I recently purchased a 2014 GX 460 luxury and can honestly say, after owning several high-end vehicles this is probably the most solidly built vehicle ever produced.
100% agree thanks for the comment
Any reliability issue?
@@luckyyou774 zero I put 80k on mine & all I will say is it’s not SUPER luxurious as a base model.. mine has empty buttons where the seat warmers would be for example.
@@buffering7612 i got 2019 sport pack, mine has heated seats, got 10k miles on love it, solid truck
this beast is a sight to behold. cameras can't do it justice!
I own a 2013 GX 460 (pre facelift) purchased with all its off road worthiness and luxury with 35k miles for within 2k$ of 2014 4runner limited. I love it (owned4 4runners). All that luxury depreciates fast and then parallels 4runner after about 3 years. These are hidden gem for 4runner lovers who need the 3rd row and want KDSS... plus way better options.
I'm in this boat. Currently driving new gen 4Runner limited but want more luxury, comfiness and better options. You really think it's that good and worth it for me to jump at maybe a 2014 used one?
PunjabiM8 I trade in my 2017 four runner for a 2015 GX....I’m very happy with my GX
I don’t understand the hate on the swinging hatch. I have a GX, and I kind of like it better than one that goes up
Edit: After going back to a lifting tailgate, the swinging may not be better, but there’s nothing wrong with it
A Salty Pistachio i have a GX 460 too, i’ve never like the swing back door, but Im not hating. Just got grown with it.
Agree, truck is amazing in every way
When I lived in Australia I had a pajero with a swing door. Not the best but not worth hating.
I'll start hating on my hatch when people start hating on Jeeps, Broco's, G-Wagon's etc!
I have a lexus gx 460 of 2010, I will tell you that it is an excellent SUV, on the road you do not feel, stop an electric car as you barely hear the engine, it is quite fast and when you drive it feels rough, off the road like very good in the 4x4, I recommend this car, apart from being very reliable, this car has 8 years and only oil changes, the best
Hi. I am getting a new GX460 tomorrow :). Is premium fuel ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY? (I have a company gas card) Thank you for your response in advance.
I bought a 19 GX460 Premium this past May coming from a 2019 4Runner TRD. I drove both vehicles from Colorado to my beach condo in MD, 3800 miles round trip. On the 4Runner I loved the looks more, rear window design, and off road capabilities towing my UTV through trails. The GX is a much better driver. The seats are a million times better. The 6 speed paired to the 4.6 is a lot smoother in all driving situations, highway, or city. If I was offroading and hiking a lot I would go back to the 4Runner. But other than that, the GX460 is like a grown-up and refined 4 Runner. I drove this same vehicle through the Afghan mountains for months with the diesel (Prado) and with some mods the Lexus version can do the same.
Finally I owned it with a lot of over time and sleepless nights of work.
I hope this car will stood up for me thinking my sacrifices by over working myself.
I have a 2014 GX, one the best cars I’ve ever had, also it will last till cars don't exist
Agreed, I also have the 2014 GX. This SUV is "Rock Solid" no maintenance issues or recalls. I had to adjust to the Rear Door not going up, but swinging out sideways. Here in Georgia we don't get the winter weather like some northern sates, but when we do, the full time AWD is one of the reasons I got this SUV. My neighbors front wheel drive SUVs can't compete.
Is your truck reliable? Do u have leaning issue? Or thunk sound when braking?
LOL
The rear door doesn’t open from the left because of the Japanese RHD origin, they make much bigger adjustments for other markets like drivetrains and dashboards. The door opens like that because in other markets, like Australia and countries in South America, the spare tire is mounted to the rear door to allow for a an auxiliary fuel tank (located where the spare is in the GX) which gives it a total of 38ish gallons. It opens from that side because most people on the planet are right handed. Nothing to do with it being from Japan. I would also bet that the Prado’s best and primary markets are Australia and Central & South American countries.. and possibly Russia.
This is a very admirable vehicle that doesn't receive enough respect, but the loyal fans die to have one. I have a GX470, but I wish the new upgrade in 2009 would add more torque to it. Torque is adequate, but this is a heavy vehicle as well. Nonetheless, when you drive this thing, you feel driving a tank. A tank that drinks like a tank, but you have no worries on bad pavement, crappy roads, snow, or anything. Extremely commanding ride.
That color is marvelous, I wonder if they will have it for the redesign model.
The ultimate trim, options, and color combo.
Oh I absolutely love my 2018 GX, I will have that thing forever and probably pass it along to my future grandkids LOL
I love my gx 460 2016
Starts around $53,000
Funny how Americans think this is a slow car. Maybe if they tried the Land Cruiser Prado with the 2.8 turbodiesel then they would think differently and see how lucky they are for having cheap gasoline.
The Jeep Wrangler's tailgate also opens the same way and that wasn't built for a Japanese audience. It works well when you're parked on the left side of a one way street.
Reliable rating 9/10 and it does hold its value
I Don’t think the swinging hatch is a deal breaker, at least you can open the window by itself. I drive a Jeep Wrangler and the rear gate performs the same way. It works for taller people. It’s hard finding a vehicle with a rear gate tall enough so you won’t hit your head on the corner. Hurts like hell. Lol.
i wonder if they plan on updating the engine and the interior for this thing...one of my favourite suvs.
