[@seikocitizenwatches]

The GX can easily drive past 500k miles with proper basic maintenance. It never looks aged. Besides good looking, luxury and durability, the GX is a real SUV that leave others stranded when the roads become off road.

[@conduit242]

Everyone wanted the GXOR concept. Instead, we got a bigger grill.

[@scoop3894]

I love the GX and it's big brother the LX 570. My dream vehicle actually. Love it in Atomic Silver too.

[@TheJermy2000]

jonathan aminiel that’s what he said

[@walter777smith6]

Why don't you buy it? O wait you can't afford it

[@rightlanehog3151]

This is the rich man's Land Cruiser Prado but I want the poor man's Prado with 2 doors, cloth seats, a manual and a humble 2.7 engine.

[@CP-kb1du]

Rather have the TRD PRO 4RUNNER better looking and more Rugged

[@conquest562]

@@CP-kb1du equipped with an asthmatic V6 though. GX has the smoothest V8 power delivery I have ever experienced as of yet.

[@joeschoeneck1512]

As someone who puts a canoe on top of my suv, the barn style tailgate is actually better than the typical lift gate. With a boat on top you can still access gear in the rear of the vehicle. Not for everyone but it does have its place!

[@JeepYotaAdventure]

For off-road / overlanding, buy a 2003-2009 GX470 with the 4.7L < $17k. Pocket the other $70k. Not joking.

[@bekabeka71]

For sure with 70k you could buy a gl or x6

[@penvon]

[@ALMX5DP]

Will Thomas Jr who buys a brand new Lexus for offroading?

[@dylanfgarrison]

I got my 2008 with only 120K on the clock for $12,000!

[@conquest562]

But be sure to save a few bucks to replace the timing belt that is likely needed by now. Most of the ones I researched had well over 100k miles. We went with a 16' GX460 with 30k miles. I trust timing chains more than belts as long as the chain guides and tensioners aren't made of chinessium like my triton 5.4.

[@h3runs]

wait this is a 2020 model? Nice walk through, but aside from the "please notice me" front grill, this looks at least 10 years old. Buy an older one and save a bunch money. At least the 2005 graphics would feel more reasonable in that.

[@moisescastillo217]

Also the features are pretty old, but again a Lexus last for a lot of time.

[@dnlcast2]

With that huge grill, I guess it will never over heat 🤣

Great job on video review - you get right what many reviewers get wrong. Thanks.

[@jmoranretana]

I love the grill. I would love them to add a proper off-road package with better tires, trims, more ground clearance, more approach/departure angles (stylish metal bympers), skid plates, etc.

[@mrsshelton226]

Watching this I really feel like crying. This is literally my dream car!😍😍😍 Those red seats are killing me, I want this bad! It would be 🔥🔥🔥🔥 if it was black with red interior! I'm in the market for a used GX460 which is how I came across this video. I'm excited to finally buy my dream car but this 2020 is beyond a dream! Maybe one day!❤

[@goldenboyi1989]

i have this car and u make me smile

[@robertom883]

Car reviewers need to give a definition of what Off road means in relation to the SUV/ truck being reviewed. Yes every vehicle these days seem to come with some kind of sophisticated tracción technology which most people hardly ever use. If by definition “off road” means Off the pavement then even my Corolla can do that. For any vehicle to do serious off road this will be the bread and butter: All terrain tires (or tires that are suited for the terrain to be driven on) Two speed transfer case Excellent ground clearance (key point)

[@lunamaria1048]

That grill is like a concert that BLASTS on a low quality stadium sound system.. It's just wayy too noisy, but bad noise lol

[@TheZchauvin]

As soon as I sell this 2017 F250 Powerstroke I’ll be buying one of these babies!

[@cwyoming7004]

The amazing off-road tech on a vehicle that otherwise isn't designed to go far off-road is mind blowing. At least put 4 wheel air suspension and an option for real off-road tires would be a great start. Thanks for the great video.

[@commiato]

The gate swings based on the right hand drive Prado.

[@marcopazorell7770]

We saw the 2020 Gx offroad I was quite impressed, the guy that was driving told me he owns a land cruiser prado and this is the American version of it.

[@billseiler4952]

Nice video and nice suv.....I will need to wait once I hit the powerball

[@nelsonsantiago2514]

Scratch the third-row seat, add the hatch of the 4runner and taillights and update the infotainment with Apple car play and Android and I am in. Love the grill, love the V8 4.6 engine. I agree this is a dream vehicle and wait a few years and it becomes affordable.

[@jorjashot1241]

Great job!!!

[@chuckkerber4735]

I love my RX because the back hatch opens automatically with the fob- this pull-out function is antiquated, and takes up tons of room. The front infotainment system/screen is grossly outdated and should have been replaced with the update. This is still one of the best cars on the road- the V-8 is maintenance free, and owners can easily get 300k out of it if maintained properly. Nice job on the video.

[@erggy88]

Looks and drives awesome! Very reliable.

[@jamesc.5734]

Grill, E GAD. But I doubt if it would ever over heat in bumper to bumper traffic.

[@psmelia2452]

That rear door would drive me crazy, even with the roll down window.

[@freddyo2k10]

That gate should go up because it interferes with any tow hitch, towing device, bike racks trailers etc..you attach..it definitely should lift upward..also, the tailgate upwards serves as a small roof if it starts raining while your on the road or camping etc.. 👍👍

[@UncleRufus518]

I want to see it go down the power line

[@SWISSITUP]

Does it have Center Lock?

