There's an issue I've noticed with a lot of car reviewers that really needs to be brought to attention. There is a marked and distinct difference between "outdated" and "still being used because it's the most reliable, intuitive, and maintainable machine built in the past 20 years".

I thought I'd hate the barn door, but I actually like it. I would probably feel different if I lived in the city, but then again I probably wouldn't even own a GX in the first place. I love the fact that you can buy a brand new old-school SUV. The fact that it's not "modern" is THE selling point. Buy it and you won't need a new car for 20 years.

I have a 2010 Lexus GX 460. It now has 180,000 mi. I have had zero issues with it ever. I've replaced the battery twice, brakes, and tires. It still sounds new and drives like the day I got it. Nothing on the inside creeks and rattles. I have kept it in my garage but it literally looks new on the outside and inside. I get it serviced at the Lexus dealership in New Orleans. They have never once told me that I needed to do anything to it other than just the oil change etc. I think they are very well worth the money. If I'm on a long road trip and just interstate driving, I get about 22 MPG. Just random City highway probably is around 19. I've always used premium gas.

Agree CPO is the way to buy these!

Traded in a Jeep Gladiator and a Mercedes SL550 so we have rudimentary and high tech and I think the Lexus falls Squarely in the middle. Not overly crude and not overly complicated. FCA and Mercedes both made me nervous, Lexus gives me peace of mind in the reliability area. We love Ours.

We have the sibling out here in Germany, the Land Cruiser 150/Prado. And it just has a 2.8 liter four cylinder Diesel.

2012 Gx ... super smooth V8 , 6 speed trans shifts like butter , pulls pretty damn well @ 2k let alone 3 or 4k rpm, excellent traction in foul weather , rear hatch/barn door means no ducking under or hitting head on tailgate , 22mpg highway , locking differential - Hi/Lo transfer case , relatively easy maintenance for the DIYer , international parts availability , runs on regular gas just fine if you want , ample storage compartments , no bs tech garbage , more offroad worthy than your annoying neighbors wannabe monster truck

I have one of these and I like the back door because I'm 6ft 4 and hit my head on low doors of other vehicles all the time. I have never had issues with opening the door anywhere in my city, but maybe some of the more congested cities it could be challenging.

100% agree with the side swing door. I get that is a platform design and Lexus (Toyota) will not redesign for a small US market. However, this was one of the factors that led me to sell my GX and pick up an LX. I am all about that split tailgate life!

Direct fuel injection system is good when they are new, when it get older the intake valves get clogged up and loose a lot of horsepower, it requires a lot of maintenance,

In my country, I drive its Toyota version known as a Land Cruiser 150 Prado with a 4.0 V6. It definitely feels all the weight, despite being lighter than its Lexus sibling.

great informative video!

I have a 2021 GX never once had an issue with the barn door. Love the barn door and the pop up window. In parking lots door has plenty of room. In city parking I just use the pop up window. Glad it opens the way it does so when I get out of the drivers seat I just go in back and open it close to me. Not dated, instead engendering masterpiece. Bullet proof engine. ❤gx

Hello, may I ask why you like the barn door style over the hatch? Curious to know. Thanks

I bought my new GX 460 because it was "outdated". The body on frame is what sold me. This rig feels safe and solid, compared to other SUVs. I don't care about the infotainment center, because I don't use that Apple Car Play or anything else like it. The satellite radio works well enough for me. The nice lazy V8 is sooo much better than any four cylinder I've had in recent years. There's plenty of oomph when I need it. But you're right about that rear door taking up extra space. It's something that I've gotten used to, and it's not an issue. This GX feels like my favorite pair of slippers, very comfortable. I'd be content driving this rig forever. Plus, the gas mileage is fine with me. If I wanted an economy car, there are lots of other choices, but not for me.

If you’re using it off road, the back door opening is preferred. I also prefer mechanical instrument clusters as more than a tach, a speedometer, fuel and temperature gauge is plain extra.

Real good review citing pros and cons of the LX 460. Probably the best I've seen on KZread. The LX 460 comes with outdated and antiquated stuff inside but that isn't necessarily negative. I've been going to showrooms lately and encountered new features I don't care for, at all. Give me antiquated and outdated that come with bullet proof reliability and dependability. Don't need Apple Car Play or Android Auto, Start Stop and a gigantic screen, among other things some find them desirable. Should i decide to get the LX 460 I'd get it preowned because it'd be cheaper than new, quite a bit so and since it's reliable it'd have plenty life left. Yours is an impressive review and I'm subscribing.

The door being hinged on the left for left hand drive markets would be a smart move.

With the side opening back door it makes putting things that are tall in the back easier. And you if your 6’1” or taller and loading something that’s a little heavy you don’t have to bend over at all when loading it easier on the back. IMO Not having direct injection in the GX is a big plus the 4.6 that’s in the gx is a lot More reliable than any direct injection engine. As far as Lexus interiors most of the interiors in Lexus vehicles now are cheap they are using fake leather. Even in the GX except in the luxury model. Bought my GX new in 2016 and I love it no problems what so ever. my least favorite part of the GX is the front grill. When I buy another vehicle most likely will be another GX.

