Ok, now I miss my BRZ 😂 ❄️

[@andrewfrancis3952]

Maybe a Toyota Supra build?? 😉

[@rajarafe8736]

s2000?

[@TtMiTcHeLL9515]

I thought you sold the Gx460

[@discoverychannel1o1]

You should get a wrx

[@rampagedingo]

I mean your profile picture is the BRZ

[@cjzx325]

The TRD wheels look so good on this.

[@MarkPharaoh]

Me, also with a GX460 on AT3s: stop giving me ideas 😂

[@abedekok322]

Installed some AT3s on my Tacoma recently, really great tires for the daily commute and the occasional hoot down a dirt road. Thanks for showing 'em off in proper fashion

[@alh06]

We got snow down here in Southern Texas, 4 inches!

[@TheTopher]

That’s more than we’ve had in southeast MI

[@laxislife143]

Lexus might be my favorite car brand

[@Airwuk]

The GX looks great with those wheels

[@alexevans0430]

Always love seeing some GX videos here

[@hongsitu3429]

Oh good you still have your gx. I wont have to unsubscribe. 👍

[@charliedee9276]

I have these on my Quadra Drive 04 Grand Cherokee, almost as good as the winters I run and fantastic on wet pavement. Outstanding in the sand up north as well, I am also in Michigan.

[@adobewanjerkobi]

Awesome. I was doing some snowy drifts in my GX in the abandoned K mart parking lot and the rear bias makes it pretty fun for such a tall vehicle.

[@topfunnyclips5807]

I love watching gx because the are on my heart 💜 i want buy one if i get a chance... Good job toper...

[@luckyyou774]

Nice rims

[@matth6284]

My snow tires have to handle VTEC I'm surprised they aren't bald yet cause of the power

[@troymokwe18]

Can you do a review on the mustang Mach e??

[@YasumotoUS]

Gave used GX 460s serious consideration when car shopping last Fall. I'd still consider one for a future purchase. A friend mentioned the GX as something that he wished that he had considered prior to purchasing his 4Runner due to the V8 and features.

[@rampagedingo]

Welcome back GX460, happy new revolution around the sun once again. Let's check out the video.

[@romaingallard8385]

What’s your impressions comparing your GX to a Rx450h? ( I saw you recently reviewed one ) We’re thinking of replacing our 2012 RX450h for a 2015-2016 GX in a couple years, is the GX smoother to drive ( transmission, suspension..), does the GX feels too big to maneuver?

[@hs_doubbing]

Why are old Lexus turn signal stalks (and sounds) so dang satisfying?

[@TTGamingTrinh]

Mann utah doesn't get this kind of snow anymore😭

[@webbie1891]

I don't think getting the tail out in a 6,200lb vehicle is such a brilliant idea, especially when the ground clearance is so high

[@eg4449]

Its 5,300 lbs. But that's still heavy

[@pascutia]

If you know for a fact that you’re not near any curbs, then you should be good. But I agree.

[@lukasbaardson8532]

I have these tires on my outback! I love them.

[@whatchis1120]

I have the AT3 XLT on my Ram 1500 here in Co, I can pretty much drive in 2wd year round with ease. I only put it in 4wd when its really slippery as the tail wants to come around, yikes in traffic. They got 40k miles on them and tons of tread, starting to notice diminished snow performance, and have started making noise around 45 mph. But defiantly a fantastic tire on this 5800 pound truck, haven't been stuck yet.

[@mls.design]

Just a nice video! I love Lexus!

[@jmcampbell]

ABS and Traction Control maybe old school but they work and are reliable

[@danteisme]

Have you driven a GX470? I'm curious how the 470 and the 460 compare.

[@Affalterbach1967]

Hope for an update when it gets colder, and you can compare to Blizzaks or Hakkas.

[@kyle6209]

Just drove my GX460 on Defenders in the snow for first time in New England such a beast of a truck, no boundaries

[@IM-js2up]

Why u americans never change summer tires at winter?? And why r these tires good if they don't have any grip on snow and ice???

[@gloomyxyz]

What makes you believe the AT3 4S tires are summer tires.....

[@Konkr420]

do these have the snowflake rating?

[@jscott7432]

yes they do

[@Starman-yt8lj]

Nice review! How many miles on the tires now and how are they wearing?

[@lmCIoudz]

Do you do any kind of undercoating on your vehicles? I just covered my Jeep, dad's pickup, and our dump truck in CRC 06026 and fluid film.

