Here's the teaser shot:
 Based on the 4th Gen Tacoma, we have a pretty good idea what the platform and drive train are going to be. I think there's a pretty good chance these come standard with the hybrid engine. https://www.autoblog.com/2023/05/25/2024-lexus-gx-teaser-reveal-date/ |

Was behind an LX600 yesterday. Real boxy looking from the rear. GX looks to be following that trend.

I'll bet it's getting the TT v6 from the Tundra rather than the TT I4 from the Taco?

Quote HistoryQuoted: I'll bet it's getting the TT v6 from the Tundra rather than the TT I4 from the Taco? That might be possible, but I'd give it a thin chance. In general, the GX is more closely related to the Tacoma and 4Runner while the LX shares underpinnings with the Tundra and Sequoia. The i-FORCE MAX hybrid I4 turbo is rated for 326 hp and 465 lb-ft of torque. I would guess Toyota sees that as a great replacement for the 4.6L V8 with 301 hp and 329 lb-ft. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Wasn't the GX the US version of the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado? The current GX (the 460) is. The previous one was a 4Runner that had the V8 and was gussied up, that Gen 4Runner in Asia was called the Hilux Surf (as were the previous ones) but it was different than the Prado which existed along side it. The Hilux Surf is gone afaik. The Japanese market had some really cool accessories (including Toyota branded stuff) for the Surf. Nets to hang stuff inside, I think there was even a hammock for in interior. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Is the biggest reason to favor the V35 in the GX NVH? Fair point - tho much of what Lexus (and Premium Toyota) done with NVHE made intrusion extremely attenuated, T24A sounds worse standing quarter front than you'd ever imagine if you'd only been inside the NX. But V35A would simplify, |

My GX 470 has the exact same drivetrain as the LX 470 and Land Cruiser 100 Series. (4.7 2UZ) The GX 460 was only different because the 5.7L v8 in the LX 570 and Land Cruiser 200 Series was overkill and too big for the GX size. The 4.6 was plenty for it. No way they will stick the 4 banger from the Tacoma into the 3rd gen GX. It’s a Lexus and the American cousin to the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado. It’s not the flagship LX/LC, but it’s still technically a Land Cruiser. I would wager that it will get a detuned version of the TT v6 from the LX600. All that said, the GX is the king of Toyota 4x4s. Tacomas and 4Runners are the most popular, but they are incredibly overpriced for what they are; Tacoma is a cramped truck that can’t haul anything and the 4Runner is laughably underpowered. LX and 200 Series LC are the flagships, but they are massive and heavy and also ridiculously expensive. The GX is the perfect overland vehicle. Lexus luxury, Toyota reliability, 4Runner size, Land Cruiser drivetrain. It’s the best of all worlds. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: The current GX (the 460) is. The previous one was a 4Runner that had the V8 and was gussied up, that Gen 4Runner in Asia was called the Hilux Surf (as were the previous ones) but it was different than the Prado which existed along side it. The Hilux Surf is gone afaik. The Japanese market had some really cool accessories (including Toyota branded stuff) for the Surf. Nets to hang stuff inside, I think there was even a hammock for in interior. False The 1st Gen GX is a 120 Series Land Cruiser. 4Runner = Hilux Surf GX 470 (J120) = Land Cruiser Prado 120 (J120) The GX shares it’s frame/size with the 4Runner. That’s literally where the similarities end. The GX is just a smaller version of the Land Cruiser. The US market just never got the global version (LC Prado). |

You’ll pay that much for a 100k mile ‘03-09 GX 470. That’s also an odd range of years to pick because the 2013 is a lot different than the refreshed ‘14-15. If you want a 2014+ with 100k you’ll need to change that to low $30s. Quoted: does this mean 2020/2021s will be dropping into the low $30s Sure… In 15-20 years. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: My GX 470 has the exact same drivetrain as the LX 470 and Land Cruiser 100 Series. (4.7 2UZ) The GX 460 was only different because the 5.7L v8 in the LX 570 and Land Cruiser 200 Series was overkill and too big for the GX size. The 4.6 was plenty for it. They aren't - J120 GX VF4B is a Torsen center diff - the HF2A in the LX and LC100 has an open diff without a Torsen. There's other differences. '00 front to 4 pinion, A750F and diff gears 4.10 came in on refresh, VVTI, so all J100s themselves didn't have identical drivetrains. The differentiation between GX and LX was primarily due to the same calculus that will be in play if the V35A ends up in the GX. |

Rumor is the LC is coming back to North America. If it’s the 300 series I’ll be selling my 200 to get one. It might be the smaller LC Prado version in which case I’ll pass.

All had the same engine, sure, with substantially the same dev cycle, which isn't included in the drivetrain - tho I figured you meant powertrain since you mentioned the engine. Regardless 120 GX doesn't share nearly as much content with J100s as it does other models on the same platform. The N210 V8 Limited had the same A750F, VF4B, axles, etc as the GX470, on the same chassis with nearly identical suspensions when HCS was optioned. Really it's the V8 N210 that shares more powertrain with the GX than any of the J100s. FWIW there's a lot shared across Prado, GX, 4R/Surf, FJ and the front half of the 2nd Gen Taco since they derived from original J120 Platform Koyari's team developed. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: does this mean 2020/2021s will be dropping into the low $30s Not likely. People that know, will want the v8. If anything, I see it going the other way first. Eta also, to me, the pic in the op looks like a 2000 jeep Cherokee from the back. Really square... |

Or, did earlier GX470s have different engines than newer ones? 2UZ-FE was basically same throughout run - mid year break in '05 when VVTi came in with ACIS, plastic intake runners, castings/heads were identical, don't recall any accessory differences (alt upgrade isn't much). Visual difference - lost the trans dipstick second year A750F, cover on GX pre/post VVTi, pretty certain the LX cover was same through run. Did you have the top cover off? |