You didn’t exactly say this, but for clarity the GX isn’t a nicer 4Runner. They are different platforms. The GX is based on the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado.

V8 runs smooth, great power delivery, lasts long, will take to anywhere u wanna go and safe return reliably. I think u can't get all these from others. People say its toyota badge, but mate it lasts forever. 😊

Where the GX is sold as a Prado they often mount the spare tire on the swing door which allows for larger fuel capacity in the space vacated by the spare.

I was looking at the 2022 Rx for my wife, and she also test drove the 2022 GX460 which now has newer infotainment, surprisingly she loved the GX because of the V8 and the comfy ride it provides.

If anyone owns the one with the adaptive suspension, please let me know if that makes much different in the comfort or ride. Thanks

We have the adaptive suspension on our luxury and we love it. I would say it’s not necessary to enjoy the GX though. The ride quality of the standard suspension is still quite nice. You can tell a difference with all the settings on ours but we don’t move the switch very often from comfort mode.

good and balanced review

Dont worry about the swinging door. It’s great. 3rd row is for kids in an emergency. Just don’t use it if it’s too small. This is the best car in the world. Most reliable engine, comfortable, fun to drive and own. The 2022 has upgraded infotainment. This vehicle will last forever, and I plan to keep mine that long.

the side swing door is not good in a raining day, but other than that, I am ok with it.

We currently own a 2019 4Runner TRD thinking about stepping up to the GX. 4Runner is a great vehicle and we love the old school bullet proof design,but to be honest it’s not very comfortable on trips especially the passenger seat. Is the Gx really worth another 25k? Thanks

Beat Sonic has a nice upgrade for the infotainment system.

I love the Lexus GX

If I could buy a new *1999 4runner* I would buy that over any SUV available today. I like old tech but the 99 is not available so I ordered a *Green 2022 460 "Black Line special"* . It should be at the port of los angeles on the Sept 24th. I know a new gen 460 is around the corner but it might have a V6 twin Turbo and direct injection which I would not buy. I only want the naturally aspirated V8. The current 5th gen 4runner it is as old as the 460, both were released in 2010. I nice feature of the 4r is that the rear window can be lowered.

I have a 2018 and it’s a great vehicle.

I think Lexus sticks with old school tried and true technology until they can fully test whatever they are going to upgrade to next. Its why they update the body style but keep all the mechanical parts the same. It's why they use the same engines for many years and just update them periodically. It why they stick with a V8 when other manufacturers are using more efficient turbo 4 cylinders. Those turbo fours will be burning oil and breaking down less than 100k miles later because they are overworked pulling an SUV's weight. Lexus V8 will lazily pull this car along for 20 plus years with no issues. I think they also could get more power from their engines but prefer longevity over performance. I think they have the right strategy. However for this car they really should have at lest updated the interior and infotainment system. I think doing that would raise the costs however so they just save their resources for the eventual refresh. Just over $50k for a Lexus SUV really isn't bad. A top model Dodge truck will run you $70k or more. The interior might be nicer but if the car wont last who really cares. Most cars are made to last 10 years but a Lexus is made to last a lifetime, well at least 20-30 years that is.

If I were to ever get rid of my 5th gen 4Runner it would be for this generation of GX.

Just got a 2022 with 19k miles. I guess I’m spoiled because I got the updated screen with CarPlay lol

I don't think the interior looks dated. Many newer cars look fantastic until you start touching the materials... The exterior has a big presence. We have two of these and a runner in the household. They are ridiculously cheap to maintain and get parts for. The 4runner is not bad at all, but the Lexus will hold its value much better as it's one of the best and last V8 off-road body-on-frames.

Very good review!

I plan to trade in my 2011 LX570 to either a 2022 LX or GX. This will be the last model year that a V8 is offered.

There’s also can be problems that come with direct injection. Pay at the pump or pay at the repair shop

Beautiful truck, only thing I don't like is the back trunk door, they should change how it opens, my LX470 opens towards the ceiling, not like this, it's like a door opening, not door for some garages and parking spaces.IMO!

The new Ford Bronco also comes with a right swinging rear door.

The KDSS suspension is a sweet option. I have it on my 2011 and can feel as soft and smooth as a sedan when set to comfort mode. Oh, and I get 26.5mpg on highway driving set to 60mph.

Completely agree. Just look at the intake valves of a BMW straight 6 turbo direct injection engine. Oil catch can help with carbon build up but Toyota/Lexus knows what they are doing with port injection. My 2015 GX460 and 2003 Toyota Tundra with 200k miles still running strong.

After having 3 jeep grand Cherokee limiteds all new, all babied, all having significant mechanical problems when approaching 9,000-11,000 miles. I bought a GX460 premium with sport package in 2021. I now have 19,000 miles on it. Though that may seem low for the amount of time I’ve had it that’s my normal driving. Unlike the jeeps this Lexus has been trouble free. The only thing I’ve done is replaced the rims and tires with 18” wildpeaks AT 3 W’s the stock Dunlop’s sucked and there are very limited offerings in 19” tires to fit the stock rims. Other than that I could not be more pleased with the GX.
