2020 Lexus GX460 | Suited for World's End 

I have a GX i drive for work. I drive ~1000 miles every single week and have done it for years. It has 470,000 and has been in the shop exactly 1 time when I hit a deer at 50 mph. Nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing, has ever broken.

The fuel economy in a V8 Lexus is simply the reliability tax.

I just bought the last 2023 GX460 my dealer had an could not be more pleased! It is everything you need, and nothing you don’t all wrapped in a beautiful package that will last the rest of my life…

The master of perspective. Rather than ripping a dated design he distilled the rationale for it. This had long been a question I have had.

It will be a sad day when cars like this are no longer made

I absolutely love this thing. It's perfect as far as I'm concerned. Also, funny you mention going to the grave with it. My neighbor bought a Land Cruiser Prado in the late 1990s and he died a couple of months ago but his wife and daughter still drive the thing. It's almost 25 years old at this point and it didn't have an easy life either because they own a lumber company and it spent its life on forest roads. Imagine something so indestructible that you abuse it nearly a quarter of a century and you die before it dies. The cockroach of vehicles.

my mom just passed down her 2009 gx470 to my sister, still runs like new. Now she has a 2020 gx460. :) These things get handed down from generation to generation lol

Matt Moreman of Obsessed Garage said you are by far the best car reviewer on his live stream yesterday. I think we all agree.

300HP, 4.6L V8, port injected. In a world of overstressed engines, those stats alone support the reliability claims.

Strangely, my 2012 GX has become one of my favorite vehicles I’ve owned. I was shopping 4Runners, FJs, Tacomas, and a 15 minute test drive sold me on the GX comparatively. The GXOR group on Facebook has grown immensely the last couple years, some people are doing some crazy things to and with their GXs!

Watched a bunch of GX 460 videos and this the best and most balanced review by a long shot. I just bought a new 2021 GX 460 and am glad that I did. Oh, I still own a 1989 Maytag washer too. Works great. Reliability trumps everything for me.

I bullshit you not. I’ve watched this video probably a 100 times. 😂 proud owner of a 23 gx. First new car ever

My dream 4x4 off-roady car. This is luxory, reliability, off-road capability combine in one. Actually you are the only maintsream reviewer understand that car.

2020 Lexus GX460 - Suited for World's End Well...in that case, just in time then.

Sir. We own 2. 450,000 combined miles. Your review is spot on.

I got one of these in early 2021. I’d say 70% of my decision process came from watching this review 5 times. Nice work guys! Very happy with the 1865 technology.

Here in Colombia, just recently Toyota started selling their lesser models such as the Corolla. As a brand it is mainly known for the Prado lineup, for this it is perceived as a luxury brand, and it sells these luxury trucks as hot bread. But most of the prestige that comes from having a modern Prado or a Lexus GX or LX is precisely because they are the same vehicle as a 20-year-old one. They are bulletproof and are extremely capable of road. On many places of the country, those are the 2 most important features. As of today in cities you can found swarms of modern Prados that retail for over $85k and on rural areas most of the trucks you find are 90’s, 80’s,70’s and even 60’s Land cruisers fully working and carrying 3 times their cargo capacity. They are so bullet proof they have embedded themselves on culture. Outselling by a mile premium German brands, while having even more expensive models.

Love it man. The further we get into new car tech and design, the more I crave the basics and simplicity of the 90s and early 2000s.

Sales figures for the 2022 GX are the highest since the 2005 model. 2005 was the GX's first year and 2022 still has a chance to beat 2005 in the last quarter. It has not been updated in 12 years and doesn't need to be considering the current sales figures. If 4runners sell new for >50K the GX460 is a steal at 60K. I just bought a 2022 Green GX, Black line special edition for 60K.

Just said goodbye to my beloved 2005 GX470. I never had a moment of regret, even though she was the most expensive purchase I ever made (besides my house). After 17 years and 200k miles, my "tank in a tuxedo" was worth every penny. Kept up with all the Lexus-recommended service and she never failed me - can't praise this chariot enough! Sure-footed on ice, snow, wet roads, and even on the beach when other trucks got stuck in the sand. Awaiting delivery of my 2022 Lexus GX460 - I'm confident I can look forward to another long & dependable life with the best SUV in its class. Oh - and I call the incredible visibility inside the GX the "greenhouse view" - virtually non-existent blindspots. Thanks for a great video review!

Finally a proper review of the GX. I cant stand all the other youtuber reviewers that will compare this with other luxury SUVs. For better or worse, its a different class of vehicle and the guarantee that this will be running when everything else is in the junk yard is the key point. And I love technology but automotive infotainment is the worst kind of technology and this car just opts out of all the bullshit that is packed into cars every day.

My 2010 GX 460 got 257,000 miles, and it still runs like new. I had to open the hood only a few times to replenish the window washer fluid and replace the headlight bulb, and honestly, I love my 2010 GX 460 over my 2016 Model X and 2018 Q7.

