Great video. Current owner of a ‘23 for one year, 30k miles now. Absolutely love this pig, despite my 17 smiles per gallon. Will never sell this iconic, V8 luxury off-road tank. Last of a special kind.

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Massive congrats on getting the last model GX such an epic machine and worth the fuel penalty enjoy my friend!

[@jd2plus2]

Funny , yes my 2017 papa pig is still giving relaxing pleasure even in horrid traffic . It’s old school driving , parking is unbelievable manoeuvrable , highway too easy to be speeding without any idea of your speed , on a cloud . Use the manual 6 speed occasionally for acceleration, and I pull a small RV on occasion very stable . Best wife simply loves it .

[@aross924]

17? 😣

[@top-26e2]

I have the 2017 gx460 and I drove it 100k miles and it only had 2 issues

[@jcbc7587]

I agree sir. My wife and I got last year. Barely about to hit 10k. What a monster. We love it! Last ofnits kind.and of course made in Japan

[@jaycarl1562]

Here are the problems I experienced with my 2016 GX Basic. Timing chain cover leak, water pump, spark plugs at 100k. Did all the work myself. Saved money even though I replaced many other parts since it was apart.

[@emidiopuliti7152]

1 year of ownership for my 17 GX luxury, bought it with about 40k miles, now have about 53k miles, zero issues, such a pleasant car to drive, yea gas mileage sucks and the cost of premium gas doesnt help but it just comes with the territory. I upgraded the infotainment with apple carplay and I am absolutely in love even more!

[@UltimateAnarchy]

Premium gas isn't necessary, you're just wasting money. Thousands of owners use 86 or 87 octane for hundreds of thousands of miles without ever having a single issue. Me included.

[@johngilotti941]

Loving my 23 Blackline. It got 20.1 mpg on my last road trip. The dealer fixed the kdss lean issue. Best vehicle I ever drove.

[@bobbykentucky5599]

Great video! I snagged a 2018 with 60,000 miles for just over $30k cash last month, and absolutely love the truck so far. I feel you may have overstated the danger of the used market and the importance of warranties, as we should all keep emergency savings to maintain whatever cars we choose to own. You are right about the benefits of buying new or leasing, but my gosh you will pay for them!

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Massive congrats my friend that is an excellent prices for that model year! I pray it gives you long years without issues. Yes leasing new is nice but it is costly and does not work for everyone especially if one does not own a business. Please enjoy that very special vehicle

[@pb7133]

We could not afford the LX, so we got the GX. Friggen love it. It’s our family car and very roomy. Feels a lot bigger inside then the 4Runner and so much more quite. Roadtrips are a dream.

[@jcbc7587]

Got a 23 too. Love family trips. Excellent vehicle

[@levgev9613]

I LOVE this truck! I drove it every opportunity I get. I don’t even drive my Camry despite superior mpg. The GX is phenomenal.

[@leethomas556]

We have a 2023 460 and it was leaning and pulling to the right, it's the crown of the road. We went to a shop familiar with this and did an alignment and reprogram for $80. No issues going straight down the road now. The alignment comes "perfect" from the manufacturer and a lot of shops will go with that spec and not account for the road crown. It's not a big deal at all but if you're taking your rig to a shop that isn't up to speed, you'll chase your tail for sure.

[@Rafa_guitars]

I got a 2020 certified for $42k back in May. With taxes it was 46k. It had 47k miles at the time. I’m very happy with it. It’s basically new at the time a new one would have cost me about 62k for the aspect I wanted. The only difference I see I no car play which doesn’t really bother me. I could have probably gotten a better deal if I waited but it has only lost about 2k in value since I bought it and I have out 8k miles on it. So far no issues

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Massive congrats my friend, beautiful SUV and I pray that you continue to have an excellent ownership experience with your GX. Thanks so much for stopping by and sharing!

Bought 2023 for last of its kind (v8) and has better infotainment and hvac controls. Luxury and red seats!

[@paulbugoni2846]

Great review, no car is perfect but the GX460 is better than most in terms of reliability. I’m averaging 18 to 20 mpg; compare that to Savage geese getting 21 mpg in the new Lexus RX. As always, try and get the latest year possible within a model run.

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Yea GX has to be one of the most solid I have seen in the luxury segment similar to the RC F in the sports car segment. Def quality vehicles!

[@gomez7879]

I have 2019 gx and it averages 13 mpg on local roads. Only when you do a lot of freeway driving the average gets to 16mpg.

[@M5_Sonu]

My 2018 averages about 16mpg in the city (DFW, TX)

[@SuperSnakePlissken]

18 to 20 mpg is what I get on the highway with mine but in town it’s 14 MPG and 15 MPG thanks to the all-wheel-drive system. Do I care? No I don’t. I’m rich and I want value and reliability over MPG.

[@v1rotate391]

Have a 2014 GX that is rock solid and just had its 120k mile service done. No issues, survived floods and a hurricane.

