2023 Lexus GX460 Ownership Update - Road Trip Regret? (POV Binaural Audio)

Smart move to buy the older GX. The new v35a engines are having major issues. Recalls from LX, Tundra, Sequioa. And it’s not just “debris”, they have main bearing issues etc

[@megharper5077]

I bought a 23 precisely because of the NA V8 reliability and old-school solid build. I live in CT and I regularly get over 20 MPG. No highway driving, mostly rural. I bought two of the last V8 Tundras for my work for the same reason. I don't have to worry about my employees breaking down.

[@martinsv9183]

Never understood the why everyone is blocking the left lane for no reason in the US... Where are you supposed to pass then? On the inside? That creates a far more dangerous driving environment.

[@jackk21]

You are correct, there are laws that say slower traffic needs to stay to the right. However a very small portion of drivers actually follow this and police do not enforce it for some reason. So we are left with a shit show on highways where the whole road is clogged with people going the same speed. Extremely frustrating but 95% have no idea and are completely oblivious to the half mile of cars behind them.

[@ARentz07]

Short answer? Cause they can. Should they? No, but no one is punishing them for doing it.

[@LambReigns]

Man, that assessment about relaxed driving versus aggressive driving is so spot on. Whenever I’m driving on the faster side, I tend to find myself in situations where someone’s in my way, or they’re not driving fast enough or I’m blocked in behind drivers going the same speed. And I’m more irritated about how people tend to drive. But on the other hand when I’m with my family and I’m in no rush, I find myself not getting into those same situations and I see other people flying down the highway, seemingly road raging with other drivers or cutting across lanes to pass people. It’s a major difference when you’re not in the rat race 😅

103xxx miles on the family's 17 GX. Bought in November of 2016 and it has had 0 issues apart from mold coming through the gutter lines when it was parked for a month.

[@ShadowBend]

The fuel economy of the 460 is pretty great when its driven properly. Like you mentioned, coasting to slow down, looking ahead, keeping speed in check. Over 20 highway is never an issue for me. I thought I had an alignment issue as well, but had it aligned and still usually need to add some steering input. Good too see I'm not alone there. I do have some additional vibration in the steering but next thing is probably a tire balance.

[@porschephilosopher4543]

Yeah, I had mine aligned 3 times within the first 1500 miles of ownership (23' GX Luxury bought in January of 24 new). The alignment is a lot better now after we had the dealership double check it and have the senior mechanic drive the car. But it's still not perfect and I've come to the conclusion that some amount of steering correction is just necessary.

[@asplmn]

Ted, smart move! Went to the Lexus dealer a couple of months ago. Test drove a GX 550 and was a little disappointed. When we hopped in a CPO LX 570, my wife’s face lit up. We walked out with an LX instead of the new GX.

[@amgerd]

You bought a much better car!

[@kev24k]

btw, put a small 2x8 in your trunk so if you do need to change your tire, you'll be able to. stock jack allows almost zero clearance.

[@Real_Natural]

Tedward I’m in sync with your experience. Also mine seemed to pull to the right more than I thought it should. After I got some miles on the tires and properly inflated them it was neutral, still sensitive to the curvature of the road surface as you say. I feel like my GX is happy at 75 and is relaxing to drive at that speed. It just doesn’t seem like a vehicle built to drive faster than 80. And I get 20 mpg. I believe the KDSS lean affects models with the air suspension. Which I don’t have. Or you either I believe. Coils all the way baby!

[@kurtbeck5809]

Agree with you about oil changes. Changed my 23 460 at 1800 and then 3000. Next May it will get changed again with whatever miles it has...Likely 4000.

[@brm98]

The cost of fuel is categorized as a "reliability tax". I am a real estate agent and daily my GX at +/-16mpg. I have only had to do routine maintenance and I'm almost at 100K on the odometer. This is a forever car!

