The 2019 Lexus GX 460 was the perfect vehicle for us to upload on this Throwback Thursday! Hope you guys enjoy this video. We're heading to NJ today to drive and film the 2020 BMW X3 M and X4 M :D
Sofyan, I noticed that you were trying to provide a justification for every critisize you made. Come on, the vehicle is "a throw back" "as you mentioned" in these days features in the market.
Sofyan, I absolutely LOVE your reviews! You are my favorite auto reviewer... So what I say next is with the utmost respect, not hating at all! I enjoy that you are experimenting with a new video format, opening with a voice over while simultaneously doing shots of the vehicle. I, however, REALLY loved your previous intros, where you would say a little, short spiel while standing next to the vehicle and then cutting to the music and shots of the vehicle. I love that! Anyway, my two cents. ✌🏾
Bro. This is an “old money” suv. These are the wealthy people who don’t want to show off and demand reliability and luxury. This is a goldmine for Lexus.
I don’t understand this logic. So u have enough old money for premium fuel for 15 mpg vehicle, but not enough money to lease a new car every 3 years! Ppl with money should not be losing sleep over long term reliability of their cars!
@@mtnslyr if you still have a mindset of "flexing" your wealth, then you're not part of "old money" people. People in the "old money" category didn't have the desire to flexing their wealth they didn't need recognition for their wealth. Unlike new money which usually always need recognition from other people.
Ryan Patel Agreed, accept there are some very expensive vehicles that appreciate in value. I never knew that. Tracy Morgan, the actor, purchased one of those types of vehicles for $1.5 million used.
You can not compare this dinasour with a Range Rover. It produced 300HP from a 4.6 liter engine. Nowadays engines produce that horsepower from a 2 liter engine.
Looking to purchase one..how do you like it? I have a current 4runner and this looks like a luxury version of that vehicle. Ignore the hater below..the LX/Toyota outlast all the competition with no drama.
This engine is the most reliable on the planet. It is the same de-tuned engine from old Lexus LS460 that people love. They take the direct fuel injection out of the GX which makes it less stressed! Lexus knows what tf their doing
@@malikulamin9948 this uses the same frame and body from a toyota prado and the 4.6L v8 is borrowed from a 2012 and plus model land cruiser just this motor has different tuning and ecu
@@ronin120 The Lexus offers a higher level of power and luxury. If I was nitpicking I might say that the Premium fuel requirement for the Lexus might be a consideration but that is a very minor quibble for such a fine vehicle. Actual fuel mileage seems to be very close considering the power upgrade that comes with the GX. I suppose you might want to ask your insurance agent whether there is a large difference in insurance costs.
I’ve owned fourteen Lexus vehicles and I’m currently on my third GX. Love these SUV’s! I get 20mpg on the highway. Not too bad. They are bulletproof! I have the luxury version with all the bells and whistles including the 17 speaker Levinson system.
2007 gx470 owner purchased used with 167k miles. Just hit 404k miles with only the timing belt replaced and got rid of the air suspension. I bet I could still sell this for more than any BMW, Volvo, or Merc with half the amount of miles. Not to mention it can out perform all of the aforementioned brands off-road any day of the week!
I completely agree. We have a 2006 and a 2010. Both solid and very off-road capable. They also pull our RV reliably. I have never seen the temp gauge move while towing. Uphill.
I have a 2016 that’s the same car, and I love it! Very squishy material leather, very comfy, reliable, and quiet! May not be the most up to date with technology, but I love it.
I know this Lexus is so very dated, but I've always found it charming and timeless. It looks like it belongs in a town's "old money neighborhoods." And I'm certain it would be reliable and comfortable 20 years from now. If I was in the market for an SUV in this price range, I'd give it serious consideration. Great review as usual!
Colin Flaherty Videos Daily lol none of my parents Toyotas have blown head gasket. Tundra 300k miles, Sequoia 280k miles, RX300 200k miles with no problems but oil change. Plus my 7 year old IS350 is still going strong with 56k miles on it.
Colin Flaherty Videos Daily I do my research and I know a lot them plus I make contents on my IS350. I've never heard of these problems. Like I said my parents drive nothing but Toyotas and never had any problems with them. Maybe you have bad luck with Toyota vehicles
As an owner of a 2015 GX and previous owner of a 2007 GX I can tell you exactly why it still moved 30k Units last year despite the aging design. 1) Ultra Low Depreciation Value 2) Reliability/Quality 3) Body on Frame (enough said) 4) Off-Road Capability vs. 4runner is better 5) The V8 . The GX offers things that make it outdated but a true SUV. SUV's like the Range Rover, X5, and Q7, and even the XC90 are beautiful but they will NEVER have the same value as this one and will never be as reliable. They are fun to drive but it's own right so is the GX. This thing is a tank and it will be around for years to come.
Love this truck. It’s so underestimated and under appreciated. It’s not a poser SUV. The luxury variant is the better option. Folks who buy this aren’t getting it for everyday 3rd row use. This doesn’t compete with crossovers it competes with GLE, X5... the 2020 will be out soon. The G wagon was just updated and was the oldest vehicle in the MB lineup but you journalists loved it. Why the complaints with Toyota?
Don't expect much from the 2020 model. Aim for the 2021-2022 model. 2020 is just another facelift based one the pics that have been leaked of it so far. New LED headlights, new grill, new steering and maybe a minor interior update, possible update to the infotainment if anything. It's a stopgap while they work on the all new one. The new one however is said to be like a baby LX, so that'll be something to look forward to.
@@Monkeyseemonkey79 That's a matter of opinion, I think. Being the owner of one myself I'd say it has plenty of personality. It's not iconic, I'll give you that. It won't stand out in the quirkiness department like a Volvo, or match the ultra-high tech experience of the German luxury SUVs. But it'll outlive them both and remain comfortable the entire time doing it. As the review says, it's really an experience in old-school stately luxury. And on top of that, it'll eat most other SUVs for breakfast off-road. It's essentially a luxury version of the same vehicle that's been a UN Peacekeeping staple for decades now, with a more powerful engine and better transmission. Properly prepared, it'll go anywhere, and will still outlive most of its peers. That in itself is a persona that stands out among its rivals. It'll just fulfill that persona while not being as fancy or RGB-LED-filled on the inside as a Mercedes :P
2019 owner here. The low depreciation takes the sting out of the price. Those nice Volvos and BMW's can have soul destroying depreciation. An alignment that adds some caster angle makes it track much better.
