Looks like Vid got pulled. Maybe that wasn't meant to be live until after 7pm. But I will note, that for sure they expect women to be a key purchasers of new GX. Lots of shots of the woman of the couple in the drivers seat. Makes sense - I think 60 or 70% of GX drivers I see down here in TX are women.

Wondering if that orange/bronze depicted in the diary is a new colour?

Grill looks way better than 14-23 grill IMO. Looks like it has way better approach angle and maybe ride height. The 21/23 angles of the 14-23 were entirely inconsistent with the go anywhere subtext of the GX. At least the 10-13's 28/25 angles were somewhat inline with on road sophistication with offroad capacity so maybe '24 will be closer to that. Pic make mirrors look cheap through.

We have 4 GX460s in the family and the main drivers are the wives.....

Paging @Acrad , we need our new 3rd Generation Sub-Forum ready to go...
.
I couldn't believe what I heard, when this was first described to me by a Lexus employee who had been shown the vehicle and described it in detail 2 years ago. I still have his notes and damn it was he right about everything. A lot of us I can see, been curious about this new GX for 1-2 years now and have been trying to pass on the info to as many people as possible. Many got the gist, a lot of others played hot potato with the info and didn't want to believe it. Well, can't always be too pessimistic.
This company can be very austere and conservative at times, but someone at Toyota half a decade ago, fought for this unique approach to replacing these vehicles and finally making the retro nod to Land Cruiser 70 heritage, that they've been scrambling to find a donor vehicle for the past decade. They found that the aging GX and Prado were the perfect targets to remake the 70-Series. Finally it's happened as they've wanted.

Locking Rear diff on some trim. Plus way more torque.