[@davidmcclain8851]

I just picked up a 2023 GX listed as certified with only 10 miles on it for $55K. I don’t even have 100 miles on it yet but this is my 5th Lexus so I have high hopes.

[@itsbmd6225]

I recently picked up a 14’ GX460 used from a local Lexus dealer with 85k miles and a 2” lift already done. Went ahead and got a warranty just in case any of these issues come up however I’m hoping I don’t need to use it. Love it so far.

[@MeynMotorGroup]

That is awesome my friend massive congrats on your purchase. I pray you don't have to use it either but it certainly is nice to have that peace of mind. And if it's a pro rated warranty you can cancel anytime and get a portion of that warranty refunded back to you. Do you mind sharing with us how much you paid for the warranty?

[@notpastranapastrana2403]

how much was the price?

[@ceilahuge6730]

I’m find this very interesting cuz I used to own a 2016 for 4 years it’s a luxury model and it’s a great SUV until we got reared ended upset me so much. A few years ago we bought a replacement 2019 Certified still driving everyday great SUV never had any problems.

[@MeynMotorGroup]

I think it's important for everyone to understand (although I mentioned this throughout the video) that these issues don't have to happen to everyone but they CAN happen. There's plenty of people who had no issues and this goes for any car make. My master tech has two benzes with 300k miles with no issues with either one. But it's important to note that used cars really are just rolling the dice and I want to protect consumers that don't have a lot of money.

[@Gmonayy189]

That’s true, it is good to note this and highlight issues on any used car. It’s true Scotty and others make blanket statements but i do find it funny that all of the comments on your video are people with no issues. There always are issues on every vehicle. I like that you at least provide the perspective of leasing as most financial advisors or anyone like Scotty or older people would never. Even if it is leasing through your friend, but still. Better to hear the other side too!

Currently own a 2012 GX 460 with 183k. Recently replaced all 4 stocks with OEMs, and it drives like new. Yes it's definitely bumpier than your unibody design suv, but my gosh is it fun to drive.

[@sly9263]

GX handles a lot better than the LX and has far less body roll (KDSS)

[@Jay-me7gw]

This is wildly incorrect. The LX's AHC compensates for softer sway bars and actively counters body roll. I owned a GX460 for 4 years and now an LX570. Virtually everything about the LX is superior, including the body roll. You put the LX in Sport+ mode and it stays almost totally flat. And, also, KDSS sucks offroad if you are in 4hi and moving quickly because it doesn't unlock. If you are traveling on a faster forest service road or dirt road, the KDSS causes the GX to ride very stiff. This is not true of the LX with AHC. Hell, even my F150 rode better on fast dirt roads. Ill take AHC all day long over KDSS.

[@sly9263]

​@@Jay-me7gw the only thing that's wild around here is your misinformation and emotional bias. The LX570 handles like shit compared to the GX- it has far more body roll and doesn't stay flat on curves. Now you're talking about an F150 on leaf springs riding better than a GX- you've established you have no idea what you're talking about. You bought a new vehicle and you've come here to spout off absolutely nonsense bias- you need a hobby, because this is just pathetic.

[@pall5114]

Great informative video. I have a new 23 460 GX, bought it for its history of reliability but you educated me on some potential major issues. Are the Timing chain cover leaks, valley coolant plate leaks, and transmission issues more for earlier years and did Lexus resolve them for later years? I asked my Lexus dealer during my service what it cost for these items, and he said $3-4K. Can anyone share what they paid for the timing chain leak and valley coolant plate leaks? Also, I read the transmission solenoid codes basically means you need to replace the whole transmission, costing around 7-8K. I am hopefully a long way from any major repairs but it is good to know in advance and worth an extended warranty. Thanks

[@finnellwilliam]

I have a 2023 premium plus sport love it great car I’ve had five forerunners beforehand. This is my first GX. I will buy another one of this body style. I know about the coolant Gully problem or reservoir problem or whatever it is but everything else I kind of expected at some point, but They were great car.

[@erics3527]

The gx is one of the best vehicles lexus/toyota has made. Are there some issues with them of course but the overall quality is superior to many other makes. The Lexus lean is an easy fix with a shorter spring on the driver side. Regular maintenance mitigates many of the issues reported.

You make it sound like it falls apart at 200K miles. I do all the work myself and use premium fuel at all times. Please don't lump us all into the same barrel. In comparison to other luxury SUV's it is much more reliable than any Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Range Rover and others.

Water intrusion, especially into the passenger side where the ECU is mounted. Toyotas are prone to leak the AC drain and the sunroof drain into the passenger foot well, to be sure, but those are easy to detect and fix. But there's more going on than these little problems. My son's GX460 has had the corroded ECU and associated wiring replaced and the car still needs to be towed after visiting a car wash. I have a 4Runner and I'm off to Home Depot today to buy some Damp Rid to help with the musty situation.

