Congrats on your purchase. I have a 23’ GX460 and absolutely love it. I’m a middle aged guy, so this vehicle is great for me. I’m not an off roader so keeping her pretty much stock. Cool video!
I have one and it’s in the shop at the moment, for the valley plate, trans seal, and transfer case reseal at at about 159k miles. All under warranty. Hopefully after the issues are fixed, the car can go for another 200k miles. Note I only had the car for 6months, so these issue were already occurring and were not fixed but the previous owner. I love the car and it’s my forever car so I think it’s worth it in the long runz
@@rujumbahermanjust got it back, everything resealed. I knew I had to do the maintenance some time sooner or later, but since it’s done the thought of it is out of my head so Time for mods! 😂
Hey I really enjoyed watching your video. Quick question - I drive 80 miles a day for work, would you say the GX is a bad idea considering the poor gas mileage? How is the gas mileage for you?
@@markm7435 I get around 16-17 mpg in mine so it's not great. Fuel mileage is probably the biggest drawback to the GX. If it were my money I would definately consider something better on gas. Unless you can't live without the other features of the GX. Maybe two cheaper vehicles would serve you better if you can deal with the logistics. A commuter with a nice stereo and good mpg, and a weekend adventure beater!
@@ParkinginflI don't run premium because I'm a cheap-ass and I havnt noticed any real MPG difference between the two. I have seen arguments for both sides. Lexus recommends premium but the Tundra with the nearly identical engine does not. For now I stick to my bonehead strategy.
@@unknown-cf9rd Thankfully my commute is short enough that fuel mileage/cost isn't a huge factor for me. I was willing to sacrifice fuel cost for all the features I wanted. Plus I'm willing to risk it running non-premium fuel. Enough other people have done it and the GX460 engine is close enough to the Tundra engine for me to feel confident doing it. Not to mention there aren't many 7 seat SUV's in my price range with significantly better MPG. It's really just the cost of a large, heavy, used vehicle.
Welcome to the GX Fam !! Let’s do a trail !!!

Congratulations
I realized these are about to hit 10k. My time to buy one. I'm trying to find an FJ Cruiser or maybe an early 5th gen 4Runner for under 10k.
@@FullsendOffroad If you can find a 5th gen for 10k that's not a pile I will be so impressed!
Very Beautiful SUV they known to last 500k if taken care well
Now I want one.
Do it.

Doesn't it require premium fuel also ?

Only down side is Fuel economy as it only uses 93 octane
What about premium fuel required, and V8 gas mileage? Did you consider that?
