2013 Lexus GX460: Why Would Anyone Buy A Dinosaur?

In this video I go over the history of the GX460, where it started from, and what it is today. This is my personal SUV and really got it because the previous family car died and it was time to shop around for something that can fit the family, and no, I wasn't going to buy a minivan.

I just did the timing belt / water pump in my 05 Gx470, it was 90k overdue!!! It has 281k I’d definitely buy another! Our had 140k when we bought it. All we’ve done is change oil!

Nice. Those GX470s are built like tanks. I was looking at them myself but wanted something a little lower mileage than the 250-300k the ones being sold had. Any lower miles and for a little extra money I was in GX460 territory which made the decision pretty straightforward

I’m one of those guys too! Bought a 2010 to take on adventures with the kids. It does everything. Love it.

Glad to see I'm not alone

My wife had a 2010 RX but got in an accident so we replaced it with a 2020 RX and she really likes it. I liked that older 2010 RX and said let's get another like that for a relatively low cost. But we live in the mountains of Colorado and could use a rugged vehicle so she thought we should get a GX instead of an older RX. But most of them were very high mileage, typically over 150k miles. Two months ago we found a silver 2013 GX in very good condition with only 21k miles so we got it. While it drives like a truck due to having a frame chassis, it appears it can handle any bad driving condition. We got a 4 foot snow 6 weeks ago and the GX didn't care.

That's a really low mileage example. I think one of the lowest I saw for sale was in the mid-50s but it wasnt anywherd near me. Driving like a truck doesn't bother me, especially since I'm used to driving my 80 series. I also don't think it's a valid complaint. How else is it supposed to drive? Its body on frame with decent ground clearance and a live rear axle. Of course it "drives like a truck" because it is one, haha.

@@Dan_And_Daves_Garage The RX drives like a car and is more sporty. We had an 1994 80 series and gave it to my stepson for his wife to use as a daily driver. While slower, I found the 80 series more fun to drive than the more cushy ride of the GX.

21K miles, wow! Practically brand new. Hope y’all got a good deal on it.

You should fix that small rock chip at rear swing gate otherwise that would rust out quickly

If you are referring to the spot over the GX460 badge in the intro that is a piece of vegetation that fell from a tree
