After 17 years and 200k miles, my "tank in a tuxedo" was worth every penny. Kept up with all the Lexus-recommended service and she never failed me - can't praise this chariot enough! Sure-footed on ice, snow, wet roads, and even on the beach when other trucks got stuck in the sand. Awaiting delivery of my 2022 Lexus GX460 - I'm confident I can look forward to another long & dependable life with the best SUV in its class. Oh - and I call the incredible visibility inside the GX the "greenhouse view" - virtually non-existent blindspots. Thanks for a great video review!

My 2010 GX 460 got 257,000 miles, and it still runs like new. I had to open the hood only a few times to replenish the window washer fluid and replace the headlight bulb, and honestly, I love my 2010 GX 460 over my 2016 Model X and 2018 Q7.

for real..this will run forever

Here in Colombia, just recently Toyota started selling their lesser models such as the Corolla. As a brand it is mainly known for the Prado lineup, for this it is perceived as a luxury brand, and it sells these luxury trucks as hot bread. But most of the prestige that comes from having a modern Prado or a Lexus GX or LX is precisely because they are the same vehicle as a 20-year-old one. They are bulletproof and are extremely capable of road. On many places of the country, those are the 2 most important features. As of today in cities you can found swarms of modern Prados that retail for over $85k and on rural areas most of the trucks you find are 90’s, 80’s,70’s and even 60’s Land cruisers fully working and carrying 3 times their cargo capacity. They are so bullet proof they have embedded themselves on culture. Outselling by a mile premium German brands, while having even more expensive models.

Even it is still an old vehicle, there is something about it I really love. It is graceful, subtle, simple, but most importantly, it gets the job done in the most drama free way.

What an introduction!! Straight to the essence👍🏾

Brilliantly done guys. Keep up the good work!

This has to be the most honest and funniest automotive channel! We need to protect you at all cost 🤣

The intro, nailed it. I have owned 2 GX and each time had to sell them for some reason. more room, need something else.. etc.. and right now, here I am supposed to be researching a Tundra, F-150, or the like but I am back looking at the GX. I can’t count how many people describe it as bland, outdated, etc.. but when you have owned one you get it. I have driven my GX cross country from CA to GA, in the mountains of CA, on long commutes and damn.. they just rock.

Underrated channel ! Love the content, it gives me goosebumps 👌🔥

I just bought one. Love it. Quality and comfort are remarkable. Nice and honest video.

Love GX, all my friends have owned one... Such a tank... So good

Love your videos. Bought this truck 3 years ago and everything you said in this video is me and the reason I bought this thing. Wife uses it now for hauling kids, and in 2 years it goes to me and will be my truck until I get sick of it. Plan to build it up and drive it till it falls apart. I am a huge Land Cruiser fan and this vehicle is the next 60/80 series that we all loved for decades in our "cult".

Even without your great shoots, the content is great! Just great!

Love your reviews, you nailed the spirit of a Toyota product, and this one has a V8 with a soul in it. Because so many toyota products are souless!. Keep on going with the great work!

I do emotionally love mine! I just replaced my 2004. It had 55k original miles but never a single failure. The only "repair" in 16 years was to change the grease on the emergency brake. With no more miles than I put on my vehicle, the dependability is an even trade on gas mileage.

You only drove 55k miles? And replaced it!? 🤯

I have been waiting for your review on Lexus GX for a long long time. Finally, it is here. Very nicely presented as always. By the way, watched your Miata documentary twice and enjoy every second of it.

This is one of the most comprehensive & convincing purchase review I have ever seen. Ty team geese.

I've yet to try out one of the gx460s but your comment about it being comfortable for big people - over 6'3 - is EXACTLY what I wanted to know. I test drove a 2014 land cruiser and I was surprised to find less than an inch of head clearance (to my bald head!) even with seats at max depth. I can't wait to give one of these a try and hopefully I find my true land cruiser experience!