Yea, this design has worked well for a while and does depreciate slowly. Also, buyers of these vehicles ( not saying you ) are generally older people with grandkids and within their prime buying ages were buying mid to late 2000's vehicles and are very used to these types of interior designs and is comfortable and easy for them to use. People bought 30,000 last year for a reason. Like I said, maybe a well off 25 year old isn't gonna buy this to travel the country with his buddies, but a 45-70 year old mature adult will buy this up and love it. Convenient and practical and familiar for most of the buyers. All these new fancy technologies make newer vehicles depreciate quick for a reason.
@@_dmfd Being 62 and having worked a career in auto tire and service, I have a distinctly different outlook than many folks on what impresses me in a car or truck. Big fragile wheels/tires and infotainment system centered reviews don't do it for me. At least these Redline reviews are not overweighted on the info tech stuff.
@@robertchandler2573 I completely understand and it seems you fit in the demographic I was speaking. Although I am 24, and do appreciate modern technologies - I care way more about reliability and day to day performance. I grew up thru the 90's and 2000's before every car was as advanced as they are today, and appreciate a modern style without all the crazy amenities. While GPS, lane keep, AWD, and other safety tech I feel is a necessity in today's vehicles, the other stuff I dont see spending all the extra money on. It hurts resale value the more you add, and is almost guaranteed to break. Excessive Electronics are nice, but they wear out so fast. I drive a 2014 Chevy Malibu LTZ V6, my girlfriend drives a 2012 Kia Forte5 SX, and even those can be overwhelming with tech for people who aren't as inclined as others. I drove my buddies 2019 Audi RS3 the other day, and I am very inclined with modern tech, but I was even overwhelmed by all the distractions that car had while driving. Its very reminiscent of what Lincoln was doing with their last generation of Town Cars. Great, big, body on frame full size estate sedans that were equipped well enough for the time, but were targeting a mature or elderly demographic. Extremely user friendly and extremely reliable, at a decent price for the time. Not too mention the cost of cars now a days. Especially American made. A vehicle is a tool for your life, and I might think differently than most at my age, but I'd rather keep a car as long as possible and have it be as reliable as possible thru its life, than spend 45k every 5-7 years just because I want what's new.
I also own a 2019 GX. What vehicle in that segment has incredible reliability, can tow, is body on frame, and a luxurious refined ride and interior. This one. It was an easy choice for me. The tech is dated but it works well and that was low priority on our list. I personally love the look, doesnt look like anything else out there.
Still one of the best trucks money can buy. For someone like me. Reliable, luxurious, bulletproof, insane build quality. I love the old school trucks from Toyota and Lexus
@@mybro727 lol you mean your brainwashed bro. Let me guess you only like bmw and Mercedes etc... I own a bmw and had a Mercedes and also have a gx460. Trust me this build quality shits on bmw if you think otherwise YOU are brainwashed. “You people” are stupid
I like it too, but Lexus's is the ugliest version of it. Really like Mazdas, Lincoln, and and most European style ones. Basically the ones that are boxy or trapezoidal.
it kills me every time Sofyan says 4Runner(foreigner) lol. At this point I think he's just trolling, which is hilarious, but I'm so looking forward to his 2020 Toyota Foreigner review just to read the comments
We just traded in our 2016 for the 2019 as this is the last year before they get ride of the V8 and mess it up. We love this thing which has been the Most Reliable Vehicle in the US for 4 years in a row. Our friend have a BMW that has been in the shop several times and another has the MB GLE and electronics are messed up. This thing is bullet proof and so smooth on long distances. It also keeps it value better than any other SUV in its class. The only thing I wish it has was Apple CarPlay and the turn signal you spoke about. We average almost 20mpg on highway.
Separate opening glass is a super handy feature I use all the time. I have a 2010 Ford Escape. I know a couple that has a GX. She does a short commute with it and they use it to tow on the weekends. It’s a true truck, not a crossover.
I believe these SUV's ( although getting refreshed for 2020 ) are still relevant in Lexus' line up for two major reasons. One is depreciation. These SUV's hold onto their value for as long as this truck will run. Modern cars depreciate so fast because they are loaded with new designs and technologies that are not very reliable after 5-7 years. Small placement turbo 4's and 6's are just not as reliable as a solid, naturally aspirated version. Yea, the V8 is not very economical, but it will run longer than any of us here. For two, the people interested in these vehicles are generally mature adults with grandkids. 85% of grandparents buying cars today were in their prime buying age in the mid to late 2000's. The technologies ( lack there of ) are familiar to them and do not overwhelm a general consumer. Yes, this vehicle is very reminiscent of 2006-2012, though it is easy and reliable for the mass that is purchasing this vehicle that can comfortably haul their extended growing families around while they're being babysitter for the younger working adults. Like I said, I know a well off, 25 year old isn't gonna be buying this car to travel the country with his buddies, but this design has and still works great for " older " people ( not saying elderly ) hauling their family around knowing their car isn't losing the price a year that the X5 they could have purchased would be.
This video just popped up... I'm a well off 23 year old that bought a Lux 17 for the exact reason you said a 25yo wouldn't want to 🤣🤣 I can appreciate everything inside while recognizing it's shortcomings without letting those compromise my appreciation for the vehicle. I love lexus, this one's my fifth and first SUV. Tried ES, GS, LS, and even RC most recently but riding around in a high clearance 4wd SUV is needed now that I've moved up north... I just found your comment amusing. Hope you find mine as well.
Awww come on you were hating on the GX on this review. You didn’t mention how capable it is in bad weather and trails. This is the truck you would want if Armageddon came. When all of these other vehicles are in the junkyard the Lexus will still be going strong. But I do agree it’s time for a refresh. Anyways great informative and entertaining review as usual.
@@wildk5367 unfortunately for Lexus there are many other safe and practical SUVs out there. People spending 70K on an SUV like reliability, but they are not going to purchase something that is a dinosaur they would rather buy a car that might be slightly less reliable but will be much more presentable.
A Commentator I know someone that doesn’t like the small interiors that cars provide, everyone is different. In America/Canada where there are huge trucks driving around all the time, it safer to be in a suv like this than a car that would get run over. Both have preventative measures, but if your caught in an accident your safer in a big suv
We just purchased the midnight blue color with nebula grey interior. We love it. It rides so smooth and it gets the looks from everyone. We are very happy...
