IMO... I think the LC/LX570 will be refreshed first.. at that point we might be at 2021 for GX.... possibly early release spring 2020 for the GX to see any changes

It has such consistent sales though... the tooling and such was from a decade ago. IMO..so much profit in the 460..... Toyota has no real reason to discontinue other than some legal/EPA reason.

1) Tariffs. If it becomes a reality, I see Lexus reconsidering the offerings in the states and may even build a slightly larger version of a SUV based on the highlander. And make it locally in the states.
2) GX has been a good seller for the following reasons besides it being an amazing truck:
- cheapest 7 pass truck in the Lexus lineup
- relatively cheap given that Lexus has lowered the msrp and leases are amazinh
3) now that the RX-L is around.. you may see the impact on GX sales.
At the end of the day.. who knows what will happen.

agreed. No need to discontinue it unless they are bringing a larger viriant of the RX or make a cheaper version of the LX. They may just keep the truck chugging along on the side but here is something I see that can change things...

The RX-L although I thought was a huge factor, isnt moving all too well. GX is safe from that.
The 19 placeholder either was a hodge podge of analytics for web crawlers or it means no refresh and chugging along. End of august is usually a refresh placeholder launch date. If all is the same then expect the official lexus website to sooon show thwe 19s.

I don't think it's going anywhere. There are so many in my area it's almost ridiculous.
I say this as someone who is planning to buy one as soon as the right year/miles/price comes along, but I'm frankly surprised they sell so well considering how old of a truck it is.
I've never driven nor ridden in one (sat in one though, loved it) but it must have a silky ride and be plenty refined.
That's exactly what I'm looking for. Tough capability, run over curbs, tow boat, go off roading etc. like my 15 year old Yukon does but I want the Lexus luxury.
Hate that it requires premium, though.

Autoblog has a piece on the tariff situation so that might play a role but these things are moving well so unless theres a huge effect I doubt they`d stop.

While I thank you for that, I caution my excitement with the fact the most usual source of before press images that are found on auto sites have nothing on the 19. Dealerships also like to ruffle up feathers from time to time claiming different things about axed, refreshed etc so I hope that is not the source.

Don't know if this is related, but i received a survey from Lexus a few weeks back on the vehicle performance, brakes, leather and other features.
The survey also wanted to know what features i would want to to be changed etc. Is this a normal survey which everyone receives?

Toyota is about to announce the addition of a split tailgate with top-hinged glass as a no-cost option for the updated Landcruiser Prado, CarAdvice can exclusively reveal.
Unlike previous Prado generations where the flat, split tailgate has been limited to top-spec Altitude models, the model-year update will make it available on the GXL, VX and Kakadu. The spare wheel is relocated under the car, the secondary fuel tank removed and a top-hinged rear window added.
A group of vehicles sporting the new tailgate were spotted at the docks in Port Melbourne, and the car you see here was posted on the Instagram page of a Victorian dealer.
According to the dealer, the option can be selected at the time of purchase for no additional cost. It reduces the Prado's fuel capacity from 150- to 87 litres – the 63 litre sub tank is replaced by a spare tyre – which drops driving range from around 1875km to 1087km.
