I just drove from OKC - Shreveport in my new 2020 GX 460 Luxury. And all I can say is ... "Now, I get it". The best auto purchase of my life...and I'm 60. That was the smoothest most comfortable ride I ever experienced. Now I understand the cult following with this perfect perfect auto. On a sidenote...the ride was so quiet I noticed my tinnitus...lol
@@ryanbrown7240 I believe no active steering, just maybe lane monitoring/warning. The power steering is hydraulic so I doubt there's any steering assist that could be applied.
That is because they are just reviewers. Not real life owners with real experience. Quite frankly I'm getting tired of reviewers reading what we can already educate ourselves with and a 1 or 3 minute drive. Not worth my time.
Totally downplayed this vehicle. The actual DRIVING features are TOP OF THE LINE . We’ve owned Lexus, bmw and Mercedes. Nothing compares to our GX. Not only is it ridiculously safe (I’ve flipped 2x down onto train tracks with my kicks in tow and we weren’t seriously injured. Not even more than an er trip…the car held sturdy on the inside . THE DRIVE assist is SO GOOD! You can put your vehicle to drive at 75mph and never touch the gas pedal. It will slow and go as needed..great for travel families like ours. Lexus covers 98% of maintenance btw … I don’t know this review was really silly. Idk maybe I’m biased but there is so much more to the vehicle and why you should buy it .
In my country (Ghana 🇬🇭), it's a Toyota Land Cruiser Prado. When you see one on the streets, you know it's an ultra-rich middle-aged man in it. I've been driven in one before. It's super comfortable. It makes all bumps and potholes disappear, doesn't lean in corners and pulls like a freight train. It's not a super quick vehicle but you can rest assured it will keep accelerating if you keep your foot on the pedal.
This was the perfect vehicle for my parents as we off-road not very often or hard terrain but do in-fact go off the beaten path every now and then several benefits were -For one it’s a similar in size to their 2004 Tahoe SUV as more commonly nowadays 3 rows like the Tahoe have just gotten insanely massive and expensive even to park or pick up kids from school -The double pane front windows offer super quiet cabin very little to no road noise inside -it’s reliable and offers V8 with a 6speed not a V6 5speed like 4 Runner - it snows once in a while having AWD all time is just safer than 4WD Toyota twin -in the Used market they really are only a couple grand more than a 4Runner but I’ve noticed has more road presence, and feels much more premium we got it as a Certified Pre-Owned 2022 Premium Plus Package Red interior with only 2k miles on it for 8,000$ off sticker of a new one putting it at cheaper than a 4Runner with similar trim -very comfortable love the Updated steering wheel and infotainment center stack -The third row in a pinch applies in this situation -Tows more than the 4Runner overall very happy and pleased aside from sheer lick to have found the perfect one for them after 2 years looking for the right one who woulda guessed it’d be a new 2022 updated one
Right on Omar!! Great review. I'm at that age where I want comfort and reliability. We already own two 20+ year old Lexus's. This is a lot of bang for the buck with good old school reliability and built to last. I am going to have to test drive one of these.
Been a Lexus owner for over 10 years (RX 350 and RC 350). I'm also considering a 2019 Cadillac Escalade because we have a growing family, but not sure about it's reliability yet. Doing some research. Great video, thank you.
No doubt bro…u ain’t gotta tell me because I drive one…& man oh man this is one of the most smooth real time SUV 🤦🏾♂️ u just can’t get enough of it…& bro I have the 17 & I have the remote app on my luxury trim so I can do both app & key fob 😁
Hello Omar, I’ve seen your good videos, I wanted to ask you what you recommend more if I buy a Lexus GX Luxury 2023 or a Volvo XC 60 T8 Polestar 2023, I know you have reviews of both videos and I really wanted to know what you recommend, I have good impressions of both models and I know they are very different, but those two options are the ones I’m looking forward to get, thank you
By the way the 3rd row didn’t almost cop out they all do that it’s to set the backrest straight up to lean back and lean forward You release and press again they remain folding back down
Do you recommend this car even with the rising gas prices? Was in the market for an SUV and was in between this the RX450h and this GX460. Which would you chose and why?
If they would make them V4 dual Turbo or inline V6, I would get it tomorrow!!!!! No car on the planet is more reliable, comfortable, strong, Wisper quite like the GX. None out there. They simply run forever. Sadly, they will fade out. Lexus is using whatever they have left to get rid of them. It was a smart move to add the infotainment.
@@omardrives My friend bought one and we rode it and were surprised because it had choppy ride like my Ford. It is nice but it wasn't smooth. Will subscribe and wait for your review. Thanks.
RX is smoother ride then GX especially on a bumpy road for sure. If you compare to the truck maybe GX ride feel a little better. But for mpg and the cost it’s not worth it to buy new.

