This vehicle comes with two different OEM tires. The two could not be more different. The Bridgestone Duelers on the car you tested are marshmallows and you get a soft ride, body lean and you don't get the performance of the full time four wheel when you push it into a corner. Unfortunately, you can't choose your tires and mine came with the Bridgestones. I put the other OEM Michelin Latitude Tour HP tires on it and the driving difference is extremely evident. Much more of a firmer, sport ride. Better control in avoidance maneuvers and cornering. Huge difference. It's really fun to drive with the all wheel drive train. This is an older design and all the comments about the updates, gas mileage, gauge cluster are all valid. But this thing will run, on and off road. It's also a good size without needing two spots to get it parked. The second row is adjustable if you need to put adults in the third row, and it is super comfortable. You can use voice command and actually need very few of the switches and buttons to utilize most features, but they are there if you prefer. And it still has a CD player. And remote start from the key fob. And you can program the key fob to add a feature to open all windows and the sun roof at the same time. I'm going to run this one for a while and see how it goes. And it looks good...
I do have the 2020 GX which was redesigned. I do envy the new interior upgrade for 2022. But, the driving comfort is outstanding. I did a non stop drive (stopped only to fill gas) from OH to TX, around 968 Miles and I should say I did not feel any tiredness. I did drive it in comfort suspension mode and its excellent.

New subscriber, great review. I just put a deposit on one which is in the Pacific Ocean making it’s way to Los Angeles. This will be my second one, they are amazing! And so is the reliability! Looking forward to the updated tec! Good Luck!
I feel like all everyone does is complain!! for example the g wagon has a swinging door with a big tire on the back of it, where’s the complaints there, Exactly…. Lexus updated the technology and ppl continue to find a new problem. I know everyone has there own taste, but don’t talk trash about a vehicle you’ve never owned or driven.
The difference is the G wagon is like the Jeep Wrangler in a sense where it’s so iconic they can barely change it. This vehicle however is like any other Lexus and doesn’t have that “ICON” status as eventually this car will be totally redesigned and nobody will miss the old design
@@Carfan678 imagine saying Lexus doesnt have an Iconic car. Man doesn't know what LFA is. Anyway, the GX is getting redesigned completely for 2023, this 2022 update is to boost sales
Own 2022 rx 450h fully loaded. And just got a 2022GX 460 ff(sports package). While both look great I would say matt finish is the best.All my friends and family admire its presence. Even during dinner and barbecue. While rx poster (4x6ft) is in the living room, I have got the gx poster(also 4x6ft)in the dining room. So the gas guzzler can be fed as and when needed. Love them both! The posters look good in dim lighting in the night.
People who have negative comments here are too broke to afford multiple vehicles. They want a do it all but do nothing well vehicle. I own a 2020 GX460 and it’s perfect for my long road trips and never leaves me stranded. For daily commuting I take the beater 2007 Prius with millions of miles.

You guys did a great job in providing a thorough review of this 2022 GX. I just ordered this black line special edition in white through Longo Lexus here in Southern Cal. I am hoping to get one in a month or so. I know its a dated SUV, but the reliability of this truck is un-matched. I test drove one for a short distance and it seemed very comfortable. Thanks for the great review guys.
@@POVIEWS I worked with Anthony Nguyen. He is also nice. Other dealerships in CA gouged prices by $5k-$10k. Specially the Lexus of Beverly Hills. Not only they were rude, but they told me if you want to order GS through us, pay $10k over MSRP.
Notice that the black line is actually a standard trim but with the premium trims upgrades. The difference is that you only get the standard trims options/packages aka not available with Mark Levinson audio
Is your uncle a Nigerian prince who needs help collecting an inheritance from the government? I never heard back from him after I provided my bank account info.🤔🤔
I test drove a Luxury yesterday and I liked the changes; however, I didn't think the seats were comfortable and the back seats do not have much legroom for taller people.
