Suited for world’s end

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.

I have 2015 Lexus Gx460 that is at the shop for leaning to passenger side. When you drive the car sometimes it feels like the car have the front flat tire and it’s not. The car by it self is lowered one left side i mean the hood is lower to the groun than the right side. Took it to dealership and they everything is by specs. Even it does show when u measures with tape measure from ground to the fender one side is lower then the other one for like a inch. Not satisfied with that.

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.

Don’t get stranded in the middle of nowhere

We HAD (with emphasis) a 2018 Lexus GX 460 with only 27,000 miles on it when the alternator decided to completely fail. We live in a very remote area in the summer that is not close to a Lexus dealership so we had a local mechanic replace the alternator. When we returned to our main residence in Florida we took the vehicle to the dealership we purchased it from for a checkup and presented them the bill for replacing the alternator. The service representative said they would submit it to Lexus for reimbursement and we should get a check within a few weeks. Weeks passed and finally we received a call from our rep saying we would have to deal directly with Lexus Corporation. The corporate office made us jump from hoop to hoop while knowing full well they had no intentions of reimbursing us because we didn’t use a “certified Lexus mechanic”. Lexus has always touted themselves as a “customer comes first” company. Clearly these core values have gone by the wayside. Additionally their quality control that they have always prided themselves in has totally gone down the tubes. After reading all these negative reviews I can see I’m not the only one who has issues with this company. We will not be buying any more Lexus vehicles in our lifetime and many of our friends who own a Lexus will hear our story. Sadly Lexus will be keeping OUR $921.97. They apparently will need it to keep their head above water from all of their problems.
