Most people assume that the current Toyota 4Runner and Lexus GX 460 feel very similar on the road, because they share so many components and are built on the same platform and built in the same factory in Japan. But actually, the two body-on-frame SUVs feel very different on the road - and it's not just because of the V8 vs V6 engine. Surprisingly, even the steering feel is different and the GX actually feels sportier to drive. David has done many videos comparing the 4Runner against the GX, so please take a look at some of the past videos as well.