I’m 6’4 with long legs and can fit behind my 6’4 father in his GX Luxury. How tall are you? I would say the back seats lack a lot of support but the front seats are very comfortable imo.
Great review! Wish the Mark Levinson was available in Black Line edition. I looked, really can’t aftermarket upgrade base stereo. So, is ML stereo noticeably better than base and...can Prem. Plus w/ ML stereo vehicle purchase Black Line grill , handles, etc aftermarket? For those familiar with both, long- term, which package do you prefer, Prem Plus w/ ML or Black Line? Thanks!
Black line is the base model with premium trim features, which means you can't order one with ML...very disappointing. All of the black line parts you can get separately but it's going to cost WAY (easily 5x more if you consider labor cost) more to add them yourself after the fact. Adding ML after the fact would be theoretically cheaper but I don't think it's plug and play...you would likely need a new body harness, radio, amplifier, speakers, LH cargo area trim panel. But even all of that is going to be many thousands of dollars. I sent an email to Lexus to offer it, maybe everyone should too!
@@Ill06Taco from what I heard you can get a couple midgrade aftermarket speakers to replace stock and its superior to the ML. Mark Levinson is a low, midgrade sound system that Lexus overcharges for bigtime anyway. It's old as hell and there's way better stuff out there for less than half the cost. That said, is the ML good enough for your average buyer looking for a half decent sound system? Absolutely. If you can't find the GX you want with the ML but it has everything else you're after, then its pretty easy to put in some aftermarket (yourself or pay someone) that's going to sound better anyway.
we are in a difficult spot to either buy 2022 ACURA MDX Advance or Lexus GX 460 luxury. Can not make our minds. Any help, advice, suggestion, please. Which one is more reliable, crash safety ratings can last for the next 15 years at least?
I have had both recently. I prefer the Lexus GX with the V8 engine. Don’t get me wrong the MDX is a nice SUV. The Lexus is so reliable and if you’re wanting 15 years, go with the Lexus hands down!!!
How do you not demonstrate the Apple CarPlay or Android Auto especially if it’s the first time being a feature? 🙄 I’m tryna upgrade to this car and I wanna see if the Apple CarPlay takes up the whole screen or just a portion of it.
I've been in both Camry and ES. I swear extra grands is worth updating to the ES. Every touch feels so good and solid on the ES. Lexus quality is just on a whole new level.
I don't know which grille design to like better, this one or the 2010-2013 front end, or the 2014 grille. The spindle grille fits this SUV, for one that wasn't designed with this in mind. I prefer the interior of the pre 2022 refresh though.
@@KaptainKoke depends on the driver my dad drives a 2019 XC90 and it’s is pure luxury had no problems but a minor touchscreen issue still in her warranty too
dude.. this is perfect.! and its an off roader. i dont want glossy touch buttons that'll get busted, scratchy and dirty. Get a Bentley or a Genesis if u want beautiful ultra luxury materials and more features..
Why aren’t the turn signals LED’s? It’s a lot of Toyota material inside there. I wonder why they didn’t make it as luxurious as like the LS500 or something.
This car will outlast the new GX550 with the 3.5 TT that is in the new Tundra. I honestly wouldn't drive it as it looks too outdated and the interior refresh still has the touchpad which I hate. But this car is a gem and will be selling for tons in the used market when EV's take over.
With the amount of testing that Toyota probably did with that 3.5TT, even benchmarking it against the Lincoln Navigator/Ford F-150 (they bought a Navigator just for that), I'd expect that engine to outlast this one. Plus, I really doubt that engine will be put in the GX.
The tt V6 will be bulletproof reliable... no doubt designed by Yamaha and mile tested to Toyota standards... all with more torque and better gas mileage
It's still wood, this is the Black Line special edition so it uses black wood in the interior (including the steering wheel), so it appears to almost blend in with the black leather. If you look closely though you can see the difference between the leather and wood areas.
