The Lexus GX is an Iconic SUV. Should you buy it in 2022? Let's find out

The Lexus GX460 is officially the oldest Lexus model sold in the US after the Lexus LX got updated for 2022. So is the oldest Lexus Truck worth buying in 2022?
The Lexus GX, The Toyota Prado and The Toyota 4Runner are iconic names in the truck world. These are the kind of trucks that are build in a different era where trucks were made like tanks.
In this video we'll take a full tour of the 2022 Lexus GX. A True Legend!
We'll start with an introduction to the Lexus GX's brothers.
Then we'll go into a Technical review of the Lexus GX to see what makes it one of the most reliable trucks if not THE most reliable truck to come out of Toyota\Lexus land.
Then We'll take a look at the exterior and the interior of the Lexus GX.
Lastly I will share with you some things I don't like about the Lexus GX and my thoughts on it.

[@Darthreloy]

When I worked in Afghanistan I had to on many occasions drive from Kabul to Bagram at breakneck speeds, over huge potholes, on and off the dirt on both sides of the road. In other words Fast and hard. Occasionally I had the pleasure of driving the Lexus GX. It was the ultimate vehicle for that kind of crazy driving because it felt the most confident, it handled, it didnt throw passengers around as much, smooth quiet, awesome real world tough as nails 4x4.

@@beyondhometown Wife and I are now divorced, but I believe her GX is approaching 240K now. It needs wheel bearings, valve cover gaskets, front suspension work, and a few other things. Nothing mechanical is wrong with it, but it needs several thousand to bring it back to normal currently.

Thanks for reviewing the GX. I love my 2017. It’s such a great, quality vehicle. Just make sure you treat the undercarriage with fluid film or something similar to avoid rust. I live in the Chicago area and that’s the one weakness with all the salt.

Solid review. I wanted a Grand Cherokee Summit and got a better deal on my 2020 GX. I relocated from the city and now live on a Ranch. You can’t really appreciate this vehicle if you only hit Starbucks drive thru. It is a beast that can tackle mud, hills, and whatever you throw at it. You can then rinse it off and show up at that 5 star restaurant ( which are atleast 3 hours away from me). Bottom line this is arguably the most versatile, affordable luxury off roader with a V8 on the market. Gas is terrible but it rides like a dream.

[@zekethep1umber]

we just got a GX. i thought your final verdict was in line with our buying experience and thought process 16:25 exactly - for what youre getting, the price of the GX is very very good. ESPECIALLY since cheaper makes/models are forcing you to pay markups now, and a lot of lexus dealerships are still not doing that (ours did not, but i know some are) 16:53 when you sit in it you do actually smile. i test drove an RX 350 before the GX, but only in the GX did i smile 18:04 we did look at the 4runner - shared those two EXACT thoughts compared to the GX - 4Runner felt UNDER POWERED with CHEAPER looking/feeling interior!

[@brianmcgauley2664]

We just got a ‘23 and LOVE it. Yes, the mileage is poor, but when you understand the mechanics of that engine’s injection system, combined with the weight and the transfer box, you understand. I had an Expedition with 3rd row seats that were used ONCE in 12 years. You just don’t need them very often. The GX’s “3rd row” is better described as a well-designed cargo area with an emergency 3rd row.

My GX has the optional 2nd row captains seats that are heated. A very nice place to be. The captain's seats allow for more legroom for those needing to sit in the third row. Only downside is with the third row up then no luggage space. Don't expect to fill every seat while taking luggage.

[@venelinkeremedchiev9643]

The current Prado in EU is called LC150 (Land Cruiser 150). What is interesting is that now in 2022 the top level model is called Black Edition and you can only barely tell the difference from the other levels from the outside look (it has very nice looking specific wheels) and probably some small badge but that one i just guess. The inside however - it comes with a top quality interior, really lexus level. Its awsome.

Spot on review! Just 2 weeks ago I traded my 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLE450 4Matic for a brand new 2023 Lexus GX460, the LAST ONE my dealer had and I absolutely love the GX… one of the best decisions I’ve ever made buying a vehicle. Thank you for this review, it makes me feel even better about my decision!

We’re on our 2nd GX. There is no substitute.
