The Reliable Bargain You Need! (Used Lexus GX 460)

[@BigdogLarry]

I’m sticking with my 23’ GX460. Bought it brand new and have it a little over a year. Definitely loving it and I’m planning on keeping it long term. Luxury at it’s finest 😉

[@2A3A66]

Last year we in late May/early June had been looking for a used GX. We probably looked at 15 different ones across four SoCal counties. They were all disappointments predominantly for interior issues and some exterior body issues. The previous owners just didn't take care of them, and some were borderline abused. The last one we looked at smelled like a wet dog, permanent marker stains on the back seat and it had a RIPPED passenger seat belt. To top it off it was being sold as "Certified Pre-Owned"! And the asking prices were just way too high for the conditions we encountered. We ended up just asking to see new 2023 inventory. The dealer was sold out but had orders being built in Japan. We found a Premium equipped the way we wanted it and put down a deposit. Five weeks later it arrived. It is just a fantastic car, and my Wife loves it (it's her daily driver). It was also part of the last production run of the '23's with the venerable 4.6L V8. I think we'll keep it around for a long while. I am hoping the V8 GX's will become a novelty somewhere down the road and maintain their value.

Bought a 2020 GX 460 about 6 mos ago, no turbo, no cvt, nothing weird, just good V8 power. It is a beast. Lexus has been making that engine for years and that's what sold me. Its a great truck!

[@isdaGang]

Just bought a '20 GX as well 2 months ago. Everything about it is solid plain and simple. Congrats

[@MrTeslaX]

The V8 in GX isn't a beast; super reliable but lacks a good 50-70 hp and torque.

[@PrecisionAcc]

agree with everything, except it's a SUV not a truck

[@JoeJacksonGT3]

@@PrecisionAcc Yeah, it is a truck. You just don't know what the definition is

[@arielflores1963]

I just did the same. Found it in great condition and with 47k miles, is that high mileage in your opinion?

[@TheAndersonOBrien]

I’m 20 years old and I bought a barely used, pre owned 2020 GX from an older woman back in early 2023 that had 3k mile oil changes from Lexus for the 9k miles she owned it. I’m now at 21k miles after doing a 3k mi cross country road trip, with 3 large people inside, and a lot of payload in the back and the truck did not care at all. I absolutely love this truck, black over rioja red interior, and actively am maintaining it using Car Care Nuts recommendations. I’ll obviously buy other “fun” cars like sports cars and such along the way, but will absolutely keep my GX until it dies. The other great thing is that I always get 20mpg, so the MPG all considering on a road trip isn’t even “that”bad.

[@broodp4]

Bro you do not get 20mpg on a gx460 especially with 3 people and the trunk loaded. No need to exaggerate your mpg

[@Littleathquakes]

@@broodp4highway driving in my ‘16 GX460 I get 20mpg. just keep it under 75mph

[@jdesmo1]

@@broodp4 Yes he does. I easily get 22+ MPG on the hwy. doing 65-75 mph with my 2023 GX

[@broodp4]

@@jdesmo1 thats funny because I have one too and get nowhere near 20 mpg. Your wallet knows your real mpg so no point debating this any further

How the heck you affording a 2020 GX as a 20 year old? Ya'll flippin LOADED !

[@99Cv]

I test drove a few of these. Found the right mileage/condition one I was looking for on Caravan. It's being delivered in a few days, can't wait!

[@joegrahe3958]

The cruise control stalk is PERFECT. My 94 Lexus had the same thing. It's easy to disengage when needed, unlike searching for a button

[@mdoneg]

Just picked up a 22’ with the interior refresh and more modern AV and Climate control. Sold an 11’ LX570.

[@DevonReclaimed]

Ultra Bargain. Bought mine in October of 2023 and it makes me feel unstoppable. A true world class true SUV thats can take you anywhere. The only let downs are: The dated infotainment (wish there was a 2022 retrofit kit.) The lack of power ( would have been nice if they updated it to a version of the 5.0L V8) The body kit gets in the way of using the off-road capability (get ready to chop up the bumper!)

[@Arkeo36]

I too wish that the final year of this generation of the GX had the 2UR v8. Doesn't need to have 475 horsepower like an RCF has, but 400+ horsepower would have been cool in a GX500.

