In this video I talk a LOT about my Land Cruiser First Edition compared to the new GX550 Overtrail+. Lots to like in the Lexus, but it's not perfect.

Didnt the OT already have a 1” lift over the LC or did they add another inch?

Overtrail + is my dream rig, but I do not believe in car loans after one retires so it is out of my reach for now. I promised to myself that I'll get one as soon as my stock investments will hit Big ONE M and then I'll cash in 10% of it. Most likely couple more years. So far I am happy with my LC LC, but would love to have V6 turbo and 2" lift would be a bonus.
