LX or GX?

LX or GX?
I have 2011 LX and soon it's time to replace it with a new truck.
I still love my LX and I'm thinking of the same model, 2018 or maybe wait for 2019, but recently I thought - maybe GX might be good enough for me?
Can you dear experts share your opinions and experience and tell me what are the main differences between those two models?
I know that GX has funny rear door (barn) and the 3rd row seats are not good as in LX.
What else?
Thank you guys!

I went through this when I purchased my 2011 LX. Drove both the LX and the GX. The GX just didn't have the feel that the LX 470 we were trading in. Dove the GX first, then the new LX. The sensory difference was dramatic to both my wife and I. Now have
125,000 on the 2011 and thinking of trading it in now.

If you're buying new, I'd definitely wait it out for the new model (whenever that is happening). Both are now at the end of their life cycle.
I think if you're used to a 570, you're going to be greatly unimpressed with a GX460. There is just no comparison at all.
More room, more power, just better everything.

I'm waiting. And waiting. And waiting more. Doesn't look like they will release it any time soon. I guess it's not happening till mid-2019 at least?
And then there is like 6 month wait probably? Which means that I'm driving my 7 years old for one-two more years...It's getting old...
I'm thinking about picking up 2018 model for now, lease it for 3 years and after that there will be a next gen for sure, with all bugs fixed by that time?

New the LX is almost double the price.... I think the GX is the better value.... has a touch screen which is a plus for some people... The LX is more luxurious... The GX is getting a slight facelift next year....

Both engines are significantly different. The LX idles (and accel / cruise) alot smoother than the GX. Ride is more comfortable and the LX is alot of 'complicated' / has more mechanical toys than the GX. Everything reflects on the price.

What mechanical toys are you referring to? I have been in LX before and there is not much of features it has over the fully loaded GX except the size
