Some say it’s dated. For me it’s perfect. V8 power, tried and true, full time 4wd, 6500 pound towing capacity, body on frame. It’s been a pleasure to own, no problems, zero. Build quality, paint, interior, all great. This is a quality vehicle that will give you many years of service. Update 10/22. The GX has been perfect with zero issues. Still drives new and no rattles. Interior still looks new. Still feeling good about this purchase! Update 4/20/23 Just passed 70,000 miles. Had the front brakes done along with the scheduled maintenance. No issues at all to report. The GX still runs and drives as new, with not a squeak or rattle. The paint and interior are still great and I get compliments on it. The phone companies recently phased out 3G and it affected some of my telematics, which is disappointing, because Lexus is not offering any repair/updates to upgrade the truck to 4G. These are great vehicles and if your looking at a used one buy a 2019 or newer, which have 4G. Update 10/20/23: no issues to report. I just got back from an extended trip to several states. She was loaded down but performed well in the mountains. For a 2016 with 81,000 miles to still be as tight and rattle free is impressive. I will look at the all new 2024, but it may be out of my price range. These are great vehicles. Update: 4/24. The GX is still running perfect. No issues to report. Paint and interior still holding up very well. I use F11 Pro on the paint and get compliments on the truck all the time. No squeaks or rattles. I’m not sure you can buy a better built or more reliable vehicle. Update: 10/24 still going strong at 92,000 miles. Zero problems of any kind. Still runs and drives like new. Having a hard time deciding to keep it or trade it. When you hit 100,00 miles, you take a pretty good hit on resale. If I keep it much longer, I may just drive it until it acts up. That could be a while, I have a friend that has one with 328,000 miles. He drives it every day. Update: 4/25 Just had 4 new tires put on my GX. The SUV now has 97,000 miles on it and is running perfectly. Zero issues, as usual. I take it to the Lexus dealer for all routine maintenance, and keep all of that up to date. I usually trade vehicles before 100,000 miles, but after driving several SUV’s and thinking it over, I’m keeping this one for now. I’m still concerned about the V6 issues Toyota/Lexus is having with new engine that replaced the V8’s in new trucks and SUV’s, including the GX550. I just couldn’t find anything I was willing to trade for, because I really like what I have. In 2 weeks I will be heading north for an extended trip in it, and have absolutely no concerns. At this stage of my life, reliability means a lot to me and I have it with this vehicle.

MPG is not great, tech is okay with Apple Car Play, but that’s not really the point of this vehicle….. this is a very rugged and luxurious SUV. It really is the Japanese G Wagon. The styling stays pretty much the same year after year and it’s near timeless. Safety is incredible and off road capabilities are as good as any 4x4 Jeep or truck if not better. Very hard to beat the value.

Rugged SUV

I watched and read many reviews on this vehicle and eventually purchased one with the Premium trim. First off, it's a body-on-frame vehicle and it drives like that - I like it, some may not. On the stock tires, the ride is pretty smooth. Even over rough roads and bumps - did I mention it's a body-on-frame SUV...The V8 is responsive - not incredibly quick but strong enough. I get 17.5 mpg on mixed driving. Every review mentions that it has an ancient engine and transmission. Other than the gas mileage, it performs well and it's bulletproof. If you're looking for a proven vehicle that can handle the rough stuff and comfortably tackle the daily drive, this is a great choice.

I've read the reviews over the years for this vehicle and it turns out the most of what "car reviewer" say is correct. But here's the rub, when compared to Mercedes it cost far less to operate in terms of maintenance cost and resale value. This means your money stays where you put it. And compared to Range Rover reliability is where the GX460 takes the easy win. If you like the the Range Rover dealership experience you'll get plenty of it just trying to keep it slapped together. If you need to impress your friends and neighbors in the short term, by all means you should buy something other than a GX460. If you need a vehicle of this type and size but you want to be able to transport you and those important to you anywhere at any time and not worry about whats going to break next the GX is the better choice. I'd like to see the ride quality improve along with the gas mileage on the GX460, but not at the expense of reliability. If you ever asked why the average age of an airplane is 25 years old and why some airlines are using aircraft that have been out of production for over 15 years, take a closer look at the GX460's build quality and compare.

The 2022 GX is rock solid. It has everything I need and nothing I don’t. No bling just bulletproof reliability. Give me the Japanese quality over the German-built eye candy all day every day. My third Lexus and will not be my last. I have owned my GX for 9 months, and I like it more now that when I brought it home.

