With their comparable turning radii, the Lexus GX 470 and the Land Rover quite certainly handle approximately the same into and out of tight spots.

The Lexus GX 470's engine isn't much more sizeable than the Land Rover LR3's. Torque is the force that lets you accelerate quickly, and in this respect, the Lexus GX 470 isn't much more powerful than the Land Rover LR3.
