Lexus has certainly upped the ante by strapping the most luxurious cowboy hat onto their GX550, hasn’t it? They’re not just selling us an off-road rig, but a tech-savvy, leather-lined, rear-door-kicking paradise. Talk about mixing mud and silk, it’s like they’re trying to make a horse-drawn carriage off-road ready. The twin-turbocharged V6 sounds like a big, grunting bull trying to charm the mudbugs, but hey, if it can pull 9,096 pounds, who’s to argue? It’s all about the trusty Toyota engine, right? Or is it a case of ‘big tires, big trouble’? I guess we’ll have to wait and see if this luxury SUV is just a high-tech costume for a mud-wrestling contest, or if it can actually dance the dirt ballet like it’s wearing dancing shoes. I mean, come on, 33-inch tires on a Lexus? It’s like fitting ballet slippers on a grizzly bear—can it dance, or will it just lumber off in a fit of splendorous frustration?
