The coolant valley leak, air suspension, and intake pump(if not cared for from previous owners), are all expensive repairs. Just because it’s a Toyota Prado with more features doesn’t mean it’s doesn’t cost more to repair, it definitely does.

As a fellow owner of a 2023 GX460 purchased only a few weeks before this was announced, your review was the only one I’ve been waiting for.

@gerardgunhouse397 Месяц назад

AMD What a breath of fresh air you provide the DIYers. Your candor and honesty in reviewing Toyota/Lexus vehicles along with your pragmatic maintenance instruction is the very best. After much thought and research I purchase two new GX460s in 2023 and I could not be happier with my decision. I never plan to off road these vehicles and knowing I purchased the final iteration of the 460 with all the updates incorporated into the last model was the key factor in my purchase decision. Over the years I have owned four Landcruisers (three 80 series and a 100 series) actually still own a 96' 80 series with 85K in showroom condition. I have always done all my own basic maintenance including fluid changes and brake/rotor replacements. Sadly, it appears the complexity of all newer generation auto design will make that more problematic going forward. Again, well done my friend and blessings to your and your family from Atlanta Georgia Cheers

@edmundcharles5278 23 дня назад

Yes, I made the same decision as well. The Lexus sales staff informed me that the 23 was the last year of the V8 and that the new GX 550 was going to have a very long wait list time and that could be up to a year or more! One test drive in the GX 460 sold me!! I loved the ride, the comfort and the plush interior. I was coming off an FJ Cruiser, so this GX was a big step up for me, I loved all the old school features and if I wanted power and acceleration I would have purchased a Lexus LC, an SUV is not a sports vehicle and the way traffic congestion is proceeding, going faster from on e stop light to another is stupid and inefficient.

I’m not convinced yet either. The other major concern that is already apparent is the cost of ownership will be significantly increased. Unless you can learn to work on these yourself, the amount of labor to work on this vs the 4.6 will make even “simple” jobs more expensive.

@unrealii Месяц назад

Totally agree with you on the interior. It lost that elegance/ opulence with the loss of woods, metals and the buttons compared to the prior model. Even the older gauge cluster feels nicer, while less informative. I own the Lexus TX and while it’s great, it doesn’t feel like the old school Lexus I remember

Concur. Lexus should have made a Luxury and a Trail version of the GX with corresponding levels of representative trims; instead, all the GX 550 models are basically the same in appearance and interior design offering gs.

@ClipsByMiles 23 дня назад

I couldn't disagree more. The older interiors feel incredibly dated, cheap, and garish. Glossy wood trim and chrome? No thanks. The sophisticated ruggedness of this new model is incredibly compelling.

The front bumper here is made in 3 parts so easier to replace and install winch. Not so in LCs and on and on the differences go on.

When you buy this thing the dealership will be pushing for that oil sludge creating ten thousand mile oil change. Those two turbos are cooled using the engine oil.

My Rubicon has a “flush” plug and I have differential skid plates. It happens quite often. Yes, too old for my Jeep, I’m seriously considering the Overtrail +.

@@jamesemanner9671 it's not detuned, just differently tuned (produces the same torque). I dont mind the premium fuel requirement, i think it can actually help keep egts down when throttle position and load are high.

I agree with you about the interior. The previous model's interior was more luxurious whereas the new model's is more austere.

Confirm the Lexus GX 550 from Kenya 🇰🇪 pretty good

@brendanreary9142 Месяц назад

Considering all of the mechanical improvements to the GX550, particularly the Overtrail, over the previous model I can forgive the interior being less “sophisticated”. I have never personally been a fan of Lexus wood trim, and the more utilitarian looking interior with nice materials is more my speed than the GX460. Considering the new Land Cruiser isn’t really any less expensive if you get any options and the GX is just better equipped for similar cost, I think the GX hits the nail on the head. If a buyer wants more luxury the LX600 is waiting, if they need a 3rd row and have no interest in off roading the TX is the answer. I think the GX being focused on all terrain use is a good spot, they might as well just make Overtrail the only trim as far as I’m concerned and offer it with or without a 3rd row.

The Land Cruiser is reported to be in the $50K range while the GX 550 can range up to $80K, so there is a big spread in price here! The bigger question s: why buy a GX 550 when you can get the 4Runner cheaper and not worry so much about denting up the more expensive GX?

hi, i love your channel. very,very informative. i've read online that some people drive their highlanders in SNOW mode all the time to get better gas mileage. is this possible and does it do any damage to the drivetrain like advanced wear or premature breakage? thank you for your time and keep the videos coming. take care.

