- The GX 460 is ready for what ever you can throw at it and Lexus made a couple changes. On the outside you will find a new paint color for 2023, 18in wheels, and running boards. On the inside there is a full leather interior, 12.3in infotainment system and sunroof. Under the hood is a V8 301HP and bolted t0 a 6-speed automatic transmission. Is the 2023 Lexus GX 460 the BEST new midsize luxury SUV to buy?

Everyone knows the GX is on the TOP of consumer reports list for the most reliable vehicle ever.
We just bought a ‘23 460 and LOVE it.
Re: 18” wheels: This platform was born as a military vehicle. That’s why it’s bulletproof and is modified and used by many off-roaders. They are foolish to criticize 18”, and even more foolish to think of taking anything larger off road.
Re: Mileage: We get 20-22 on the highway. When you take the very high resale value, you will eventually get a lot of the “guzzled” gas money back.
Get a ‘22 or ‘23 now, for their residual value should stay high. Why?…because the new generation ‘24 gets only 1 mpg better, but only offers the Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (KDSS) in a new electronic form in only select models. The tried and proven earlier KDSS is standard on all levels, ‘23 and older.
Don’t “zonk” too much here. Remember, the Japanese philosophy is to achieve perfection over time, not tack on every gizmo that every other competitor has every years. Knowing that ‘23 is the last year for the V8 and this whole generation, they aren’t going to change a bunch of mechanical stuff
Nice I have a honda pilot😢😢😢😢
"This this is so outdated"

@@hevinamber here’s the update, got the sport back, drove it another week but it lacked power…replaced it with a Santorini Black 2020 Range Rover Supercharged…been flawless and has warranty🙂↔️
@@RedPillBroadcast is that a good thing sweetheart? If so then congratulations!🧡
The GX460 being a 150-series Land Cruiser will outlast your Bronco, Wrangler and Defender combined!
Truth will set you free!!
All newer cars not an old car asking for new money.
Facts!!!
@@XX-166 let’s call it a new old car. Nonetheless it won’t be an old car needing new parts.
@@justinh8959 it’ll just be branded as a new car and old in the sheets with a new car price and unattractive like the old one.
Own a 2011 and literally at 204,331 with no problems but tires, oil changes and brakes. Still riding smooth trouble free.
This is the most reliable vehicle on the planet. Buy this, and easily get 300k of maintenance-free driving. This will be the last year with the bullet-proof V-8 engine. If you're looking to buy one, get one NOW! I'm considering trading my RX 450H in for one of these gems. Exceptional review as always!
Everyone knows these are really dated but they still sell well and will last you forever with basic maintenance
The bulbs make it look cheap
@@slighce if that's your biggest complaint then it's really just a backhanded compliment, lol
Yessir 💯
@@sly9263 there are so many aftermarket accessories for Toyota/Lexus models. Who cares what the car comes with. Make it unique and make it your own. That’s what 75% of 4Runner owners do. And this is basically a V8 4Runner.
they need more modern tail lights, shit looks like any other generation of GXs
i love the old school feel, thats why i own a 2022 GX
Not feeling it in 2024
@@slighce the new LX600 is somewhat of a design mess (especially the center console area), so I don't have high expectations for the next gen 2024-25 GX500. It'll probably get a rattley, small displacement turbo, despite ironically having it's name incremented to "500" over the 460 that refers to the current V8's capacity. The new GX will wind up being slightly more reliable than BMW or Mercedes but nowhere near the margin that it used to have. The biggest leg up for Lexus at that point is that their interiors are generally higher quality and wear much better than their German peers. Most BMW and Mercedes interiors look like shit in a few years- buttons wear off, steering wheels delaminate, seats crease and flake... list goes on.
NA v8 for life
@@slighce Do you own or test drove one?
@@sly9263 That is why I am not sure about the upcoming redesign. But fingers crossed
I've owned multiple Lexus vehicles and they are by far the best vehicles I've ever owned by a wide margin. This is from the perspective of use as a daily driver only and no track use. The mechanicals are old but honed to perfection and the styling can be hit (current IS) or miss (this GX) but Toyota knows how to make a great premium vehicle. I'm a Lexus owner for life and will never switch to another brand...
Absolutely
I agree with you. I drive Toyota products only. I have an Avalon limited trim with 290k, Ls 460L with 210k, and a GX460 with 50k miles. All still running exceptionally strong with minimal maintenance.