[@franciscoperez6356]

Love it 👍🏼

[@Yeoj444]

Love my '16 GX but damn do I want the headlights and seats

[@boostedmaniac]

The best lift gate door I’ve seen is on the Dodge Magnum because it hinges high and inward towards the front of the vehicle so the door doesn’t require much space swinging outward when going up. Think of how a sedan’s trunk opens. Not sure why more haven’t copied this design.

[@hernanaguilarjr7954]

I don't know if it's just me but are those the same tailights from the pre-pre facelift GX??? (2010-2013)

[@pryme2013]

That gate sucks real world. When in a busy grocery store parking lot(where this vehicle will spend most of its time) and the car behind you is 10" from your bumper you cant load your golden grahams, sunny D, ketchup and pepper.

[@conquest562]

You don't park next to the riff raff when you own one of these. Walking a few more steps to and from are worth it plus it helps to stay in shape. I enjoy the gate because it gets nearly entirely out of the way when loading, plus the door can still stay open, even when the strut goes out. Can't say that about vertical swing up rear hatches.

[@thegutwar7469]

A lot of people seem confused on toyota and Lexus grills, they designed them after samurai masks. Pretty cool.

[@Anomize23]

It’s just best used as a snow plow with that grill😂

[@arislopes1924]

The rear gate is a love or hate left over from the prado, but surprisingly there’s 2 different prado models one that’s like the gx and another one that has the spare on the back like a Jeep, it makes it look like a 2nd gen RAV4 in my opinion. is all because when the prado was released all models had it. The prado was based mostly for the JDM market so all jdm suvs have the spare on the back even the Hilux surf had it aka 4runner, so there for all prado models have always had the swing out gate, it was something that got carried over from the original model, the GX is a true jdm suv that has no businesses being in America what so ever that’s why Toyota made the 4runner for, but yet again Toyota just grabbed it and slapped a Lexus badge on it when the car was design for a completely different market.

[@scarroll625]

That grille is RIDICULOUS

[@dlessard2369]

The front bumper might cost 5k or more to replace. Also it is very low to the ground for off roading

[@dlessard2369]

@@ALMX5DP That's true but they will tear up the lower bumper hitting the 10" stops in front of parking space's everywhere. Great for body shops.

[@ALMX5DP]

@@dlessard2369 not sure about where you live, but on the west coast there really isnt anything that tall in a parking lot. Most curbs and stops are 6-7" so most likely fine.

[@dlessard2369]

@@ALMX5DP I've seen the lower stops that you have they won't work in snow country because plows can't see these as well. Even at 6" high is close for that bumper to rub or hit. I'am just saying that it will cost major $'s in repairs because it is so big of a front bumper. Ins co cost will be high to insure. But who cares when spending 98k on this SUV.

[@rik999]

It's surprising that Toyota did not spend the money to provide a left-hinged rear door model for the LHD market. Obviously they do have RHD and LHD models as far as the driver controls, seating position, and instrument panel since I assume they sell this vehicle at home (Japan-RHD) and in various markets around the world.

[@boostedmaniac]

The only advantage I can possibly see for swing out gate is opening it just a crack to get access if you park in a garage with the door shut. Generally manufacturers use this door for for doors that hold a spare tire, but this doesn’t have one on the door. The 4Runner uses a regular lift up door, but this used a swing out door. I’m still not even sure what are the advantages or why somebody would want this.

[@vadim9342]

I like the 2010-2013 GX better. Not only that, but those model years had a way better approach angle.

[@moisescastillo217]

I like how looks the seats, the reliability and longevity of the Lexus, but lack a lot of technology for that level of price, probably most of the Lexus are made for a market that doesn't require a lot of tech like other brands with similar prices

[@flyingburrito6579]

Oh yeah but the next gen could remove the rear too, many guys that offroad look for that

[@sergiupuscasu2496]

The headlights are nice, but the grille actually ruins the approach angle and front ground clearance. The rear bumper and side sills are also too low. Here in Europe and the rest of the world there is this car’s mechanical brother, the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado. Which has a smaller engine, less power, and FAR more approach and departure angles, as well as better side clearance. You win some and you lose some.

[@planbenterprise]

I owned one of these for about a year. That rear swing out door became such a pain in the ass I got rid of it. Seriously. Loading and unloading at the curb of an airport just sucks. You can’t use it in a normal garage, or even a large garage, it takes up so much space. But that engine. Man, that engine. And the vehicle is the perfect size. If it had a two piece rear with tailgate I’d still have that rig.

[@shannonjude1]

That rear hatch really isn't that special for explorer and Chevy blazer did that 20 years ago

[@woolengrappler]

I really hope Lexus trims up the front/rear bumpers and offers easily removable running boards on the next generation. That low front end is ridiculously low for a vehicle being marketed to the adventure/ off-road/ overland crowd. The 2020 Forester has better approach/break over/ departure angles than the GX does and the Forester is a lightweight unibody with AWD, not a body on frame truck with full time 4WD and a high/ low transfer case like this GX. The GX can almost go anywhere, but the damn bodywork is way too low for anything apart from a typical forest road.

[@nothingtoseaheardammit]

Don't really care about the grille. This thing isn't meant to tackle rock crawling trails. Also, as a tall dude, I much prefer side swing tailgates as I don't hit my head on them like I do on top-swinging hatch doors.

[@sergiupuscasu2496]

Don Megahan I agree on your grille opinion, but the swing tailgate also has the upper window that opens by itself if you’re in a tight space (be thankful you guys don’t have a rear-mounted spare tire to block that window). If you want to load something bigger in the trunk, and you’re in a tight space, then GOOD LUCK PAL.
