I bought the LAST one at my local dealership a month ago and absolutely love it! I traded in a 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLE450 4Matic and have zero regrets!
People complain about the 301 hp but this V8 is not about speed but comfort. I've owned dozens of vehicles in my life, and the Lexus 4.6L V8 is hands down the most enjoyable engine I've ever had in a vehicle. It is the perfect cruising V8 for long trips and it has plenty of power for what you are wanting to do.
Also, this motor is de-tuned quite a bit especially compared to the LS 460 version which has 386 HP, so I can tell you with personal experience you can re-chip this vehicle and get absolute gobs of power.
Agreed. We bought a 2021 GX460 knowing it was going to be gone soon. So glad we got it before the new ones with the turbo engines. V8 just so reliable.
Oh heck yes. Landcruiser Prado with a V8. It's a TANK off-road. Great review. Thank you.
Out of reach but have always loved these ! V8 sound and performance never gets old. Thank you !
a used GX460 or GX470 is within your reach ❤ ✌️
not at all bro. last year i got a 2019 with under 30k miles for $41k wait 3 years and that black line ebition will be between 45 to 50k.
Thanks for all the info & input ! I have a 2022 GX I bought new , I was on a waiting list & passed on a couple of GX’s but got lucky & got the color combination I wanted it’s in the garage with 1,200 miles on it didn’t want the last of the V8’s to get away from me. I have a 2020 GX I bought last November used with 12,000 miles on it for my every day driving and road trips . Love them both, I’m not so sure about the 2024 yet looks like a FJ not as luxurious & sporty as the outgoing model.
I have an RX 450H, but have always wanted one of these. This is the most reliable car on the planet- kinda sad to see Lexus getting rid of this engine. Great review!
100% AGREED. I have a 2017 GX 460 and do about 40,000 miles a year due to being a regional manager for my company, and I am sitting at around 290,200'ish miles on my GX. I have not had one failure but have replaced a lot of parts due to them just being warn out. The entire front end was replaced at around 220,000 miles. That was the most expensive period replacing the CV joints, sway bars, ball joints, and everything else that needed to be replaced. The rear air bag suspension and front shocks was replaced at around 150,000 so I am expecting to be doing that again by the end of the year.
Overall, just an amazing vehicle. The starter never went bad, but at 200,000 it was recommended I replace it because of where it is located behind the engine, the labor alone is $1,000 to replace due to its positioning, so they replaced that and the headgasket and one or other two things as preventative maintenance which wasn't cheap. The alternator went out at around 250,000-ish.
Outside of that I haven't done anything else. Oh, I run Amsoil oil and filters due to the high mileage.
Awesomne!
@@SuperSnakePlissken
That Blackline Edition is really sharp looking
I own the premium
quite happy with it!
Love your videos ! What do I think ? I just got one today ! White with the black wheels !! It’s an amazing vehicle !
congratulations on your new GX460 👏 ❤
@@LexusGX460-OFF-ROAD thank you ! Love it !
Awesome SUV! Congrats! 🥳
@@goldpony thank you sir !
Great. Got my 2023 GX Luxury a week ago and it is a pure delight! Nothing beats a Lexus V8! Butter smooth, quiet and a comfortable ride- what else do you want out of this price range of a vehicle? The 2024 GX will be a good vehicle, but I saw all of the reviews on theV8 GX reliability and all the UA-cam videos said the same thing- reliability and comfort!
Beautiful truck! 14:11
What did I think? Just bought one. Get ‘em while they last which is ……almost gone
Me too! Loving it every day! The 2024 GX will be more expensive and have a wait time of 6 months at least. Never argue with a aspirated V8!
Booked one 23 white n black
Got mine!
I love the exterior of the GX except one feature that is preventing me from buying this vehicle. The rear gate in not a lift gate, which is a huge draw back for me. Swing gate is very inconvenient. It cannot be open via remote, secondly it requires more space for open the rear gate. TBH this feature is the only thing preventing me from buying this vehicle. I like the smooth luxury ride of a Lexus as compared to other vehicles.
Currently own a 4 runner …. And the GX 460 seems like the next best thing to move toward. Is there a video for a Nissan armada review.? This is my only other suv that I am considering. Not sure how it would match with the GX460 as far as reliability though.
I have owned a number of Infinitis (Nissans), and am a fan of the brand. I also own a Lexus, Mercedes, and Acura. There is nothing like a Mercedes, but for reliability NOTHING beats a Lexus.
@@PalmerBrown yep I believe you are right !! The Toyota brand stands the test of time!
I own (‘23 Lexus GX & a ‘19 Tundra) and have owned many Toyota/Lexus vehicles, and I’ve owned a few Nissan/Infiniti as well, and like the Toyotas the Nissans never gave me problems, just regular maintenance items. If you need a large reliable SUV I would consider the Armada, it’s made in Japan and is practically an Infiniti QX80. I was actually considering an Armada, it’s a great value especially used because it’s not popular and depreciates a bit. Which is a shame because it’s a nice SUV with a proven V8, and I’m sure it won’t have electrical problems and break down like the ‘19 GMC Yukon Denali I had for less than 2 years. Btw I had a 22 4Runner TRD ORP w/kdss and the GX is more refined with it’s V8 and just feels more solidly built, even though they’re built in the same factory. I know it’s a Lexus vs
Toyota, but there is a difference
I’m a 65 year old GrandMom. I bought my 460 last week. I was thinking, I started my driving life with a 68 Lemans V8, ending my life with a V8. I’ve not owned any V8’s in between . Love my GX!