@@Boldstep001 How is the ride of LS compared to the Avalon. Seeing a ton of good deals on Avalons out there, for obvious reasons.
@@onlyfoolriding8223 the Avalon rides pretty smoothly but of course, the LS is the king of smooth rides. The LS to me is in a different class completely. They are both wonderful vehicles.
@@Boldstep001 Does your LS have air suspension?
The answer is yes. Brought a black line edition back in Nov for my wife. We are all very happy with the purchase. Thanks for the detailed review!
In today's market, GX's a steal. High end RAV4 and highlanders are over 50K. Any decent domestic big SUV costs 80K at least. High 50Ks gets you V8+full time 4WD+KDSS+lexus quality.
I am SO glad that you mentioned that this is a spruced up 4-Runner. This is the exact reason I bought this vehicle bc I loved riding the 4-Runner when I rented it but realized it didnt have the bells and whistles I was looking for. The GX has more "get up and go" thanks to its 301 HP V8 and it is as SOLID to drive as the 4-Runner. I get a smile every time I open my garage to go for a ride in this beauty.
Except he is wrong. Its a rebadged Land Cruiser Prado, not a 4R.
Comparing this to a 4 runner is ignorant at best. Not even close.
@@willboege7078yup its a lc prado not 4 runner but us dont get prado so i can see why people will say 4runner rather than lc prado.
Body on frame, check.
KDSS, check.
NA V8, check.
Full-time 4WD, check.
Decent towing capacity, check.
Apple CarPlay, check.
Toyota reliability, check check.
Joe, I am glad that you were able to review this GX with the updated 10.25 infotainment system that is now finally a touchscreen. I was surprised when I heard this trim offered ventilated on top of the heated seats, and the fact that not all the lights are LED :/
I got the '22 GX, I was also blessed with 10"........of infotainment screen. I love how solid and powerful this vehicle is.
I’ve been in the wholesale car business for many years. Driven just about everything out there. There are many great alternatives to the GX. Especially if you like to trade every few years. Turbo engines have made great advancements for consumers who appreciate respectable fuel economy and better acceleration. Keep in mind the majority of these units will have more expensive maintenance costs over 70-80k miles.
But the GX has a build quality that is hard to replicate from most manufacturers. The drive, the interior feel, the way the doors close, the factory paint finish, the quality of the interior components etc are things most companies can’t replicate.
Like others have said resale value is great with these. Some of the best resale figures in the market consistently. Unlike several models that I’ve seen mentioned in the comments.
At the end of the day the beauty of the car market is all of the available options that we have. This current GX may not be what everyone is looking for. But I can assure you it’s a solid choice if you’re considering it for your next purchase.
Very good input and perspective!
Owned many Lexus and Toyota’s. All are still running. Current owner of a GX. By far the best SUV in the world. Off and on road.
"I have that one luxury japanese dinosaur"
This vehicle is one of my favorites. I don’t care how old most of it is. I actually prefer the older styled Toyota and Lexus vehicles plus they’ve proven to be pretty bulletproof. Especially that V8
Because its port injected. This and the 4 runner.
Great review as always joe 😄 small zonk for not showing off the rear glass hatch opening up
Built in a world class Toyota factory that wreaks of reliability.
I just bought a 2023 Lexus GX 460...I could not be happier. Love the way it drives. Gas mileage is not fun but that is OK by me. I test drove a Toyota 4 Runner TDR Pro and didn't like it much. I am so glad I drove a Lexus GX 460 because I was really surprised with the difference in driving and feel of the vehicle. Much more luxury, more than I would have thought. Get one! I am thinking they are going to mess up with the 2024 changes. We'll see.
The subtle jokes are what makes you the best car reviewer to watch & the ON THE THROTTLE parts
That means the world Trevor!
it’s CORRECT to think that this bear has a VERY SMOOTH HEAD. You must be thinking, “does he use Head And Shoulders Shine Plus?” That would be incorrect. The answer is a bear TRADE secret. ... PACK YOUR BAGS AT ONCE!!!!!
The 2022-23 GXs are the best to have. They are still old school reliable but now have the updated infotainment system with Carplay/Android Auto so you can get the best of both worlds.
My wife has this vehicle. It is built like a freight train! Old but reliable! We are considering a new one with a twin turbo V-6 or the NX on the next lease.
You’re right Joe ……full led on a Lexus! Still not a fan of front grille. I like my luxury understated, not LOUD. Thanks Joe! Saw a Nissan z in parking lot today…..looks awesome !