[@Racontact]

not sure it applies to later models

[@anthonyantoine9232]

4:38 This is the key reason why I'm seriously considering a GX. At the moment, I daily drive an ATS-V in the rural midwest. My commute is absolutely full of giant potholes, construction zones with giant bumps, etc. My poor magnetic ride struts are destroyed from it, and I'm tired of getting beat up in an otherwise comfortable car. I just want something that's stupid smooth. I'm old enough now, also, that the 500whp the ATS-V puts down with a tune is just ridiculous anywhere but a track, and I'm rarely driving it on a track. I have been considering something like an accord or a Jetta GLI, but the roads here are so terrible I'm not sure it'll be hugely better. Now the debate is whether I want a GX470 or GX460.

[@elonsus9747]

Agreed. Go for the GX460. The 470 has a timing belt. And they’re getting old by now. You won’t regret it. Love my 460.

[@anthonyantoine9232]

@@elonsus9747 I very nearly bought a 470 a couple years ago, but changed plans after the frame of my truck finally let go from many years of salty winter roads. I have leaned toward a 460 for daily driving comfort.

[@sokratzmmf]

I had the same experience regarding the Lexus oil changes, they do push back a little about the 5K intervals. 😅

[@ARentz07]

So interesting hearing the same startup chime I hear almost every day in one of your videos lol. The new GX is pretty darned cool, but I gotta say, I'd have a hard time getting it over this one. The V-8, the no-nonsense interior, the freakin' analog gauges - it's just what I want. 🥰

[@ARentz07]

The whole oil change thing is so true. On my IS 500, I also have a 5,000 mile interval. The 2UR-GSE engine is weird though, and the dealership is most likely going to use a synthetic blend oil. So, I bring my own synthetic 5W-30 oil because I want to be able to drive it like I want and not worry about the oil life. I'm still doing 5,000-mile changes, though! But yeah, I had the same thing happen when I did my first oil change early to get the break-in crap out of there. "Well, technically you don't need to do this until 5,000 miles..." And on the wife's BMW, same thing. I'm sorry, I just don't buy it. 10,000 miles on the same oil with a boosted engine, driven by my lead-foot wife? No thank you. I will do 5,000.

[@megharper5077]

Oil changes early and often are how I got decades out of two Sequoias. I still have my 2002 Tundra.

[@paulbugoni2846]

Couldn’t agree more with this review. Don’t like the GX550’s interior-looks more Toyota than Lexus. The 460 eats miles in quiet comfort, and is old school in so many ways. Newer isn’t always better!

[@TheAndersonOBrien]

I absolutely adore my GX460. I’ll NEVER have kids but I love having all of these seats for having friends in the car for road trips. I can always seat 5 of my friends comfortably in here with no loss of power driving in high altitude areas and ski/beach stuff. @Tedward these are also great for driving on the beach in Ptown

[@IKhanNot]

Yeah they say the same thing for my car (16,000 kms or once a year) but I do it every 6 months which works out to about 7,000kms. Good peace of mind and a great selling point later on down the line. Even if I'm wasting money doing it every 6 months I'd rather waste some money than waste an engine.

[@beerhunt9013]

I agree with your analogy mostly....I've been changing the oil in my '97 Toyota T100 5VZ-FE V6 cyl ONCE A YEAR f or 22 years without a problem and not even uses any oil in 5,000 miles....now with 198,000 miles!

17.5 mpg long term. 21.5 on long drives. Also - I changed oil at 1500 and at 5K and 10k. Now every 5K and they use Lexus Oil (surprised). Like you I’m figuring an easy 400k

[@ericmeils8334]

I have driven a lot of GX460's and they all pull in one direction or the other. So, me being the person I am I've done lots of research on this. The tracking issue you're experiencing has to do with suspension geometry, primarily kingpin offset or what they call "scrub radius" which is the distance from the steering axis to the center of the tire. To reduce the kingpin offset the lower control arms in the new GX550 are quite a bit longer than the GX460's. This makes the new GX track more on center than the old GX, it also reduces kickback in the steering. The longer lower control arms also create a more stable "on center feel" and increases the strength of the "return to center" characteristic while eliminating the pulling to one side or the other with the crown of the road. The reason I went so deep into this is because I have a 200 series Land Cruiser and my dad has a GX460 that I drove 3000 miles about a year ago. My Land Cruiser consistently stays dead center no matter what lane I'm in, eventually it drifts a little but all cars do. The GX felt like if I was in the left lane it was constantly pulling to the left, if I was in the right lane it was constantly pulling to the right which made my 3000 miles tiring. The road had to be completely flat for it to track straight. I actually stopped to get the alignment inspected because I thought something was wrong, but they just confirmed everything was in specification. During my research this also led me to discover my Land Cruiser has longer lower control arms and the Tundra has even longer ones. Land Cruiser drivers have actually swapped control arms in favor of the Tundra control arms to give more suspension travel if they have lifted their Land Cruiser.