A great car, indeed.
Great vehicle...no doubt. The question is whether to buy now with the last V8 or wait for the complete re-do and the V6 turbo purportedly coming out in 2024 (even if 1st or 2nd year of new build)? Wider? Wonder if the GX460 will hold resale value once new version is out.
The buzz I hear is that the v-8 models will hold excellent resale value. Talking to a few Lexus dealers, I am told there is a rush on the 2023 models, mostly because of the v-8.
The same choice that I had to make, but one week ago I decided to get the 2023 with the old reliable V8, the last V8 I will probably own. The V8 and 6 speed transmission is butter-smooth too. The 2024 Turbo V6 and 8/10 speed transmission will be good, but not initially perfect, no first model year vehicle ever is without flaws. The 2024 GX will have a sticker price increase and its availability for the general public will be 6 months out and with a waiting list too! Either way, make your decision and be happy with it, both 2023 and 2024 models will be good, it's just a matter of preferences, trade=offs and vehicle availability. Good luck.
I've had 3 GX's to date, and still have a 2011 Ultra with only 64,000 miles, a 2013 FSport GX with 189,000 miles and both still running great. The 2011 Air Suspension just failed and ridiculous $ to repair... so going to convert it to an Overland Toy. So I've been racking my brains out and researching like mad, and just bought a new 2023 GX Premium today, and could not convince myself that the Turbo 6/10 speed 2024' will be as smooth and as reliable... I love the GX, and would like to wait a few years and see how the GX550 does and what reliability is like.... But I FEARED missing out on the last V8!... so I called every Lexus dealer in Ontario (I'm in Toronto), and tracked down 9 more coming in, and that was it! So, I picked one up... will get end of OCtober, can't WAIT! Black/Black... Excited actually. This will be my 4th GX in the family.
Not necessarily true. There are a lot of '23 models sitting all over the country. The new one will take a heavy toll on the outgoing model.@@PalmerBrown
Dealers will always tell you their car will hold high resale value. Resale value benefits dealers when they give you a low price for trade-in and turn around profiting thousands on your car. only those who understand the current GX 460 and those in Overlander will value it. Most will want the newest Toy on the road. Remember Toyota is promoting the new model as the off-roader that it is, so people won't remember the outgoing GX 460. Especially if the gas price stays high. @@PalmerBrown
I love you gold pony!!!
Hello, I want to know about the roof rack? Is it oem? Thank you
Can you tell me what are the main differences between this and a limited 4 Runner?
-Extra insulation resulting in a quieter ride and heavier vehicle
-KDSS for extra stability on road and extra articulation offroad
-NA V8 instead of NA V6
-Requires premium gas vs regular
-Mark Levinson audio VS JBL audio
-slightly faster 0-60 although barely
And the GX is manufactured in Tahara, Japan, the factory that produces the most reliable production vehicles
4Runner also built in tahara factory
Cant wait for 2023 discount swhen 2024 arrives
No discount not even a penny try
They are heavily discounted. $5k - $6k plus is common. @@john1198

You do great videos. I know this is a strong vehicle but the market pricing is ridiculous, I also don not life the grill on this car.
Get these cars before they become four bangers and six bangers with turbos. NA engines are sunsetting, an unfortunate death of an era due to emissions.
It is Black or caviar color
Most reliable engine, yes but, with the fuel consumption you could buy another 3 engines on the long run.
What gas octane does GX 2023 use
91. Premium fuel.
I can't understand how somene can can say "pretty cool" of a lexus being sold in 2023 with a CD player.
Well I have a 23 and I am listening to my Mozart CDs from 90’s
Its actually a dvd player
V6 turbo?
4.6L V8
2024 models and newer will have the v6 twin turbos
❤
Why can't GM make this?
Because they are about the cheap, not quality
When I hit the lottery then I can afford one.
get a used one or a used GX470 ❤
Try to not say “anyways” in your reviews to make them even better. 👍🏻
Oi
the most annoying thing about the GX is the rear door opens for RHD not LHD.
I always find these videos about GX strange when they say it’s super reliable meanwhile they have only had the car for not very long. Lol the only and true way to know that it’s reliable will be in a long term review. Anyways nice car for sure
I go by Consumer Reports whenever I mention reliability which is what I mentioned at the end of the video 👍🏻
The GX460 has been using the same engine and transmission since it’s launch in 2010 with some interior updates and facelifts throughout the years
@@jjrcns be that as it may, can there not be a bad year or bad batch. I own a 4 runner and everyone says the same, I still hope the gx is build well but one can’t know for sure for years to come is my point
@@josecarlos11 Yeah. All these people that say this vehicle is reliable are wrong. STFU
Yes well, a lot of other people who comment on the GX do state that it is super-reliable too as does Consumer Reports!
لا يريدون تغيير الخلفية القبيحة ابدا .. خلفية البرادو
يارجال نحن في 2023 في اي عهد انتم تعيشون !!
It’s not brand new GX. Same body style, same engine…no major changes for over decade
Thank god no major changes. If only they could go another 30 years without changes. Sad😢
That is the drawing car for many of us. They refine designs, that is where reliability comes from.
I wish it had 8 cylinders.
it does
I wish it had a 4 Cylinder turbo with a Supercharger and was hybrid.
Get a prius 😊@@georgetown8986

Judging a carry its hp only is like judging you by your very insightful comment
So is your mom.
Nobody is forcing you to buy one. They’re selling out each one they make. You can’t find them anywhere. They’ll be fine without you :-)
