Buy any Toyota Sequoia from 2011-2022. Probably the best motor and transmission in any vehicle in the last 10-15 years.
Do the Lexus gx and LX have the same motor and trans?

You can get the range techs for '21 and '22.

Can the armada off-road like the taho; though.
One of them is based on a platform that dominates the offroad scene in the middle east.
The other... Is a mini van.
The new redesign is very tempting.

I believe the LX does but the GX does not. It’s a 4 liter or something. Maybe a 4.6?
ETA same motor/trans that was in the Land Cruiser.

Anemic 5.3 engine, bad lifters/AFM, trannys that last 80k miles or less, crappy interior that falls apart? Paint that flakes off? Built by union thugs bailed out by Obama? What more could you want?

I had the 2011 Tahoe with the 5.3L and absolutely loved it. No issues. Owned it 8 years and 180k miles, then traded it for a new 2018 F150 FX4 Platinum in early ‘19.
Nice truck, but I miss that Tahoe every day

There's some office bro who is always getting gas at costco.
Has a lifted new expedition.
I don't know how it would hold up, but the amount of ground clearance is... Impressive.
He's got the same amount under the bottom that my truck has at the rockers.

Is it the same exact replica of the Nissan patrol?
Or is the armada a mall finder americanized version like the pathfinder?

They all have transmission issues after 2014.
All 5.3 since 2007 are prone to lifter failure.
The 10 speed seems to be getting better reviews than the 8speed did.
I purposely sought out a 2009 6.2 Denali a few years ago because of this. 6 Speed Trans, 6.2, no AMF cylinder deactivation to cause lifters to fail.
2 things-
1- Realistically there are hundreds of thousands that survive not having issues. If you follow forums or FB it makes the problems appear way more common. (Average Joe that buys a Tahoe, and does not have issues, or make mods to it, is not going to join a fb group to say- "I have a bone stock 2016 Tahoe and it runs good" lol)
2- If you buy anything newer than a 2015 get a warranty.

Ish?
It has a less beefy front diff. Locker is missing. But Nissans hill descent does a great job finding tracking electronically.
Also...
armada 0 to top end
That 5.6 has more grunt from 110 mph ON than a lot of sports cars.
Not that it really matters.
ETA: to be fair, the endurance 5.6 was plagued with cylinder 7 scoring issues until mid 2019 or so. Annoying misalignment of an oiling jet on one machine. 1 in maybe 30 5.6s seem to have it. Of those that do, 1 in maybe 10 ever get noticed.
My truck technically has it, but makes no noise and still has a 6.1 0-60 time at 150k miles.
