Great video. I bought a premium ’23 eminent white pearl GX460 with red interior three months ago, and I love it so much. I may have slightly overpaid at $65k out the door, but I think in the long run I will have definitely gotten my money’s worth.

@Ameer_30 weird flex, but okay. I’ve never heard anyone, especially a business owner, say they don’t care about reliability. It’s all about balance for many consumers. Finding the right combo of luxury, performance, style, reliability, and price. It’s different for everyone of course. Perhaps you’d be interested in a McLaren if reliability isn’t your concern?

@Ameer_30 from my experience, parts of Florida and California are a lot alike. It’s about chasing clout and projecting wealth. I’d be very surprised if a Lexus SUV lease was more than a Cullinan, Bentayga, or (depending on model) a Range Rover. It’s far more likely that you’re not seeing them as a result of a lack of demand in that area.

I got a white 2023 Gx Black line earlier this year. Lifted with 2" Ironman foam cell Pro's, DrKdss bits to keep things buttoned up w the lift. No lean, everything is great. KDSS moans a litte during parking lot maneuvers but that's expected when lifting with Kdss. Threw on RCI skids (engine, transmission & fuel tank), Cooper Discoverer Rugged Trek tires.. Took it a few times for mild overlanding. Super capable.. Great comfortable daily for my wife and the kids. Not too crazy about the ~13 mpg, but whatever. I absolutely love it.

I picked up my 2nd GX last week a 23’ 460-basically the last model to sell a toyota truck V8. Want it to last as long as my 15yr 470 w/205k. So picking the last model year is probably the best for reliability, but extremely sad not to order a new 550. Maybe the bugs in the 550 might take another 10yrs to be mint. The 460 drives like a sedan compared to my lifted 470, much better for a daily.

@MOHAWKAUTO

7 ай бұрын

The 460 felt awesome to drive and I’m sure you won’t be disappointed in your decision.

I got a 2023 GX almost a year ago and I'm happy with it. It wasn't easy moving on from my 2WD V8 4Runner Limited a couple of months ago because though they are very similar mechanically, the 4Runner drove a little better. This is because the GX is 1000lbs heavier, something a lot of people don't talk about. The transmissions are identical (besides the extra gear) so it definitely feels sluggish in comparison. I had updated the 4Runner brakes to the GX 460 brakes (they bolt right on) so along with the lighter weight & larger steering wheel, it also felt lighter on its feet (especially without the AWD push). That being said the GX is smoother, quieter, and has the modern tech you expect. The swinging door and high load floor is a bit of a quirk but you deal with it (even if you'll never use the 3rd row). At first, the volume knob got me too, but I'm happy to report that muscle memory gets used to it! The worst part is the touch pad/buttons. Unfortunately, you HAVE to use it for certain functions. It wasn't perfectly thought out but it's not a deal breaker. I had a Corsa Pro Series muffler installed and though it wasn't as loud as I was expecting, I actually am liking it more subtle. Looking forward to your GX550 video

Toyota/Lexus have been using V6 Turbos for years now. They wouldn't risk putting those motors in their vehicles without torture testing them.

Waited to see the engine they were going with on the 24 and went straight to the dealership and bought a 2023 Luxury 460 with the Sport Package. I love this GX 460, traded my 4Runner TRD Off Road Premium for it.

The GX550 for all its tech only gets 1 more mpg combined-wtf. The base LC will start in the mid 50s with a cloth interior. My car has done 20-21 mpg on the highway whilst being very comfortable.
