Thanks for the great video. Just bought a 31k mile 2017 garage dweller yesterday evening. Going to have my wife watch this before she gets in it today.
This was one of the best tutorial I have seen. I have this vehicle for the past two years and did not know how to use many of the stuff. Thank you and you did well.
Just bought a 2017 GX 460 same perly white but interior is a darker grey. So far love it. Only had it 2 days so far so your video was informative as to figure it all out. Always had Toyota’s but nothing quite this luxurious.
I am seriously considering getting one for work, I drive lot for work. It is supposed to be the most reliable SUV in the North American market. When I drove it, it just fit like a glove right off the start. Price is high but one or two year olds are very reasonable priced. For what it is, I think the value is there.
+Peter Palffy Very well put. This would be an amazing vehicle for the road if you drive a lot. Plus if you can get one from a dealer w the L/Certified warranty - unlimited mileage coverage and 4 free services!
One of the toughest reliable suv ever created on planet earth outside of the Toyota Landcruiser, built like a tank easily last 500,000 miles doing rountine maintenance. People need to stop saying oh its a luxury 4 runner Not So. It's built on the Prado Platform, body on frame straight beast.
Thank you sir for this informative video! Going to pick up my new GX here soon and you have saved me a lot of time. Love hearing your North Carolina accent too (I'm from WNC). Will tune in for more car related videos!
s fox THANK YOU so much! Great to hear that you're getting one! I used to dial back my southern drawl but I decided that I needed to go with it cause it's who I am :-) THANKS again and have a wonderful day...y'all!!
Dont know if anyone cares but if you are stoned like me during the covid times then you can watch pretty much all of the new movies and series on instaflixxer. I've been binge watching with my gf these days xD
Hevin Amber I know that they don't sell prado in U.S.or Canada but they sell Highlander instead of prado and instead of fortuner they sell 4Runner and Lexus GX 460 is not a 4Runner and Lexus GX is more than 4Runner
Akash pandiaraj they sell the 4runner unstead of the prado and the fortuner .and the highlander instead of the harrier. and the gx and the prado shared the same chassis...
A lot of misinformation in the comments. The GX460/Toyota Land Cruiser Prado are built on the same frame and the Toyota 4Runner/FJ Cruiser are built on the same frame. All these cars are actually based on the same frame (just multiple variants) which is body on frame. The Highlander is uni-body and based on the Camry frame.
excellent tutorial (just one question - how do we turn the heat on? just by raising the temperature or there is an option somewhere to first put it on heat and then adjust the temp'.?)
This is an amazing, well done video. I have been considering a 2017 because the 2023 are $55-60k but I was concerned the '17 would not have enough features. I know know it will work for me.
My friend. I currently have new gen 4Runner Limited and looking for an upgrade in luxury and options (also V8 engine). Since these two are very similar in terms of their truck based platform what do you think if I were to make the jump? The 4Runner is too off roady and thrashy on bumps. But I come from a family that owned 2 4Runners since 1996! ANy help appreciated, always love your vids!
The only thing prevented me from getting this vehicle is that back door. Just seems very ancient to me and I cannot understand why the heck Lexus just don’t put a lift gate instead. I mean, come on already.This does not suit the American market ,especially if live in a big city. Maybe ok for folks living in the suburbs.

Great find and I’m glad I could help!
I’m looking to buy one of these. Can you share your experience?
Just took delivery of my 2017 GX460 and can’t thank you enough for this tutorial.
Just got mine 2017 yesterday , I still have 2000 Land Cruiser with over 450k miles , super reliable
This was one of the best tutorial I have seen. I have this vehicle for the past two years and did not know how to use many of the stuff. Thank you and you did well.

You're welcome! Glad to help!!

Thank you! Bought an L/Certified 2017 GX today 28k miles and got the special .9% financing!
Congrats

They all seem to be white!
Including mine! Loving it 😍
Thanks for the tutorial! We just bought a gently used GX this weekend. I’m in love already!
Excellent video. We're looking to replace our Toyota Sequoia and the GX460 is one of our first choices.

