For enhanced safety, the front and rear seat shoulder belts of the Toyota Land Cruiser are height-adjustable to accommodate a wide variety of driver and passenger heights. A better fit can prevent injuries and the increased comfort also encourages passengers to buckle up. The Lexus GX doesn’t offer height-adjustable rear seat belts.

Both the Land Cruiser and the GX have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, front side-impact airbags, driver and front passenger knee airbags, side-impact head airbags, front seatbelt pretensioners, height adjustable front shoulder belts, four-wheel antilock brakes, all wheel drive, traction control, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding, lane departure warning systems, blind spot warning systems, rearview cameras, rear cross-path warning and available around view monitors.

Warranty

Toyota pays for scheduled maintenance on the Land Cruiser for 1 year and 15000 miles longer than Lexus pays for maintenance for the GX (2/25000 vs. 1/10,000).

There are over 5 times as many Toyota dealers as there are Lexus dealers, which makes it much easier should you ever need service under the Land Cruiser’s warranty.

Reliability

J.D. Power and Associates’ 2022 survey of the owners of three-year-old vehicles provides the long-term dependability statistics that show that Toyota vehicles are more reliable than Lexus vehicles. J.D. Power ranks Toyota above average in long-term dependability. With 34 more problems per 100 vehicles in the first three years of ownership, Lexus is rated lower.

Fuel Economy and Range

On the EPA test cycle the Land Cruiser gets better fuel mileage than the GX (22 city/25 hwy vs. 15 city/21 hwy).

To lower fuel costs and make buying fuel easier, the Toyota Land Cruiser uses regular unleaded gasoline. The GX requires premium, which can cost on average about 82.8 cents more per gallon.

Chassis

The Toyota Land Cruiser may be more efficient, handle and accelerate better because it weighs about 550 to 650 pounds less than the Lexus GX.

The Land Cruiser is 3.3 inches shorter than the GX, making the Land Cruiser easier to handle, maneuver and park in tight spaces.

Cargo Capacity

The Land Cruiser has a much larger cargo volume than the GX with its rear seat up (37.5 vs. 10.3 cubic feet).

Ergonomics

The Land Cruiser has a standard heated steering wheel to take the chill out of steering on extremely cold winter days before the vehicle heater warms up. A heated steering wheel costs extra on the GX.