*Holy crapppp* This 2019 GX has the SAME infotainment as my uncle's 2006 Toyota Highlander Hybrid... that is mind blowing - I was like 7 when they bought that Highlander
You either get the GX or you don't. I have owned 2 and may be owning a third soon. Outside of heavy off-road/rocks this will get you just about anywhere you want to go.. very comfortably. It is also a very good base platform for a serious off-roader if you have the $ to spare.
s50201 from I heard it’s gonna look like a baby LX570. For example new front bumper, headlights, and taillights. Upgrade dashboard with new screen similar to LX570. CarPlay, Android Auto. It’s just like they did to LX570 back in 2016 which look 10 times better
I agree with Sofian on 2 points. 1. Improve the fuel economy more since people don't buy them for power as fuel price is volatile. 2. Many upgrades nowadays are software related & that can be easily integrated in the infortainment system. Bulletproof yeah but I'd take a naturally aspirated engine over any turbos.l just for reliability.
I really like this new format. With the footage while you speak at the same time. Feels like your video has an even better production value than usual.
For anybody who complains about a V6 in 4Runner, this is a very great luxury off-roader, also built around the similar platform & dimensions to 4Runner.
My family are big fans of Toyota and Lexus. We have had a Lexus GX since 2005. It still rides well, although it's getting old so inspections are obviously pricier. We love the GX then and we still love it now. It's a good family luxury car, if you only have 4 people sitting in there for long periods of time :)
I absolutely love the Lexus GX 460. It may not be the most technologically avant-garde product on the market but it has bulletproof reliability. It still manages to retain understated luxury coupled with off road prowess. The absolute only luxury car brand I’d consider would be Lexus. The rest can’t compare to Lexus reliability.
This looks like the Lexus that your grandfather bought when he retired from his job with the power company 12 yrs ago after 30 years of service as a gift to himself and he has kept it in mint condition because everyone knows grandpa Peter doesn’t allow eating or drinking in his New / old 2007 Lexus GX
Such a great truck. You should have took this opportunity to focus on the strengths and not It being older which is obvious Love that V8 engine even tho it’s not efficient. The engine is very smooth and punchy. Very strong long lasting vehicle great buy it you want something long term. Not to mention it will drive anywhere in ANY weather. Ride is really smooth also I remember driving the older one.
f181234 actually they do. Quick google search you will see a ton kitted in off road gear and they look badass. Beside even if the Onwer doesn’t take I off Road that’s a great peace of mind to have knowing you will never get stuck
30,000 people bought it last year because they used their head and not their heart. It's a luxurious SUV that works ALL the time and stays out of the workshop unlike its European counterparts.
I would honestly say that if Lexus still offered it with this bodystylw now, I would go ahead and buy it. I love the design, it is timeless, and it's just a luxurious vehicle that will last year decades if you treat it well. This GX is proven.
Reasons to take this over a BMW X5 or Volvo XC90? Umm let's see...you can take this to a fancy restaurant with your date and afterwards go off roading for some entertainment. After the two of you hit it off and get married and have children and your kid turns 18 you can pass on your "old" GX460 to little Sarah who is all grown up now and heading off to Stanford. Let's see you do that with a XC90 or X5.
@@ronin120 BMW is way better than Lexus that's why he doesn't complain about them. This is a 2020 car with a 20 year old platform, 30 year old interior and 40 year old exterior
Body on frame, truck SUV. Buttery smooth, comfortable, quiet and bulletproof. Sold! Gonna pick up a 2019-2020 LCertified this week or next. Wife already has a RX350L, so we have the wimpy car based crossover covered. 😉
It's true that you can get an XC90 or a BMW M5 instead but in 10 years the GX will still work perfectly and still be worth something while the Volvo and the BMW will be worthless and broken.
I have a 2012 gx460 which has a icon lift. I love it and great for offroad. The reliability on bmw, volvo, and audi suck. The mercedes is not bad but it does not have body on frame. Great videos brother, keep making them and I will keep watching them.
Despite everything..this vehicle is still bulletproof and will be very reliable in the future whenever he’s done praising these new vehicles that are all tech and no substance. It could definitely use some updates but sure enough it still embodies what people are supposed to look for in car which is quality and reliability BUILT TO LAST.
The reliability comments are played out on every Lexus video. I get that Toyota/Lexus is conservative to keep higher reliability, but if I'm paying this much it gets to a certain point where I'd sacrifice some reliability for something I really enjoy. Although reliability is important, I couldn't find myself to put up with such an outdated interior/exterior on such a new and expensive automobile.
Reliability SHOULD NEVER BE PLAYED OUT when investing thousands of dollars into a car. Cars are investments. I’d rather spend more up front for something that’s gonna save me more money down the line than something that’s expensive as hell up front and down the line. QUALITY AND RELIABILITY equals money. A good 70% of the features tech wise that they put in cars today many blue collar families don’t care about nor do they have patience to try to figure it all out. Families buy these so they can be given down the line and reliable for years to come. These cars are given to children and grandchildren for a REASON. Whenever you start sacrificing reliability and tech for something that can change the ambient lighting to your “Mood” and you can talk to like Siri you’re in trouble. I never said it didn’t need updates I’m just saying at the end of the day it’s bulletproof versus things like BMWs. Anyone who knows ANYTHING about cars knows how some luxury brands are poster children for tech and no long term reliability without paying A lot more down the line.
Savannah G First, a car isn’t an investment. It’s a depreciating asset. Second, if all you’re after is an appliance to get you from point A to B, then sure reliability may be the only factor. However, most modern cars(especially if you’re buying new) are very reliable. While some may see more electronics issues, very few will leave you stranded on the side of the road. Generally, since I enjoy the driving experience, I’d prefer something I actually want to drive, rather than just picking the Lexus purely because of reliability. Don’t shit on me, I’m a fan of Lexus, but it’s annoying how Lexus to gets a free pass on their bullshit “because reliability derp derp”. Have a nice day.
ezekiel1hen if you’re paying for years and years and potentially making this your car for years it is an investment. Between Gas, oil changes, car washes, brakes, all fluids etc. it is an investment. I never said they get a free pass at all. What I said was reliability is and should be far more important. And in reverse BMW and BENZ and FCA and other brands shouldn’t just get passes as good cars because they have the latest tech either since we’re going there. I openly admitted it needed some updates. What you’re missing is the overall formula is key for them. There is a reason why millions of them have been sold and continue to be sold. Now you have a nice day.
