Love my 2014 GX 460. Most comfortable, quiet road-tripping machine, that also effortlessly takes my friends and I to any trailhead in Western WA, rain or snow. I found if I set cruise control to 65mph, I get around 23-24 MPG, so it's not too terribly inefficient. Consider the fuel economy on this tank the reliability tax. Also I dig your reviews!

Small diesels are at a major disadvantage here in North America. The EPA regulations on vehicles up to 8,500 lbs gvwr make it hard for them to compete with gas engines. Above 8,500 lbs diesels become more feasible. Unfortunately only 3 companies compete in this space, but each does have a very good diesel offering right around 400 cubic inches (6.6 to 6.7L). We paid $56k for a new 2021 Lexus GX two years ago. You can get a used one with 50k miles for around $30k. Increase to $35k and you can get one with 20,000 miles.

Ryan, There is one button missing on the dashboard, the one that turns the ostentatious Lexus grille into a sensible Prado grille suitable for deep gullies and steep climbs. Strangely, those humble overseas Toyota Prados (as seen in Australian KZbin reviews) now come with modern 'infotainment' while this high end, luxurious Lexus GX does not. Speaking of sensible alternatives, you can buy two SR5 4Runners from the same factory, for the price of this top spec GX. Finally, the scenery is impressive but I feel sorry 24:05 for that massive tree stump near the river.

Classic rather than outdated.. kind of how Ford is with the mustang.. for many years....many many years..into the 2000s.. they only made body changes for the most part...overall the mechanical side of it was mostly how it had been originally.. they believed.. if it wasn't broke or worked then why change it... It's what you get when you've done something sooo well.. and have such a solid platform.. I want a gx460.. or even a slightly used gx470.. except I'd probably throw some extra cash into it and get some extra after market offroad goodies put into it.. (2 to 3 inch lift.. better even more rugged yet versatile tires.. roof top tent or something.. front and rear bumpers made for offloading.. wench.. more lights..)

Great freaking video. I wish they had a v6 turbo version of this truck.

Too much emphasis is put on TECH now a days. Then we wonder why the reliability of certain brands that were previously TOP NOTCH has started to dwindle down. Those who buy this Lexus GX460 usually do so for refinement AND possible off road capability. If you want something that lasts you 20-25 years with amazing customer service, look no further. If you want tech that can cause you head ache, you have a plethora of options. Stop being so "picky".

Hahaha I was just there the other week with my 4runner!! Good times! The Lexus could do it with better tires and airing down some. My 4runner walked right up it. ❄️❄️❄️

Your 4Runner also has a much better approach angle. 😅

Maybe I didn’t notice, but why won’t you use central and rear differential lock to have power evenly distributed on all wheels to make climbing more effective?

Anyone know if the non-luxury off road package is still any good? This review was great but curious how the non top of the line is…

Please review the newest Lexus LC500. Looks like you did a review on the 2018, I’m not really sure what had changed between 2018-2021 interior wise. It is in a different price range and market/audience of course, but I think you will find its Lexus interior and infotainment much less disappointing than the GX460. Keep up the quality content. 👍

If he didn't mention he was in the pacific north west I still would have known it because he believed that his snow was special despite half of the country experiencing the same phenomenon.

Here is Israel we have the diesel Land Crusier Prado, it comes with a larger screen, and a standard apple CarPlay and Android auto. Strange

I love the country and people of Israel. If it wasn’t for the Jewish people I couldn’t have been a Gentile! Thank you!

Why is the transmission making that gnarly sound? Always wonder why my car only makes that sound in low gear

Maybe I missed it, but did you ever lock the center differential while you were attempting the snowy hill climb?
