Best old school SUV
I have this car for the past 4 months and I love it every time I step in. Now, this car is old school and it lacks some of the latest gadgetry but other than that this car is best the SUV ever. For starters, I like the driving position a lot. It gives you the nice commanding view of the road for which old school SUVs are famous for. The overall visibility from the driver seat is amongst the best. I took the test drive of 2018 Q7 and MDX and I can tell you the driving position and visibility of GX460 is superior to both. Second I like the silky smooth engine and the transmission which in my opinion is the best in the industry. Third I like the ergonomics of this car a lot. Once you take the driving position, every button on the dashboard and steering is very ergonomically located. This is where I feel inspite of lack of technology when compared to the latest cars like Q7, GX460 is still very easy to drive. And the last, the turning radius of this big SUV is surprisingly very small. Its just so easy to maneuver this car because of such a small turning radius (smaller than both MDX n Q7) that you dont find any need of any park assist features that the Germans carry. Also, the 4X4 of this vehicle is legendary, along with the Lexus reliability, this car is perfect Zombie proof vehicle with can go anywhere capability. Now everything is not good, there are some shortcomings like this car is like a tank, its torquey but its slow. Second, it has a bad average fuel mileage and third in 2018 this car lacks modern driver assistance technologies.

GX 460 Premium - Enjoying the Upgrade
I owned Toyota 4Runners for the past 8 years. Averaged 18-19 MPG on them. My most recent was a 2016 SR5 Premium. Although I liked my 4Runner, I felt the ride and features were pretty outdated. No LED headlights, no climate control, no BSM, so-so seats, and a pretty tippy ride. I actually liked my 2007 4Runner better. After looking at a new 2020 4Runner and realizing the equipment and looks still wasn't much different, I decided to try a 2018 GX. I am loving the smoother ride, decent acceleration, and all the luxury features and quiet comfort of a Lexus. And the lights are so much better at night. I have the certified warranty which will last me longer than a new 3 year warranty on a new 4Runner would have. But the biggest surprise is the gas mileage. I am averaging 19 MPG after 2 months. This truck will achieve 20 MPG or better on the highway and other roads if you can avoid a lot of stop and go driving. It feels a little heavier than the 4Runner which it is, but it is smoother and quiet overall. So far, so good.

Way better than expected!!!
The car is awesome! It rides really smoothly, it’s really comfortable, and the space is perfect for what we needed it for.

* LUXURIOUS BEAST
* THIS SUV does "almost" everything well. Smooth and quiet ride, great acceleration and passing capability, looks and comfort make for a great vehicle. The one glaring flaw that I hesitate to bring light to is the cargo space when using the third row seating. You literally cannot put ANYTHING behind the third row seats. Okay, maybe a newspaper but that's even pushing it.

2019 GX460 LEASING IT
Traded in 2016 Rang Rover Sport, Loved the RR all around, but thought I'd save a bit of money and try the Lexus. Its a bit bulky and fuel is TERRIBLE. Guzzler... Power of V-8 is weak. Has a good turning ratio for maneuvering around for parking. Interior is cozy with room, seat comfort is also ok. Heated seat/ cool seat work good. nav screen is big and pretty easy to use. I have put 1000miles so far. Nothing really on the market that didn't either have tiny back window ( and look like every other suv avail) , or was 80k price tag. So far this SUV is OK. I won't be buying another one when this lease is up.

Dog hauler
I have 16,000 miles on my 2018, Starfire pearl/ecru . I actually miss My 2009 GX. This car is heavier, when going to Asheville downshifts to 4th too often. Does get 22 mpg on the highway. Rear windows do not vent out like they used too. Leather seems sub par to me. Radio is not Mark Levinson so that’s disappointing. But it is reliable and a nice size fits in Garage. now has 51,000 odometer after 4 years. not once in shop for a repair only oil and tire rotation. original tires and battery! i paid $56,700 and now dealers asking $50,000. low appreciation!

Decent SUV that is solid but not amazing
Solid vehicle, dated tech. Smaller than the Buick Enclave. My wife is the primary driver and she loves it - I regret we didn't get another Enclave. We have 3 kids, the third row is barely usable.
New Tires Brings On The Vibration
I purchased my GX 460 and was very happy until it was time to replace the breaks, and then the tires at 28,000 miles. I was surprised when I was told by the tech for a required service visit that the front end vibration was due to the break pads being wound down. The vibration continued, but at a different speed and was then told my tires were feathering because the tires that Lexus had on the vehicle was to soften the ride because the tires weren’t ideal for the SUV vehicle weight. After new breaks, and new tires I am still experiencing a vibration between 62 and 70 miles per hour. I had a technician ride with me and he told me it was design flaw in the SUV. Does anyone else have this problem? I am very disappointed in this SUV now and want to trade out of it. #frustratedlexusowner

The GX is Top Notch
The Lexus GX is a great all around luxury vehicle that can do anything you ask it to and then some. It is also a vehicle that can hold up and handle very well in the worst conditions. This is the perfect vehicle for anyone or family who lives outside the city limits and requires the best all around quality and reliability. The GX is a top choice for the demanding vehicle owner.

