The GC 460 is a different story. They killed the GX 460 I had to break it down because I wanted to show the differences between the 550 and the 460 I say if you are going to get anything get the 550 but you might wanna go with like a Chevy Tahoe V8 of course I’m gonna go with the F250 super duty Larry with a 7.3 L engine. The old v8’s used to be able to tow 11000. The new twin turbo v6 is 9000 still better than the Chevy Tahoe but you only get 1 mpg improvement on fuel but only 30@ ho Even the Rx 350 gets you 295 hp . Lexus killed the GX 460 mid sized suv. The 500 is the best option out of the bulky and pricy lx 600 and the GX 460 both I. Terms of price point and specs at least you get 349 hours and the same engine in the tundra or lx 600. The GX 460 has the Tacoma engine

Turbo engine. Big no no

I was lucky enough to get one a week ago. Luxury plus trim. I'm sad to say so far, I'm very disappointed. It rides pretty rough and the engine is loud and send lots of vibration into the cab. Lots of wind noise (I know it's a big box so that's to be expected) but it's pretty bad. Doesn't feel like a luxury car to me at all for $85K. It's only been 1 tank of gas but so far it's averaging 13.3 mpg, mix of City and Highway driving. Our Ram pickup truck rides 10 times smoother and gets much gas mileage. I know Lexus will have no problem selling these as fast as they can make them but I'd thought I'd get my experience out there since no one buying has a chance to test drive it for more than 20 minutes before they have to make their decision to buy, I know that's how it was for me!

Lexus owners have NEVER cared about trim badging. The only badge that mattered is LEXUS. The one feature that's a miss and is a miss on many new Lexus and Toyota is the seating. Many of them are cramped in the 2nd row. It's almost like the driver is the only occupant that matters. For big vehicles, there are growing children and families with car seats and I took my kids to a recent car show and I was disappointed with the interior spacing especially for non-first row on the GX550 and LX600 and other models. This is one area where the engineers need to be way better, especially for the US market. It's the same for the new Tacoma, it's ridiculous.

Panoramic sunroofs are an engineering failure. We will never again buy a vehicle with a pano roof. They don't have a solid sliding interior cover, just a lame piece of fabric which lets in road noise near your ears. Lexus adds a lot of soundproofing to their vehicles so the interior is quiet and the stereo sounds good. The panoramic sunroof destroys that. Stick with the standard Toyota/Lexus moonroof models, you won't regret it!

I don’t like the wiper showing on the back, and the 550 does not look the luxury part and has a huge price tag . Shame on Lexus making the GX look cheap, especially on the interior. This is not the SUV with the legendary V8 . They should have kept it

The lowest based price GX when pay out the door will be close to $70k dollars, so all of them should have the pull-up sunshade for all passengers including the front.

Sad that so many people dont realize that the GX and Tundra dont share the exact same 3.4L TT V6. The defective ones are exclusively in the Tundras, manufactured in the U.S.

I personally want a grand highlander AWD hybrid with a 3” lift kit. 😂

Where is the classic white with the red interior?

And I like the idea people don’t need to know if I’m driving a premium plus and whatever they call them top-of-the-line I know I don’t need anybody else know as long as I know this that’s fine with me

Not happy about the lack of panoramic moonroof that actually opens

I think that all luxury cars should offer optional badge placement and they should do it as a stick on when they give you the car. I always prefer to be anonymous.

Jeff, My chief concern is that Lexus/Toyota is not making their front locking differential available in our market. 🤨

The first thing I hate is that pigtail in the back window. Only GM and Infiniti have figured out to hide it and clean it up.

Panoramic moonroof is the worst and I will never get another vehicle with it. It makes the cabin hotter, too bright and louder.

Why no overhead view?

I wish they offered a light color interior. All options are too dark for me.

Hi there you did a great job on the review here are the three main things that I like and here are the 4 main things that I dislike and don’t like The pros Q it’s one of the few options that you could get a body frame SUV unless you want to get the Range Rover defender 2 twin turbo six cylinder is a little bit more efficient than the V8 3 ML audio Luxury + and Overtrail + have nice features 350 4 10 speed tradition is good 1 Pride z unfortunately Lexus is getting greedy like the European auto makers: BMW, Mercedes, Peach’s, Range Roger . The mark up from the Overtail to Overtrail + is about $10,000, when you add the Ml audio 2 tow - old Vi use to get you 11,000. Ow it’s 9.900 better than the Tahoe but not truck worthy 3 gas is only slightly improved about 17 combined mpg 4 add ons on Luxury + or Overtrail + could bump the price to over $90,000 for a mid-large suc. You could with $70000 get F250 lariat

Just saw a GX 550 (for the first time) in person this morning at a gas station. I am not in the market or demographic for one. I have no idea what trim level it was, but I was not at all impressed by the exterior, especially given that I am guessing that even a base model (with dealer markup) is going for $65~$70k. Take the Lexus badging off, and it could have been a Jeep Wagoneer or a Dodge something or other. Different strokes.........and all that, but (to me), unlike the GX 550, the 200 series Land Cruiser, the GX 460, and the LX 570 look "luxurious" and pleasantly distinctive. Even the new 4 cylinder Land Cruiser (which I have not seen in person), looks very plain and basic (to me) in videos.

Knock the blanks out of the plastic pillar covers. Probably a handful of bolts. I am sure the floorpan for the rear area has the rivnuts for the seat hardware.