This channel is something special. Combination of subtle humor, excellent editing, thoughtful music selection, and a unique and informed perspective on each vehicle. Not just another repackaged car review. There is a deeper part of vehicle ownership which is recognized here. Nice job, and thank you for the refreshing entertainment and perspective.

Done for the rest of my life - LOVE MY GX. I am glad you finally gave this a review.

My 2011 has 209,000 miles with air suspension. Zero issues. I live in Lake Tahoe so not the easiest area for cars either.

"Best vehicle to ride through a zombie apocolypse - nine out of ten zombies agree!"

These are beautiful beasts. I have an 05 land cruiser. Bought it new back in 05 and it is still flawless going strong at 280,000 miles never had an issue. These proper SUVS ARE THE BEST

1 year later, I followed 2 paths that were not for me in life and seeing this video again makes me think how much progress I've made. Finally being at peace (mostly) with myself pushes me to do things I love to do again. My grandpa used to have a gx460, and he brought me that peace as well by going on some long car rides talking about anything and everything. Although it's just a car review, it's far more than that for me. Thank you for doing what you do.

This is the best overall review on RU-vid for the Lexus Gx! I own 2021 LX, 2019 Gx and 2014 Gx. I am a huge Fj heritage fanatic and love these beefy Lexus naturally aspirated V8s! Built to last!

I had one of these for 4 years and you guys are spot on about it and its purpose. It's a dependable off-road luxury workhorse.

I watched many GX videos in early 2020. It was this one that fixed my mind. Two years of owning a GX 2020 and it is a great experience. Thank you.

I like your reviews, they are thorough and the best part i like is when you show what is under the vehicle. You are the best in this crowded RU-vid market.

I literally just got my 2015 GX460 certified pre owned last month. And you guys got it on the dot. When i have other sports cars that arent practical, I cant help but love to have a suv like this that you can always rely on. Knowing i can easily work on it myself is awesome. The crazy aftermarket support is awesome. Keep up the good content!

For the GX and 4runner, you will truly appreciate these once taken offroad and seeing how well it does. And the fact that you can make it home with no worries.

This is how I feel about Toyota products in general. They’re all around good vehicles that are balanced and usable for a long time.

I went over all of the reviews and videos on the 2020 GX 460 before picking up the phone and buying a certified one with super low miles. I have lived out of the country for 3 years but am returning soon and needed a car when I return. This review is the reason I bought this suv, you did a great job without getting all flowery. I can't wait to get back in a few weeks and finally get to drive the beast. Many thanks!

I have a 2008 GX470, so I usually receive a GX460 when I take mine for service. I can feel the improvements in chassis tuning and drive quality in this vehicle over the older generation. Even it is still an old vehicle, there is something about it I really love. It is graceful, subtle, simple, but most importantly, it gets the job done in the most drama free way. Sometimes a drama free life is a good thing. I highly recommend a GX460 even though I wish they would have improved the engine performance and gas consumption on this more.

Love your videos! Keep up the good work.

Love your videos. Bought this truck 3 years ago and everything you said in this video is me and the reason I bought this thing. Wife uses it now for hauling kids, and in 2 years it goes to me and will be my truck until I get sick of it. Plan to build it up and drive it till it falls apart. I am a huge Land Cruiser fan and this vehicle is the next 60/80 series that we all loved for decades in our "cult".

Another amazing car review film sir. Also that intro song was fire and it really worked somehow.

I too own one of these GX's, all true, and love it long time! Keep up the great work!

Hey, Geese For the persons like me who don't know a thing about the underbodies of vehicles, can you directly point out the parts you're mentioning? And maybe why those parts are more advantageous on the topic vehicle? Like, a Mechanical Parts 101 for dummies. Sorry in advance if you've covered.. please provide link if this is the case.

I have been waiting for your review on Lexus GX for a long long time. Finally, it is here. Very nicely presented as always. By the way, watched your Miata documentary twice and enjoy every second of it.

That out of the boot driving shoot is absolutely amazing!

This has to be the most honest and funniest automotive channel! We need to protect you at all cost 🤣

Thumbs up for the cinematography/ video quality. Pans on point. Loved the under body view, thinking to up grade to the GX from my FJ. Keep up the great work.

Brilliantly done guys. Keep up the good work!

The mpg evens out with zero breakdowns. You end up spending the same long term, but zero unscheduled visits to the service dept.

Love your reviews, you nailed the spirit of a Toyota product, and this one has a V8 with a soul in it. Because so many toyota products are souless!. Keep on going with the great work!

I've yet to try out one of the gx460s but your comment about it being comfortable for big people - over 6'3 - is EXACTLY what I wanted to know. I test drove a 2014 land cruiser and I was surprised to find less than an inch of head clearance (to my bald head!) even with seats at max depth. I can't wait to give one of these a try and hopefully I find my true land cruiser experience!

The song is "All Emotions" by Daniel Gunnarson

13:17 That washing machine comparison is spot on. Surprised it still has a swing gate though!

The intro, nailed it. I have owned 2 GX and each time had to sell them for some reason. more room, need something else.. etc.. and right now, here I am supposed to be researching a Tundra, F-150, or the like but I am back looking at the GX. I can’t count how many people describe it as bland, outdated, etc.. but when you have owned one you get it. I have driven my GX cross country from CA to GA, in the mountains of CA, on long commutes and damn.. they just rock.

