2023 Lexus GX460 vs 2025 Toyota Land Cruiser LC250
Trying to decide between a 2023 Lexus GX460 and a 2025 Toyota Land Cruiser 250 (LC250) and wanted real-world opinions from people who’ve owned/driven them.
About me:
6 ft tall
Mostly highway + daily driving
Occasional road trips/camping/light off-road
Planning to keep the vehicle long term (8–10+ years)
Reliability, comfort, resale value, and overall ownership experience matter most
What I like about the GX460:
Proven V8
Lexus comfort and ride quality
Old-school reliability
Feels like a future classic
What I like about the LC250:
New tech/interior
Better MPG
More torque
More modern platform/off-road capability
My biggest concern:
GX460 feels outdated but proven.
LC250 feels modern but first-year/new drivetrain concerns.
For those who’ve owned either (or both), which would you choose today and why?
Also:
Is the GX460 still worth buying in 2026?
Does the LC250 actually feel more refined day-to-day?
Any regrets from GX owners switching away from the V8?
Would love honest long-term ownership feedback.
