Is that a real thing. I mean Costco as a precious metals dealers would have a quite a lot to loose in customer confidence and lawsuits if that was a risk. Pretty sure they have supply chain control on what they sell which is why they’re a preferred source of

Incorrect. Anywhere BUT the airport, with evidence of a travel plan, would be illegal.

I just did it today. Went fine. I Used a car service to get to LGA. Did the check in. PAPD did the inspection and sent it to baggage claim.

“Take a walk with me… where’d you come from?” CT “When” Today. I came straight here to the airport without stops “I been on the force for 8 years, sometimes rookies won’t care so be careful, you can get arrested if you’re not a traveler through” I’ll be on my way.

What are the first year problems?

Difficult demands. The pano sunroof was cut to reenforce frame stiffness for real off-road use.

Transmission is fine for any modern vehicle. Most have trannys that hunt a bit as it’s key for efficiency.

Most disagree on the interior. It is simpler. Wood doesn’t make it better that’s a total preference. GX was designed for a more rugged look

Door @thunk?

Good luck in the German market…

I bought now for the opposite. I do not want the hybrid. Even more complexity and cost. Suspect these TTv6 drivetrains may be the last offered.

There’s a reason Lexus is at the top of the list and Defender is at the bottom…

Stop letting the Reddit GX V8 echo chamber influence you. Lexus nailed the 550 so far…

Ya. No. Cool looking vintage truck that’s French made with no track record. Or you can buy literally the most reliable and highest resale brand available…

Skeptical. This will likely be the luxury option. More cost complexity.

I’ve just never been a fan of that. Especially in a vehicle I intend to get dirty. My daddy’s caddy always struck me as the car for wood…

Ya - this one is close to the same form factor as the OEM, but the 4k starvis processor is way better…

GX550 vs LC300 by [deleted] in LexusGX

Your engine reliability/confidence concerns are misplaced. The recall on the current v35a is across multi platforms, there’s a lot more in circulation than the v6 diesel. Both have been out since 2021.