Savannah G no a car is not an investment at all unless you have some ridiculous rare model a car will always depreciate the moment you drive off the lot
hello, I own a gx 460 2010, I know that the car needs to update some things, but I tell you, in 9 years this car has only changed the oil and tires just that, it is very quiet on the road, it is comfortable and very, very reliable, I recommend them, there are many cars with more technology than lexus, but they are also more problematic, and in terms of resale value this lexus keeps the price very good.
What a train wreck. Look how snobby I am everyone! Nothing is good enough. He turns the shifter around to hide the wood saying I can't believe they delivered this thing to me with this wood showing, there, that's better, he turns it backwards and claims he fixed it. This guy cares mostly about looks and can't even get that right. Typical critic that can't build a thing but loves to be so disappointed at everyone's designs and mostly meaningless crap that no one cars about when buying a car. They should of done this, they should have done that, I"m so shocked and so disappointed, always having a bad hair day.
Nice review save for the constant "old" comments. As for the Volvo XC90 I have a friend who had nothing but problems with her 2017. Infotainment screen and dash would not come on or simply cease to function at random. Vehicle left her stranded with dead battery on multiple occasions and countless times the climate controls would go on the blink. Dealership had no idea of what was wrong with it. Ended up getting it lemon lawed but not before involving legal representation because the dealer would state "everything functions as intended" when that wasn't the case. She now has a Q7 that has been going strong with zero complaints.
I have a 2012 gx460 and the stock springs does not ride very well. However, I have Icon lift which makes the ride so much better. The handling feels better. Picked up this for the purpose of offroading and overlanding.
I have a 2010 Lexus RX350 with 110, 000 km. (68,000 miles). I am 70 yrs. old. I have a strong feeling it will outlast me. That's how reliable Lexus vehicles are.
I have to admit that I did not appreciate your attitude with this review. I am not blasting you; this is just an observation. I like this car/truck I am waiting for the new version. You repeated yourself too much; this vehicle is going to appeal to a specific segment of the population; people love the reliability and the comfort of it. I want a V8 and I want to put premium gas in my tank, all the while sitting in the best view in town. Good job I can't wait for you to review the new one and I hope Lexus listens to you and makes the appropriate modifications.
In Europe you can take it with a 3.0 turbo diesel and 2 door and a manual transmission. If they would bring it here, would be awesome. Anyway, this car last forever, that’s why people buy it.
Awesome👍🏻👍🏻 2019 Lexus GX460 review. I like the GX460 but one thing I don’t like about it is that there is no apple CarPlay or Android Auto. I believe the 2020 has it.
@Jack Z yes lots of opinions/time on aesthethics and subjective stuff. Not as much facts and numbers. Have u looked at alex on autos? Less opinion and more presentation of the vehicle stats, class comparos, charts, etc.
Jack Z no this review is honest there’s no way Lexus or any other brands should be charging over $50k for an unchanged product literally from 2006 in 2019 that’s just pathetic and lazy
I like my 2016 GX460 sooooooooo much, no bother to even look at European ones - absolutely no interest. The next one still GX460, after 5 years+ ... If I consider how much I am going to save from repairs, the poor gas mileage can be totally ignored! .
You complained entire video about how old the GX is but people who have this in their shortlist are not looking at all “gimmicks” newer SUVs are offering over reliability and ride quality of this. Yes it’s old, yes it doesn’t have Apple car play, yes it doesn’t have all the gadgets and gimmicks that newer platform SUVs have, what the GX offers is that none of the ones you mentioned at the end of video can even come close to offer, 1st you can pay the high price tag for GX today and Gaurantee yourself a problem free ride for next twenty years that even your grand kids can drive while the other cars you mentioned are rotting in the junkyard, the 2nd reason anyone will buy this is because it’s based on land cruiser platform, it is a true off-road capable and can go places that X7, Xc90 and all those shiny new SUVs can even dream of.
I test drove this and the seats were not comfortable at all. They can do better. Also now I think about it the only reason why they are so reliable is because they don't change anything much so they are able to perfect it but we as fans are getting tired of the same thing.
The comfort and sport modes minimally effect ride comfort (although you will feel a bit of difference on a very bumpy road). But where you do notice the difference is in the steering response. In sport the KDSS suspension system (which you didn't even mention) keeps the vehicle more upright in turns, which IMO helps steering response. In comfort, the car has more body roll and is more floaty in turns. I think that's where your steering issues and need to slow down so much on ramps came from. I drive my gx in the middle setting, but in sport it actually feels very responsive for being a bit of a boat on the road.

People in the "old money" category didn't have the desire to flexing their wealth they didn't need recognition for their wealth.

Ryan Patel Agreed, accept there are some very expensive vehicles that appreciate in value. I never knew that. Tracy Morgan, the actor, purchased one of those types of vehicles for $1.5 million used.
@@caalcb7 it’s not about flexing, it’s just having a nice car with new technology and good performance like a Mercedes or BMW.
Despite the "shortcomings" of this Lexus, I would take it over any Range Rover.
I wouldn't
You can not compare this dinasour with a Range Rover. It produced 300HP from a 4.6 liter engine. Nowadays engines produce that horsepower from a 2 liter engine.
@kev j ignore this guy.
He’s an ultimate Toyota Lexus hater just because they are uncompetitive and boring
If you want to go on a Safari, drive a Range Rover. If you want to make it back, drive a Toyota. Enuff said. Go read up on Toyota Wars.

Except people who buy them keep them &/or use them so good luck finding a low mileage pre-owned in your market

Quality never goes out of style. This is the most reliable vehicle on the market.

Trying to decide between this and the 4Runner limited (2015 to 2018 model years). I love the look of the 4 Runner Limited.
@@ronin120 A 2015 GX and 4Runner Limited with the same mileage will be very close in price.
@@rightlanehog3151 any pros or cons for either one?
@@ronin120 The Lexus offers a higher level of power and luxury. If I was nitpicking I might say that the Premium fuel requirement for the Lexus might be a consideration but that is a very minor quibble for such a fine vehicle. Actual fuel mileage seems to be very close considering the power upgrade that comes with the GX. I suppose you might want to ask your insurance agent whether there is a large difference in insurance costs.
