For giving me a solid well built body on frame SUV with a V8, full time 4wd with low range and a center locking differential. I can go where I want, when I want, tow 6500 lbs, and do it in comfort and quiet with a great sound system, while feeling safe every mile. It has been worth every penny I paid for it. Update, 8/20. I have had absolutely no issues with the GX. I drove it 700 miles yesterday and enjoyed the trip. My best mileage was 23.2, which I think is very good for a vehicle this size with a V8. Great vehicle! Update: The GX couldn’t be doing any better! I have not had a single issue, not a squeak or rattle. Love it! Update: Same as the last review, it couldn’t be doing better. 50,000 miles, not a squeak or rattle, paint is show car quality, runs and drives perfect! Update: The GX continues to run flawlessly, not one single issue! Paint and interior still look like new, and not one rattle or squeak. It’s a pleasure to own this Lexus. Update 8/22. This vehicle continues to impress. I have had zero issues and took it in for routine maintenance the other day. They gave me a 2022 GX loaner. I didn’t notice much difference in the way it drove. I thought mine still drove like new and this verified it. I’m getting ready to load it up and hit the road in it in a few days. It’s a pleasure to travel in it, and I’m looking forward to the trip. Update 2/3/23. The GX is still running well with no issues. I had to have the brakes done , but at 69,000 miles, that’s to be expected. Still rattle free and great on the road. Paint and interior holding up well. Update:8/4/23 No issues to report, the GX is still doing the job trouble free. I have seen the update on the 2024. It looks pretty good, but it is a completely different truck, all new, V-6 twin turbo. It may be out of my price range, so I’m glad I’m still satisfied with mine. I think it’s about the most dependable vehicle you can buy. Update: The GX at 82,000 miles is running and driving like new. No issues whatsoever. I just take it to Lexus for normal maintenance when it tells me to and that’s it! No squeaks or rattles, zero. The interior and paint still look great. I washed it yesterday and put a coat of F-11 Pro on it. It looks like brand new. It glows! Update: 9/24 just got it serviced. It has 89,000 miles on it now. No issues. It’s running and driving just fine. I looked at a new GX in the showroom. I’m not crazy about the styling. I might warm up to it after awhile. I won’t warm up to the $81,000 price tag. I walked next door to the Toyota dealer and looked at a new Land Cruiser, but I’m not sure I like it better than the GX I have. I’m considering running this GX until I start having issues with it. I’m really struggling with the prices of new vehicles today. Since I’m having zero issues and still enjoying this GX, I’m sticking with it. I have a friend that has 328,000 miles on one, and he drives it everyday. Update: 2/25. Taking the GX in for 95,000 service this week. No issues, just routine service. It’s time for a set of tires as well. The Bridgestones have 58,000 in them, and though they are not shot, I’m replacing them and will go back with the same tires. The GX is 9 years old now, but still drives like a new truck. I’m impressed with the build quality. A friend has a 2022 BMW X5, that just spent 3 weeks in the shop. I don’t need that stress. My friend with the GX with over 300,000 miles on it, replaced it with a 2023 GX he found with 6000 miles on it. I’m warming up to the styling of the new GX550, but they have had issues with the new twin turbo V6, so I’m going to stick with what I have for now. It’s still going strong.

I purchased my 2017 Lexus GX 460 (V8 4x4) as I simply wanted a vehicle to work, be reliable and look great doing it whilst holding it's value. I can not believe the few whiny, sniveling folks who have complained about nothingness (e.g): "not the best fuel economy" - if 15 to 20+ mpg is bad to you, then you can not afford this excellent vehicle anyway. -Eric (from Coeur d'Alene)

Drove a 2006 Lexus GX for 10 years and 130,000 miles. Not one problem from the day I drove it off the dealer's lot. In August 2016 I purchased a new 2016 GX 460. It is a solid car; extremely quiet and the workmanship is high quality. Very pleased with it. I looked a numerous SUVs ( not crossovers ) and kept coming back to the Lexus GX. For the money it is a good value. Anticipate driving this one for another 10 years.

