In the latest episode of MotorTrend Channel, we dive headfirst into the world of the new Lexus GX 550. This beast comes roaring in with a twin-turbocharged V6 engine, a departure from the beloved V8 of yesteryears. Off-road enthusiasts, rejoice! Lexus has finally answered your prayers with an off-road-focused GX that's ready to tackle any terrain you throw its way. From rocks to mud to snow, this bad boy doesn't break a sweat. And let me tell you, it looks damn good doing it too.
But it's not just about looks with the GX. This machine means business with features like descent assist control, ground clearance that'll make your jaw drop, and a suspension system that's smoother than a baby's bottom. The GX's body-on-frame design shared with other Toyota models ensures it's a tough cookie on the trails. And let's not forget about the interior – a perfect blend of luxury and functionality that'll make you feel right at home, whether you're cruising on the highway or conquering rocky terrains.
Now, let's talk about the design. The GX shares some visual DNA with the upcoming Toyota Land Cruiser, boasting crisp lines and a boxy silhouette that harks back to the good old days. It's a marriage of reliability, luxury, and that rugged charm that'll make you fall in love at first sight. Sure, the price tag may raise a few eyebrows, but when you're behind the wheel of this beauty, you'll realize it's worth every penny. So buckle up, folks, because the Lexus GX is here to stay, and it's ready to take you on the off-road adventure of a lifetime.