I’ve owned fourteen Lexus vehicles and I’m currently on my third GX. Love these SUV’s! I get 20mpg on the highway. Not too bad. They are bulletproof! I have the luxury version with all the bells and whistles including the 17 speaker Levinson system.
Ive owned 3 billion Lexus vehicles
2007 gx470 owner purchased used with 167k miles. Just hit 404k miles with only the timing belt replaced and got rid of the air suspension. I bet I could still sell this for more than any BMW, Volvo, or Merc with half the amount of miles. Not to mention it can out perform all of the aforementioned brands off-road any day of the week!
I completely agree. We have a 2006 and a 2010. Both solid and very off-road capable. They also pull our RV reliably. I have never seen the temp gauge move while towing. Uphill.
I have a 2016 that’s the same car, and I love it! Very squishy material leather, very comfy, reliable, and quiet! May not be the most up to date with technology, but I love it.
I know this Lexus is so very dated, but I've always found it charming and timeless. It looks like it belongs in a town's "old money neighborhoods." And I'm certain it would be reliable and comfortable 20 years from now. If I was in the market for an SUV in this price range, I'd give it serious consideration. Great review as usual!
Its not timeless at all.
It looks dated.
It drives dated.
Its dated.
Looks old af. I'd rather take a used BMW x5 which looks more modern than this pos.

Colin Flaherty Videos Daily I do my research and I know a lot them plus I make contents on my IS350. I've never heard of these problems. Like I said my parents drive nothing but Toyotas and never had any problems with them. Maybe you have bad luck with Toyota vehicles
@@SlowWhip Enough said no need to prove yourself to useless people.
As an owner of a 2015 GX and previous owner of a 2007 GX I can tell you exactly why it still moved 30k Units last year despite the aging design. 1) Ultra Low Depreciation Value 2) Reliability/Quality 3) Body on Frame (enough said) 4) Off-Road Capability vs. 4runner is better 5) The V8 . The GX offers things that make it outdated but a true SUV. SUV's like the Range Rover, X5, and Q7, and even the XC90 are beautiful but they will NEVER have the same value as this one and will never be as reliable. They are fun to drive but it's own right so is the GX. This thing is a tank and it will be around for years to come.
Love this truck. It’s so underestimated and under appreciated. It’s not a poser SUV. The luxury variant is the better option. Folks who buy this aren’t getting it for everyday 3rd row use. This doesn’t compete with crossovers it competes with GLE, X5... the 2020 will be out soon. The G wagon was just updated and was the oldest vehicle in the MB lineup but you journalists loved it. Why the complaints with Toyota?
Don't expect much from the 2020 model. Aim for the 2021-2022 model. 2020 is just another facelift based one the pics that have been leaked of it so far. New LED headlights, new grill, new steering and maybe a minor interior update, possible update to the infotainment if anything. It's a stopgap while they work on the all new one. The new one however is said to be like a baby LX, so that'll be something to look forward to.
Because this car has no personality.
@@Monkeyseemonkey79 That's a matter of opinion, I think. Being the owner of one myself I'd say it has plenty of personality. It's not iconic, I'll give you that. It won't stand out in the quirkiness department like a Volvo, or match the ultra-high tech experience of the German luxury SUVs. But it'll outlive them both and remain comfortable the entire time doing it. As the review says, it's really an experience in old-school stately luxury. And on top of that, it'll eat most other SUVs for breakfast off-road. It's essentially a luxury version of the same vehicle that's been a UN Peacekeeping staple for decades now, with a more powerful engine and better transmission. Properly prepared, it'll go anywhere, and will still outlive most of its peers. That in itself is a persona that stands out among its rivals. It'll just fulfill that persona while not being as fancy or RGB-LED-filled on the inside as a Mercedes :P
@@Monkeyseemonkey79 you prob think hondas have personality
2019 owner here. The low depreciation takes the sting out of the price. Those nice Volvos and BMW's can have soul destroying depreciation. An alignment that adds some caster angle makes it track much better.
Yea, this design has worked well for a while and does depreciate slowly. Also, buyers of these vehicles ( not saying you ) are generally older people with grandkids and within their prime buying ages were buying mid to late 2000's vehicles and are very used to these types of interior designs and is comfortable and easy for them to use. People bought 30,000 last year for a reason. Like I said, maybe a well off 25 year old isn't gonna buy this to travel the country with his buddies, but a 45-70 year old mature adult will buy this up and love it. Convenient and practical and familiar for most of the buyers. All these new fancy technologies make newer vehicles depreciate quick for a reason.
@@_dmfd Being 62 and having worked a career in auto tire and service, I have a distinctly different outlook than many folks on what impresses me in a car or truck. Big fragile wheels/tires and infotainment system centered reviews don't do it for me. At least these Redline reviews are not overweighted on the info tech stuff.
@@robertchandler2573 I completely understand and it seems you fit in the demographic I was speaking. Although I am 24, and do appreciate modern technologies - I care way more about reliability and day to day performance. I grew up thru the 90's and 2000's before every car was as advanced as they are today, and appreciate a modern style without all the crazy amenities. While GPS, lane keep, AWD, and other safety tech I feel is a necessity in today's vehicles, the other stuff I dont see spending all the extra money on. It hurts resale value the more you add, and is almost guaranteed to break. Excessive Electronics are nice, but they wear out so fast. I drive a 2014 Chevy Malibu LTZ V6, my girlfriend drives a 2012 Kia Forte5 SX, and even those can be overwhelming with tech for people who aren't as inclined as others. I drove my buddies 2019 Audi RS3 the other day, and I am very inclined with modern tech, but I was even overwhelmed by all the distractions that car had while driving. Its very reminiscent of what Lincoln was doing with their last generation of Town Cars. Great, big, body on frame full size estate sedans that were equipped well enough for the time, but were targeting a mature or elderly demographic. Extremely user friendly and extremely reliable, at a decent price for the time. Not too mention the cost of cars now a days. Especially American made. A vehicle is a tool for your life, and I might think differently than most at my age, but I'd rather keep a car as long as possible and have it be as reliable as possible thru its life, than spend 45k every 5-7 years just because I want what's new.