Mine too.
But why, they still selling like hot cakes haha
The Lexus GX460 is a beast the closest thing to a Land Cruiser on a smaller scale. Or more like the Prado it's Twin in Australia. Reliability is a 10 all the way.
Lexus, the only luxury cars that you can hit a huge pothole and forget about it 4 seconds later.
While Others When you hit a huge pothole you need to either go to the dealers to fix it or have it replaced.
Lol oh my gawd this is so accurate
Time for a Ike Gauntlet tow test with a GX460.
Great review pal !
I love my 2015 GX
you should test a Toyota prado vx
wish we had the diesel and 6 speed prado in the north American market they are all over central America
why can't we get the v8 in the 4runner?? WHY TOYERTA WHY? YA DID IT BEFORE. DO IT AGAIN. BLAGH
Mike Bunero exactly, it's probably for stupid environmental regulations and what not, they don't offer the v6 in the RAV4 anymore either. That thing was fast for a small SUV lol
That V6 Rav4 was such a sleeper. 4Runner desperately needs more power.
Toyota
Mike Bunero get a land cruiser or something
Mike Bunero It's the EPA.
I ❤️ this SUV...
I do too. I love the sound of that 1UR-FE 4.6L V8 when you first start it up.
5 years ago you acted as if a lift on the gx would be ludicrous and now it’s everyone’s desired truck to overland and mod out lol 😂
my next car
im torn between this and a MDX... thoughts? We have a 2007 MDX now, but the LExus will ride more like a truck, but more reliable
Hello You guys I love your videos you made a lot of GX470 Videos but never one where you are towing. I would love to see a Video of the GX 470 towing a boat or the Trailer 🙏😊
I had a GX460 and it's a decent 4x4 but the ride (even with the Lexus touch) is very bumpy due to the body-on-frame design. I sold the GX460 after 2-yr because I could not get used to the bumps. I recommend you test drive the GX460 extensively over bumpy highways to make sure you like the ride. One thing my mother really liked was how easy it is to get in-n-out of the SUV for older folks because of the running board and the easy to grab handles.
Also there is a design flaw where the secondary air injection filter crumbles and causing a $2000 repair bill if not covered under Lexus warranty. Do a google search on it, plenty of posting about the secondary air intake issue on club Lexus.
The car is ancient but remains the last luxury SUV that actually works off-road. Sadly most buyers in the 3 row luxury SUV segment seem to be more interested in on-road refinement & fuel mileage than off-road capability. If Lexus made a RX 3 row it will sell like hotcakes, but will also signal the end of the GX.
Why would you want to take an expensive vehicle off road? I bought an old 1980s suburban for that. I’d rather not off road in my Escalade thanks
The GX is even cheaper than the RX450h. i am still deciding whether to get the GX or the RX450h
RX is rather girly
It have same body toyota prado in gulf country
عبدالله البغلي they lexus gx 460 in GCC countries too
What I don't understand is this is essentially a 4runner platform. And I know the 4Runner came with the V-8 so why in the hell do they keep putting anemic engines in the Tacoma which was the same size and chassis.? A platform that surely would be worked harder and benefit more from a bigger engine than an SUV. Any idea that it would detract from the tundra is pure crap as you can apply the same logic from the forerunner for this model and particular to the Sequoia or land cruiser.
did he say few lift this? is he out of his mind? there are 1000s of people do it, they are an entire community on reddit
I think, this must be the twin of the Toyota Land Cruiser. In Germany we don't get the Lexus Version. We only get the Toyota Version and its name is Land Cruiser. Here the Car has a diesel. But I believe we can also buy a Land Cruiser V8... But not 100% sure...
I can't understand why Lexus back door not open like another SUV, I hate the way their open the side not lift gate.
That door is pretty damn heavy. I wouldn't want it as a lift gate.
😍😍Nice SUV. Did it get a refresh for 2017? I hope they redesign it for the 2018 model year.
Where can i buy the bumper lip,? anyone can help me
I bought the 2018 lexus gx last month, currently with 540 miles on it. And now with passengers inside the car it is already leaning to the right. I called my dealer and they said that it is normal to lean. Is this a KDSS problem? Or coil spring? For a $56000 luxury car it shouldnt be like this. I know this will be a safety issue if you are driving at 65 mph.
Or 7 seconds everywhere else.
Have 2016 excellent get 18 in the city and 22 23 highway
4Runner or this Lexus? This GX you can find for 52.000 brand new... Concerns me that it is old, looks old inside, and I think the difference to the more premium models are the suspension adjustment and blind spot and all that...
If you think this looks old inside, a 4runner will be a bit less expensive but no better in terms of appearance, unless you love piano-black plastic and absurdly large knobs everywhere. Lexus' CPO warranty program (6 year unlimited mileage is what I'm looking at) is also much better than anything Toyota offers. Long term cost of ownership will be lower with Lexus.