HowToCarGuy I just got mine!... I don’t know how to remotely turn it on...help me please 🙏

@Ricky Khari definitely, I have been watching on InstaFlixxer for years myself :D
Your video just helped me purchase this exact auto in the luxury trim. Just wanted to say thank you.
What an amazing tutorial! Thank you!
wow thank you for the in depth review.
+Azary Tamarov Absolutely! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Very nice review! Which Lexus SUV/CROSSOVER do you recommend for predominantly quiet, comfortable HIGHWAY trips? (Larger than the RX). Thank you.
learned some new features! its a great vehicle to own!
Yes it is! Glad I could help you! Thank you for the feedback.
Awesome Video!! Very detail!!! I still trying to figure out the mirrors going in when the truck is turned off.
Does the GX460 share its platform with the Land Cruiser Prado?
Yes it does! Both are amazing vehicles!
Excellent feedback! Thanks for contributing!
Hevin Amber Prado is highlander
Hevin Amber I know that they don't sell prado in U.S.or Canada but they sell Highlander instead of prado and instead of fortuner they sell 4Runner and Lexus GX 460 is not a 4Runner and Lexus GX is more than 4Runner

Excellent video. TY. Do you know what those 2 indented spots above the 4wheel buttons are or what option would have went into them?
Does vehicle have to be running tonset all that stuff? Also, how to update software?
A lot of misinformation in the comments. The GX460/Toyota Land Cruiser Prado are built on the same frame and the Toyota 4Runner/FJ Cruiser are built on the same frame.

I get 23 mpg with my 17 gx
ShhIKillU Nohacksjustburitoos , that's great, I think you're suppose to get 19 in town on the rx
Yeah right..
@ He's right on highway miles. I get 25 mpg on road trips. 16 in town, though.
It gets better gas mileage without ac on and long trip less stop and go. But for 23-25 mpg is not real for daily drive
This is an amazing, well done video. I have been considering a 2017 because the 2023 are $55-60k but I was concerned the '17 would not have enough features. I know know it will work for me.
Thank you for your great review!😄👍
You're welcome! I'm glad you liked it and thank you so much for the kind words!
best review on youtube brother
So my 2017 GX460 has these weird “dots” on the map, they only show up if you drive on a road that you haven’t been on... Any way to remove that?
You missed the sunglasses compartment :p
When is the 2018 model coming out?What will be the difference? Thanks
Que precios tiene esa Lexus gx 460 2017
very beautiful car
I agree! It drives beautifully too!
Nice video and awsome car but what is the price of it
Dennis levesque , price, size and gas .
Msrp is about 52,000
Ouch
I didn’t know that the oil change can be up to 10k miles. My dealer told me to change engine oil every 5k miles… I am in California.
As a mechanic who used to work for Lexus, master certified, it won't hurt to do it every 5k
@@motley06 thank you very much for the advice!
thanks for shared
EXCELLENT! Thank you and I hope you enjoy my other videos!
Brock
Is this infotainment system on the 2014 -2016 model or are they different?
Thank you!
the 470 looks much better. Am i right?
Does the 2017 gx460 always run in 4 wheel drive high? Do I need to switch it on ? I see there’s an indicator light on for 4Lo but not 4 hi.
As I know it should be set on 4 HI if you drive on normal road
My friend. I currently have new gen 4Runner Limited and looking for an upgrade in luxury and options (also V8 engine).

They’re not even close. I really dislike driving 4Runners.
grate car
Is this car as comfy as LX570?
Great question! Not as comfy as the LX570 but the LX is $40,000.00 more in cost.
@@HowToCarGuy which would you choose for everyday use?
Amazing video!
Good info.. thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
what gas it takes? premium or regular?
Premium
What package is this?
This probably going to be the last gx year, that's what I heard
Li Michael They may introduce an all new GX, LX 570 and Land Cruiser Prado for 2018.
Please I want to buy it I'm in Nigerian
Where is your test Drive?
The only thing prevented me from getting this vehicle is that back door. Just seems very ancient to me and I cannot understand why the heck Lexus just don’t put a lift gate instead. I mean, come on already.This does not suit the American market ,especially if live in a big city. Maybe ok for folks living in the suburbs.
P F it was my favorite car when I was little because only trunk I can open
I like it the way it is😁
class
I have that
+alexa vizcaino you have a great one!!!
Me too, same color and same interior but a 2011 - premium model year (bought it in 2018 - 1 owner with 37k miles) with the luxury package trim...
shes a beauti
Nice truck but mpg is very bad.
Maddog8148 you don't buy an SUV or pickup truck for fuel economy, you buy it for it's practicality and towing capability.
Good review but are you polytechnics graduate? 😀😂
Thank you! And no, I barely graduated high school 🤣
Gorgeous vehicle, but can you imagine the first time someone touches the inside with a dirty hand? >.
+DarlingNikki2 No WAY!!
don't get this interior if you have kids.
Actually, don't even get a GX if you have kids. Its definitely a grown-ups only car. Unless you're rich.
I have the GX with this Ecru cream interior color. I like it looks bright and elegant. Just keep it clean

POOR FUEL CONSUMPTION 👎👎
Sally Dela cruz no it has a best fuel consumption
how come?
Sally Dela cruz
Then maybe you should consider something smaller
You don't buy an SUV because you want good MPG.....think before you type.
no power, sucks
Great video man thanks a lot
Thanks for the postage feedback!
