Purchase current Lexus GX 460 V8 or wait for redesign in 2024?

[Anonymous]

This more of a technical inquiry. The current Lexus GX 460 comes with a proven, reliable conventional V8 engine. The GX however, is being
redesigned for 2024 but likely come with a twin turbo V6 - more power, slightly better fuel economy, but the new engine will be more complicated and thus
less reliable vs the current V8. The vehicle body is also being restyled, but expected to retain the desired truck frame. I'm leaning towards purchasing the current one now but
don't want to miss out on some of the restyling benefits. Thoughts?

You're paying Toyota tax ($60-65k) for a car that is literally a 2009 platform. My money would wait for the redesign.

I am fairly brand loyal to Toyota/Lexus, but their design and styling continues to get uglier and uglier. In your shoes I'd probably purchase now for the reliability factor that you mention.

I hate all of the new stuff - twin turbos, hybrid, due to unreliability, complexity. I'm a fan of full EV but don't believe Lexus will be offering that with the GX anytime soon. They don't tell you this but in the real world there is only marginal improvement in fuel efficiency of a V6TT over the V8. V8 are a dying breed but that does not mean they are bad. The govt is forcing automakers to become more fuel efficient. I can't believe Toyota just released the full size Tundra with a V6TT over the V8. I would purchase the current model year.

2024 is far away if you are looking now.

Anyone who buys anything other than an EV is a complete dumbass.

Don't buy the first year a model comes out. Nor, the last.

Well, a bicycle and mass transit infrastructure is the ULTIMATE answer. But short of that an EV is the ultimate answer for now.

I’m curious to hear your idiotic trumper explanation why it isn’t.

I would avoid buying cars until the prices go down from the chip shortage. Tesla is the only company that has figured out how to not be effected by the chip shortage

You realize of course that we, as a society, literally cannot generate enough electricity anytime in the near future to power a large scale transition to EVs. A UT Austin study, for example, estimated Massachussetts would need to generate 55% more electricity than it currently does. THere is just not capacity in the infrastructure for this and states will need to dramatically expand power generation over the next 30 years even to allow EV expansion to continue at the current rate.

No, I don’t “realize that” - because it sounds like total bullsh!t. And I’d hardly trust a study out of any university in Texas to be objective about this matter. Texas produces more oil than any other state. You think they might be a little biased against renewable energy? Uh, YEAH.


You’re just not bright enough to spar with me, trumpie. Why don’t you argue with something that has an intellect on-par with your own. Do you have any fence posts nearby?

I understand the first year, but what is the the risk with purchasing the last year of the model run?
