WHAT'S NEW: Uses a new engine that's more powerful and offers better fuel economy. That change happened for 2010, as did a restyle inside and out. Since then, Lexus has made changes to the stability control system in a voluntary recall. For 2011, there's wood trim in base models with black leather and a compass in the rearview mirror.
COOL FACT: The last-gen GX was 440 lb lighter yet needed 17 ft more space in a 60-0-mph braking test.
SUM UP: Leather-lined rock crawler.
RATING: ***1/2