i have owned many Toyota and Lexus products through out the years and they have all been great. This is my first GX. What a truck! It's luxury meets old school solid off road warrior. I lease my cars and got a Lease quote on a 4 Runner with the TRD package, which I loved, but it's not the type truck you can take to an opera, plus the lease program was not so great. Then I looked at the 2017 GX 460 base model Black exterior with Sepia Nu Lux imitation leather interior and all the 4x4 goods that come on this truck. I was amazed how great it drove and just how old school it still felt, but in a good way. This thing is a true off roader and it's based more on the Land Cruiser Prado than the 4 runner. With driverless cars and the electric vehicles being the desired way of the future. I can't imagine this rough and Tough Lexus being made available to much longer and replaced with something more trendy. For us 4x4 truck lovers. Now is the time to grab a 4Runner, GX, land cruiser before they are gone just like the FJ. I love my GX because it's everything the 4Runner is and much more. Will be buying mine at the end of the lease which is fortunately my option to do so, plus the resale value is so good it's truly a no brainer.

Let me start by saying we did NOT buy this because of the badge on the hood! I have read so many comments at the bottom of reviews for the GX that rip it shreds and proclaim it nothing more than a mall crawler, trophy wife truck and an outdated one at that. I will not disagree that in many instances those comments apply, but I applaud Toyota for offering a BOF SUV with a V8, I only wish I didn't have to buy a Lexus to get it. This vehicle is for my wife, and yes she's my trophy and yes she does a fair amount of mall crawling, BUT....we also regularly tow a travel trailer and aren't afraid to traverse trails, cross small streams or other off road activities with bikes mounted on the roof, kids and dogs in the back. We actually NEED capability and USE it! I am a long time Toyota fan, having owned multiple Tacomas and Lexus LS400's when I was in sales and I can't say enough good about their quality and longevity. I sold my last LS400 with 267k on the odometer running strong! With a travel trailer, two kids and a dog the '03 Tacoma double cab V6 wasn't cutting it for tow duties any longer and we test drove and fell in love with the 4Runner's looks and attitude. What I didn't fall in love with was the 4.0L V6 and 4,700 lb tow rating. With that bad news, my research led me to the "Lexified" version of the 4Runner, aka GX460. From the moment we drove it, she loved the interior feel, looks(controversial) and smooth V8. I liked the 6,500lb tow rating and the interior upgrades over the 4Runner. We looked at Tahoes/Yukons but didn't need that much size, looked at Jeep GC's but wanted a 3rd row and also looked at the Land Rover LR4. I absolutely loved the LR4 and was smitten with it's feel, looks, heritage and off road prowess. She didn't care for it at all, and since we plan to keep this vehicle for a long time I figured it was much wiser to go with a Toyota rather than a Land Rover. I quickly realized that Toyota took a smart pill and figured out "Why sell a V8 4Runner, when you can push consumers to the Lexus brand?" We bought in hook, line and sinker. It's a great truck, albeit heavy,thirsty, and expensive but if you want or need to tow and go off road your choices are pretty limited these days. I'm confident it will serve us well for years to come. If you don't have a need for "duty" get an RX or one of the other countless lifted sedans out there. 11/23/16 Update We have owned the vehicle for a year now and towed a 3,500lb camper over a thousand miles on two occasions. The truck doesn't mind a bit and transports its occupants in style and comfort. A couple caveats: 1) We have seen significantly better mileage using premium fuel, not sure why. 2) It returns about 9-12 MPG when towing our camper 3) It sags a bit more than I care for when towing, but we do not have the self-leveling suspension. 4) The "leather" on the seats is sub-par for a $57,000 truck in my opinion. It is my understanding that this model is going away after 2017, so if you want/need a big body on frame SUV for towing in style with Toyota quality you'd better act quickly.