This is so slick, but I'm still in absolute shock that they didn't change the back hatch to lift up. They like being unique but that's the one area where they're unique in a bad way. It just makes no sense to have a back hatch that opens like an old school station wagon. It's not a deal breaker but I'm definitely shocked.
i just dont like the pointed shape in the front if you look at it from the side. it just looks damn weird. Obviously the GX was built to compete with modern non-Luxury brand cars or antique luxury brand cars.
That’s cause most Lexus buyers don’t give a shit. The average RX buyer will keep buying over and over without a test drive just cause of the brand. They can do no wrong
Was that a CD player? Why not make a cassette slot for it while they’re at it. Rear tail lights and real interior redesign are urgently needed in this SUV. Hate the fact that Toyota doesn’t import the Land Cruiser Prado for the U.S. market.
This car is very luxurious. As a luxury car the gear shift I will prefer it if it was wireless gear shift instead of an old traditional one. This car here in South Africa will cost more than 1.5 million due to our week currency 🙆♂️🙆♂️🙆♂️
@@leroy5202 Well at least the LX gets a modern engine and interior. This thing has less power than most V6s now. It's well built and feels like quality, but it's like 15 years out of date.
I swapped all the turn signals , backup lights, running board lights and interior lights for leds. I also ordered the parts for folding the mirrors on lock and unlock. Now my 2022 is complete. I couldn’t take the incandescent turn signals. Just so ugly on such a nice truck.
We just purchased 2022 Luxury Sport edition. I was wondering if you had the power fold mirrors on lock or unlock installed by the Lexus dealership before receiving your car and also how much was it for the parts. Thanks
Did you have to use a ballast resistor/equalizer for the turn signals? I did the same thing on my Mazda 3 and the turn signals would flash rapidly until I connected the resistors.
I have a late model 4runner rental this week and after a decent 4 hour highway drive, wanted to check out what the latest luxury offering from Toyota/Lexus model SUV would be. I am amazed at the difference in the interior between this and a 2020 and newer GLS 450. Even updated the GX interior feels 10-20 years old. It is disappointing. The cobbled-together fit and placement reminds me of Range Rovers a generation or two ago. heated seat.. just add a roll switch somewhere here.. 4x4 button, hidden under the steering wheel, etc. I am not sure about ride quality as i hadn't driven a GX, the 4runner ran as expected, trucklike but comfortable. The GLS450 is butter. I cannot imagine what the 550 or AMG with the upgraded adaptive air suspension feels like.
Would have bought this exact model BUT Lexus in their infinite ignorance would NOT allow you to get the Mark Levinson system which is one of if not the best stereo available. I bought a premium plus sport optioned like a luxury 19” wheels, captains chairs , auto everything
The one thing that always pisses me off with Lexus. They make the exterior look so luxurious but then the interior always looks outdated. It was almost like they ran out of money after the exterior
I love that car, especially during winter NY and PA weather , i personally helped Mercedes GLS 450 and Range Rover authobiography during a bad show storm in NY, they couldn't come out from the snow, GX did it, this is 4 car GX I have I love them all. but CD in this car is for what? who uses CDs.
I still believe this vehicle is outdated. Needs to improve overall in the look of the exterior and interior. I do like the ruggedness and how good the interior is put together.
Digital clock is disappointing. And to make it worse why dedicate so much space just for a tiny digital clock. That's stupid for something that has a redesigned interior.
Did he say the third row is not too bad to spend time on because of a cup holder and an air vent?? This SUV is so outdated and it’s a shame Lexus has milked this model for so many years.
@@jonlosito2004 u have to be joking right? Model Y is actually quite loud compared to some of its competitors, it suffers from a lot of road noise and wind noise.
I test drove the 2022 bmw x4, the 2022 RX, and this 2022 GX460. I like the ride quality of the X4 (little rough but still quite). The GX has very little road noise it's a little bouncy but it is expected since it has body on frame construction, but I was surprised how quite the cabin on this GX is. In fact my wife initially wanted the 2022 RX 450h, but once she test drove this GX, she wanted it, so we ordered one.
