The tiny over stressed twin turbos can't hold a candle to the refinement and reliability of the legendary 5.7L iForce V8. I have this vehicle as well and hope it last for the next 30 years.
Honestly, I could care less of the technology is a bit old. I love the idea that this car will be rock solid and reliable as heck. Looks nice, reliable and overall a great car. Sure the mpg is a bit bad but this is a big vehicle. I love it

6:46 It’s the easy-access feature, which allows you to get in and out of the vehicle easily. For instance, when the vehicle is turned off, it will automatically lower its height so you can get out easily
I love LEXUS, you know when you hop in this vehicles you have peace of mind that is not going to break on you even if off road or on freeway I don't care about technology what I care is transmission,engine and parts other vehicles just to drive it scares me thinking they may break like ford's Chevrolet dodge etc...Toyota lexus you know is going to last like my old TOYOTA CAMRY 1995 odometer stops at 795 thousand miles and after that I drove it for 3 years more🤣🤣🤣
And even then I think it’s only outdated because it ain’t broke. Not because Toyota/Lexus are unable or incompetent enough to make the changes. (If that makes sense) and I’m ok with that. The lack of CarPlay or android auto is ridiculous though. Edit: I happen to look over and im actually parked next to a older one right now, it’s really the same car lol
Hi Chris, I like the way your videos give the viewer a feel for what it is like to actually drive the vehicle. I am a retired widower w/ no children or grandchildren, so the LX570 is not for me😀. (But is was fun taking a ride in one.) Hanging on to my 2017 Camry LE.😉
If your spending this money its going to be around 60k-70k used, I would totally put the Magnuson supercharger giving it that extra 150 horse improved fuel economy(with light foot) and maintaining that Toyota reliability.
@@brandenalexander6038 Get jt installed on a 100k vehicle? I expect to not have to do any Of that stuff at that price point. for a sub 25k vehicle sure. Between 25-35k OK I could see it as an option. Anything above 35k imo should have it standard. It's not THE decision maker, just one of them.
It's an old school titan with new car warranty. The thing is Lexus/Toyota made their money on this vehicle many times over (same thing with the Sequoia too) so why they charge so much money is beyond me especially when other large SUVS offer a more car like ride/handling experience and have new features to boot.
Toyota does not care about the North America's market when it comes to LC and LX, because they know that those are sold like hot cakes all over the world. Hell, I travelled to Central Asia and you see more Land Cruisers than people there
The ONLY thing this vehicle needed was apple carplay. The fact that it lacks the “tech” that other competitors may have is THE POINT of this SUV. It’s meant to be reliable and versatile, and some luxuriousness with high quality materials. Thats IT! Lexus purposely delayed updating the LX for as long as they could. Anyone who owns one of these understands that the MPG blows, but thats called the “reliability tax”. This truly is an important vehicle and most of you will never know it. I will truly miss this SUV. I don’t care for anything with a twin turbo V6 with a 10 speed. Been there done that. No thanks! I also miss your GX. I almost bought it. Was an issue on my end unaccounted for. Topher is as nice of a person as he is on his videos. Thats why this is one of my favorite channels for sure.
@Jonathan Losito that’s true, if you need to go off road this is a great option. But my point is that you give up too many things for the sake of reliability and off road capability. Most people will be mall-crawling anyways, and the Tahoe won’t likely be a disposable money pit like, for example, Mercedes GLS will probably be. The Tahoe will likely be somewhat reliable if history tells us anything. I’d rather have a nice-driving and modern interior than a car that feels 10 years old and doesn’t have CarPlay (doesn’t look like an aftermarket head unit can be added). I won’t keep my car for 300k miles anyways. And the Tahoe starts at a much cheaper MSRP before loads of incentives. You’d need to have $10k+ in repairs on the Tahoe to match total ownership cost of the Lexus. And then there’s the fact that the Lexus gets worse MPG than the Tahoe. I’m saying this as a person that has owned 4 Toyotas and 0 GM products.
I used to dislike the Land Cruisers and Lexus LXs because of their price tag compared vs other luxury brands *ejem german brands ejem* until my dad was fortunate to own a Land Cruiser and I have to say, they are built to outlast me. Now I dream of owning one one day.
Thing, is as you get older, tech and sportiness are two things you care less and less about. The person spending 6 figures on a lexus car or truck likely wants an old Cadillac or Lincoln ride, but with Japanese reliability.
What package is this one in particular??? That interior is immaculate!!! Plus the black chrome and black finishes on the outside make this thing look mean AF! I love it 💯
I honestly can’t understand how anyone can excuse the lack of car play support on a car of this price. May as well make the AC optional and claim it’s not a car for AC lovers.
Test drive one today at dealership. Didn’t like the handling. Took too long to accelerate when i floored it. Lack of technology and high fuel consumption. Dealership had it for 93k. Not worth 93k after 3 yrs.

Lexus/Toyota Updates to tomorrow design sooner than most, thats why after a few years they fall behind. No worries, NX got complete redesign and so will the LX for the next model year of 2023. Also the GX will be redesigned for 2024. ES is always up to date

Poor interior color choice with the so called sporty red and other. The sporty features in this vehicle are laughable and somewhat insulting the the buyer. What is Lexus trying to prove here? This is a dinosaur that still gives me peace of mind when the end of world comes. I own a 2008 GX4570. It has 155,000 miles, it is slow with a lot of body role, but I will not exchange it to anything in poor road conditions Midwest in winter. The comfort and confidence it gives me in the winter can't be described in words. Dinosaur LX570 is just a more bad ass tank on road than GX470 or 460.
I don’t get it. Ive never understood this and the land cruiser. If you are comfortable with this gas mileage why not just buy the RAM TRX? It’s incredibly faster and funner to drive, even more capable off road, can haul, tow and just in general do more, has probably better tech (much better interface) just as good of a sound system with the high package and I would argue is almost as good in terms of luxury and materials inside. The Toyota build quality is true but overblown compared to other manufacturers (I’ve had lots of time In tundras). And lastly, you look bad ass in the TRX as opposed to looking like and NBA Wag in the Lexus. Topher - I am genuinely teachable- you’ve driven the TRX- help me understand.
This has literally lived through TWO financial crises and survived both.
This is Toyota's sad excuse for a halo car that sells 4,000 annually. About as bad as the old GS!

Great review. Bought one a few days ago. So far, love it!!

At least you get a big fuel tank.

There's literally no point whatsoever for this vehicle in this day and age. But somehow I still love it

Its getting a complete redesign which will be revealed soon. and it will be more worth the price
