If they ever sell these in the U.S., i'd get one in a heartbeat.

Isn't this the Lexus GX?

 

[MikesToy]

Nope. It has all the Toyota logo emblems on it.

You can replace the Lexus emblems with the Toyota emblems

Who wants to downgrade? Does Lexus make Land Cruisers?

Isn't this the Lexus GX?

Actually the Lexus GX is a re-badge Prado with all the luxuries, same as the LX 570 vs Land Cruiser. I drove a 2009 Prado while working in Kuwait last year and loved it, whished they sell the Prados here to trade my 4Runner.

It's GX460.

The luxury appointments are probably a notch down from the US GX460, but higher than the of a 4Runner Limited.

The GX460 has the same chassis and body as the Prado. Different interior/exterior trim and drive train options. The top engine for the Prado is a turbo diesel. The GX is the luxury version.

Does it has KDSS and/or rear locker? If not, then I will stick with the 4runner.

Not only does it have KDSS it has AVS. A computer-controlled system that continuously adjusts the shock absorber's damping rates to help provide appropriate ride comfort and handling precision. Sensors monitor wheel speed, engine rpm, steering-wheel movement, brake application and vertical body motion to determine the ideal damping rate for each shock absorber. The driver can also select the ride firmness with the press of a button. Also has electronically modulated rear air susp w/air springs, automatic leveling and three-position manual height control, Torsen locking/limited-slip center diff and a 6 speed trans (3.91 rear gears) with crawl control.

That blog is freakin' porn for me! OMG!:girl:

Locker or bust, not interested in LSDs if it has them. I know for sure I'm in a small camp as well when I say SA in the front too, unless wishbones are as durable?

I've got the older GX470 and it's my understanding it's pretty much an older Prado (LC) rebadged as a Lexus, obviously panels and interior are different. I know Koz has the new GX460 and it's the rebadged LC for the US with a LOT of upgrades from the new Prado (LC).

I chose my GX470 over the '11 4Runner TE because the 4R left me underwhelmed BADLY. Great offroad truck I suppose, but it needs more balance for those of us that don't offroad every day. (I've got an offroad toy so that helped my choice)

I was at the dealer having the clunk TSB taken care of and looked in the GX460 and DAMN! It's flipping nice inside.

I'll say this, the GX460 looks SOOO much better in person than it does in pictures. It's pricey but I really doubt my next vehicle upgrade will be anything but the GX460.
