Had 2016 RX

Full disclosure total Lexus person. Had prior Mercedes but did not want to get into maintenance- which was 1000+ on old 2010 ML (okay I know to be expected). Wife had 2010 ML but I purchased 2010 ES - great car not BMW or Mercedes but not looking for that. 10 years later my son has ES. Last year got CPO RX - at first loved it- only drawback was seemed to me tried to make acceleration too sporty (full disclosure I am 52). If wanted that would have gotten BMW. Flash forward a year and looked at GX- always wanted one. Read all the reviews - it is truck based SUV and if looking for Audi/BMW look elsewhere. Also was looking for more room than RX , little sturdier ride and higher position. Would recommend second row captains chairs rather than bench. With three kids in college going to have for awhile. Lexus CPO best too as walk away with 3 year warranty on 2018 model.

True SUV with real off-road capabilities

Far and above more reliable than a Land Rover / Range Rover, BMW or MB with resale that is legendary. If you get the Luxury Package, you get it all. Sure it does not ride like a RX but it is a body-on-frame and has a real V8, AWD and air suspension for heavy loads. I like this so much that I bought another for myself as the other is my wife’s. The build quality is extremely high and it is very quiet but plenty quick. On a road-trip to the mountains, it got 20.7 mph with 4 people and full of luggage - almost 9 mpg better than my last vehicle. Be sure to get the Luxury model as it will come with real leather, go black if you want it to age well and not show dirt. At 83k miles, only routine maintenance and scheduled maintenance have been done. Still runs flawlessly. Still love it after 5+ years.

Loved my 2004 GX 460 better than my 2018

Make sure it’s comfortable. Gas is worse rougher ride overall. I wish I kept my 2004

After having technology issues with another brand my husband decided to spoil me and got me a brand new one with 2 miles on it! He is always around Lexus products I never has really had any problems with them, until this one! From technology issues with phone syncing, voice recognition issues, navigation map issues, to excessive bouncing rough vibrations from front right end, constantly having tires balanced, road force, even had to have my Michelin tires replaced sooner than normal because they wore out before their time, bad tires. New tires still have the balance tires constantly, check alignment, extremely bumpy ride all the time they keep saying it’s normal for the type of platform a four-wheel-drive that it is. But yet I can get into other vehicles of theirs that are loaners that are of the same model and they ride smooth as a baby’s a.. Camera issues with the screen freezing or slow to switch back to normal screen they can’t figure out the problem says everything checks out normal no codes. I have had to have the brain replaced in it. And still have the same problems and more new problems. I feel terrible complaining to my husband about it because we spent a lot of money on this one and it’s nothing but a headache. And if it wasn’t so much work to file a lemon law soon I would’ve done it already and still may it’s just so much work!!
