    No, it's not fully redesigned yet, but Lexus promises to expect that model next year, along with a new 4Runner as well. Until then, those of you who must have this brand new old truck will at least enjoy the new 10.3" infotainment system. Would you spend $70k on this over something a lot more modern and car-like?

    I’ve had the 22 Lexus GX 460 (luxury package) for 3 months now. Traded my 4Runner TRD PRO. I absolutely love this vehicle for many reasons. Made in Japan and built solid. V8 engine with plenty of power (no twin turbo’s for me.)Tows 1500 lbs more than the 4Runner. Very comfortable seats with a quiet excellent ride. Love the new high resolution infotainment screen with Apple CarPlay. I drove it across country over the Rocky Mts and averaged 21.5 mpg and this vehicle is all time 4WD. Consumer Reports rated the new Lexus GX 460 the #1 most reliable vehicle overall this year.

      @@colinkennedy8523 I bought a 2022 GX for my parents. No regrets whatsoever! Great dealer experience. Undying reliability. No gimmicks. Far better option in my opinion than the counterparts from Mercedes, BMW, Audi which have newer tech but reliability is questionable at best. As an example, I have a 2015 MB S550 w/ ~55K miles (bought new) and a lot of the features (massage seats, blind spot, rear window shades) have stopped working. I still love the car as the powerplant is very stout
      but in hindsight I should have not weighed so heavily on the infotainment/features which become outdated in a span of 2-4 years.
      If you like the GX, its reliability, and the build quality - highly recommend it! You won't regret it.

      @@TruthFLA Well given the state of the world it wouldn't surprise me if gas prices keep going up and up for many years. And yeah I agree a battery will eventually need to be replaced (though it could be 10-15 years or longer from what others have said). Right now cost of basically everything is high. But I would bet the cost of battery replacement will come down over the next decade as more people switch to electric cars and more mechanics learn how to do the repairs outside of the manufacturers. So it'll get cheaper in the long run.
      If someone wants to ensure they'll be able to drive a car for 10 years I wouldn't recommend an electric car. Personally I'd sell those at year 5 when battery is still under warranty and the next buyer can get some decent use still.

    1) Your general critiques and nitpicks of this vehicle are just moot points. Wonder how much Hyundai/Genesis is paying you. The targeted audience for this truck is obviously older folks who buy it for long term, not to lease and then to hop onto another car. They don’t need the flashy technology. People buy Lexus to own because it gets the job done and could be dogged for 200k+ miles; and it has great resale price due to the engine reliability and brand. Why fix something that’s not broken?
    2) As for the truck not being flashy, you could literally spend like $20 to $30 on Amazon for ambient lighting and spend a couple more for flashy seat covers.
    3) The cargo room is abysmal, I give you that. Nonetheless, just drop the 3rd row seat down and store things. No one is going to sit comfortably back there anyways.
    4) This truck is a beast of a car that could off-road and handle rough terrain and weather. It’s not meant to be sporty, it’s meant to be a mini truck of a car.
    5) You do realize that The V8 allows this truck to drive at a high rpm without destroying its engine right? I’m assuming not because you criticized its 301 hp and praised other vehicles. Go ahead and break torque those v6 vehicles at a high rpm. You’ll end up yeeting them into a car mechanical shop.

WIll the new screen and new panoramic roof make my transmission fail? They dont update it because its a form of cost cutting and it works. I feel like im talking to a complete fools when i have conversations about Toyota/Lexus products. The only thing the talk about is reliability but they dont even know what actually make the vehicle reliable.

    I just purchased a 2023 GX460 premium for $55K + tax at a Lexus dealership with 10 miles on it and I’m very happy. Gas mileage isn’t great but so far that’s my only complaint. I traded in my 2018 Q7 towards it and I don’t miss it at all. Maintenance was getting expensive at 62K miles. This is Lexus number 5 for my wife and I and we will probably be staying Lexus after giving the Germans a shot.

    I bought a new 2019 GX after watching your review of THAT one (which you equally hated). It's a dinosaur gas hog that gets me COMFORTABLY where I want to go, and it will go through anything. Bullet proof reliability with a FULL SIZE spare. Of course, you'd recommend a BMW because it's faster and has better technology. Included in that "better technology" is a bunch of unnecessary stuff that will crap out if you own it for a while. Also, what will crap out FAST are the run flat tires, i.e. "self-fulfilling prophecy" of running flat (w/o a spare). Sure, you can limp 50 miles, but what if you're farther from town than that? One more thing... When you buy something as reliable as the GX, and all of a sudden there's a CHIP SHORTAGE... and you can't buy new vehicles at all, and used vehicles are selling for more than new... It doesn't freaking matter! You can drive one of these for 25 years if you need to. You're not suddenly needing a vehicle in a RIDICULOUS market. For the life of me, I'll never understand why you always play down the ROCK SOLID RELIABILITY factor. That's a HUGE factor for many people. I guess you're still young enough that you don't mind WALKING.
