We are on our third GX460 and the 2022/23 MY are hands down the best versions of itself. All of the modern tech and safety features one could ask for, solid build construction, reliable drivetrain, off-road chops with little mods needed to truly make it a force off-rod and an insane aftermarket that continues to grow. This will go down as the most reliable 4WD SUV in it's segment (the 4Runner is right there but the GX is better in nearly every way) for it's time and I am willing to bet that they will be sought after for many years to come and consequently hold their value on the secondary market quite well. All of that said, we will eventually own one of the new GX550's, most likely in the second or third year, gotta let them work out the bugs and let the hype and markups wear off.

[@Questtt3]

Another great review. Been strongly considering the GX for three years. Recent 2024 Lexus picture sneak peeks suggest a more rugged, more muscular-looking, off-road-performing vehicle. The general wisdom is to wait at least one year after a complete redesign...putting the wait to 2025. If you need a vehicle now, would you recommend getting a 2023 GX460 now and possibly trading it in for a 2025/2026 GX550 in the future, taking a chance now on a first-year 2024 GX redesign, or would you go with a different vehicle now and get a GX 550 at some later date (your Pathfinder review was excellent and very positive - while a very different vehicle, rented one recently for a family trip and was a great vehicle). Wondering how strong the future resale value of a 2023 GX460 will be if the 2024 GX550 redesign is extremely popular (and has better acceleration/torque/mpg).

[@firstlast8281]

Do not get the 2024 if it’s based on reliability alone. The next gen engine has already shown issues within the Tundra with rod bearing and turbo wastegate failures. Issues that require body off frame $30,000 (warranted) repairs. Look it up. Of course, the new GX will have “Lane Tracing Assist” aka basically fully autonomous highway driving, a single feature that alone might make it worth braving the risk of a new model year purchase. I was in the same boat and decided on a 2023 GX “Premium-Plus” package. I f’ng love it and am excited about driving it until any issues get sorted out with the next generation and I’m comfortable with the idea of buying one. Just my humble opinion.

The 2024 GX will not be available until January at the earliest, and then, in limited numbers! As with any re-design, the new 2024 GX will have issues not foreseen by the engineers and of course, user feedback will warrant changes too. The new GX will be fully flushed out in 2025 or so. The 2024 GX spec numbers just released provide the 2024 GX with a 16 mpg from a twin-turbo V^ with 10 speed transmission! That is not good at all. The new 2024 will also be $5 - $10K higher in price - inflation and supply chain don't you know! If new fancy electronic upgrades do not matter to you and your driving and comfort are the important things- buy the 2023 V* while you can still buy these old school V8 butter-smooth babies!

The current GX being a "luxury" SUV has grossly outdated interior technology, gaudy grill that makes modding difficult, and the low tuned V8 is so heavy that it is barely quicker than the V6 4Runner and the added V8 weight will lead to some steering component damage, during off road use. The GX sucks compared to everything it competes with. I drive a Range Rover that I update every 4 years, so do not care if the engine will last 500k miles. No luxury brand buyer keeps vehicles for more than 3 to 4 years lol. My supercharged 4Runner is much better and quicker. The next gen GX will be 110% better, having modern technology and even more power in the much lighter detuned version of the 3.4 V6 turbo used by the Land Cruiser 300 and new Tundra. It will be even more reliable than the current Land Cruiser 300 Series, because it is lighter. It will be the best GX ever and finally be the vehicle I swap my 4Runner for!

Newer technology is not always better especially when it comes to replacing buttons with screen taps. There is a place for both.

The 2013 RR Sport was definitely the best looking generation for the Sport! My mother had a 2013! I miss that exterior look and dislike the new RR Sport because it simply looks like they got lazy and took the front half of a Velar and rear half of a Discovery and stuck them together. It has lost that distinct aggressive RR Sport styling that made the Sport so special. Many RR Sport purists are a bit unhappy, but I guess we will see how it goes! I only dislike the current GX because of the old tech and the front grill/bumpers make it impossible to use off road, which is exactly what I buy Toyota/Lexus for, is to use off road. Reliable or not. However, yesterday I made my reservation for the 2024 GX 550. It is absolutely beautiful and has a proper body-on-frame.