I recently bought a gx460 2023 and let me tell you that vehicle is amazing it handles like a sport car, its comfortable and it has all the updated infotainment screen, on gas is not great but its an amazing car!
It absolutely does NOT handle like a sportscar- no one with experience driving sportscars would ever say such an absurd thing (no offense). It does handle very well for a body on frame SUV though, for sure.
GX is one of my old-time favorites. I can't wait to see what the new redesigned GX is gonna look like.
it'll look great, with a scumbag drivetrain tho
Joe, I completely agree that all lighting on any Lexus should be LEDs.
Got mine 2 weeks ago and i love it! There is absolutely nothing I dislike. Love my truck!
You can call it a truck or you can call it a car, I simply call it a dream vehicle! Sold, smooth, quiet and powerful enough. A joy to drive every time and they will not be making the V8 anymore! Gas mileage is not the greatest but this is not my commuting vehicle for work either.
Love the color Joe!!! It pops!!! Hope you are having a blessed day 🙏
Picked mine up 3 weeks ago and I love it!!!
Raiti, I traded a 21 STI for this last year and have not a single regret. This is the best vehicle on the road.
That is so wonderful Chris! Thank you for taking the time to share that with us!
Good Video as always. Take care Joe. best Wishes.
It's a baby gargantua! That console is a bit clunky but you know that truck ain't going to break. Friday morning entertainment delivered, thanks guys!
Yes indeed. I was going to buy 2003 at the 2002 NYC AutoShow. When I was working for the security company there at the time.
Great vehicle 👌
The 2024 Lexus dubbed the GX550 will most likely be the smaller engine with forced induction/hybrid. Probably more horsepower and better mpg. But I promise that 4.6 V8 will be on the road longer.
@Raiti's Rides Joe..
When are you doing a review of Lexus RX 450h+ Phev been waiting for this for long men
LEDs are nice but expensive to replace. Im ok w the turn signals, back up light bulbs being old fashioned. If ya put Falken Wildpeaks on that thing it would be unstoppable
😆😆I love Raiti! The 10.1" double-entendre, the KFC bucket-hilarious! Keep'em coming!
love the GX. Hate that they haven’t upgraded the dashboard to digital screens yet, but the reliability and old fashioned volume knobs give it a “old man, old school” feel in a new vehicle.
Probably the most reliable vehicle to ever sit on the lot at Jaguar Land Rover St. Pete’s!
Guaranteed 300,000 mile buggy. This thing will dance religiously for 20+ years.
My fav part about this Mid-sized SUV, is the “trunk” door
Bought the 2023 GX460 and love everything about it except the fuel economy. I've owned many Lexus vehicles and have never had a problem--but my family has had many problems and bad experiences with other brands. Driving this car feels like driving a luxurious tank. My husband is 6' 4" and feel comfortable in the driver's seat. I'm 5' 2"ish and am comfortable as well. The technology and the safety features are very good, but the primary selling point for me is the GX reliability. The rugged look also appeals to me (I dislike the soft curvy cross-over look of many SUVs).
Have you had any problems with GX460 so far or the car is reliable as tank? I'm considering to buy it
Hey, Joe good review on the Lexus suv, I would like to see one in all black from front to rear, that would be nice, have you ever did a review on the Is 500 with a v8 engine.
He did. Multiple times too. Look it up.
good video Joe-this year we would have purchased a GX blackline but because you must use premium fuel we decided to purchase the 2022 RX 350-the last year of the V6 and it uses regular fuel
GX will run fine on 87
GX = truck
RX = car
Lexus = great reliable vehicles
Good thing you didn’t buy the 2023 RX. They are disgustingly ugly. Good purchase.
Miss my 2015 RX. Put A/T tires on it and took it for many off-road adventures in Colorado. Never had any issue with it despite my abuse over the years. Just handed it to my son and I’m now waiting for my new GX to arrive
@@rugged9769 thats awesome congrads on the new GX-its the last of the greats for real
Do they have remote start? From the video it didn’t appear to but not sure.
It looks like the middle row, middle seat can fold down on it's own like a little pass though. Is that true? Like for 4 passengers plus some snowboards/skis or something like that. I like that if it's true.
Just ordered a Black Line edition and it should arrive any day now. Test drove the new Sequoia and hated it. Love the build quality and ride quality of the GX. Looking forward to take the GX both on and off-road and have it lifted a few inches after the OEM tires are gone
If you don’t mind me asking What you hate about the new Sequoia? I’m thinking or trade my GX with the new Sequoia for more space.