I drive a 2012 GX 460, with the F Sport package, that I picked up used about a year ago. With 85,000 miles and 8 year it feels new. Felt like this might as well have been a review of my GX. These trucks are timeless.

Underrated channel ! Love the content, it gives me goosebumps 👌🔥

i started dancing around my office during the intro.

*Scotty Kilmer* approves of this message.

thanks for the great review. I am researching this vehicle and am very happy that I found your channel. I had many concerns regarding the age of the technology, but now I understand why it is what it is.

I have a GX 460 2010 and it’s simply the best truck I’ve ever had. I plan on keeping for years and just drive everywhere I can.

Someone at work has one with a nice lift, TRD wheels and some knobby tires. It's usually pretty dirty on Monday mornings haha!

Love GX, all my friends have owned one... Such a tank... So good

Beautiful SUV. And terrific video, I really appreciate the quality of your reviews, really top notch. Good stuff my man!

Even without your great shoots, the content is great! Just great!

Giving a thumbs up for the 80s intro music alone phenomenal!

- This is A Great Review ; Contains All Aspects of the Lexus ! Thanks From AFGHANISTAN ; Mazar-e-sharif ! Subbed

Love this modern day SUV having the gut and personality of an old school truck but still keeping up without problem today. Interior is also nice yet straightforward. Great review.

I recently had a rental Yukon and that OnStar made not even think about buying the car. I am now the proud owner of a 2016 GX460 and loving it. :)

I just bought one. Love it. Quality and comfort are remarkable. Nice and honest video.

Bought a new Lux ‘23 package, after a month I’m in love and am certain I’ll never sell it. Oh, & we can knock off one of the cons; I have an updated center console w touch screen & Apple CarPlay. W.

i can totally understand why this is appealing. you get the looks of a modern car, but the simplicity from an older one - this is exactly what i would like to drive and also the reason why i appreciate older cars.

Never seen two more laid back guys speak in a video than these two guys (unlike Scotty Kilmer and the Doug guy) and I still like it.They don't move their hands or even smile, but they transmit the necessary info on the Lexus GX. I like it.

I really like the shot at 11:48.

Am I really the only one that LOVES the spindle grille on the GX? I think it fits so well. I have an IS F sport and it fits that car well too, but i love the new face on the 2020 GX. It looks great!

I love your channel, when you did the mach 3 razor skit I was on the floor, lol🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Once again SG hit the nail on the head in the most epic way! ❤

I have a 2013 and it's my favorite washing machine ever.

I do emotionally love mine! I just replaced my 2004. It had 55k original miles but never a single failure. The only "repair" in 16 years was to change the grease on the emergency brake. With no more miles than I put on my vehicle, the dependability is an even trade on gas mileage.

What an introduction!! Straight to the essence👍🏾

Great video, thank you so much!!! Awesome truck, love the interior!!

The 4runner’s sophisticated cousin that holds his pinky up while drinking tea.

Jack's laugh sounds like what you do if someone were to ask you what laughing is.

This is one of the most comprehensive & convincing purchase review I have ever seen. Ty team geese.

The intro music killed me😂. Good choice

The Lexus GX is the 150-series Land Cruiser Prado. These are built to last a minimum of 25 years in the world’s harshest conditions.

I have a heavily modded GX 470 and love it. Wish I had that rear end from the 460 in mine with a factory locker.

I like the wide angle view with the camera mounted in the back when you’re accelerating. Makes it seem like I’m in the back of the car lol. You should definitely include it more often 👍🏾

Absolutely amazing review! Thanks.

This thing will outlast any other SUV out there!

I know an lx470 with hydro-air suspension that had no (suspension, filter) maintenance, 180.000km on gravel roads, 14years, 3 medium accidents, and still no problems with suspension (hydro-air expensive parts), used in comfort 90% of the time.

Amazing review! Wonderful soundtrack! Thank you!

Love my 06 GX470, I did part with my 00 Land Cruiser but the ride and comfort was a step up. I agree with all the points in this video

You had me on '' You can gift it to your grand children ''.

My wife has owned 4 4Runners and this will most likely be her next car. When we met she owned a Bronco II, so she clearly favors the "truckish" ride and as far as technology, she couldn't care less.

And your channel is very informative! Great job Thank You👊👊🏼👊🏽😎

Love the new camera angles!!

Love my Gx, everything is spot on

I don’t know why I watch videos about cars I’ll never be able to afford lol

Bought a '21 premium plus a few months ago. Love the car. Does everything I need it to, and does it well. Incredibly quiet inside. Have an '18 Mazda 3 as my fun car. Thanks goose, you're the best on youtube.

I have two GX460s, both with premium packages , one with sports package which comes with a pair of captain chairs and silver trimmed front rear bumpers . Love both !

You should also mention that the optional Mark Levinson sound system, combined with the quiet of the ride, is the best audio experience on wheels: by A LOT.
