Bought this car after driving 4Runners for 25 years. Considered it to be more luxurious version of my previous cars. Finding so many features I don't like: needs hi-test gas, poor gas mileage, poor interior design (cup holders in awkward posituon, less accessible places for change etc), awkward side-opening back door (does not protect me from rain, awkward loading large packaged).

Everyone knows this is an ancient platform with ancient technology and poor fuel economy. Really, really poor fuel economy. I average 14 mpg. The payoff is epic reliability and a delightful V8. My truck has just under 130k, and yes, this is a true truck, and it has had no trouble nor repairs. My Luxury trim has the great Mark Levinson sound system, and I'm satisfied with the interior materials and appearance. The third row is tight, but smaller adults will fit back there, if they are flexible enough to make the crawl. If the third row is up, you won't fit anything except a folded umbrella in the cargo area. Here is the deal breaker - even with the rear air suspension, and the sophisticated electronic shocks, this thing rides horribly. So, so rough and bouncy. You bobble and bounce and judder down the road. The rear air suspension continuously bottoms out with a hard smack when you compress the air springs. It's embarrassing and absolutely nothing like the previous GX 470, or most other Lexus models. This has been the case with expensive Bridgestone and Michelin tires. I am bewildered when professional reviewers find the ride to be acceptable or even a pro of this vehicle. There are many other vehicles that are better suited for a comfortable suburban life. If you live in Australia, Africa, or Antarctica, this may be for you. Otherwise, save gas and your spine and look elsewhere.

What an expensive mistake!!

I use my 2016 Lexus GX 460 all day every day and I am reminded of how much I regret my purchase. My only consolation is the smooth ride and it ends there. The GPS is not accurate, telling you "you have arrived" if you are in the vicinity. I do not expect the GPS to drop me off at the exact location, but at least bring me to the right street. Also when you are "close enough" in their opinion, it tells you to "look at the the map". I am not new to GPS cars and this is the worst I've ever used. Even the Ford Focus car rental GPS is way better. I find myself using my phone to navigate which is counter productive considering I supposedly have a GPS in the car. Another concern is you have to press the screen 4x to just get air conditioning, adjust the amount of air, or change direction of air. This is a hazard when driving. The Apps also do not work. I cannot even use the Pandora and always get a "tether error." How can Lexus make electronics so complicated than what they should be? Their engineers should test drive and use their electronics to experience the pain of using it. Horrible!!!!!

Bulletproof reliability - but terrible otherwise

This SUV is built like a tank with reliability, durability and longevity second to none. The interior is nicely done and of course its off road prowess is also second to none. The ride is also surprisingly comfortable and absorbent for a true body-on-frame SUV designed to tackle some really tough terrain. Sadly that is where the positives end. The GX masquerades as a "luxury" vehicle when it is not luxurious in the least. There is more to a luxury vehicle than putting some leather and some fancy gadgets inside. The GX has one of the ABSOLUTE WORST powertrains there is. The engine is simply horrendous! It is EXTREMELY noisy, sounding like a vacuum-cleaner on the slightest of grades. Even on the freeway at about 60 to 70 mph the exhaust drone gets very tiring after a while. Pretty shocking for so called "luxury" vehicle. The engine is also not the smoothest and pretty bad actually for a V8. There are some on here that have stated that this vehicle is "extremely quiet". These folks are likely certifiably DEAF if they can't here the constant droning from the engine, which is the worst from around 1800 RPM to around 2600 RPM. That was an absolute deal breaker for me, and it is why I got rid of mine, even though this was a very difficult decision, as I do consider reliability as one the top most important aspects of a vehicle. In short, I do not recommend this vehicle at all. If it were a bare bones vehicle it would probably be OK, but for a high end luxury vehicle it is a joke!

Lexus still can't get technology and support down!

This is my 2nd GX 460. I love how it drives and handles. When my 2012 came off lease I went to another brand because Lexus was not keeping up with the technology such as remote start, adaptable cruise control, integration with smart phones... But shortly after getting my wife her 5th RX I checked out the advances in the 2017 GX technology and appeared they'd done a good job catching up, so I pulled the pin on a 2017 in Dec 2016 and everything was great until March. I've got Lexus Technology Support on "speed dial" I've talked to them so much. Enform remote just refuses to work. Started out as "system upgrade issue" and went down hill from there. Three times I've been told that they have to "create a special ticket to resolve my issue and someone will contact me in 24-48 hrs". NEVER HAPPENED! Even the local dealer tech guy has been frustrated in trying to help me out. You would think that a company that builds great cars, has great dealers (I've bought 7 Lexus's since 2000), would be able to roll out a technology upgrade without screwing it up.

I was looking for a midsized SUV that could tow a decent load and have a good 4 wheel drive system. I have a boat on a mountain lake where we also have a house with a fairly steep driveway. The GX has a standard equipped 6,500 tow rating which is much better than most in the class. It also can really take on any road condition well ahead of its competitors. You may get a fancier looking vehicle in this class, but with a Lexus nameplate and the capability there is not many that present the value you get with this vehicle. 70,000 miles in now and no issues.
