Handling is poor. Especially for a Lexus

I recently purchased a 2018 GX460. This is my sixth Lexus and by far the worst experience I've had with any of the previous vehicles. The steering has slack - much like a 1960s vehicle. On the highway at high speeds I'm constantly correcting the steering. I've taken it back to the dealership twice and explained the problem. They said that's just the way it is. I even drove another new GX on the lot ... same issue. The technician said Lexus had recently redesigned the suspension and it does not handle like precious GX models. I would not recommend this model.

Full size 18” spare

The GX has a full size spare tire. And the wheels and tires are not the horrible low profile tires that ride like steel rims. Some SUV’s have run flat tires that will leave you stranded after 50 miles and others have reduced size spare tires. The GX would be perfect if they provided it with the luxury seats of the LX.

I stole this title from a YouTube video I watched before buying one of these. You have to know what this is before buying it. This is an old school vehicle. It is incredibly well built, will handle any weather you can throw at it, and will last forever if you do just basic maintenance. It is not fast, it is not fuel efficient, it does not have the latest tech. But it is a supremely well made machine that will carry you, your family, your boat/toys comfortably and quietly anywhere and back. My father owned 2 of the older LX470 vehicles and they drove just as well with 150k miles on them as when they were new. If you know anything about the GX or any of the other vehicles that come from this Toyota factory, they are built to LAST. You will notice that with everything you touch in this vehicle. It is built to be used hard and still work great many years from now. I really hope that Lexus does not discontinue this product as I would love to buy an updated one that still uses the same body on frame robust build quality, while perhaps taking the chance to add some modern features that this vehicle is lacking.

2017 GX Premium- Baby Land Cruiser

Looked for years at buying a land cruiser or 4 runner. Ended up buying a certified used GX. Great value for a low mileage vehicle that is warrantied for the next 2.5 years with unlimited mileage. Absolutely love the look and feel of this truck. V8 is music to my ears and the build quality is excellent. I feel like I’m driving a mini tank that can handle just about anything. Tech isn’t great but good enough for me. I’m getting around 20mpg combined which isn’t bad for a vehicle of this weight. Wish it took regular gas vs premium but not a big deal.

Good realiable SUV. It's not as fancy as other SUV'S but, it's a tank in disguise.
