The GX, largely unchanged for 2019, is still an amazing SUV. Quiet, comfortable, and an immense presence on and off road. The lack of an updated interior, electronics, technology, and efficiency must be considered when in the market for a luxury SUV. If you plan on owning this vehicle for a long time...then it will surely last the test of time.

There is a reason I bought a 2017 Lexus 460 GX. I don't need the gimmicks that I pay a premium for but will never use, In my younger years I bought an LS430 Ultra Luxury and learned my lesson. Unless I have a chauffeur driving me around I don't need all the fluff, I'm all about practicality and reliability.

I love all these reviews that talk about the Lexus being outdated. Does anyone understand that that is the goal? They want the cars to be insanely reliable, so they use tried and true parts and techniques. Not the latest gadgets that break down after a few years. Hello?

You are right about brake pedal. I just bought the used 2019 GX. When I first drove it I was surprised it didn’t stop completely when I push my foot on the brake pedal, I thought the brake worn out but like you said it needs to push all the way down for it to stop completely which imo is not good. Thanks for your review as always.

will they be adding the same automatic braking system and driver assist features, blind spot monitoring as the RX? I will wait to see what the 2020 model year refresh is since I am hoping they will update the tech as well as styling to bring it in line with the rest of their lineup.

People frequently say of the LX that it is "indestructible"...and "will last forever". Is the GX equally "indestructible" ...and will it too "last forever"...or is it a step down in longevity, durability and longevity? Which is a better car if the goal is to keep it forever? Which of the two vehicles do you prefer? Great video...thank you!

LX should be a longer laster...but it should when it costs nearly double.
@Questtt3
@Questtt3 5 лет назад
Kirk Kreifels Thanks for your help Kirk! If I may ask you, why do you feel the LX will last longer? Is one more prone to rust, frame stronger/less prone to rust, higher quality components, etc? Perhaps wrongly, but I was under the impression both LX and GX were made in same factory in Japan along with Toyota Land Cruiser and Prado...so same work force...and that GX was essentially a slightly differently designed, smaller LX with of course slightly less posh appointments...but core build was pretty much on par with LX. Not true? Thank you!
@KirkKreifels
@KirkKreifels 5 лет назад
LX has a better interior in my opinion and it should hold up better over time. Both are super reliable. Find one that you like the best, you can't make a bad choice with either.

Of course is the same , they can’t change everything every year ,and new doesn’t mean better. 10 years old are the best , any problems are already fix and Lexus runs for 30 years with no problems. Don’t buy new Don’t buy Certified “ that’s a dealer scam . I own a 2009 ls 460 l awd , 128 k miles , I drove the 2013 with 32 k miles . Mine feels better, on ride and how the car handle. I pay 14.450 cash . Please don’t finance either, if you can’t afford pay cash , buy an old one , IS the same car, is the same car .

The ones with the sport lipped bumpers are a part of a sport package (i can't t think of the exact name right now). We get new 2019 GX with and without that sport package.

LEXUriouS Kirk looks like it’s different for us Canadians. In the US those are an add on for $2000 called sport design. Even on the luxury package, it’s still an add on. Here we have 3 packages: base technology and luxury. All of them have the sport design included.

It’s a nice car, but I think it screams Toyota 4Runner. The interior looks so dated and the infotainment display drives me crazy- why the constant beep at every press? The last time I saw that same system was in a 2006 Toyota Sienna! Also, I will say that the window master switch looks exactly like a Toyota’s window switch control... Lexus needs their own, separate parts to seem more upmarket. I know that the lights aren’t a big deal on such a small control, but I do like to see which button I am pressing, especially if it is really dark- it’s the small details in my option that matter. Nice job, Dude!
@KirkKreifels

I don’t necessarily see it as a bad thing functionally, but I just wish maybe they “dressed” them up a bit. I think it would improve the overall feel of the car. Don’t get me wrong, I respect this car- it’s a nice ride! I just think it needs a bit of help.

Body on frame does not make it a truck for instance a 1980 Chevy Caprice is body on frame but you wouldn't call it a truck would you? No! A truck is any vehicle that has a bed or bare frame in the back a suv is a car base on a truck platform.

Based on your review of the 2019 GX 460 (standard or premium models), Toyota Lexus isn't offering competitive packages. I guess my next vehicle in the near future may be a Mercedes rather than a Toyota. Today, Mercedes offers up-to-date safety , comfort, and entertainment packages. Someone at Toyota goofed IMHO.
@KirkKreifels
@KirkKreifels 5 лет назад
GX is an amazing vehicle - reliable, luxurious, and one of the best off road vehicles in the world. It is however behind on technology and safety unless you splurge for the luxury package...like I said Lda, radar cruise, and pre collision should be standard!
@KirkKreifels
@KirkKreifels 5 лет назад
You'll pay an incredible amount for things like radar cruise control in Mercedes. GX is a way better value and a far better long term ownership vehicle.

LEXUriouS Kirk Yes, I agree the costs do add up. I plan to test drive both a Mercedes and a Lexus. I’m disappointed how Toyota has been offering carry overs each year. Both Lexus and 4Runner models. Perhaps I should consider looking for used Land Cruisers, since new models start in the 80k price range. Off road capability is not a priority for me. Reliability and safety are. Total cost of ownership (TCO) is another factor, but I think it is complex to determine.

Never purchased a car that I hated so much, but I was forced to after a test drive... It's a Prado but it's more powerful, refined, smooth, more class, just heavy solid feel of an old Mercedes. It's quite and comfortable to a point that it could relax your muscles and gives you a stress relief... without the fancy seat massagers... Wish lexus updated the design, infotainment and gearbox. The GX was built with heavy work in mind so gearbox works like a proper 4wd irrespective of where you drive it...