I also own a 2019 GX. What vehicle in that segment has incredible reliability, can tow, is body on frame, and a luxurious refined ride and interior. This one. It was an easy choice for me. The tech is dated but it works well and that was low priority on our list. I personally love the look, doesnt look like anything else out there.

Sofyan was definitely on his rag filming this video 😄
I love how Lexus designed this vehicle. It’s gorgeous in every angle. I just hope they will put a lift gate on it
Most people who get this truck care reliability. Not apple car play or android auto. All that is replaced with that amazing V8 sound.

We just traded in our 2016 for the 2019 as this is the last year before they get ride of the V8 and mess it up. We love this thing which has been the Most Reliable Vehicle in the US for 4 years in a row. Our friend have a BMW that has been in the shop several times and another has the MB GLE and electronics are messed up. This thing is bullet proof and so smooth on long distances. It also keeps it value better than any other SUV in its class. The only thing I wish it has was Apple CarPlay and the turn signal you spoke about. We average almost 20mpg on highway.

y'all bitch about anything. Its a car review lol
Agreed. Your old formula worked fine. Please stop trying to change things up.
I believe these SUV's ( although getting refreshed for 2020 ) are still relevant in Lexus' line up for two major reasons. One is depreciation. These SUV's hold onto their value for as long as this truck will run. Modern cars depreciate so fast because they are loaded with new designs and technologies that are not very reliable after 5-7 years. Small placement turbo 4's and 6's are just not as reliable as a solid, naturally aspirated version. Yea, the V8 is not very economical, but it will run longer than any of us here. For two, the people interested in these vehicles are generally mature adults with grandkids. 85% of grandparents buying cars today were in their prime buying age in the mid to late 2000's. The technologies ( lack there of ) are familiar to them and do not overwhelm a general consumer. Yes, this vehicle is very reminiscent of 2006-2012, though it is easy and reliable for the mass that is purchasing this vehicle that can comfortably haul their extended growing families around while they're being babysitter for the younger working adults. Like I said, I know a well off, 25 year old isn't gonna be buying this car to travel the country with his buddies, but this design has and still works great for " older " people ( not saying elderly ) hauling their family around knowing their car isn't losing the price a year that the X5 they could have purchased would be.
This video just popped up... I'm a well off 23 year old that bought a Lux 17 for the exact reason you said a 25yo wouldn't want to 🤣🤣 I can appreciate everything inside while recognizing it's shortcomings without letting those compromise my appreciation for the vehicle. I love lexus, this one's my fifth and first SUV. Tried ES, GS, LS, and even RC most recently but riding around in a high clearance 4wd SUV is needed now that I've moved up north... I just found your comment amusing. Hope you find mine as well.
Awww come on you were hating on the GX on this review. You didn’t mention how capable it is in bad weather and trails. This is the truck you would want if Armageddon came. When all of these other vehicles are in the junkyard the Lexus will still be going strong. But I do agree it’s time for a refresh. Anyways great informative and entertaining review as usual.
Soccer moms don't give a shit about that and that's who is buying this. Not offfroaders
A Commentator or people who want a daily driver? That is safe, reliable and practical
@@wildk5367 unfortunately for Lexus there are many other safe and practical SUVs out there. People spending 70K on an SUV like reliability, but they are not going to purchase something that is a dinosaur they would rather buy a car that might be slightly less reliable but will be much more presentable.
A Commentator I know someone that doesn’t like the small interiors that cars provide, everyone is different. In America/Canada where there are huge trucks driving around all the time, it safer to be in a suv like this than a car that would get run over. Both have preventative measures, but if your caught in an accident your safer in a big suv
And also do you have any reccomendations on a daily driver suv?
all my lexus truck n suv lasts hundreds thousand of miles. my x5 GL range rover loves visit dealership every year
Buying a 2022. We like the basic nature of this truck. 40 years old here and I prefer buttons over one giant screen
I love the GX460. I'd totally buy one in the future!
It's amazing. We have a 2010 gx and interior is the exact same layout. They just revealed 2020 gx and interior still basically the exact same!
We just purchased the midnight blue color with nebula grey interior. We love it. It rides so smooth and it gets the looks from everyone. We are very happy...
*Holy crapppp* This 2019 GX has the SAME infotainment as my uncle's 2006 Toyota Highlander Hybrid... that is mind blowing - I was like 7 when they bought that Highlander
You either get the GX or you don't. I have owned 2 and may be owning a third soon. Outside of heavy off-road/rocks this will get you just about anywhere you want to go.. very comfortably. It is also a very good base platform for a serious off-roader if you have the $ to spare.
Good review Sofyan! You channel makes me care about cars I would never think about.
Shifter was actually delivered to you properly with the wood facing the passengers.
brorowcarwiz I noticed mine changes the direction based off being in park and drive.. kind of weird
Mine is wood forward...

This is a major refresh coming for 2020 GX460. It should be out this fall.
Not major. New headlights which look worse, athat's pretty much it. Interior is almost exactly the same.
s50201 that’s what I was afraid of
@@s50201 Yeah, That is what I really really hate about the new 2020 GX.
s50201 from I heard it’s gonna look like a baby LX570. For example new front bumper, headlights, and taillights. Upgrade dashboard with new screen similar to LX570. CarPlay, Android Auto. It’s just like they did to LX570 back in 2016 which look 10 times better
@@SlowWhip I hope so.
I agree with Sofian on 2 points. 1. Improve the fuel economy more since people don't buy them for power as fuel price is volatile. 2. Many upgrades nowadays are software related & that can be easily integrated in the infortainment system. Bulletproof yeah but I'd take a naturally aspirated engine over any turbos.l just for reliability.
I really like this new format. With the footage while you speak at the same time. Feels like your video has an even better production value than usual.
Reliability. These cars are bulletproof
My mom has the Prado in Dominican Republic ,its her third one,great car and reliable, yes interior is old looking,but the quality is unmatched.
For anybody who complains about a V6 in 4Runner, this is a very great luxury off-roader, also built around the similar platform & dimensions to 4Runner.
When this vehicle hits 1 million miles and everything else is in the landfill none of this matters.