What color did you go with? I just received a 2023 GX brochure and it's not showing Nori Green or the Black Line edition in it for some reason
Man I have a Question I've been considering the GX or the LX for a while so which one should I be going for cause our toyota highlander got stolen and we don't wanna be waiting for another 2 yrs to get a car so which SUV is the best value for your money??
@@everydayfun9531 gx is such a good value compared to lx. It's 70k cheaper and they are almost the same size. Lx has slightly bigger motor but for 70k extra how can you justify that. Go with gx save 70k and get the same capabilities
@@mohammedmaad1526 did you trade it in for sequioa? I'm debating between the two. Id love the space for my teen kids
I'm a Toyota Owner. and I'm very much confident. that Lexus will outlive most of the other brands out there. just getting used to that Toyota Reliability you can't beat that. and let us get real Panoramic roof is not as fun as people think it is. It is extra pieces of a mechanical moving part that requires more/ expensive maintenance in the future. a used vehicle buyer such as myself won't buy any brand with a Panoramic roof ain't worth it. all I care about is a solid reliable Vehicle that requires basic regular maintenance and you are good to go for years to come. Lexus and Toyota know how and take pride in doing so. that's why I'm a Loyal Toyota Products customer.
It will be interesting to see how it all pans out.
@@RaitisRides especially when it comes to the new 4 cylinder turbo that is concerning to be honest. Only time will tell.
I love it Joe and Lori and keep up the good work and I love the video 👍 💯💯💯
We can't do it without you!
I hands down will pick Lexus over any luxury brand. I’ve owned BMW X5 and they have let me down and cost me money to get things Fixed/Replaced. I should’ve gotten a Lexus before I got my BMW few years back
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this one Austin.
lol that was awesome when you just shoved that grass inside of the grill
Can't wait to watch this review. Hopefully you have an NX review too....😊
Can’t wait for the 2024 to come out and for you to do a video of it!
Excellent suv, hope they redesign like the RX350
Super job you two on the review!🎉
These are the best offroad. They are known as the Landcruiser Prado in the world market and simply the Landcruiser in Europe. The 4 runner is based on the GX460 not the other way around. TRD Pro lacks the 3rd/Center differential and fulltime 4WD and KDSS
I thought the TRD pro had KDSS but the Limited has fulltime 4WD... neither of the two being combined on 4runners though
@Sly TRD pro does not have kdss... TRD Off-Road has KDSS, pro does not. Limited has 3rd diff/fulltime 4wd.
@@LexusGX460-OFF-ROAD wow, I was mistaken for a very long time- thanks
Thanks for clarifying, a lot of people think the GX is a spruced up 4Runner, but it’s actually the other way around - the 4Runner is a “watered down” version of the Prado/GX
GREAT REVIEW ALWAYS! I must say tho that GTC4LUSSO in the background is FIRE & hopefully you're able to go ON THROTTLE with that Ferrari...
Oh just wait!
Great video Joe.
Have the 2019 premium. Most beautiful car ever. The sound system is awesome.
I purchased 2 of these before Lexus screws it up. Absolutely the best vehicle I’ve ever driven. Dated yes but smooth and solid, which I’ll take any day over the total garbage car companies are making today.
Nice Lexus GX class I love the way it looks it may not be the most modern modern SUV's but it works.
Agreed. I've read and heard many people putting down the appearance and never understood that because they always catch my eye, in a very good way!
Agreed 100% brother
@@kevinbreese5739 True true I understand why it's unredesigned but it's a dandy.
THE RIDE OF ALL RIDES JOE!🔥💜🖤🕊️
Actually is like a mix between the 4Runner and the Land Cruiser !!! Gorgeous !!!
Agreed, don’t need extra inches to go deep into the woods. Raiti’s Ride keeps it fun and informative.
Thanks for letting me share my car passion with you Jeff!
How many people here already own a GX and still look at GX videos?! I do!😂
I own a 2020 GX460 and 2014 Es350. The GX460 is my favorite one.
Big v8, body on frame, a CD player, and comfy!
This as a two row SUV is perfect! Just needs smaller wheels with some BF Goodrich all terrains and it's perfect!
yeah, its like I'm back in high school and heading to see American Pie at the multiplex...
