- The GX 460 Luxury package review is an overall incredible driving pleasure. An absolute tank that's quite, smooth, and luxurious. Is the aging Luxury package worth $12,000 over the more commonly-sold Premium GX? Let's find out!
I have a white GX470. Bought it brand new back in 2004 and still driving it.
GX is a tank!
Crawl control is worth every dollar and more
People still like boxy SUV judging by the jeep and most large SUV
The large suv's are really on a truck platform. The large GX does not look outdated. Still looks futuristic and modern like every other Lexus
Such a classic looking vehicle
Hopefully it does not get discontinued
Getting my brand new GX 460 Luxury tomorrow!
Sadly, someone hit my beloved 2006 LX 470 and totaled it, so I'm forced to buy another car. I can't afford another LX in the current used car market, but I think I can afford and will be happy with a GX in this date/price range. Your review was way better than anything I could find to show the Luxury version features, very informative and helpful to my shopping experience!
Keep up the content Kirk. The fact that you shared how much you make on your channel inspired me to start my own channel on personal finance! Although I do like cars too!
OMG congratulations on starting a new chapter! You can totally do it. All you need is passion and knowledge!
@@KirkKreifels Thank you!! Can definitely tell your videos have improved!
@@KirkKreifels How do you know when to shoot the cars? Don't you miss out on clients?
That's a risk I'm willing to take 😋
Great video! Probably the only GX video i've watched in its entirety. Love the detail of your video, comparisons, and overall summaries. You answered all the questions i had! Keep up the great work!
Thanks John!
Yes it is worth more. It is styled a bit better and is much better equipped. The bottom lip looks amazing!
The lip spoiler makes the gx look so much better
I agree.
Kirk you so right.
Toyota Land Cruiser ..4runner and GX. Still old school and dependable
The new Land Cruiser still has the outdated pull emergency brake and not electronic emergency brake
It works and your right safe and will go forever. Some people still want old school cars without all the latest and the greatest technology and electronic
Hopefully the GX does not follow the GS. Yes a tank it is
Great review as always brother Kirk. The GX460 is a Great SUV. Very reliable, very comfortable, a heavy & solid feel when driving this awesome body on frame SUV. A True people mover. I like the red tail lights better. I was never a fan of the alteza style lights. I really like this 2019 GX460 Luxury package, but if given a choice I would prefer the LX570. Again great review.
LUXURIOUS FLEET GANG...!!!!
Thanks man! I'd rather have an LX too 🙂
Lexus and Volvo are my top two cars
They should join forces
I've owned 2 Lexus' before which is enough to make me want one of these even if it's an older model, but I've also owned a truck with a V8 before too. The gas economy is absolutely no joke. I think I'll go after that F-Sport GS model.
This car has the potential to be truly great, but is in dire need of a total re-design; inside and out. One of the best engines, drivetrains, and suspension packages on the market- if maintained, these cars can go for 300k miles and more. I bought an RX 350H instead of this, but would consider purchasing in the future once a refresh is in the works. Nice job on the video buddy!
thanks!
As a daily driver and family vehicle for both city and rural use (camping, off-road) with a plan to keep "forever"...would you recommend a newer lower mileage GX 460 Luxury (2015-16) or bit older higher mileage LX 570 (2011-14)? Very helpful video...thank you!
I have a 2019 RX. In addition to feeling less drag-and-drop, RX overtook GX across the board.
RX is a great all around vehicle. GX is a tank that can handle any off road situation and can tow
a lot better than the RX.
I bought a 2008 GX470 literally last week. Still have my LS430. There is definitely a different feel to driving a GX470, but it is extremely a solid vehicle. No way in the world RX is better than GX. GX feels extremely rugged yet refined and smooth. I feel I am driving a tank on velvet cushion, but the seats are smaller than LS430, which is a bummer.
How are the seats in GX460 compared to GX470? I will buy an older LX570 whenever I find one for the right price. GX gas consumption is almost as bad as LX570....
GX 460 seats are a little bigger I feel. Has mileage is bad on both lexus SUVs.
Congrats on that GX man, one of the best vehicles ever made! What color is it?
I have a 2006 gx470 with 58k miles. I hope and expect it to hit 400k. I want to keep it for next 10-12 years.
@@Bibiweebee 58k miles? That thing isn't even broken in yet. My 2011 GX460 is about to hit 90k miles and still feels brand spanking new
They call it a silver titanium. It is easy to maintain the color.
Love my old school GX V8!
Thank you for this video! I’m deciding between this model and the 2020 Lexus with the standard 2.+safety .. I can get a better deal on the 19...
Yes my guess is that 19s will be discounted heavily in October November and December
I love the design of the interior: not to modern and not too old. And those engines are bullet proof, it's a shame they get bad gas mileage, but that's what you expect in that class of vehicle.
Hope to see a TT v6 option or a hybrid option in the future!
@@KirkKreifels have to disagree, V8 all the way. If I wanted a V6 I'd just get a 4 runner. Also at 70mph on the highway you can get 20mpg. I have a lead foot and still average around 16mpg city/highway. People who buy these want the bullet proof V8 and reliability. Reliability goes out the window when you start to add turbo's and batteries that will inherently fail.
See the review I just made on the 2020 GX 😋 I talk about how much I love the v8
We get the 570 in Australia and a 450 V8 diesel - very nice spec you have - from a Landcruiser base very nice truck - I’m a fan of the LX but don’t get GX here - just Prado
Kirk bro….I can’t get enough of them GX as u say they might be like a dinosaur…but man 🤦🏾♂️ u just can’t break ‘em …thinking about getting one myself luxury package 😁
Looks awesome. Nice review!
