In this video I go over the history of the GX460, where it started from, and what it is today. This is my personal SUV and really got it because the previous family car died and it was time to shop around for something that can fit the family, and no, I wasn't going to buy a minivan.

I never understand criticism of the infotainment system. Who cares. It has Bluetooth and usb and navigation. What else do you need?

@Dan_And_Daves_Garage Месяц назад

Android auto or Apple car play is nice but there are plug and play kits to add it so it's not that big of a deal

@loganurquhart11 Месяц назад

Just car play or android auto.

I spy CrossClimate 2s, good man! I have them on my Subaru Forester XT and I love them. I'm looking to replace it with a GX460, probably also a 2010-13 in white lol

I just did the timing belt / water pump in my 05 Gx470, it was 90k overdue!!! It has 281k I’d definitely buy another! Our had 140k when we bought it. All we’ve done is change oil!

@Dan_And_Daves_Garage 5 месяцев назад

Nice. Those GX470s are built like tanks. I was looking at them myself but wanted something a little lower mileage than the 250-300k the ones being sold had. Any lower miles and for a little extra money I was in GX460 territory which made the decision pretty straightforward

@loganurquhart11 Месяц назад

I did a water pump at 60k cause of a leak

I’m one of those guys too! Bought a 2010 to take on adventures with the kids. It does everything. Love it.

My wife had a 2010 RX but got in an accident so we replaced it with a 2020 RX and she really likes it. I liked that older 2010 RX and said let's get another like that for a relatively low cost. But we live in the mountains of Colorado and could use a rugged vehicle so she thought we should get a GX instead of an older RX. But most of them were very high mileage, typically over 150k miles. Two months ago we found a silver 2013 GX in very good condition with only 21k miles so we got it. While it drives like a truck due to having a frame chassis, it appears it can handle any bad driving condition. We got a 4 foot snow 6 weeks ago and the GX didn't care.

@Dan_And_Daves_Garage 5 месяцев назад

That's a really low mileage example. I think one of the lowest I saw for sale was in the mid-50s but it wasnt anywherd near me. Driving like a truck doesn't bother me, especially since I'm used to driving my 80 series. I also don't think it's a valid complaint. How else is it supposed to drive? Its body on frame with decent ground clearance and a live rear axle. Of course it "drives like a truck" because it is one, haha.

@@Dan_And_Daves_Garage The RX drives like a car and is more sporty. We had an 1994 80 series and gave it to my stepson for his wife to use as a daily driver. While slower, I found the 80 series more fun to drive than the more cushy ride of the GX.

@Mi5taKlean 5 месяцев назад

21K miles, wow! Practically brand new. Hope y’all got a good deal on it.

@loganurquhart11 Месяц назад

Congrats on that GX find. Loving my 2017.

@drwisdom1 Месяц назад

@@Mi5taKlean We also thought about getting a 4Runner. 4Runners are really popular here and the commonest vehicle in Colorado. We went to a used car dealer and they had 50 of them. But they were all in the mid 30s or higher with 60k miles and up. Even though the GX is really just a 4Runner with an 8 cylinder engine, they aren't near as popular and cost less than 4Runners. I think the looks of 4Runners make them more popular with young people. We are old and have large steep hills to climb, so a lower priced GX is a better fit for us.

You should fix that small rock chip at rear swing gate otherwise that would rust out quickly

If you are referring to the spot over the GX460 badge in the intro that is a piece of vegetation that fell from a tree

@loganurquhart11 Месяц назад

That year looks good too. I have a 2017 and it looks like you have more of an approach angle. These guys are actually made in Japan and the high wood trim quality shows it.

@Dan_And_Daves_Garage Месяц назад

The 2010-13 GX460s do have more approach angle. Allegedly as well the simpler front fascia makes it easier to install a winch bumper. I'll probably do an update video later but so far, everything has been great and no issues.

Back in 2021 I sold my 2016 Limited 4Runner full time 4WD and bought a 1 owner leased 2018 GX460 Premium. The V8 and the transmission on the GX makes a world of difference. Of course, the KDSS, ATRAC which is standard on the GX460 is another plus! Mines has been to the OBX dunes, trails and mountains. Absolutely love the GX. Thanks for the video.

Where is the part 3 of suzuki GS750? 😊

@Dan_And_Daves_Garage 4 месяца назад

David's ordered all the parts and is now working on it. For some reason he decided to buy some BMWs and those have been keeping him busy. Our planned release schedule is: 1. New BMW project 2. Part 2 Nissan 300ZX 3. Part 3 Suzuki GS750