I just put an order in a couple of days ago. 4-5 month wait time, but I'm looking forward to it. Yeah it has its cons ( fuel mileage, old platform) but it's pros are awesome (old but RELIABLE platform, solid, comfortable, excellent offroad platform).
I got a 2022 myself. I usually lease but I love it enough to but it this time. The LX/LC twins are simply too expensive. I dont mind that its slow and thirsty. I just love how the whole car feels.
Yeah if all you’re doing is getting groceries and picking up the kids from soccer practice then yeah you do. Don’t attempt any off road adventures with the Genesis or most SUVs
Spending $1,000 a year for a German / English SUV out of warranty.....???? Are you insane? Try about $1K a month in repairs on the German and English junk. That's why they are basically free when they are out of warranty or getting close. No one with any sense wants to own one.
Handling is horrible seats are very hard gas hog wont steer straight on the road due to its tracking. To old school and to small for a family third row when up right leave no Space for storage or your groceries
It’s outdated if what you want is a smooth car like ride from a soccer mom mobile with off-roading limited to dirt roads and trips to the ski slopes then yeah it’s out dated. Only a serious off road enthusiast buys these. There is no aftermarket making winch bumpers and rock sliders for an Escalade, Audi Q7, Volvo XC90’s etc because they couldn’t handle the abuse this platform can.
@@stinkytofuz No it isn’t. It’s an outdated relic with a weak engine, dismal fuel economy, outdated interior, terrible handling, and the list goes on. For what most people use an SUV for everything else in the market is better. For the few that might take it off road there are still better options for the money. Yes it’s quality, but that’s where it’s advantages end.

Every reviewer forgets to mention the new additions for 2022 of: panoramic monitor, intelligent high beams, lane keep assist, radar cruise.
Panoramic monitor isn’t on the Black Line but everything else you mentioned is
Does it actually have Lane keep assist with active steering? We’re just laying monitoring because it seems to me that it only has the ladder.

The CD player is also a DVD player! I was quite surprised when i put in a DVD and it played! Only in park though.
A great, tough, reliable suv, just what I want.

