10 Things I Love About The Lexus GX460

I'm at 297K miles on my 2010. Original engine and trans. I'm running 285s and a 3" lift. We pull a 3,000lb camper 10 times a year. I have no intention selling anytime soon. Feels like new. Love it.

Victory 4x4 has a lot of parts for the GX, back gate table, winch bumper, and skids/sliders

GXOR community is toppppppp tier, good bunch of people

@10:00 I want to clarify that it is not all wheel drive but instead fulltime four wheel drive

Awesome 😎

I love the swing gate. If you plan on a table, I suggest Ohana Rig Supply tables. No drill, supper strong and stable. And they come with Molle panels.

14:03 this point right here is why I am considering a 2023 GX 460 in 2-3 years for a Lease Return to build out.

The coolant valley leak sound's fun

Couple key differences between GX460 and 4Runner 1) 4Runner has around 1500 Lb payload while GX has 1300 lb payload. So if adding steel bumpers, larger tires etc and all the overlanding gear with a family you will quickly hit the max. 2) GX has more dynamic load capacity on roof at around 300 lb vs around 200lb for 4 runner. So if planning a large RTT GX works well. Overlanding/off-roading (other than rock crawling) with a family of 4, you will realize it will be tough to do it in a bronco or wrangler without compromises like adding a trailer or ditching RTT.

soooo... like us since we got 4 kids we're not gettin a GX550 OT until they put the 3row in 😢😢😢😢

I have a 2010 GX460 with 130,000 miles. I find the 4.6L engine to be very under-powered, and the vehicle is always down-shifting on the highway for the slightest highway incline. Very annoying. And the highway ride is quite rough, especially over bumps. Other than that, it's a great vehicle.

4:30 don’t forget about the international companies that make Prado parts (some need massaging to fit)

Looking heavily into this as my next family vehicle my only concern is I need to put 2 car seats in the third row. I’m sure it’s tight but is it too tight for a toddler front facing car setup for 5-8 year olds?

I think your GX is awesome. I don’t think it has nearly the same presence as your Jeep did, but it’s a great all around vehicle.

Not sure if the statement about the 5th gen 4Runner hunting for gear at 3:57 is true. I have the same 5 speed AT (A750F) in my GX470 and the main difference with the 6 speed AT (A760F) in the GX460 is an extra overdrive 6th gear. Gears 1 to 5 as well as reverse are geared the same as the 6 speed. And if both vehicle are going uphill/towing, you wouldn't be in gear 5 nor 6 (the overdrive gears). Therefore, other than lower engine torque curve on the V6 vs V8 at those rpms (3200 to 4000rpm), both shouldn't be hunting for gears.

I am not as tall 5’10” and I have smacked my head many times on hatches that didn’t go high enough for me (vehicle owners were always much shorter than me).

I thought 4runner SR5 has a third row. While the other trims dont.

The front heated seat is ok but cool ventilated seat didn’t feel cool at all which I needed when it gets hot in Texas. Dealer said that how it is. I have this GX my own.