Bahahaha I love your reviews. Seriously so enjoyable to watch and you are utterly honest-folks like us need that! Thank you 🙏🏼
My family are big fans of Toyota and Lexus. We have had a Lexus GX since 2005. It still rides well, although it's getting old so inspections are obviously pricier. We love the GX then and we still love it now. It's a good family luxury car, if you only have 4 people sitting in there for long periods of time :)
I absolutely love the Lexus GX 460. It may not be the most technologically avant-garde product on the market but it has bulletproof reliability. It still manages to retain understated luxury coupled with off road prowess. The absolute only luxury car brand I’d consider would be Lexus. The rest can’t compare to Lexus reliability.
This looks like the Lexus that your grandfather bought when he retired from his job with the power company 12 yrs ago after 30 years of service as a gift to himself and he has kept it in mint condition because everyone knows grandpa Peter doesn’t allow eating or drinking in his New / old 2007 Lexus GX
By doing all of that he gave himself a really nice gift to have throughout his retirement.
Smart Guy!
My pet peeve is that shiny wood trim! I loathe it so much and am so glad that more cars are doing a chrome or matte interior trimming.
Such a great truck. You should have took this opportunity to focus on the strengths and not It being older which is obvious
Love that V8 engine even tho it’s not efficient. The engine is very smooth and punchy. Very strong long lasting vehicle great buy it you want something long term. Not to mention it will drive anywhere in ANY weather. Ride is really smooth also I remember driving the older one.
Toyota4Life these will never see any off-roading
f181234 actually they do. Quick google search you will see a ton kitted in off road gear and they look badass. Beside even if the Onwer doesn’t take I off Road that’s a great peace of mind to have knowing you will never get stuck
30,000 people bought it last year because they used their head and not their heart. It's a luxurious SUV that works ALL the time and stays out of the workshop unlike its European counterparts.
I would honestly say that if Lexus still offered it with this bodystylw now, I would go ahead and buy it. I love the design, it is timeless, and it's just a luxurious vehicle that will last year decades if you treat it well. This GX is proven.
Reasons to take this over a BMW X5 or Volvo XC90? Umm let's see...you can take this to a fancy restaurant with your date and afterwards go off roading for some entertainment. After the two of you hit it off and get married and have children and your kid turns 18 you can pass on your "old" GX460 to little Sarah who is all grown up now and heading off to Stanford. Let's see you do that with a XC90 or X5.
Old school platform & engine but still looks nice inside & out Also very capable off road & reliable Nice video review on old school vehicles

Been waiting for this for a long time 🤗
I cant decide if I want the GX to be redesigned or not. I say that because this is one of the if not best Mid-Size SUV. Especially when it is used.
Body on frame, truck SUV. Buttery smooth, comfortable, quiet and bulletproof. Sold! Gonna pick up a 2019-2020 LCertified this week or next. Wife already has a RX350L, so we have the wimpy car based crossover covered. 😉
I think he meant they're becoming less common but a dime a dozen means they're too common. 🤔
I like the Landcruiser 150 Prado variant of this truck more
*Bleeps the first “shit”* *doesn’t bleep second “shit”* lmao
It's true that you can get an XC90 or a BMW M5 instead but in 10 years the GX will still work perfectly and still be worth something while the Volvo and the BMW will be worthless and broken.
You don't buy bmw or Volvo. You lease them!!!!
And they will all be in a junk yard while the Lexus is just getting broken in!!!
I have a 2012 gx460 which has a icon lift. I love it and great for offroad. The reliability on bmw, volvo, and audi suck. The mercedes is not bad but it does not have body on frame.
Great videos brother, keep making them and I will keep watching them.
A bit of misinformation but you hit most of the main points. This truck gives me more confidence on the road with peace of mind
Despite everything..this vehicle is still bulletproof and will be very reliable in the future whenever he’s done praising these new vehicles that are all tech and no substance. It could definitely use some updates but sure enough it still embodies what people are supposed to look for in car which is quality and reliability BUILT TO LAST.
The reliability comments are played out on every Lexus video. I get that Toyota/Lexus is conservative to keep higher reliability, but if I'm paying this much it gets to a certain point where I'd sacrifice some reliability for something I really enjoy. Although reliability is important, I couldn't find myself to put up with such an outdated interior/exterior on such a new and expensive automobile.
Reliability SHOULD NEVER BE PLAYED OUT when investing thousands of dollars into a car. Cars are investments. I’d rather spend more up front for something that’s gonna save me more money down the line than something that’s expensive as hell up front and down the line. QUALITY AND RELIABILITY equals money. A good 70% of the features tech wise that they put in cars today many blue collar families don’t care about nor do they have patience to try to figure it all out. Families buy these so they can be given down the line and reliable for years to come. These cars are given to children and grandchildren for a REASON. Whenever you start sacrificing reliability and tech for something that can change the ambient lighting to your “Mood” and you can talk to like Siri you’re in trouble. I never said it didn’t need updates I’m just saying at the end of the day it’s bulletproof versus things like BMWs. Anyone who knows ANYTHING about cars knows how some luxury brands are poster children for tech and no long term reliability without paying A lot more down the line.
Savannah G First, a car isn’t an investment. It’s a depreciating asset. Second, if all you’re after is an appliance to get you from point A to B, then sure reliability may be the only factor. However, most modern cars(especially if you’re buying new) are very reliable. While some may see more electronics issues, very few will leave you stranded on the side of the road. Generally, since I enjoy the driving experience, I’d prefer something I actually want to drive, rather than just picking the Lexus purely because of reliability. Don’t shit on me, I’m a fan of Lexus, but it’s annoying how Lexus to gets a free pass on their bullshit “because reliability derp derp”. Have a nice day.
ezekiel1hen if you’re paying for years and years and potentially making this your car for years it is an investment. Between Gas, oil changes, car washes, brakes, all fluids etc. it is an investment. I never said they get a free pass at all. What I said was reliability is and should be far more important. And in reverse BMW and BENZ and FCA and other brands shouldn’t just get passes as good cars because they have the latest tech either since we’re going there. I openly admitted it needed some updates. What you’re missing is the overall formula is key for them. There is a reason why millions of them have been sold and continue to be sold. Now you have a nice day.
Savannah G no a car is not an investment at all unless you have some ridiculous rare model a car will always depreciate the moment you drive off the lot
hello, I own a gx 460 2010, I know that the car needs to update some things, but I tell you, in 9 years this car has only changed the oil and tires just that, it is very quiet on the road, it is comfortable and very, very reliable, I recommend them, there are many cars with more technology than lexus, but they are also more problematic, and in terms of resale value this lexus keeps the price very good.