They're also beasts off road and for that reason, if you see a white Prado, you know it's in the United Nations fleet.
Yup this is exactly the Land Cruiser Prado and they are extremely extremely smooth!
lol.. here in America 🇺🇸 if you own a GX460 it means you are too POOR to afford a full size Landcruiser 😆
@@LexusGX460-OFF-ROAD that or you’re too old for the bumpy 4Runner lol me
@@chuckderuyter the GX460 is fantastic off road! 🙌
I have the 2022 in Nori Green Black Line Edition it’s lit. It’s a true off roader.
Nori Green is such a 🔥 color! Congratulations
Can yoy switch it off it is it lit all time?
@@ennigmaa lol
How do you like it? Getting the black line edition in white
I don’t see this color or package on the website did they discontinue it?
This was the perfect vehicle for my parents as we off-road not very often or hard terrain but do in-fact go off the beaten path every now and then several benefits were
-For one it’s a similar in size to their 2004 Tahoe SUV as more commonly nowadays 3 rows like the Tahoe have just gotten insanely massive and expensive even to park or pick up kids from school
-The double pane front windows offer super quiet cabin very little to no road noise inside
-it’s reliable and offers V8 with a 6speed not a V6 5speed like 4 Runner
- it snows once in a while having AWD all time is just safer than 4WD Toyota twin
-in the Used market they really are only a couple grand more than a 4Runner but I’ve noticed has more road presence, and feels much more premium we got it as a Certified Pre-Owned 2022 Premium Plus Package Red interior with only 2k miles on it for 8,000$ off sticker of a new one putting it at cheaper than a 4Runner with similar trim
-very comfortable love the Updated steering wheel and infotainment center stack
-The third row in a pinch applies in this situation
-Tows more than the 4Runner overall very happy and pleased aside from sheer lick to have found the perfect one for them after 2 years looking for the right one who woulda guessed it’d be a new 2022 updated one
You can remote start with the key. Press lock button 3 times holding down the third click
You can remote start from remote and from the app with the GX.
Right on Omar!! Great review. I'm at that age where I want comfort and reliability. We already own two 20+ year old Lexus's. This is a lot of bang for the buck with good old school reliability and built to last. I am going to have to test drive one of these.
Appreciate that man 👍
Omar… your reviews are thorough and entertaining - dude, you’re the best 👏
Appreciate that a lot man 🙌
All Omar’s are legendary car reviewers 😊
Nice review! I have a 2023 GX460 Premium plus in Black on Black. Love it!
Looks like RX steering wheel love my 2015 Wish the rear window went all the way down like my old 4 Runner
Been a Lexus owner for over 10 years (RX 350 and RC 350). I'm also considering a 2019 Cadillac Escalade because we have a growing family, but not sure about it's reliability yet. Doing some research. Great video, thank you.
This is known as the Land Cruiser Prado where I’m from. It’s the exact same vehicle Lexus and Toyota use for different markets
I think the Lexus grill looks amazing.
Great video. No bs. Many details. Thanks.
Appreciate that 🙌
Very smooth engine.
Yup yup
It does have remote start apparently, lock button twice quickly then hold lock down a second or two
yup you're right! I'll have that the video of the new Lexus ES coming soon!
No doubt bro…u ain’t gotta tell me because I drive one…& man oh man this is one of the most smooth real time SUV 🤦🏾♂️ u just can’t get enough of it…& bro I have the 17 & I have the remote app on my luxury trim so I can do both app & key fob 😁
Thanks for that! Hope you’re enjoying your GX
It has been proven time and time, again, that 8 speeds don’t increase fuel economy to any extent that it actually matters.
They make for a solid off road rigs. Good vidoe, Omar!
Yes they do! Thanks for watching!