V8, reliable, sounds and feels great, and now some upgraded tech. This specific trim will definitely be worth quite a bit in the coming years.

Agreed, Northern California, you barely can find any of the 2022 available at the dealership (well despite the shortage of chips) and They sell quick!
That’s cause most Lexus buyers don’t give a shit. The average RX buyer will keep buying over and over without a test drive just cause of the brand. They can do no wrong
What is this the toyota land cruiser prado speck?
5:47 the noise went quite... And i loved it 🤗
Did you notice buzziness and droning when revs are right at 1800 to 2000 rpm through the steering and driver floorpan?
Was that a CD player? Why not make a cassette slot for it while they’re at it. Rear tail lights and real interior redesign are urgently needed in this SUV. Hate the fact that Toyota doesn’t import the Land Cruiser Prado for the U.S. market.
I want one we have it in the Philippines but they cost aroud 120k USD. Tax here is crazy.
Can You Make 2022 Acura MDX
They already did
biggest let down is the tail-gate to be honest.... the door swing style is so dinosaur old now... can't wait for a 2023 model to come out soon!
I agree, plus it opens the wrong way so you have to walk around it when parked on a curb. At least the rear glass part opens separately.
the g wagon has been doing that type of tailgate for decades
@@desimoruyesok9135 no sh*t! But still for everyday use! I’d rather have an automated lift gate
This car is very luxurious. As a luxury car the gear shift I will prefer it if it was wireless gear shift instead of an old traditional one. This car here in South Africa will cost more than 1.5 million due to our week currency 🙆♂️🙆♂️🙆♂️
I can't wait to see what they do with this, but considering they just sprinkled some changes on it, they'll let this generation run another 50 years.
IF it is like what they did to the new lx, nothing lol.
@@leroy5202 Well at least the LX gets a modern engine and interior. This thing has less power than most V6s now. It's well built and feels like quality, but it's like 15 years out of date.
@@MercOne Still more power than most V6s
@@alh06 Are you crazy? No it’s not in the luxury segment.
They’re going to get rid of it, that’s what they’ll do.
Just wish they’d add some kind of hybrid. Love it, but wow gas mileage
Reliable car but still looks dated. This is a complete remodel?
I swapped all the turn signals , backup lights, running board lights and interior lights for leds. I also ordered the parts for folding the mirrors on lock and unlock. Now my 2022 is complete. I couldn’t take the incandescent turn signals. Just so ugly on such a nice truck.
We just purchased 2022 Luxury Sport edition. I was wondering if you had the power fold mirrors on lock or unlock installed by the Lexus dealership before receiving your car and also how much was it for the parts. Thanks
And labor
Did you have to use a ballast resistor/equalizer for the turn signals? I did the same thing on my Mazda 3 and the turn signals would flash rapidly until I connected the resistors.
How can a vehicle have a third row if it can't even fit a suitcase
Only 18 inch rims wth. Also need to update that rear end!! On the other hand, the front end and new center console layout aren't bad.
it's an offroad focused vehicle, why would u want anything more than 18 inches on it?
for the costco runs and picking up the kids, 22's are a must.
Still a great looking vehicle but even the “update” is still outdated at the price
I have a late model 4runner rental this week and after a decent 4 hour highway drive, wanted to check out what the latest luxury offering from Toyota/Lexus model SUV would be. I am amazed at the difference in the interior between this and a 2020 and newer GLS 450. Even updated the GX interior feels 10-20 years old. It is disappointing. The cobbled-together fit and placement reminds me of Range Rovers a generation or two ago. heated seat.. just add a roll switch somewhere here.. 4x4 button, hidden under the steering wheel, etc. I am not sure about ride quality as i hadn't driven a GX, the 4runner ran as expected, trucklike but comfortable. The GLS450 is butter. I cannot imagine what the 550 or AMG with the upgraded adaptive air suspension feels like.
