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've owned 2 Lexus GX460's. One I leased and one I bought after ending the lease and had made the mistake of purchasing a new Nissan Murano, which I traded back in. The Lexus has the best headlamps of any vehicle that I have ever owned, including 2 Mercedes models. It is quiet and smooth riding, accelerating well. The interlock brakes stop the vehicle immediately, thank goodness, in a couple cases. Terrific in snow, rain, it feels like a fortress. The rear barn door is much better than a liftback. Great sound, instruments, seat positions, luxurious inside and out. Reliable and perfect to get me to work in all weather. Yes it's an 8 cylinder, about 18-19 miles to the gallon, worth it.

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

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.