Since when is wood trim old school lmao it’s only in damn near every luxury vehicle to date. I can’t even watch this video. Haters will hate smh.
Randy Carlisle wood trim belongs in the 70s and 80s
What a train wreck. Look how snobby I am everyone! Nothing is good enough.
He turns the shifter around to hide the wood saying I can't believe they delivered this thing to me with this wood showing, there, that's better, he turns it backwards and claims he fixed it. This guy cares mostly about looks and can't even get that right. Typical critic that can't build a thing but loves to be so disappointed at everyone's designs and mostly meaningless crap that no one cars about when buying a car. They should of done this, they should have done that, I"m so shocked and so disappointed, always having a bad hair day.
Nice review save for the constant "old" comments. As for the Volvo XC90 I have a friend who had nothing but problems with her 2017. Infotainment screen and dash would not come on or simply cease to function at random. Vehicle left her stranded with dead battery on multiple occasions and countless times the climate controls would go on the blink. Dealership had no idea of what was wrong with it. Ended up getting it lemon lawed but not before involving legal representation because the dealer would state "everything functions as intended" when that wasn't the case. She now has a Q7 that has been going strong with zero complaints.
Volvo=no.
@@aeroloco4352 it was lemon
Btw the sensor on the steering wheel is what’s used to monitor your eyes while driving. The driver alert system.
I have a 2012 gx460 and the stock springs does not ride very well. However, I have Icon lift which makes the ride so much better. The handling feels better. Picked up this for the purpose of offroading and overlanding.
I have a 2010 Lexus RX350 with 110, 000 km. (68,000 miles). I am 70 yrs. old. I have a strong feeling it will outlast me. That's how reliable Lexus vehicles are.
I have to admit that I did not appreciate your attitude with this review. I am not blasting you; this is just an observation. I like this car/truck I am waiting for the new version. You repeated yourself too much; this vehicle is going to appeal to a specific segment of the population; people love the reliability and the comfort of it. I want a V8 and I want to put premium gas in my tank, all the while sitting in the best view in town. Good job I can't wait for you to review the new one and I hope Lexus listens to you and makes the appropriate modifications.
You buy that because it will be more reliable than anything else on the road
In Europe you can take it with a 3.0 turbo diesel and 2 door and a manual transmission. If they would bring it here, would be awesome. Anyway, this car last forever, that’s why people buy it.
Awesome👍🏻👍🏻 2019 Lexus GX460 review.
I like the GX460 but one thing I don’t like about it is that there is no apple CarPlay or Android Auto.

This is the perfect year and spec for me
The GX is a amazing SUV it is the 4runners big brother. Will be my next car for sure.
I have the 470. It's quiet, comfy, no problems. It's waaaaaaay nicer than he makes it sound.
@Jack Z and obsessed with LED lights. Lol no not too new. I first came across his channel when i was shopping for a car early last year.
@Jack Z yes lots of opinions/time on aesthethics and subjective stuff. Not as much facts and numbers. Have u looked at alex on autos? Less opinion and more presentation of the vehicle stats, class comparos, charts, etc.
Jack Z no this review is honest there’s no way Lexus or any other brands should be charging over $50k for an unchanged product literally from 2006 in 2019 that’s just pathetic and lazy
That key fob came out in 2006🤔..btw, i think you used the word “old”about 30 times
He is a liberal , they don’t have much vocabulary in the big city.
I have always liked this vehicle. And they still sale a lot of them
The shifter was in the right position when it was delivered to you by Lexus, the leather portion faces towards the HVAC controls.
I think lane departure is a cool feature. Thanks for posting.
...... I just don't understand the decisions that companies make... 🤦🏾♂️
Why does this car have 2 projectors for each headlight ? I don't think I've ever seen that.
@@MiguelRPD there are many with such configuration. See the old Escalade Platinum. I think its got 4/5 per headlight
Miguel Angel Medina Rise lots of older 2000s SUVs have that you can really tell this is from 2005
@@MiguelRPD well the new Acura have like 4 beams of LEDs in a line as headlights
@@VaunShiz those are reflector type though not 4 projectors.
You could literally bring this suv back in time and no one would notice it’s a newer car lol
Still the highest quality SUV made behind the full size Land Cruiser derivatives.
I like my 2016 GX460 sooooooooo much, no bother to even look at European ones - absolutely no interest. The next one still GX460, after 5 years+ ...
If I consider how much I am going to save from repairs, the poor gas mileage can be totally ignored!
.
I like the integrated dash look but the dash on the new Lexus RXs look so much better
The infotainment system looks like my 2007 Lexus LS460 lol
You complained entire video about how old the GX is but people who have this in their shortlist are not looking at all “gimmicks” newer SUVs are offering over reliability and ride quality of this. Yes it’s old, yes it doesn’t have Apple car play, yes it doesn’t have all the gadgets and gimmicks that newer platform SUVs have, what the GX offers is that none of the ones you mentioned at the end of video can even come close to offer, 1st you can pay the high price tag for GX today and Gaurantee yourself a problem free ride for next twenty years that even your grand kids can drive while the other cars you mentioned are rotting in the junkyard, the 2nd reason anyone will buy this is because it’s based on land cruiser platform, it is a true off-road capable and can go places that X7, Xc90 and all those shiny new SUVs can even dream of.
Ha, noticed you turned the music volume down while you spoke. Much better and much appreciated.
I test drove this and the seats were not comfortable at all. They can do better. Also now I think about it the only reason why they are so reliable is because they don't change anything much so they are able to perfect it but we as fans are getting tired of the same thing.
Key fob in use since 1998
Jane Dogh - More like 2006, but okay.
old outdated boring car but selling quite well. People are not dumb. Should be some reasons. Never trust ads. Number talks.
Progress? Our ‘59 Cadillac made 300 hp. 5000 lbs. 12/18 mpg.
Very nostalgic car for some reason
The comfort and sport modes minimally effect ride comfort (although you will feel a bit of difference on a very bumpy road). But where you do notice the difference is in the steering response. In sport the KDSS suspension system (which you didn't even mention) keeps the vehicle more upright in turns, which IMO helps steering response. In comfort, the car has more body roll and is more floaty in turns. I think that's where your steering issues and need to slow down so much on ramps came from. I drive my gx in the middle setting, but in sport it actually feels very responsive for being a bit of a boat on the road.