[@Mlachake]

I bought my 2017 GX 460 Sept last year, it's been nothing but a joy. I work from home so the milage I have added to it is very low. This is a gem, and I plan to keep it for a long time. I owned a 1998 LS 400 (best Lexus ever built), a 2002 LS 430 Ultra and 2008 LS 460 (bad choice). So far bar none GX 460 is at par with LS 400 when it comes to reliability, and then it takes it up a notch higher. Its capability is amazing no wonder many call it the apocalypse must have UTV.

[@seanmayfield8826]

Bought a new GX460 last year. Love it. Plan to keep it til the wheels fall off.

[@willtuanaki1854]

2016 bought at 50k miles, now it's at 170k and the only thing I changed out was the transfer case, plugs, and oil at around 5k. Still runs rock solid. Love this V8. I'll take the dated infotainment system with the V8 over the newer models with the V6 turbo. Especially being in Arizona where summer heat kills turbo durability and performance, the time tested NA of this model means I can run this for at least another 150k before looking for another engine.

[@scottluthy5828]

The old v8s and v6s that Toyota , Lexus made will go up in price due to their reliability. New Toyotas it seems will be stressed engines with turbo charging.

[@aa-hd3ih]

Turbo engines are not always stressed fyi, look at diesels / they are always turbo charged and last just as long as any v8 Toyota gas engines (at least the older diesels did prior to emissions restrictions)

[@trump4america704]

@@aa-hd3ihagreed. I have a ‘14 VW Touareg TDI- mainly because work commute round trip is all highway. However- we need a new family rig and I cannot think of a better rig than an older GX or Land Cruiser. With 3 kiddos, the Land Cruiser is likely the win.

The gx 460 drives so much nicer than a 4runner it’s NUTS.

[@Sam9wilson9]

100% Compared the two and brought a new 23 GX. I really wanted the forerunner but just couldn’t do it especially since I got 12% off MSRP on the GX

[@Thefury06484]

Hell yeah nice, I actually just sold my 23 gx and got a 2017 Toyota Land Cruiser but there are things about the gx I miss already!

[@C.J.Bragg_Creator]

I love my 2012! To me, it’s what the Skyline R34 GTR is to the tuner world but way under rated in comparison. I find it funny how so many have no clue about the GX460 and what you get for the $$. One of those rides you look forward to getting behind the wheel in.

[@JavierCR25]

Best 4x4 on the market along with its Prado and 4Runner brethren

[@christopherkozal7987]

We love our ‘14 & when it comes time for a new(er) one, I’ll probably go with the ‘23 with updated infotainment/Apple CarPlay. It’s just hard to beat this GX series. But you said it earlier Ben, if you intend to keep cars for a long time, like my Fam does….this is a no-brainer.

[@METamez]

Round Rock Toyota outside of Austin, TX just received a ‘23 GX 460 premium sport plus, with only 540 miles! Caviar with macademia and ML. Waiting on dealer to provide pricing!

[@ivankorth4458]

Love my 23 GX

[@husshardan3511]

You should compare the quality of the interior materials vs the new 550. Also - does the hood shake on the 460 like it does on the 550? To show I’m not full on new GX550 hate… I saw a couple in the last few days and they look way better IRL than in videos/photos etc. really a great looking SUV and it does make the new LandCruiser look super cheap in comparison.

[@eighty6films]

YES! Make sure you don’t eliminate your downtravel when u lift it…

[@DV8shredder]

I bought a brand new 2023 and really wanted to like it , however it had a vibration that I could never get to the bottom of and ultimately traded it in before the first payment was due. 😢

[@Tom-uf2um]

I own one, currently a 2020GX Luxury trim and 2014 RX. I’ve had many Lexus (or is it Lexi) 8 I think, for quality and reliability. But man the 2020 grill is disappointing and distracting.

Yeah it’s just the way they are once you get used to it it’s totally fine. The way the acceleration and the breaking work are very conducive to Offroad

You must be working for that dealership. $42K is insanely overpriced for that old barn on wheels that requires PREMIUM gas. You didn't mention that in your review.

[@MrTeslaX]

Super reliable but just an inferior machine for the price. Here are the cons: - Slow uninspiring V8, really shows it age while going uphill - Pre 2022 model has very dated and ugly interiors - 3rd row is sketchy and practically useless for adults - no space after 3rd row, smaller luggage space with 3rd row down - no lane centering or autosteer, even for 2023 model - silly MPG for such a slow and smallish suv - less off road support compared to 4runner
