We own a 2010. It has 337,000 miles. It has been a maintenance nightmare. We had to put a set of plugs in it. 1 coil pack, a couple of sets of brakes and a radiator lol. We own that one, a 99 4Runner and a 2000 4Runner. We have 1.5 million miles between the three and change oil every 20,000 miles. We have never done one major repair. After you own one you will never go back.
The GX 460 is and will be legendary! It is bullet proof and still retain the Lexus design language which is conservative, incremental improvements, luxurious , refined and just works. The 2022-2023 model year had the redesigned infotainment which was the main selling point for me. I bought a 2023 GX 460 Luxury with Sport Desing Package and port installed tow hitch and a bunch of other goodies. I love this truck!
Yep -same here! I intentionally did not want a twin turbo GX 550 V6 in the first introduction year and the back orders for the 560 were at least 6 months or more! The GX 460 drives great - smooth, steady and quiet; if I wanted a sports car I would not have purchased an SUV! My highway mpg is 22-25 at 65 mph! This is a great vehicle that I’d now gone for 2024!
Bought my 2012 GX460 8 months ago. paid 23k and it had 97k miles. I do not regret trading in my 2014 Tacoma. The GX rides like a champ on and off road.
I see a '15 for $28k i know its unsurpassed refinement luxury & durability but I'm wondering if it has Adaptive Cruise, USB & Brake Hold if not that adds too much outdated elements with the poor fuel economy So I'll have to get the '17 Lexus RX350.... DARN

Yes, it is a really nice car, reliable and unobtrusive. I don't evenn think it's looking outdated. In general, until a few years ago i didn't have toyota and lexus on my screen. But recently, their design has improved nicely so that, in combination with the reliability and the fair prices, i am thinking about buying one as my next car. Thanks for doing the video, i appreciate your good work.
got a 2013 ES350 recently, ill never go back from lexus from this experience i imagine if you get one youll do the same they are amazing i dont even think the prices are that insane in the talks of ES cars and such
We own a 2010 Lexus gx460, a 99 4Runner and a 2000 4runner. We have 1.5 million miles between the 3 and have never had a valve cover off of any of them.

@@Karlkn You got a great deal congrats. I paid 29200 but ended up paying 3400 more for an extended warranty to 150k. Now Im not so sure I needed to have bought that lol.
@@highlanderNC-mr8fe If you feel like doing an upgrade. I purchased a new front grill assembly from Amazon or eBay, a 2021 will fit perfectly in place of the somewhat dated one on the 2017. TH-cam has at least one video walking you through it.
I love my 2014. It’s great on road and off road. It’s a total base model, no heated seats, no blind spot monitor, and no air suspension (which is great in my opinion)
Bought one a year ago. Loooove it! Interior is top notch, exterior is sexy af,love the third row, took it on a round trip from kansas city to san diego, up to san fran ,to colorado springs and back to kc 5500k mile trip.was a beast on pacific coast highway,on the hills of san fran and the mountains of colorado. Couldnt be happier,also checked before i Bought it for the "lean", mine does not have it. Also on highway its like riding on a cloud. Better than my ls430
Might mention some that i looked at had the kdss lean,so beware if buying from far away , u can actually tell from photos from the rear.its pretty obvious,just ask for lots of pics and dont let people know what ur looking for so they cant try an hide it
Yes our two are both outdated. We have a 2010 and a 2015. They have a combined 450,000 miles and have never seen the shop or very good maintenance for that matter.
Take the bear for a ride, to test out the rear window. 9L/100km(26mpg)? That’s a lot better than a 4runner, best I’ve ever seen interstate driving in a 4runner was 19mpg.
I bought a 2012 in 2021. It had 115K and looks like new. The GX has the bulletproof 4.6 and was built in Japan by the very best factory (also built FJ Cruisers}. Mine doesn't have the air suspension but the only other option wanted but is missing is the heated steering wheel. What a great vehicle! Highly recommended.
You have a 4 runner with a LeXUS qualtiy ride and body.. and YEs- they will go where JEEPS won't. especially if you install lockers in front and rear..
I bought a 2016 with 42K miles on it earlier this year. Paid premium price given the mileage, but a 3rd of the cost of a new one and I've got a car that will be on the road in 10 to 20 years, maybe longer.
The things that you describe are the exact things that I want in a vehicle. Does it have the same room in the driver's seat as the sequoia? I'm a big guy, and I'm 6'3". I know the entire interior space is smaller than the sequoia. I'm specifically asking about the driver's seat
I PREFER the stick to change 4w modes-- hate BUTTONS and switches for anything like that. LIKE the buttons for function control for interior stuff. LOVE the barn door.. and the timing CHAIN...
Well, try out the new GX 550 and then make your decision ! Be aware that only the new GX 550 Trail Edition has the KDSS. The new GX 550 interior is less plush than gnf GX 460 if that matters to you! The new model will undergo inevitable upgrades too as feedback comes in from customers!
I have one with ONLY 37300 miles... I am looking to sell and buy new one. Mine's a 2015 with Pearl white (as shown) with Ecru. It's the LUXURY top of the line model with every option out there. Also.. I just got brand new tires which are also top of line Michelins. Always garaged and looks in showroom condition. Also has the real semi aniline leather.
@@Ethan_A168 Vehicle is in Dallas, TX. where are you located. This vehicle is a clean title and everything is perfect. we already have a tradein offer of 42000 after two local deaklers ran chcks on it.
That front end IS BUTT UGLY- period.. But if I get one- I'll be cutting the bottom half of it off- for a special bumper with winch etc.. that is MADE to replace that part..
Just picked up a 2015 with 51k on the dash today. Haven’t ever had a Lexus before, but driving it home it felt right. Happy to see this