Oh! You got one👏👏 Unfortunately doesn’t seem like the turbo motor will be as reliable as V8 GX460 over time. More that can brake it seems, but may be wrong. We will see, will definitely wait some years before taking a chance.

Don't have to wait, it's going to cost half the cost of the car for a repair in 10 years.

@ALMX5DP Месяц назад

@@UncleSarkis What is that based on? I have a turbocharged 2015 Ford and it's engine has been perfect now nearing 10 years of ownership. I think most people would suggest that a Toyota/Lexus product would be even more reliable than a Ford, so if ours has been fine dont you think this thing will go 150-200% further before anything emerges?

@@ALMX5DP very well said and excellent observation. This engine seems to have been purposely reconfigured and implemented to operate in a constant condition of very minimal stress which is always a strong indicator of longevity over time.

@theholt2ic219 Месяц назад

@@ALMX5DPnotice how there was no reply to your comment. Very possible to make a reliable turbo engine. People are acting as if it’s new technology or Toyota’s first turbo engine. Turbocharged engines is old school tech and has improved lots since the 80s/90s. Only one thing has to be said though is that basic maintenance is more important than ever and when something does need to be done on this specific engine it will cost more. But I wouldn’t worry if anyone knows how to make a good engine it’s Toyota

Regarding GX460: talk about the torque curve of the engine. That's what matters in towing also, Why this engine make so little power is because lower power in a larger engine reduces cylinder heat and pressure while increasing the duty cycle of the engine, That's why your low power GX460 can run at high BPM with no issue, The heads are large high port headsg and the lower aluminum intake has a tunnel ram design. All this for only 270 Lbs of torque, This is why this engine does not break. Regarding new GX550, it will be facing high temperatures in smaller block. Simple physics tells you that to move easily 2.5 tons, you need a bigger engine, not smaller. We shall see, but I doubt that this 550 have the same long-term reliability built in as an old 460 had.

I agree with you 100% but you also have to take into account that fact that Lexus 460 is ancient and since then times have changed. There is a lot of R&D going on in Toyota in terms of metallurgy on a daily basis. I also have my doubts about this new engine but am open minded. Perhaps they are using even more durable materials. After all back in the day an F1 engine was 3000 CC V10 and they were blowing up almost every race. These days they are 1.6 litre v6 and much much much reliable due to advancements in CFD metallurgy etc.

@TheWinwin4all Месяц назад

@fahedsayed2201 Up until 2 weeks ago I was so sure that I will get the new one, which I was waiting for for the last 3 years, that I missed the sale of the 23 460 in December-January, so I had to get the remaining 460 with the options I wanted in another state, which I happily purchased last week )). I am open minded and do believe in Toyota engineering department BUT... The whole concept of globalization is to reduce cost to the manufacturers and make people spend more on everything. They are pushing for the disposable things with less repairability or no repair options if possible, their moto is "you will own nothing and will be happy about it " Toyota must follow this path as well, unfortunately. The reliability and longevity is not number one goal anymore with no one.

@@TheWinwin4all You sound like a wise man. Congratulations on your new 460. To be brutally honest if i had to choose between a 460 or 550 i would also go for 460. But like i said we need time before passing final judgement on the new engine. You know i remember when hybrids came out everyone said ohh so complicated but now the 2.5 hybrid camry easily does 500k km without issues. I know this because i live in Dubai where many taxis are Camry hybrids and i often take feedback from the drivers.

@@fahedsayed2201 The main reason why I got 460 is that new 550 with it's huge lcd panel, lack of wood accents, cheaper looking interior and plain Toyota steering wheel has lost it's Lexus soul. 460 with it's push buttons and ambient real incandescent bulbs light has the warmth and comfort which the new 550 is absent from. I drove back home 14 hours , 8 hours during night time and I was able to turn off the small lcd panel and dimmed to the minimum the dashboard lights, just this makes the older design cars driving at night more enjoyable and stress free. All these new big lcd panels are the true distress to the eyes because of the constant frequency getting projected in to your eyes, even though you can't see it with naked eye.

@edmundcharles5278 23 дня назад

@@fahedsayed2201 So one would have to wait several years to get the feedback data on the GX 550, I could not wait this long and my Dad always told me not to buy a car in its introductory first year because inevitable issues are going to arise. I bought the 460 with these facts in mind, plus the GX 460 had many years of engineering under its belt.