This is a great SUV for families. Plenty of room and easy to drive. If you’re looking for good gas mileage, this isn’t the vehicle for you. I was more interested in reliability and comfort. The gas mileage is why I have it 4 stars. Overall it’s a great SUV that I will own for many years to come.

It’s not ahead of other vehicles of its type and class but it is very good. I appreciate its old school essence. I’m very pleased with my 2022 GX. The GX has been going strong for over 10 years; that is why I made the purchase.

I just bought my 4th Lexus GX 460. They all have gone over 125,000 miles without any major isssues. The handle well and are unbelievably dependable. I had owned several other luxury automobiles and this vehicle cost me less to maintain than any. That includes Cadillac, Mercedes and Jaguar. Nothing comes close to these vehicles. And my dealership, Sterling McCall, ism by fat the best I have ever dealt with in my life. Wouldn’t buy anything but a Lexus. And never have it serviced by anybody but Sterling McCall. Sterling McCall and Lexus are the very best.

Smoother ride but interior design does not impress

Even though I was told new 2022 GX 460 has the same engine and transmission as previous years I feel the ride is smoother now. The engine and or fan do not sound as rough as my 2019 GX460. As far as the interior redesign, the new 10.3" navigation screen is actually smaller in height which makes a difference in seeing the route. I have to zoom out more which makes the map smaller than the previous screen built into the console. It is also more exposed to the sunlight. There is an optional anti-glare screen Lexus has when you perform a custom build, but dealers do not have it in stock yet. On a plus side, Lexus finally exposed physical fan more/less buttons but still hides AC. Now I have to do even more clicks to turn it on/off. Overall, the new screen introduced more clicks than the previous. I hate it. The touch pad is disruptive to driving and I do not know anyone who likes it. I have not tried the Apple or Android app that can pair with the SUV to allow mirror features of an Apple/Android device, such as a smartphone, on a car's dashboard information and entertainment head unit. This will be nice to mirror google maps as I find traffic info is much better on my Android phone.

Uncomfortable

Bought a ‘22 Premium plus new and within 2 weeks never before back pain started. The seats are low flat and the frame for the “ventilation” fan jams in the back with very little padding. The seats are also bucket style which hurts your hips. I absolutely love the vehicle but had to trade it due to the crippling back pain. If it fits you then it’s the best, but these seats are known for poor comfort.

Overall, I love my 2022 GX 460! Others have complained that it does not include the latest tech, is not fuel efficient, or fast like some competitors. This vehicle wasn't built for those things - it's built to provide solid reliability, comfort, a luxurious, cosseting ride, utility when needed, towing (if needed) and the peace of mind knowing that you can go to the furthest reaches of the world and get you back home in one piece! If you are looking for something that is supposedly modern looking, fuel efficient, modern looking with all the latest tech - look elsewhere. But if you're looking for a vehicle that will cradle you in comfort 20+ years from now, provide ample luxury features, and the utility to tow your toys without breaking down when you decide to venture off road, this is the one to buy! They have refined this model to the point that all issues from past models are non-existent, so it is quite reliable! 2 years of ownership and over 30k miles and it's been bullet proof in rain, snow, or anything else mother nature can throw your way! I also average 23-24 miles per gallon on the highway cruising at 75 with the AC on. I installed a chip that adds ~ 40-60 hp and 2-4 more mpg. Very happy with my purchase!

built for 6 passengers! WHY do auto manufacturers bill vehicles as “6 passenger” when there is absolutely no comfort level to the 3rd row seating. It is inaccessible to anyone larger than a toddler yet a toddler would need to be in a child car seat which there is no conceivable way to get a carseat into the 3rd row!! And there is zero cargo space with 3rd row seats up. Practically zero room for even a purse in the 2nd or 3rd row. Ridiculous! Thankfully my husband is comfortable riding in it by himself! And thankfully I have my comfortable Honda odyssey minivan!

The head lights designed is so low you can’t see Driving at night. It draws a line at the same level of the hood. I took it to the dealership to see if they could adjust them. Was told no. That they need to be at that level to not shine in on coming traffic. But I can’t see !! Not able read road signs. The bright lights are fine.

Less than impressed with Lexus, 12/25/2023

This is a terrible car to buy if you intend to drive more than two people. Literally only the driver and who ever is riding shot gun are comfortable. I’d be surprised if anyone over the age of 2 years old would be comfortable in the third row of seats, and no one over the age of 2 can easily move into the third row. The second row of seats is only tolerable, but don’t even try to have a drink that’s not in a sealed bottle. This has to be one of the most ill conceived SUVs ever designed.
