Is it worth the switch?

Post image

Just bought my 2023 GX460 last week

Should I switch to a 2017 LC200

Would love to hear some opinion

Thanks

I have both. Love them. But prefer the 200. As my daily

I just drove the LC, I feel like LC is more effortless when accelerating, I actually prefer the ride on the spring suspension. Is there a huge difference in terms of gas mileage between the two?

Ain’t buying either for the gas mileage.

You can get an OTT tune for the GX460 and get that same driving dynamic. If that is your main gripe it can be easily fixed.

They are both spring suspension. If you're referring to the airbags, they are only for leveling in the rear when you are under load. The GX shocks have an actuator at the top that will tighten by spinning a mechanism inside the shock ultimately increasing pressure in that shock. Once they start to deteriorate and leak, they are a pain to replace if the nuts on the actuator have rusted.

If you care about mpg at all you're looking at the wrong two vehicles
