I don't get this. Why is this truck not getting 5 stars in every review . I traded a 2014 VW Touareg TDI for the Lexus. I got tired of the running that the dealer give me. ( Is normal is a German car, is build for performance). Well, in my eyes , the most important thing is to get me where i want to go without having to call a tow truck. Lexus , please don't pay attention to all these spring journalist that think , they know what and how a truck should perform. Please keep making this truck the way it is. I would love to have that 2.8 diesel engine that is been sold everywhere around the world but <<<< for now i will settle for this silk smooth 4.6 engine . Maybe a little turbo ??? next generation ?? in about four years .

This is our third GX. Our '04 GX 470 had almost 200k miles. It's cooling pipe went bust on the freeway, by the time we pulled to the next exit it over heated. It ran another 6 months afterwards before we sold it to CarMax. We bought the new '15 GX and it was totaled a month later after being rear ended by a careless driver. The frame buckled and the rear bumper had the guys front end imprinted on it. I was able to walk away with only a stiff neck.. the other driver had a fractured jaw, broken arm and leg and ribs. The GX saved my live. We bought our third GX a few weeks later. This is a heavy traditional SUV, the acceleration is measured and "stately". Fuel economy is in the high teens, not bad for this type of vehicle. Handling is good if you get used to the truckiness. On the freeway, it is stable and quiet. It's not the quickest, but it does get to 80 to 90 mph before you know it. The only complains I have is the poor placement of the two USB ports in the center console. When plugged in, the sliding hatch cover have to be open. And there are no power ports for the 2'nd row. It got a little irritation having to charge the Kids' ipads on long trips. The Lexus roof rack cross bars are nice looking, however, they sit too close to the roof making tying down cargo a bit difficult. also you need a Torx key to move them. I liked the old GX's roof rack, with plenty of tie in points to strap your cargo. Update, we got side swiped by some guy in a beat up 300. We must be cursed in our GX! The damage was extensive, from the front bumper to the back bumper. The wife barely felt the impact, another testament to the safety of this truck. Luckily only body damage sustained. 6 weeks and $13000 later, the truck was fixed with new bumper, fenders, doors, side step. The only new gripe I have is the stock tires worn out faster than the tire warranty, and the ride is noticeably harsher than before. We will be getting new meats for the truck soon.

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. Update: 8/25. Just completed the 100,000 service. No issues to report. It’s running like it always has, great. Had a tech come to the waiting area and ask me what I use on the paint, because it looks so good. I told him F-11 Pro, and suggested he go online and check it out. It makes it glow. Be heading out on a road trip in a few days to our 2nd home. Looking forward to it as it’s a pleasure to travel in.

Just traded in my 2013 RX for the 2016 GX, which is what I should have gotten in the first place instead of the RX. Can't say enough about how much I love it. Great ride -- feels much more substantial than the RX (although the RX was great), and has all the features I need. Yes, the new remodeled RXs definitely have more bells and whistles but the GX is fantastic!

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)