Would have bought this exact model BUT Lexus in their infinite ignorance would NOT allow you to get the Mark Levinson system which is one of if not the best stereo available.
I bought a premium plus sport optioned like a luxury 19” wheels, captains chairs , auto everything
Bench vs captain chairs?
Those tail lights still look outdated. The incandescent front turn signal too.
like a big brother of the 2005 Fortuner !
The one thing that always pisses me off with Lexus. They make the exterior look so luxurious but then the interior always looks outdated. It was almost like they ran out of money after the exterior
I love that car, especially during winter NY and PA weather , i personally helped Mercedes GLS 450 and Range Rover authobiography during a bad show storm in NY, they couldn't come out from the snow, GX did it, this is 4 car GX I have I love them all. but CD in this car is for what? who uses CDs.
Dinosaur .....this truck needs to be updated. I think it's brand loyalty that keep these people buying the same truck over and over again.
That's not a truck
@@leonardodavinci6625 Body on frame .......It's a truck. This is more of a truck than the Honda Ridgeline.
coooool
What intro song was that my bass hit hard with it.
Am I the only one who thinks the spare tyre being at the back looks better on the vehicle? 🤔
So this is the luxury version of 4Runner?
I still believe this vehicle is outdated. Needs to improve overall in the look of the exterior and interior. I do like the ruggedness and how good the interior is put together.
Do not fix what's not broken is their belief... only a few can afford this and you won't need to think about buying a new vehicle again
لماذا لكزس تصر على خلفية البرادو لو عملوا لها فيس لفت وميزوها عن برادو لاصبحت افضل
this interior is good, is good for year 2000
Digital clock is disappointing. And to make it worse why dedicate so much space just for a tiny digital clock. That's stupid for something that has a redesigned interior.
超级喜欢这款车
Anybody noticed that the review guy morphed….
Wow, they actually made the interior look cheap. Now I don't feel bad about buying a used one.
It looks at least a decade old, reminds me of the Range Rovers from 2005-2015 or so.
What! they don't even give you an LED turn signal?
This is so depressing. After 10 years it's still exactly the same as my 2012 GX.
Their navigation system is dated af. And who puts in a CD player ? Do they even make cds anymore?
They still do... you will find them in retail lol
@@alvinsimba734 what’s retail?
Lol Amazon wrecked it
One good thing about shifting to all electric-no more spindle grills -how long have they had them now anybody know?
Since like 2011. Spindle grill looks awesome in my opinion
@@kr6248 it came on in 2013.
They'll still find a reason to keep them. See the NX300e.
@@damilolaakanni It was introduced in 2011 with CT
Where is 4x4 controls ??
Please review the Corolla Cross
Coming very soon!
Did he say the third row is not too bad to spend time on because of a cup holder and an air vent?? This SUV is so outdated and it’s a shame Lexus has milked this model for so many years.
Which is the quietest SUV tested so far? Is it the X3?
That would be the Tesla Model Y
@@jonlosito2004 u have to be joking right? Model Y is actually quite loud compared to some of its competitors, it suffers from a lot of road noise and wind noise.
@@ro0ster648 oh yea.. forgot about their built quality. My other guess is the Audi E Tron
I test drove the 2022 bmw x4, the 2022 RX, and this 2022 GX460. I like the ride quality of the X4 (little rough but still quite). The GX has very little road noise it's a little bouncy but it is expected since it has body on frame construction, but I was surprised how quite the cabin on this GX is. In fact my wife initially wanted the 2022 RX 450h, but once she test drove this GX, she wanted it, so we ordered one.
Looks like a 2000 model! Are they sure this is a 2022 model?
I lova Buy
A Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy is way less and way nicer inside and has a usable 3rd tow.
At this point I’d rather get the new LX tbh
It’ll be twice the price too lol
Yeah, we just bought a 2022 GX and I was curious on the price of the LX. The sales rep said starting somewhere around 120k
The update failed because I own 2019 gx460.