Thanks!
Great video btw
This colour
The different wheels
And that lip makes it look much better and also makes it look much newer
Way better than standard
And if the not making a new generation which there is no news on that
They should make this stlye standard
Surprisingly the prado was updated like 1.5 years ago and they really updated the interior to make it up to date surprised the GX is not updated yet it's the Lexus version it should have had more preference
I got a Lexus ad lol
Lol Lexus ads on my channel. But yes the spoilers look great on the sport package 👌
Love my car GX 460 so much ❤️
So this came from the factory on Bridgestone Duelers? That's what's on my LX but as AT (All Terrain) versions. Cool, they are my fav tire brand. Like you I don't know much about tires but I have had good luck with Bridgestones in the past on my sedans and coupes and especially their softer formulas (higher rolling resistance is how thats measured) which do wear out faster but grip the road so much better that you will feel like you are in a slot car.
I have had several customers that won't buy a car unless they have Michelin lol
@@KirkKreifels I can only imagine the requests and demands a Lexus salesman has to hear in the course of their duties. "Smile and nod" comes to mind. lol
Hey are the seats comfortable especially the third row
I will say the front two are very comfortable if you are under 6'4 lol. The middle is very comfortable in bench form, and just as comfortable in captain's chairs, albeit with no middle seat. The 3rd row is okay in comfort for adults and good for most teens and children.
Hope this helps.
Because RX is more modern and up to date and futuristic,whereas the gx is showing a bit of age it needs a pretty heavy overhaul.
Yeah dah one deh slap weh.meaning in jamaica english lang..its beautiful baf ass sexy ect..big up from jamaica bro.good reveiw as always uptop me gen..
I don't know. Nice video as usual, but this car just looks outdated in almost every way to me.
Idk why Lexus does that, but that's always been the case with the GX's. Even when they first converted all their other models to push button starts, the GX still had key start and the older dash.
@@imyanigmw It's one of only a very few body on frame vehicles left, it is a true Land Cruiser (Prado) underneath so there are always people who want that associated capability. A unibody vehicle couldn't do the things this does.
i agree with you! 3 year to old for sure
Since the rear wheel has air suspension, this premium version has smoother ride quailty than the base model GX 460?
Also I thought this SUV was full time 4 wheel drive? Why does it give H4 and L4 only? Where is the middle?
yeah, full time 4wd no 2hi mode. only 4hi and 4lo (crawling off road low speed transfercase)
@@corwininadsm thanks for the answer.
L4 is usually used in the crawl mode
@@mohammedad7260 thanks for your answer.
Can’t understand for all the money Lexus you can’t Even get into the third row seat from the driver side because that seat is mounted any reason for this
Omg how old is this thing now. Come on Lexus or are they killing this thing.
2009 old. No official word on the GX. I've heard there will be another refresh soon...
Does the 2020 base with premium package still tow the same 6500 lbs as the luxury trim?
Yes
Pretty nice, but also pretty outdated
and also Pretty beastly.
Sometimes being outdated is good. Less tech means less trouble and more reliability.
Correction: the power folding of the 3rd row seat is standard on all trims.
KDSS is standard on all GX 460 and an option on GX 470.
I was thinking of buying a new GX460 but I heard that this year they were going to release a new body style. Do you know this to be true?
I haven't heard anything yet. It's definitely due for a major change!
@@KirkKreifels thank you for the response.
So the basic model only has regular spring suspension? And this one has the hydraulic suspension?
The luxury package has air ride suspension for the rear and adaptive variable suspension for the front and back.
@@KirkKreifels So would that make the ride quality lot smoother?
@@MusicLuv80 Yes it smoothes out the ride quite a bit in its "comfort" setting.
@@KirkKreifelsI hope one day I can afford one. Thanks for the answers.
Would love to see a go or lx hybrid.
I’m almost at 10k you better turn up 😆
Lol. I average like 25 subs a day. You're killing me in that department.
LEXUriouS Kirk I’m only playing and 25 is good I’m still under 100 a day but that’s gotta change. Your niche will crush mine with views and subs but will take time way more competition you have
Time will tell!
In japan, they only got the prado which is pretty much the same thing and actually prado got a interior refresh in 2015 while gx did not get one. but in fact although here gx cost more than a gs but prado(gx) actually cost even less to make/assembly than an lexus is, in japan, the top trimmed 4.0 v6 280hp prado cost like the same as the cheapest is300.
if you have the 50000ish and want a yacht that can go off offroad , get a nissan patrol(armada), which is same class as lx570/land cruiser and actually sells better than land cruiser in middle east while land cruiser 5700 is about same price as a armada(patrol) in middle east(while being 30000 cheaper in north america)
here ua-cam.com/video/P_3PA5NkW2w/v-deo.html
QX80 is also the patrol and I would still rather get the Landcruiser over the QX80. However the Armada is a bargain in comparison to the LX and LandCruiser.

Please please just demo the 2 rear screens on both the land cruiser and lx 570 and gx 460 and 470!
#lexurious.fleet.gang!
I'll get around to it one day!
This guy is so hot!

Lexus RX is much better than Lexus gx.
I'd rather have a GX over a Rx 😎
@@KirkKreifels The GX looks more grown-up. The RX looks like a teenager with beard pretending to be an adult LOL.
GX is more masculine! Leave the RX to the ladies to drive.
Great video! Probably the only GX video i've watched in its entirety. Love the detail of your video, comparisons, and overall summaries. You answered all the questions i had! Keep up the great work!
Thanks!
