comparison.
In my country Malaysia. If the previous generation of LX570 the price was 1.2million Ringgit Malaysia in my country and no wonder if this brand new LX600 Fsport will be sell in the highest price then previous one 😂 . I am pretty sure the price will be between RM1.2m-RM1.5m include tax and insurance cost 😂 What a massive suv. BUT the price is worthy for all features and the design of this new LX guys. I LOVE THIS SUV compare to Land Cruiser model
I went for the real one lol, last summer i bought a brand new 2021 Land Cruiser black on black and im glad i did, btw fuel mileage wise, when you buy something like this you shouldn't worry about gas..
.3 Ryan trunk capacity but still a great car as long as you don't need the third row! Will miss the V8 sound but I guess it's still better than an EV (for offroading).
Those tires.. poop. But what's available in 22 inch? It would be a shame to have to trade those nice beautiful wheels just to get better tire selection.
Could this be a preproduction model? I know JLR used preprod models of their SUVs in their press fleets with all sorts of fit and finish weirdness. Would make sense as the LX600 i drove recently was solid as a rock, even over winter potholes.
That’s typical of Toyota products. I owned multiple Lexus vehicles as well as Tundra and a FJ and they they all did that. Doesn’t bug me though. Never interfered with the longevity.
@@jheath4031 I'm pretty sure that 22 inch rims shouldn't be leaving the pavement either. My Highlander can go any place that a standard 4x4 High range can go and in comfort.

Looks nice 👍
What are the other competitive models to the lexus LX 600?? Any one 😅
The last gen LC and LX can run forever, but i am not so confident for the new gen with turbo engines.
bah lift that thing and slap some good mud terrains on her. beauty rig. I'm partial to my new 4runner though, love that thing especially for just 42k
Waoo luxurious lexus
As mentioned, the wheels and tires will hold it back outside of Rodeo Drive.
Those tires.. poop. But what's available in 22 inch? It would be a shame to have to trade those nice beautiful wheels just to get better tire selection.
Weird the hood wobbles, Ford, Chevy and Ram have had aluminum hoods for a while and I've never noticed them wiggle at speed.
I think it's the protruding shapes on the hood that make it catch the wind weird.
@@drivingsports i just can't believe the engineers on a $100k luxury car let it fly
Could this be a preproduction model? I know JLR used preprod models of their SUVs in their press fleets with all sorts of fit and finish weirdness. Would make sense as the LX600 i drove recently was solid as a rock, even over winter potholes.
That’s typical of Toyota products. I owned multiple Lexus vehicles as well as Tundra and a FJ and they they all did that. Doesn’t bug me though. Never interfered with the longevity.
So my 2008 Highlander has the same 4wd system just the lite version? Hahaha. It just doesn’t have low range or fancy differentials.
Low-range and differentials is what makes the difference between an off-road vehicle and a car that shouldn't leave the pavement
@@jheath4031 I'm pretty sure that 22 inch rims shouldn't be leaving the pavement either. My Highlander can go any place that a standard 4x4 High range can go and in comfort.
That grill looks like a screaming anime character lol