Please let me know your opinion. I bought a used silver 2017 Lexus GX (Luxury trim) with 36K miles. Car came with Front Runner roof rack and brand new BFG ko2 tires and sports bra on the front end. No rust, no dings or scratches. I have had it since June '23. How much should I have paid?

[@MeynMotorGroup]

😅 Well my friend I understand you want to confirm you did not over pay and I understand but it's rather easy to see what the market value is by going to cargurus and searching for yourself. I just did a nationwide search for a 2016-2018 GX with under 40k miles and omitted the accident vehicles, only 15 vehicles fit that parameter. Price ranges between $36k to $40k as long as you didn't pay more than that you're fine and perhaps + $2k for accessories Even if you overpaid it doesn't matter because they're getting rid of the dollar soon so if you like what you bought, just enjoy and relax.

Great review do you still have the lc500

Thank you my friend and no banks told me to sell it when I bought my house last year

[@CoralGablesFL]

What a useful review! Thanks so much!

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Glad it was helpful!

[@RossEnzo]

Buying new makes a lot of sense with these GXs.

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Yea my friend some really good discounts available right now and leasing incentive jumped up from 2k to 3500 which helps. Can save 20k with CPO but new is so much nicer 😅

I use premium fuel and I suspect many GX operators do also.

The two big ticket items are valley plate labor to replace a $100 gasket . A transmission if not serviced replacement from 80k to 120k. Secondary items .. Throw in timing chain gasket and radiator neck plastic leaking . Water pump . Suspension issue .

[@SuperSnakePlissken]

The biggest problem with buying these vehicles used is you never know if they use premium fuel for the life of the vehicle. You can run regular octane for a while but eventually you can ruin the engine if you don’t use premium it’s called for. The only way you can avoid this find a rich person selling the vehicle because only then probably be sure to put premium in it it’s entire life.

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Exactly

[@CP-pb3pj]

I don’t think you can damage the engine using 87 regular fuel. The computer compensates for the lower octane. The only drawback is a slight loss of power and slightly lower gas mileage. My opinion. But yes, if it were mine I would use premium.

[@SuperSnakePlissken]

@@CP-pb3pj Not true. Long term damage will occur. The computer does adjust but the eventual ping will damage the pistons.

[@DocMagoos]

@@SuperSnakePlisskenwhat eventual ping? The whole point of the computer adjusting is that it won’t cause this

Hi, if i want to buy cash + new what kind of discounts can i ask for? In texas. Thank you!!

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Paying cash would be the worst move on this as you would miss out on $3,500 in incentives. Best deal to negotiate is what AC is advertising. 12% off MSRP + $3500 lease incentive. Do a one pay lease for 27 months and buy the car after 27 months in cash this way you’ve taken advantage of all the credits and one pay lease means you’ve paid practically no interest. Use the free leasing calculator that I have in the description box

[@johnandstephanie377]

What is the one pay lease? Thanks

[@MeynMotorGroup]

@@johnandstephanie377 one pay lease is when you make all of your lease payments up front. The only reason you would want to do this is to reduce the interest rate on the lease so you’re wasting less money and building more equity. With some manufacturers or cars, even if you do a one pay lease it might not reduce the interest rate that much so it def doesn’t make sense in every situation. I wish ACs calculator would show updated interest rate for one pays. You can find out more on the leasehackr forum

[@johnandstephanie377]

@@MeynMotorGroup thanks. Looking here in the Houston area to find a deal on a new gx460. I’ll use the calculator for a good starting point.

[@Gmonayy189]

@@johnandstephanie377definitely look into the full calculations as while you might have discounts by leasing, they might be offset by any interest, which would defeat any purpose. Also cars have the least problems when brand new (when leased). Lot’s of dealerships/banks in Texas have great financing options to offset the lower demand for cars in the past several months, sometimes very low interest rates. But honestly if you could just pay cash today I’ve noticed you can offer what you think it’s worth and walk away confidently knowing you’re only paying one party at one time. No complex math, just understand how much you can afford and you can get more than $3K off if you just pay what you want and get someone who’s willing.

If you buy a Lexus for 12k$ and even you spend 10k$ on fixing all the issues it's still worth buying.

[@MeynMotorGroup]

That’s ridiculous my friend

@MeynMotorGroup how come ? You never find luxury vehicles for 22k$ that is gonna last that long. You can fix all issues and drive another 200k miles.

[@heirtothethrone000]

It's sad that these vehicles have so many issues like this, the LS 460s and other vehicles like the Range Rovers. These are reasons I chose not to buy these vehicles.

Seriously, are there any vehicles that have zero mechanical problems? If someone isn't willing or able to tolerate an occasional repair, they should look into alternatives to car ownership. I don't understand the doom and gloom.

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Just get a warranty that's really all there is to it. Or learn how to lease and dump properly.

The main problem with the GX is the horrible powertrain tuning 🤣 My goodness its was a terrible vehicle to drive.