I picked gx 460 in 2015 instead of 4 runner. It’s luxury vehicle. I love it but I miss my 2004 4Runner
I regret trading in my GX 😞
I wish Lexus would remove those sidesteps and reshape those huge drooping bumpers. I don't understand why they'd diminish it's ground clearance with body cladding only to add air suspension to it
Lexus Cruiser Prado GX

whats the background music

My mothers 2014 EQUINOX V6 makes 4 more hp wtf Toyota it's a v8 what kinda restrictors did u put on this engine ???
Matteo Nicolini The Equinox could have 2000 HP but i wouldn't trust it to be reliable enough to drive across the Serengeti but i would trust any Toyota
absolutely not as reliable as the Toyota, but this truck could use more power considering its power plant, just using the chevy as a comparison. Toyota could have given it more power considering it weighs a ton, more power also would make it easier to pass and tow.
The 0-60 is great.. mine almost always 500-1000lbs of shit in it too 😂 it’s great off road but I’m not an asshole so that won’t happen unless theirs a crazy forest fire & I gotta blow this popcorn stand.

You do know that the lx 570 comes in smaller tires 🤦♂️
9.14 seconds!?!?!!?
In CO
This is old. Time for a redesign, Toyoda-san!
Toyota is like apple, use old technology for way to long!
zsoltv if it works why fix it?
Juan Carlos facts
Only apple and Toyota break way way less. I would take that!
That’s why Toyota and Apple products always work and never break
That is why you have the choice to buy it or not. People buy it for a reason.. over and over again..
dying breed
The grille looks like the designers couldn't make up their minds. That tailgate has to be thee stupidest 'idea' that Toyota could have thought up, especially for a vehicle that is brought to the North American market place.
Nope, even if I wanted a vehicle in this (class) and I use the word 'class' with reservation, I would not consider buying these uber priced Toyota's ,with this utter ugliness , at all.
Of course these are my opinions only, and I realize I could be wrong,.....but I doubt it.
The back window opens which is a cool feature when carrying long things from homedepot or just cruising in the summer with some good tunes.
AND POORLY DESIGNED REAR HATCH.
David Sanderson bitch be able to affoard one and then blab shit of your arse
Although not in the same class, the Jeep Wrangler rear opens the same direction so perhaps the true off-road capable vehicles know something that the on-road only SUVs don’t know. The old LandRover Discovery did the same, although I think it may fall into the reason of right hand drive. Just my 2¢
Test drove 2016 premium and it's very slow. Engine works too damn hard to move this piece of junk. Breaking is just like stopping a horse carriage towed by a Bull. Am not please at all. And the funny thing about it is, I drive a 2011 Lexus LS luxury and it drives like like a luxy. Same engine if you can believe it.
Cheap plastics and VERY dated.....compare this to the Merc GLS or Audi Q7 heck throw the Volvo XC90 in and this machine is starting to look...kinda tacky.
It does feel ancient. However the powertrain is proven & will be bulletproof for years to come, and unlike everything you listed above the GX actually works off-road. The only other car in this category that does is the significantly more expensive Range Rover Sport or the questionable reliability Grand Cherokee.
orlando124431 I hope u know that unlike the vehicles u just mentioned this is body on frame the real deal the kinda car u want to have when the apocalypse hits..u need to learn the difference between a unibody design and body on frame
Trades46 The Grand Cherokee is smaller than the 4Runner. No way it can compete with the GX ha.
Actually the new Discovery is around the same price and comes with a much better powertrain. The HSE with diesel rides fantastic, has more room, and looks much better inside and out. Reliability is the only thing Lexus/Toyota can count on really. This, the Sequoia, etc. need to be completely revamped, or scrapped.
Matt Myers That's a fairly significant "only" ha. And the GX is still bigger.
The lexus lx is waaay better. The lexus gx is crap
"Lexus LX?" I think you misspelled Toyota Landcruiser
Do you have either one?
Lexus LX is waaaaay more expensive so it should be waaaaay better, right? Actually, it depends on each buyer's personal criteria as to which is the "better" choice.
@@4liter Lexus GX? I think you misspelled Toyota 4Runner
That drivetrain is completely outdated. Typical Toyota. Lazy!
that drivetrain is completely reliable. no direct injection to clog up valves with carbon, no CVT to fail, no weak dual clutch tranny. It's made to last, look under a GX460 and you'll piss your panties at how its built.
S L O W, G A R B A G E
This is at a mile above sea level. At normal altitude it does 7.4. How can you call it garbage, do you own one? No. I do, and it is almost a perfect car
Hope it isn’t too late but here have some sour grapes 🍇
how is the lx so good but this is a piece of junk yard crap its ugly a rebaged Nissan cube just why this vehicle WHY!!!
romel 4life well you evidently all you can afford a cube so be happy with it. Such cars are for sophisticated individuals
romel 4life Rebadged Nissan cube? Nigga this is a Lexus, it's an upscale Toyota you dumbfuck.
My moms MDX is faster than this for sure!
Brian Vtec still better more reliable than a Honda product
This is at altitude. It’s going to be slower than what it really can do. The MDX may be faster, but it’s a lot lighter because it’s a crossover.
don't like it
