Love the GX thanks! Happy New Year!

You either love the GX460 or you hate it! Either way, it's a sleek vehicle! I love mine!!❤❤❤ I bought a 2018 in the spring and I don't regret it. I plan on keeping it for years to come.

I just got one and I absolutely love it 100%

This GX is perfect in every way.

CryptosRUs! Good to hear your voice in a car review. Solid review. Keep it coming!

Just picked one up 🆙 I love it 🥰 feels like a tank not full of electrical screens drives amazing. I understand why they haven’t changed it. It just works

It’s truly sad they haven’t updated the infotainment system

HAPPY NEW YEAR 🙂 LEXUS 👍🏻

The 2022 model got the infotainment refresh. Just put a deposit for a 2022 black line special edition. Hope to get it in a month or so. Good review.

I 💕 this SUV...

In my experience GX is to be seen in service center only for fluid change and only that!

Well done. I would like to see a comparison of a 2021 Toyota 4Runner Limited vs 2021 Lexus GX460 Premium. Is the Lexus worth the extra money? Curious most about ride comparison between the two. Premium GX, not a GX Luxury package. Thanks!

My good man they are basically the same but if you want more good looking and not more old school look, take GX and it is more spacious. 4tunner is same too but for a smaller family

Looking 2 get 1 in about 4yrs or so. Maybe they will update the infotainment by then

For those of us who cannot afford a Land Cruiser, the GX460 is the luxury upgrade for the 4Runner.

If you are looking for technologies and a smooth ride, look else where. Don’t say “I will get the GV80/X5/GLE instead of this”. Those are completely different SUVs. If you are looking to drive around in something luxurious and go offroading on the weekends with a truly tried and trued reliable powertrain, then this is your ride. You can easily put a lift on this and go rock crawling. One of the few SUV’s that come with a center diff lock from the factory.

Switch to sport mode, it is more reactive.

The Land Rover, Lincoln, Infiniti and Cadillac competitors purchased on the same day will be on their third or fourth disillusioned owner when the buyer of this GX is contentedly getting their 100,000 mile tune up done. Having said that, I don't know why the modern 'infotainment' is only available outside this market. Finally, the 4Runner is a close cousin but the Prado is the non-identical twin brother.

I would rather get a limited 4runner in nightshade. its a smaller engine with a outdated 5speed but the fuel cost will be 25-30% less then the GX because it doesnt require premium fuel. I also think the toyota looks better. just a personal opinion

@trigganometry168

I wanted the nightshade too. But went with the GX460. The 4Runner felt really underpowered and headroom is terrible compared to the GX. Where I am 87 gas is $2.99 and 91 is $3.30. So the difference is 10% and besides people who buy these cars don’t worry about gas. I get 23 mpg with cruise control @ 65 mph. I got 2020 GX premium with sport design package for $51147 almost same as nightshade.

@@Tom-zu1ss they are both great trucks. I drove both and I’m not really concern with 0-60. It’s more of the torque I’m looking for 278lbs vs, 329lbs. Is a huge difference. But really the lack of headroom and the dead pedal feel of the 4Runner really killed it for me. Looks wise I like the 4Runner.

Also I will gladly pay the premium for the buttery smoothness and sweet sound of the V8. Plus after Toyota/Lexus axes all the V8’s in the lineup it will be more rare and sought after.

I wish they would just make a larger RX and call it the GX.

toyota builds this on a mini land cruiser platform, off roaders know it all. toyota should have taken advantage to extend the lexus market to overlanders, even the land rover relaunches a completely redesigned defender. i hope that toyota will update the engine to a v6 turbo to improve the fuel econ, a better transmission, more storage, more rugged overland look and capabilities. When compared the interior design with the land rover defender, it's a night and day difference, but the gx460 is a lot more reliable and will last a lot longer. But for city cruising, the rx350 is fine.

You spoke so highly of the ride when you were driving it yet you graded the ride quality a 7? Why?
