I have been after a Lexus GX for about 6 years and recently made the purchase. For a second I thought I was out of my mind for dropping $50K+ on what is called an “ancient” platform. I thought that for only a second though. This SUV is exactly what I wanted which is a solid, bomb proof, smooth, comfortable and long term reliable 4x4 I can hang onto for the long haul. Criticisms first: 1) No good place to put your cell phone while driving. I think my old iPhone 4 could fit in the space set aside on the center console but that is it. Better cell phone storage with wireless charging would be great. 2) 3rd row seats. Don’t need them, don’t want them and not sure if somebody should be buying this car if they plan on using those seats frequently. I would rather trade the 3rd row seats for a lower cargo area = more room. 3) More interior storage? Kind of scraping for #3….. Likes: 1) If you are the kind of person who performs their own maintenance, this car is great. This is old school Toyota and most major things which will need to be maintained are accessible. 2) Very comfortable seats with a ton of headroom for taller folks. 3) New infotainment is spot on. There is redundancy for most controls with the buttons, touchscreen and trackpad. Stock stereo is decent. 4) This thing is behind on tech? Really? I know at least for me, when researching a car “tech” seems cool while reading about it but turns out more or less useless because I don’t use it after the first week. This SUV has all the important stuff. 5) The build on this car is very high quality. There are not any cheap/cost saving parts on this one. When you step into the SUV, you know it is built to last 6) The drive is great for a body on frame. Road noise is very good and not something you notice while traveling 80mpg on the freeway. The engine and transmission are a great pair. 7) I think this thing looks great and will continue to look great 8) MPG All I will say here is that the 2024 GX with the turbo six is only supposed to get 1 MPG better than the 460? Mmmm, ok. This “dinosaur” still is and will continue to be a amazing SUV. Edmonds and other car review sites have this rated at the bottom which makes me laugh. Not enough “tech”, .5 second 0-60 too slow, etc, etc. I would love to see rankings re-done by the same automotive journalists 6 years and 75K miles later, i.e. after the warranty expires on each of the cars. Range Rovers, Mercedes, BMW’s, Audi? LOL.

Awesome GX460 Premium Plus w/Sport Package

Where to start.....I have always been a Lexus, Toyota fan, and have had many of their cars. My last was a RX350, and I loved it, but decided on something different this time. The GX460 is awesome ! I absolutely love driving this beast ! While there are some reviews that don't favor it as much because of the MPG, are say it has a harsh ride, or it's too old school, well they obviously don't care about a tried and true vehicle, which the GX460 is ! The 2023 has plenty of tech, or should I say all that you need IMO, but still physical buttons which I prefer. I am amazed and blown away at how quiet this SUV is. It is more quiet than the RX350 I drove. The V8 is silky smooth, and pairs well with the 6 speed transmission. The seats are super comfortable in the front. One of the greatest features is also the view, which is one of the best I have had in a vehicle. I love the steering feel and the hold of the road while driving. The Mark Levinson stereo is awesome. The ride height is fantastic ! If you treat it kindly, you can do okay with the mileage. Reminder this is a very heavy vehicle! My drive home after purchase, I got 22 MPG on the highway with a three hour drive. It is a highway cruiser, and super comfortable. The tailgate opens to the side which can be awkward for some, but I love it, and you can open the rear glass up and easily and put things in the back without opening the tailgate. The fit and finish is one of the finest I've seen. Excellent paint, everything lines up perfectly. It was very easy for me to make the decision to buy this vehicle because it has basically been unchanged for over 10 years, just a few cosmetic changes here and there. To me that makes it very reliable. I have the Eminent White exterior color with the Ecru interior, and dark gray wheels. It gets plenty of looks! It's sharp!! I highly recommend this GX460. If you can afford to get one, gas should not be a worry, just enjoy a very sought after tank of an SUV to go off road, or to cruise down the highway.

Serious car person here. The GX is so dependable. Easy to service and wonderful quality. This is the Seiko watch of the automotive world. Doesn’t attract attention and will get you home. Not exciting but dependable and that is good enough.

Chose 2023 over 2024

Traded in my 2010 GX460 that was a reliable beast. The 2023 is improved over the 2010 with the infotainment and safety features in addition to the Nuluxe interior. My 2010 had real leather and it did not age well. I got the premium plus package with Mark Levinson, as I didn’t want or need the air suspension in the Luxury. I expect this to last just as long as my last. Absolutely love these cars . I was underwhelmed by the 2024 specs with the twin turbo and only 1mpg more. I’ve had turbos before and they just don’t offer the long term dependability of naturally aspirated engines.

Old, comfortable and reliable.

I knew that the 2024 Lexus GX was going to be a totally new, revamped SUV, but when I heard that the old V8 was not going yo be in the 2024 model my doubts about the new model grew. The Lexus saleswoman also informed me that the new 2023 Lexus GX was going to be avaiblf in limited numbers for the better part of 2024 so there was no expectation for a custom color and options-I would have to settle for whatever model and color came into the Lexus dealership. There was also going to be base price increase of several thousand dollars too over the 2023 GX. One test drove in the 2023 Lexus GX sold me! The tide was silky smooth, quiet, stately and very comfortable! I have owned my 2023 Lexus GX for 6 months and every time I get into the vehicle I smile to myself at having such a beautiful automobile! The V8 is as smooth as an old Cadillac from decades past! The technology is better than my old reliable Toyota FJ Cruiser! I did not want a twin-turbo V6 and I did not want to purchase a new model year GX redesign, which will need several years to work through the inevitable new model teething issues.