You keep referencing the Luxury trim but for '22 you can get the power third row and Mark Levinson audio with the Premium Plus package.
So then what’s the point of getting luxury. What does it give you that the premium plus doesn’t?
By the way the 3rd row didn’t almost cop out they all do that it’s to set the backrest straight up to lean back and lean forward
You release and press again they remain folding back down
Do you recommend this car even with the rising gas prices?
Was in the market for an SUV and was in between this the RX450h and this GX460.
Which would you chose and why?
RX450h
@Omar I have this car, you can remote start with that key, you need to press the lock button twice then press and hold the lock button.
You can remote start from the key fob and through the app. From fob, press lock twice then press and hold lock.
Tried doing that from the remote but it didn't work - I guess you can only do it with the Lexus Enform app
@@omardrives Agree. When I owned my GX 460, I could only remote start using the Enform app.
This feature is a downer because it’s a subscription service after a year.
@@chuckderuyter The 2022 has 3 years of Enform included with purchase according to the Lexus literature.
Nice review. Can you do a video of the various trims of the Lexus GX460?
You completely ignored the NEW headlights.
The cars are great off-road!!
Yup yup
SUV
It’s rear could really need a redesign and the car needs a f sport model.
Omar, try Carly or Carista for additional set up like to fold the side mirrors when locking ;it might be available as other hidden features;
i own this beast and love it.
Great Review...please comment on
4w drive control buttons
4L AND 4H(removed from console)
How you comparing the GX to the new lx600? What’s the difference between the two in drive quality and smoothness
If they would make them V4 dual Turbo or inline V6, I would get it tomorrow!!!!! No car on the planet is more reliable, comfortable, strong, Wisper quite like the GX. None out there. They simply run forever. Sadly, they will fade out. Lexus is using whatever they have left to get rid of them. It was a smart move to add the infotainment.
The new LX and Land Cruiser have a V6 so I'm pretty sure this will get it next!
absolutely retarded idea. the v8 with no turbo is why the car is so smooth and reliable.
Pretty sure there's still a half dozen Lexus' with cdplayers!
Omar, where can i find that trailer hitch that your test vehicle have.
Does the rear window that pops up from the press of the button lock? Can anyone just open that rear window without a key?
I wish Lexus would make their RX to have smoother ride like GX. Their ride quality is rough.
Hmm I think the RX has a very very smooth ride quality. I'll be testing the 2022 next month so stay tuned!
@@omardrives My friend bought one and we rode it and were surprised because it had choppy ride like my Ford. It is nice but it wasn't smooth. Will subscribe and wait for your review. Thanks.
The GX does not have low profile tires that makes quite a difference in the ride having more rubber to the road
RX is smoother ride then GX especially on a bumpy road for sure. If you compare to the truck maybe GX ride feel a little better. But for mpg and the cost it’s not worth it to buy new.
Nice review
Yes. In a heartbeat
Love my ‘08 gx470
Its been at least 15 yrs since I bought a CD. LOL!!
Does it have a Heads-up Display?
CD player, what's that grandad? 😎

I just picked up my 2022 GX. I’m in LOVE!!❤️❤️
@@dudewiththecamera The gx460 is a Landcruiser Prado. Peel back the plastic trim and Toyota is stamped all over our GX460

Where did the switches for off road settings go?
In the center console area
It's funny cuz in Asia these things are driven by military or bodyguards, and in the US people drive it for picking kids up lol
New To The Channel 👌💪👉👍
GREAT REVIEWS 👌
PEACE ✌️ 💪
STAY WELL 🙏
How can appearance hurt reliability ?
I think design wise this is still pretty modern - doesn't look outdated from the outside but on the inside it's pretty old
video anda sangat bagus dan mempunyai mesej yang luas terima kasih
So do you notice some buzziness and rumbling from the engine bay steering and floorpan around 1800 to 2000 rpm?
I did not notice that on my test model.
That maybe coming from the KDSS kicking in at 18 mph maybe or firming up
@@chuckderuyter yes it is good to skip 1800rpm.
That is the RX
I really like this! But I really want a Genesis!
Yea - this is a great option if you're going to buy one and keep it very long term
No, you don't.
Yeah if all you’re doing is getting groceries and picking up the kids from soccer practice then yeah you do. Don’t attempt any off road adventures with the Genesis or most SUVs
I'm guessing this vehicle is not for a single mom of three is it?
@Cortez Miller: Genesis = Junk...
The car play alone would persuade me to buy it
Lol
You copied Car Expert's Prado review intro or that's a massive coincidence
The center stack on the 2021 looks a lot cleaner than the 2022.
Idk man even a gx from 2010 has more stuff than my mustang 😂
Nothing being made in 2024 I’d choose over one of these. Nothing
It’s a DVD player. It will also pay cd’s

I actually traded my 2021 GX 460 after 3 months for a 2018 Cadillac Escalade. The GX was too boring. I have not regretted my decision.

Same underpinnings as the forever unchanged 4runner. This one has gone in too long with same bad engine and transmission.
Say what? Can you clarify which one has the bad engine?
Sour grapes 🍇 get over it and move on
genuinely curious to know what's wrong with the engine and transmission.
@@whitebuffalo4904 It's not a high-strung turbo & supercharged 1.3L 4-popper with a 12 speed trans, which is the modern ways of disposable shit boxes.