I wish I could go back in time and buy one of these instead of my Audi!!! These suvs last over 400K miles with no major issues I see them everywhere
As a long time multiple Lexus owner, I'm taking delivery of one of these in 6 days that has just 79K on the clock and couldnt be more excited!

You can tell that the reviewer is proud of this SUV. You sold me on this. Thank you.
Not possible to even consider it overpriced when it will last two to three times longer than any other comparable truck..
Doing a customers at work for front suspension and has really turned me onto it beautiful vehicle
I want your GX. Specifically yours. The color, trim, condition is exactly what I'm looking for when I buy mine.

no problems with the big grill if you chop the lower half off to improve approach angles ;)

Very good review.🤛🏽

The "hey look its a bear" do. So casual, so as a matter of a fact, I would of been so out of there.
Only issue is no one told me about the coolant valley leak flaw Lexus won’t recall

Can I ask where you drove and got the 9/100km, is that over the Coquihalla by chance? What sort of tires was it riding on ?
It was on Hwy 1 through the Fraser Canyon and back, on all season tires, and the engine was eco mode.
@@WestVanGarage not bad, I’m originally from BC, I get as low as 6L/100 with my 2021 Prado here in Australia with their latest diesel
Do you experience the kdss lean ?
Great reiview! Creepy artifact 00:39-00:40.
haha don't worry, that was a mosquito on the camera lens.
9L/100km? Really? Grandmaing my ‘23 GX the closest I could get is 10.5L on the highway using cruise control at 115kmph
Get the K&N air filter! I am getting 22-25 mpg at 65 mph!
what is that ghost shows at 45sec ?
Do you sell this car now? I want to buy it. It is my dream car. I want a second-hand one.
I have one with ONLY 37300 miles... I am looking to sell and buy new one. Mine's a 2015 with Pearl white (as shown) with Ecru.

What is the deal with me hearing the Lexus GX 460 is leaning to the right side. There is an entire forum about this.
It’s a republican car. 🚗
Possibly failing KDSS
Its a lean that 4 runner an gx460 have. Ive seen u can fix it by replacing a spring and something else
We have one with no lean
Can u get away with 89 octane?
….maybe, yet premium is recommended.
FYI, 9L/100km = about 26mpg. I don’t think this result is accurate.
We have one. We average 20 on interstate at 70mph
that front grill is so hideous! The rest is fine
The cockroach reference 🤣
That front end IS BUTT UGLY- period.. But if I get one- I'll be cutting the bottom half of it off- for a special bumper with winch etc.. that is MADE to replace that part..