[@michaelllewellyn4441]

Does this GX460 pulling issue also affect the 5th (current) gen 4Runner? Also, is there a fix or something you can do to reduce or eliminate the pulling issue on the GX. Thanks!

[@ericmeils8334]

@@michaelllewellyn4441 I'm really not sure about the 4Runner. The fix would be changing the lower control arms and supporting hardware to adjust the kingpin offset. I'm sure there is something on the GX 4Runner forums about this. Hope that helps, and good luck!

[@dannykelly3617]

As far as fuel economy goes with trucks a lot of people are stuck in 2005, thinking they all get 10pmg. My 10 year old Denali with a 6.2 V8 will get 18 in the city and easily over 20 on the highway. On a 2 lane 55-65mph backroad I can get 24-26. I don't understand these new super complex V6 powertrains that get marginally better fuel economy. High risk for low reward.

I own a 2019 GX460. Two things people don't talk about enough are the KDSS (which you did briefly touch on) causing constant adjusting of the steering wheel on the highway to keep it going straight and the seat comfort (they are made for short Japanese people). I get horrible back pain after 2-3 hours (5'10" tall). The lumbar isn't in the right spot/seat shape. I bet your shoulders are higher/above the seat back cushion. Nice vehicle otherwise though.

I noticed that pull to the left with my 23 wrx and figured it was the road too along with the fast rack. I drove it for about 9 months that way and finally got a bug up my ass to get it checked. Subaru did an alignment at no charge to me and did see that it was out. But that first alignment didn't do anything. Regardless of how the road was banked slightly I was always pulling to the right. 2 months later (this last may) I had them check it again (again no charge to me) and they seem to have fixed the issue (measurements showed pretty much the same misalignment). But I do notice now when I did a drive to Taos from Tucson that the pull was now lane dependent like what you experienced. Dose the GX have a fast rack? Are gone the days when you can expect your wheel to be centered on a straight road?

[@beerhunt9013]

many vehicles if not most will pull to the right ( in the USA) ESPECIALLY if your in the right hand lane for two reasons; 1) the slope from the center to the right side is from gravity and 2) a safety factor from the manufacturer while in a two lane road for avoiding drifting into oncoming traffic in the other lane.

Driving me insane. dealer says it's nothing and did a road force balance that didn't help.

Do you hear beeping a sound when you’re taking off around 2-5mph?

[@TedwardDrives]

Nope

Smiles per gallon!

[@beerhunt9013]

the perception of fuel economy is often defined by miles per gallon/liter...it is actually the COST PER MILE driven!

[@SueUTube]

Do you have to use premium or can you get away with regular? Thanks

[@beerhunt9013]

many GX 460 owners have/are using 87 octane...it is your call.

[@dimitarginchev5942]

The most first world video haha. Still interesting :D

[@TedwardDrives]

Hope you’re joking. KZbin is full of supercar owners and I’m driving a Lexus.

[@steel3879]

Do you thnk regardless of mileage on the oil you should do it once a year or does age matter for synthetic?

[@chriscoulson5365]

It’s a good idea to change the oil at least once a year regardless of mileage or the type.

[@TedwardDrives]

If we’re being honest You could probably leave it for a couple years and be fine. But once a year is a good way to keep track if you don’t drive enough

[@beerhunt9013]

I agree with BOTH chriscoulson5365 and TedwardDrives!

[@josephgillum5396]

8:24, I don’t follow. My GX happily cruises at 90.

[@beerhunt9013]

everyone has opinions/ideas and mothers...it is up to you how you want to drive!