Amazing GX
Just bought a pre-owned 2018 GX with 38,000 Om’s This vehicle is a dream to drive. The more you drive it the better it feels Can’t wait to drive it in the winter I will never get rid of my GX Some reviewers say the interior is dated I think it is perfect Who cares about all of the modern gimmicks that you will never use
2018 Old school vibe
Excellent vehicle and good right eight. However, seats are not comfortable for everyone. Make sure you test them before you sign the dotted line. Other than that craftsmanship is excellent and the value on these things are superb. Love my GX!!
An SUV that you will rely on for your entire life.
On August 20, 2019. Me and my wife were considering a car that will last long, go offroad, and will not put us down. So, at that time, we considered the GX as our vehicle for the job. So far, the Lexus GX we currently have at this present time is a very fabulous SUV to drive, go offroad with, and taking it on long drives. We wanted an SUV that no matter what happens in any circumstances, it will take us home with no questions asked and it will not fail us and we're very glad we found the right one. It's pretty basic and not complicated to fix compared to other vehicles. The Pros about the Lexus GX is that it's very reliable so far like we didn't receive any issues within the vehicle such as the transmission, engine, electronics, features, etc within 4 years since day 1 from driving it off the dealership lot. In addition of reliability, it's pretty easy and basically like self-explanatory to drive like the vehicle is not complicated and it's just like an old land cruiser. On top of that, we've took this car offroad multiple times. So, we tested on the GX driving on snow, heavy rocks, a very steep hill, and driving it over mud. The GX was able to drive on any type of offroad with no issues which was very impressive. The Cons about the Lexus GX is basically a major gas eater. So basically, since this is a V8, the GX uses lots of gasoline and that's the main bad thing about the GX because now a days, gasoline is very expensive and with this issue, you're going to expect to spend lots of money every month on gasoline. Another thing about the GX is most of the stuff are very outdated. Yes, I understand it's a beauty to have the outdated stuff because it will never fail you in the long run but at least put some features at least if you did it for the LX. Conclusion: The GX in general is an amazing car to drive when it comes to offroad and driving rugged. This can also include road trips and going out such as going from point A to point B. Although to the best of my opinion, it wouldn't be ideal to buy the GX if you're just going to use to work every day because since it's a gasoline hogger and gasoline now a days is expensive. You will be looking to spend more money every month on gas. Although it depends on how you use the vehicle like if you use it on daily basis like normal routines as of going to work every day and your job is either far from your home or closer to your home, it's not really ideal to use the GX for that basis. Other than that, if you want reliability, and you go offroad very frequently and you love to drive in luxury in these 3 reasons. This is the recommended vehicle that I can give you.

Finally have a true SUV
Love the brand, the truck and the reliability. No regrets even with the low mpg.
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.

Excellent SUV! Will Always Drive A Lexus!
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.

Never Again
I purchased this vehicle for my wife after having an excellent experience with a Toyota Tundra. I was looking for reliability and she wanted luxury, both fell short. I’ll touch on the main issue first, reliability. The vehicle is not by any means cheap and with the Toyota/Lexus reputation I expected superior reliability. Early on, we had a check engine light that turned out to be an emissions pump that failed; this is a recall on other vehicles, but not the GX. I don’t remember the exact cost, but it was around $3k, which Lexus did not cover any of that expense. Recently, the radiator went out, which was another $1k (this is sort of a wear and tear issue so I’m not really complaining about it, just mentioning). And finally the issue that ruined it for me, our transmission failed which is a $7k fix. This is considered a luxury vehicle, but compared to competitors it is about 10 years behind the times. The quality of the interior is good, but the dash has not been updated in forever and is honestly less desiarable than any new pickup truck. I will say the LX has been updated, so I would imagine the GX should get a facelift soon.

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.
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

My car
It drives so smoothly but i wish more space for the cargo or the place in the 3rd seat
Big name poor options
Pros: very powerful, smooth ride, handles very good that is it get ready for the cons. Cons: cabin space small second and third row seats are very small. Not much leg room. To get to third row is only from one side and that is a challenge because the seat doesn’t does not release from bottom only back folds. No car play, center console has very basic options and hardly any room. Doors does not Illuminate to see options specially seat memory. Would I buy again? NOOOOOOO WAYYYYYY

Nice Looking, some issues
Overall we like our GX460. However we also own an RX350 and prefer driving that vehicle. The GX460's safety rating aren't as good as the RX350's. It drives clunkier and doesn't handle nearly as well. The back door should just be a regular lift gate style, there's a reason they are ubiquitous. The cup holders are the absolute worst design and placement I've ever had a vehicle. The seat heater/ventilation controls are difficult to access. The cargo space is actually small for the size of the vehicle, gas mileage is poor. But it's a good looking vehicle and we do love Lexus Overall. Would we purchase again? No. We would definitely choose another proven-and-perfected RX350.