Giving a thumbs up for the 80s intro music alone phenomenal!

Thumbs up for the cinematography/ video quality. Pans on point. Loved the under body view, thinking to up grade to the GX from my FJ. Keep up the great work.

Been waiting a while for this one 👍

I know an lx470 with hydro-air suspension that had no (suspension, filter) maintenance, 180.000km on gravel roads, 14years, 3 medium accidents, and still no problems with suspension (hydro-air expensive parts), used in comfort 90% of the time.

It's Ders Mane that’s about what I paid at FCP Euro for an Arnott rebuilt unit. Worked perfectly and was in excellent condition. My current Cayenne has the air ride system and I love the versatility, comfort, and performance characteristics it gives the car. Expensive, but worth it imo.

biggest issues ive seen with these trucks: -secondary air pumps w/ switching valves -kdss motor wire terminal corrosion -air suspension issues -leaking a/c evaporators -PRNDL switch on transmission -exhaust manifold cracks my issue is that certain check engine codes will limp mode the truck into 4LO leaving you in a very bad situation depending where you are. Good to know how to disconnect battery/reset the code if going on a long trip

And when I say biggest issues I also meant those are pretty much the only issues to be common aside from the usual o2 sensor or other universally common issues in any vehicle. I can't remember ever seeing a bad water pump on this engine which is usually common on a lot of Toyota engines.

One of your best videos!

Great video 🙏..... just bough one 2 days ago ... I LOVE IT ✌️

actually it has one of the best sound systems around.

The Lexus GX is the 150-series Land Cruiser Prado. These are built to last a minimum of 25 years in the world’s harshest conditions.

Love the new camera angles!!

this is obviously the best GX460 video I've ever seen!

Love my Gx, everything is spot on

The 4runner’s sophisticated cousin that holds his pinky up while drinking tea.

I drive a 2012 GX 460, with the F Sport package, that I picked up used about a year ago. With 85,000 miles and 8 year it feels new. Felt like this might as well have been a review of my GX. These trucks are timeless.

this is a no bs premium car review channel

i can totally understand why this is appealing. you get the looks of a modern car, but the simplicity from an older one - this is exactly what i would like to drive and also the reason why i appreciate older cars.

Still absolutely love this.

The BOFs - Fortuner, Prado, 4Runner, Land Cruiser, GX and the LX are the cars I don't wish die out. Please keep buying them, people. I know I would sometime in the future.

thanks for the great review. I am researching this vehicle and am very happy that I found your channel. I had many concerns regarding the age of the technology, but now I understand why it is what it is.

I recently had a rental Yukon and that OnStar made not even think about buying the car. I am now the proud owner of a 2016 GX460 and loving it. :)

quality engineering that will last longer than you want. i'm still driving my 2005 GX. i paid $50k and it was worth the money. it has been 100% reliable, and fun. but now 15 years later it's time for something new. sadly, everything that used to come standard is now an option, and to get this vehicle fully loaded costs way more that i believe is reasonable. i'm buying a subaru forester touring for under $40k. i'll keep the lexus though. my daughter was a baby when i got it and now it's her turn to drive it.

My best Lexus GX460 review so far. I just love the soundtrack at the beginning too.

Amazing review! Wonderful soundtrack! Thank you!

Never seen two more laid back guys speak in a video than these two guys (unlike Scotty Kilmer and the Doug guy) and I still like it.They don't move their hands or even smile, but they transmit the necessary info on the Lexus GX. I like it.

I have a heavily modded GX 470 and love it. Wish I had that rear end from the 460 in mine with a factory locker.

I think of SUV's as soccer mom vehicles. Which is why I would never buy one. I'd be embarrassed to be seen in one. Give it time, and I think SUV's will become "uncool," just like station wagons and minivans became uncool. I view a BMW X5 as a trophy-wife-mobile, but I suppose this Lexus could fit that description as well.