[@TheTopher]

Krown every year!

[@RickyLaFluer7]

DO 2ND GEN MR2

[@infidel900rr]

Love this!! Makes me miss driving around Boston in the snow back in my teenage years.

[@jasonm3871]

I love the vids of your GX, but they're a little hard for me to watch. Though had finally found mine (2011, one owner, Premium, 79k miles, accident free), and after a 6 hour drive (under the impression it was being held for me), the dealer (Land Rover/Jag) sold it to someone else (while I was waiting for it to go through service). The hunt continues.....

[@watchreport]

That sucks! They didn’t know you wanted it or? You didn’t drive 6 hours without telling them you were coming to look at it I’m sure.

[@jasonm3871]

@@watchreport They knew, and left me with the impression that it was mine. I first arrived near closing (after the 6 hour drive), and it was too late to do the paperwork (all those people were gone for the day), so I was told they'd have the paperwork ready for me when I came to pick it up the next day (after they were done servicing and washing it (it had just arrived)). It surely wasn't the type of shenanigans I expected from a new luxury dealer. I think one possibility is that an employee kept it for themselves......

[@kiranprince7401]

Where do you live bro? I don't see anyone on the roads!!

[@Jakobly]

so is the GX basically just a Sequoia?

[@adobewanjerkobi]

It’s smaller than a Sequoia. It’s more akin to a Toyota Land Cruiser Prado (which we don’t have in the US)

[@huskynoob7881]

@@adobewanjerkobi an easier comparison would be the 4 runner, its built in the same 150 series platform as the land cruiser prado. The GX actually has a V8 so has the upper hand in most situations.

[@MaximumDIYGarage]

Same platform as 4 Runner and FJ Cruiser, but with a V8

[@Big.W.]

The sequoia is based off the Tundra and built in the USA. The GX is a slightly smaller Land Cruiser built in Japan.

[@Ktheodoss]

This video doesn't really make those tires look good. A good snow rated tire is evaluated by acceleration without spinning, braking within a short distance, holding a turn, and simply moving the vehicle in the direction the tires are pointing. If your turning the steering wheel left and right to keep the vehicle going straight, then that's a failed tire.

[@PackhouseMediaCollective]

I was thinking about this car... ok, I want one.

[@willdog6827]

What year is this GX460?

[@higoodbye3495]

Just a suggestion, if you ever plan on doing any of these vids again could u put a couple cameras on the outside?

[@lukefinch6880]

He always does first person. It's what sets him apart. I think he bought a new camera that he was going to use for outside shots

[@thedrumsetpro2991]

I’m surprised you haven’t made a video on your 4th gen 4Runner...

[@TheTopher]

As soon as it’s out of the shop haha

[@Beefy01]

Excellent review! Keep up the great work.

[@timothybracken1728]

which gen of 460 do you recommend , why not get a new 4runner instead?

[@watchreport]

He has a 4runner

[@basithph8958]

I would like to see the GX go mudding!

[@matty1053]

Decent snow? Michigan hasn't gotten crap... lol

[@TheTopher]

It’s true! We barely get anything anymore

[@ixno3]

Just can't get enough of this GX. Love it.

[@bobbytran8733]

Thanks for the video! Trying to decide if I want to go with these or the Falkens on my GX...

[@Baggged_LC]

Running these coopers AT4S on our LX570, their r a bit noisy than the stock tires especially going above 70+mph.

[@bobbytran8733]

@@Baggged_LC interesting! I think I’ve decided on the Falken Wildpeaks

[@dragon75dude]

Love these GX videos. Keep them up!

[@mdkgod43]

Now I want a GX

[@thamimaluki7586]

So this is a tatted up Toyota Prado.

[@TheTopher]

Yep

[@youtubecomments5951]

Lmao I have a 2010 gx460 in silver with black trd rims with cooper discovery atw tires

[@aaronbooth9222]

What did you cross shop with the GX?

[@TheTopher]

Tried to find a clean, rust free 4runner or FJ and couldn’t. Glad I did because the GX is in another league with comfort and quality. But that said, just picked up a cheap 4th Gen V8 4Runner and probably going to sell the GX soon. Video coming on that hopefully this next week!

[@vsrap71]

@@TheTopher you should sell it on Cars and Bids! lol

[@ayoobhussien7361]

H

[@giggity3412]

this car is actually looks like prado

[@luka_abh]

Because it's a luxury version of Prado
