It is smaller inside which I wasn't crazy about, or it feels smaller at least.
A++++++++ on the front seat comfort though, wow.
I like the LX but I just hate that they took so much weight and armor out of it for fuel economy.
Also, they sold nearly 7,000 of them in 2023. That is about double LX570 sales, nothing to write home about but sales have increased. This also may be because the Land Cruiser in that iteration isn't available here

I would consider a doubling of sales to be a considerable win, no?
We like the TX, and we like the GH. If we were looking for a new 3 row vehicle, I'd have more choices than ever - TX, Grand Highlander, Sequoia, Yukon, LX, CX90, XC90, etc. I would just go for the LX but my wife would never agree...

I could easily own one. I know you'll disagree, but I do wish they offered the hybrid powertrain in it.

It was always outclassed in many practical ways but now it plain doesn’t have the goods that way cheaper rivals have.

Point taken, but for clarification, the top engines in the TX and GH are NOT the same. We should at least be accurate.
GH Hybrid Max starts at $59k. The TX500h, with the same power train starts at $69k, so a $10k difference. Step up to the top TX, the TX550h+ with the V6 plug in hybrid, that’ll cost you $78k to start.

I think the reason I felt that way was the Palisades I have looked at have captains chairs in the second row and the TX was a bench. That makes a big difference in how spacious the third row feels.

$17K difference yet they literally share the same engine and some body panels.

The 550h+ is a pretty funny scenario, because Toyota had to decontent all the F-Sport features from it that are on the 500h to get it under the $80K mark to make it qualify for the federal tax credit at its base price.

You didn't read anything past my first sentence then. Same engines equipped means the loaded 500h TX is $17K more than a loaded Grand Highlander. Same exact engine.

Pretty sure the TX PHEV does not qualify for the tax credit:
