FORGET THE RX350... BUY THIS! 2018 Lexus GX460 Review | Truck Central 

it needs a more powerful and efficient engine, as well as apple carplay and android auto...2020 maybe?

How much more power do you need? I think the powertrain is well matched to the chassis. Old, solid, and proven reliable. It’s no pansy crossover, it’s not for every one :)

In Australia they sell 13,000 land cruiser Prados per year making it the biggest selling vehicle of its type in the country. Add to this the 11,000 larger LandCruiser wagons australia is one of the biggest markets for the LC in all model types. But U fortunately it only comes with a 2.8 litre diesel which is a tad underpowered.

Truck Central It’s a Land Cruiser Prado.

TheMontegonian Android Auto isn’t dire. It’s just a trend.

Proven reliability to last forever. The UN, National Geographic, Discovery Channel, Muslim Freedom Fighters (ISIS, Hezbollah, Al Qaeda, etc) , Columbian Druglords , etc don't order and prefer this Toyota Prado for no reasons. They all know this is the go-anywhere and come back safely, and ultimate escape SUV.

I am dealing with a strawberry milkshake and they just replaced the transmission, radiator and AT cooler (under warranty)... 2014 @ 50k miles. SAD! Coolant in the transmission. BS, man.

...frame on dated & and doesn't hav apple play.... who the fk cares.. it will last 350k miles. My Lexus is 10 years old and every single component still works on it from the air-conditioned seats to The Turning headlights.

According to the repair pal, this car is rated 3.5 in reliability. That's lower than cx5, crv, 4runner. I also found lots of people are having problems with this vehicle. Expensive car, expensive to maintain

I am 41, i just bought an used GX460 (2020) with 14k miles. It is probably my last car before retirement lol.

You forgot about LX570,Land Cruiser and 4Runner.

True but this one has the legendary tundra engine. 4 runner is good with a proven v6. The land cruiser is expensive and not as luxurious with similar durability.... So if you want luxury and offroad gx is great.

juliansdiamonds same here about to buy one

Noypi54494 Thanks for the novel, bro!

I have a 2016 4Runner limited with auto side steps. I swapped out all the interior lamps and exterior bulbs to LED and I mean ALL of them. With Weathertech wind deflectors (not on the hood, or moonroof -that's atrocious) I now get many compliments and sometimes it's easy for me to pretend I'm in a Lexus and convince others that it's just a badge shy of being one. There's not a day that goes by that I don't covet the LX570, but there's NO WAY I'd get rid of my 4Runner in classic silver metallic and Yokohama (so cool because so HARD to find) factory 20" wheels. So my question is....would I be an idiot to own both?? Lol. I know it's not practical but for the love of the similarities and disparities....

Then there's this GX which combines them both....

I own both a 1997 white 4runner Limited with brown interior and a 2018 LX570. The 4runner has more than 350,000+ trouble free miles and everything mechanical and electrical is still original. Unbelievable!! The 4Runner is long paid off and it makes a great beater SUV for hauling a utility trailer, parking at Walmart ;-), and leaving at airport for extended parking. So it's very practical to keep and maintain Toyotas because in the long run they will pay for themselves.

Noypi54494 I know exactly what you mean...those 96-99 two tone limiteds were solid. I had the same ‘99 white one, 4x4 with the silver body kit, beige leather...it had a factory steel rear wind deflector on top of the tailgate, more wood in the interior, and those Toyota Limited alloy rims are still sick today. That trim really was a Lexus back then. The 4x4 Limited was HEAVY though. The engine had really smooth throttle response and it was just a beautiful time for the 4Runner. I’m not sure who owns it today, but I suspect someone is nursing that beauty today...That particular set up, LOADED to the maxwas a pretty rare sight on the road back then in the US. It was $35k back in 1999....

It's actual full time 4 wheel drive

@@marshish83 that's what AWD stands for

@@Cream5oda09 nah different things Playboy. 4x4 = locking differentials (tractor), AWD = all wheels driving, no diff locks.

Going trade in my 2013 x5. If you read this how is the dealer because Bmw is expensive as you know what

Depends what trim you compare it to. The luxury is more capable than the standard 4runner but not the trd pro. With the mods its likely better with the crawl control and more torque and center lock.

MJ it’s not the same engine, you are talking about the 5.7l,m that is in the lx570 full-size , the GX uses the the 4.6L from the Lexus LS460 minus the direct injection in the LS.

Questtt3 yes you will have more than enough room

I'm 6'4" and have ample headroom in my '13 GX. Don't believe the published headroom numbers, go sit in one.

LiquidSm0ke ...Thank you very much for your reply...this is very reassuring!.

Questtt3 you are certainly welcome !

Ernst Heidegger Thank you so much...I really appreciate your help. The fact that you are also the same height gives me greater assurance. If I could also ask, are you happy with your GX? I like the GX and the LX. Trying to decide between a 2015ish GX or 2013ish LX as my daily driver and family car (2 kids and 65# Labrador). Wondering if GX is better size wise in the City (work...parking)...or if it really matters as both considered “oversized”. Same time wondering if LX would provide that much more practical room. Bottom line...between a slightly older LX or slightly newer GX, if you had it to do over...or given my situation described... which would you choose/recommend? Thank you!

Gotta love Toyota reliability

You mean older right?....

It's not much higher. It within 5-8k of each other

But leasing is different because you pay for depreciation, which the gx lacks

I disagree. Biturbo will not last a million miles.

Please elaborate brother because I am very interested in that vehicle.

By replacing the chip you can easily get 50 hp and torque. And even better milage. I personally would not because this setting is what has proven to work.

Center locking and yes it has crawl control. Definitely an overlanding vehicle. I've taken mine places that people were turning back on atv's!

Blake O the purpose of the suv is off roading, not entertainment lol ..... get an x5 bmw then

Who cares. I get in it. I drive it. The sound system is fantastic. The infotainment is reliable and easy to use. It has tons of features. Works very well with android. Speech command is very good. I would not change it but there are many after market tablet style replacements.

Cars are for driving... the navigation works fine

The Lexus will be more comfortable still, but a Limited 4Runner is certainly a nice machine

Here's a review of the 4Runner: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PtetH9oxkQU.html Limited would ride better than the TRD Pro we had on the channel

The Hooniverse thanks. Love your content.

They share the same chassis

Not really

It is? How so? Its the same toyota tundra engine that lasts over 1 million miles. Nonsense. V8 on the sedans are high maintenance because there is no space to work on them.

More power would just make it harder to maintain traction. I never feel like I'm slipping much. Even on rocks and mud

I test drove it and the power will shock u like I used to think the same way , 301hp only ! But man it jumps , the o my thing stopping me from getting one is a full test drive to see if it matches my driving patterns, I love cornering fast and this one is not made for this !

Aidan Wallington me too... but I’m thinking of doing a 2 inch lift with 35s

buff samurai fred I want to do that sometime but I have other things I need to fix on it first :(

@@aidanwallington9718 yup true that, I've seen ppl swapping in ls3 and supercharging them for more power. They are very capable suvs never the less

@@Bada_Boom78 the 470 comes equipped with air suspension along with ride setting from soft comfort and sports, each setting sets the stiffness accordingly

@@Bada_Boom78 it depends on how rough the pavement is, the gx470 is more than capable to handle most rough road conditions, but if you wish to go the extra mile, then getting suspension upgrades, bigger off road tires, winch and all that good stuff.

Sad but true

So true

Not yet i want it to build up milage first. Lol

That's true. How much do you estimate the cost to replace the hydraulics?

Not this one. But its not that bad at all.

this car has nothing to do with the sequoia. Other countries though this is called the “Land Cruiser Prado” 150 platform. Previous platform is the 120, which shares platforms with the 4Runner and FJ cruiser.

How mach car

I like this car i want this car plias call my 00971556852767 this whatsApp nambiar

That us why you buy it used. You can easily purchase a 2014 for $30k now.

Secondary air injection can be fixed with a bypass kit for under $400. Air suspension can be converted to coils for under $300 and still rides great. My dash was replaced for free...not really that expensive if you know what you're working with.

and are you saying that to only GX and 4Runner or......atleast they don't have to change there engine or transmission ever month like Mercedes do or BMW. Sure they have those problems , yeah we know no car will last forever, but these issues are only easy to fix are not that expensive unlike BMW fixings.

Depends who you are. I love the barn door style over the lift style

Same. Have to play the RU-vid game or no one sees the video unfortunately

Which one do you recommend?

Both are very reliable but for sure Lexus gx as it has v8 engine

Rxonmymind this suv is a joke because it’s hard to get to the 3rd row? Are you just now hitting puberty and you want to get away from mommy? Sit up front like a big boy and don’t comment stupid shit

@@hipporage18 Whoa. Check yourself. No need for personal attacks and mommy references or people's puberty. Stay on point and make your argument good or bad on the vehicle. I've owned Toyota & Lexus vehicles all my life. Currently have a Lexus RX350 & IS350c. I've researched them extensively and have made many trips to the dealership looking to upgrade my RX 350. My natural inclination will be the GX 460. I don't know your age but keep in mind there is a certain demographic that does not want to climb over second row seats to get to the third nor have our friends or family do so. $60,000 and you want me to climb over a seat to get to another? My family too? A simple fix to this would have been for Lexus to make the second row seats flip up or make captains chairs available so one can go down the center. This is available in the Toyota Sienna and the Toyota Sequoia. For YEARS. So my next choice... let's go look at the Lexus RX 350 XL. That's a joke too. $54,000 one can't even sit in the third row seats. Period. You literally can't pull the second row of seats back to lock it into position. $54k. Keep in mind my wife's IS350 convertible had MORE room in the back seat than that Lexus XL. I fit very comfortable back there. Unbelievable. I don't know who's in charge of Lexus but it seems pretty obvious that the people who make the 460 arer in a different department than those who make the 570 and the Toyota Land Cruiser. I think the same people who made the 460 made the 350 XL three seater. If I had to have a vehicle it would be the Toyota Sequoia as it comes with captains chairs and at 5'10"Ingress and egress was easy to get back to the 3rd row & my knees had ample room in the third row seats while I had about four fingers of headroom. Nice. Unfortunately, that dated center console is about 10 plus years old. I don't need nor do I want the top of the line Lexus or Toyota SUV as the depreciation cost on both suck after 3 years. Have a great rest of the week. Cheers.

Stop your crying rx, the 460 is nice truck and if ur a nit picker you;ll always find a fault with a vehicle

@@rxonmymind8362 then get a mini van

It's actually more of a truck than most new "trucks"

its based off a truck and can probably handle more than a truck

Lol. 8.1 because of grill and running boards. Did you just compare it to a forester? It is a land cruiser prado proven world wide as an excellent off roader. This car is better than the 4runner. Remove running boards and place a front bumper and suddenly its close to 10 inch. Wow. Than u give it a little lift 2 inch and its a beast with all terrain tires. It will eat jeep for breakfast. And you are a troll.
