Lexus GX 460 Snow Day!

We took the GX up to the snow to test it's winter off road capabilities and throw some snow balls. This one is a bit experimental since I'm usually in the studio on script. Let me know what you guys think in the comments below! We'll talk about whether you should use Toyota Atrac, low range, airing down or even 4 wheel chains in a slippery winter driving situation.

    Sure. I got an LX recently and realizing now that it’s too expensive to do what I really want it to. Hoping to trade it in and get a GX.

    Lo range doesn't make the engine move faster... it's a gear reduction... thus slower speed, but more torque... In slippery situations use 4H with 2nd start... that will put down less torque

    Low range doesn’t produce more torque, it multiples the torque

    The rack I was running in this video bolts up to the factory cross bars. Its a Yakima Locknload size K. Links to it and review here - kzread.info/dash/bejne/f6V-yrdqmKjKYbg.html Thanks for watching!

    Well that depends on the brand of the tire, if you carry it inflated and how determined you are. Check the GXOR tire database I linked in the description of the tires and wheels video I did.

    265/70/17 and 265/65/18 often fit. But it depends on the tire brand and which style hitch you have. One trick with factory hitch is to loosen hitch attachment bolts and push the hitch out so those sizes fit. You can also slightly deflate. Don’t forget to re-torque to spec.

    Rob did a much better job of answering that than I did. Thx Rob. The other consideration is the factory hitch. I hear you can get a 285 in there with out a hitch if you deflate it and ratchet strap it. Not a great option, but gets you a 285 without a spare carrier. You'll just need a compressor to use the spare. No worries though, I've got a video for that too : )

    Great video and there’s no way the GX is a poor mans Land Cruiser. It is a Land Cruiser 150 Prado in a posh suit. Just a pity you don’t get the Diesel engine and manual gearbox.
