Once you put front and rear lockers and a decent set of tires, they are all pretty good. Stock to stock, there is no way on this green earth the G wagon can hang with the Raptor, off-road. Compared to the other crap from Europe, maybe the wagon is better. That thing is made for getting your single hole horse trailer out of a muddy road. You can't be serious.

Luxury off roader = land cruiser. The raptor might get you there. The land cruiser will get you there and back in quality. There is a reason the United Nations drives land cruisers and not raptors.

I have both the G63 2018, last of that nostalgic body style) and Lexus LX570, the Lexus IS buy far more Luxurious in terms of the ride quality, fit and finish. While I love my G63, it’s more of a Rugged and powerful Luxurious vehicle. The ride is extremely rough and doesn’t handle that well on the road. Can’t speak from personal experience with off road capabilities, never have taken either off road, but from what I’ve read, the G wagon is a formidable off road vehicle.

Impressive. You own 2 off the most worthy off road luxury SUV'S in the world. LX 570= 25 year build life. I have to say from a pure build quality standpoint, the LX 570 is the most impressive vehicle I have driven.

United Nations = bunch of *******. Oh, they will spend your money just fine though. Go talk to the US Border Patrol, I bet they were just aching to trade their Raptors in for a Land Cruiser.

Well coming from a state like " good ole texas", that response does not surprise me. Do you really want to compare a vehicle with a 25 year build life to a vehicle that already has had known problems. Please stop while you are already making yourself sound like a " good ole boy".

Thanks. I’m a big fan or Toyota and Lexus. I purchased my old company car in 2013 at the end of the lease (2010 Toyota Sequoia), and use it to go to Tahoe and transport the Dog/kids and sports, still have it with now just a under 180k miles. Runs like new, everything works, all interior has held up without signs of wear and I literally have never had one issue, only performed maintenance every 5k.

g wagons come with front, rear, and center lockers stock my friend. You seriously are talking Without any knowledge on them. The g wagon four by four have portal axles stock. Obviously it won’t be as good as a raptor traveling fast across the dessert but that’s not what it’s built for. Crawling up rough terrain the raptor has no chance. The G wagon has really good approach and departure angle and really good clearance. Especially when you talk about the four by four.