Hey Joe I do think this GX is desperate need of a redesign. Similarly to what they did with the RX. They did a bang up job with that model. By the way Joe, we are coming up towards the end of the month, amd you know what that means? Live Q and A time!
WRONG. the trick is fine. Moop
@@ericB3444 DR Suess.. BOOP
The RX is horribly ugly and using a 4 cylinder engine. I’ll take the GX everyday, all day.
@@justinh8959 drive a pinto.
@@ericB3444 only if it could hit a Panda without a dent. You’d need a GX for that…
i love the old school feel
awesome review .... I love the interior....I have a Lexus and yeah they drink gas not a deal breaker
God I love the GX, Lexus is still Team Analog in some respects and I'm here for it. Nice review!
DEIM! Solid Rai Rai, Solid.
2:05 - Well, it looks like a 2023 Lexus GX and my 2010 car have something in common!
If you’re calling this a 4-runner, and it is a Landcruiser Prado, does that mean 4-runners and Prados r the same? I’m so confused
I brought one today! I ❤ it!
Wow, I was leaning for an MDX but I really like this one. A V8? That is awesome!
MDX has better driving performance but i prefer the GX because it is pretty solid, confortable, body on frame and full time 4wd. A beast in the snow.
I believe Lexus is coming out with GX550. GX460 will be done. Plenty used one will be available. This car is a tank and a pleasure to ride. I rode one with 254000 on the clock, rode like new. Lexus need to bring this same concept, BUT with inline 6 and 8 speed tranny with paddle shifter, if needed, using regular gas or hybrid. I will be inline to order one. I have to say, for around 63K new, regular model, good price for such a reliable truck. Lexus is killing the Germans, day after day.....period.
Hi Raiti: you have some of the best car reviews, even if suggesting to put the kids on the roof may not work for everyone...just joking. Your reviews are infectious...I ended up buying a GX460 2023 model. I really enjoy it. It actually drives better than my Audi...Thanks for the review.
For those of us who watch and subscribe to your channel, you should still display the third row seats even if you're disinterested in them. Thanks for the video.
Every car you review you say is this the new best midsize SUV what I want to know what is the best SUV to buy with my money and actually get some advice when it comes purchasing!
If it ain’t broke don’t fix it!! This design has lasted how long? And sold how many? It sells it self👌
You are so very right! It is built proof!
I really wish they would re-design the exterior but this is such a great car
Just Bought one!!… I Love It!
I’m still deciding between GX and RX for my next car.
The GX is cool, excellent review as always, but what is that black beauty in the background? I would gladly go into debt for that murdered out wagonista!
5:02 is the best moment for this video
Dealer manager: Did he just shove a piece of giant leaf into the grill?
i love this dude reviews, he is cracking me up lol...
I am so glad that I can share the laughs and the cars with you Alex!
It’s a Prado in a Tuxedo with a V8 and higher quality materials. Also quieter. It shares some of the 4Runner’s platform but superior in every way. This is what the 4Runner should have been but I guess they tried to keep the 4Runner cheaper.
I still love this SUV. I'd like to see the steering wheel full leather and the front grill to be just a little smaller. I don't care for too many bells and whistles so I would love it. To me, it is like the 4-Runner...I don't want to see them mess it up with a redesign. Too afraid they would make it look like everything else on the road...shorter and rounded off...which kills the look of an SUV.
This is so very true!
Sold 08 GX470 for a tesla.... a big mistake. Few days ago got 2017 white gx460 premium sports edition. Love it!!
These are so rad. Kind gives suburban housewife that sends kids to private school vibes but still rad.
Would go this gx vs the 21 lt tahoe????
Yes it is. I just bought one and thinking of buying two. Love them V8s
That's one pathetic Dinosaur V8 300 HP ,, LOL , LOL,, Yeah I love my V8 it drives slower then most V6's but she's a tiny bit louder. 0 to 60 in 8 seconds Grandma
Oh I bet!
330 torque
Iam trading in my 2020 F-150, with only 3800 miles , this summer on a Premium model GX can’t wait
Love it! It’s big but nimble. Hate it’s a v8 but that’s the only way to drive it.
Proud owner of a 2017 GX460. Owned a GX470 (2008) and loved it too (should have kept it). These things are bulletproof and Lexus service pampers my wife with a loaner or transport when she goes for maintenance!
You are so very right!
Nice job thank you! … I hope the 2024 model includes all your improvement ideas.
We will be finding out soon.
Hey Joe when ya gonna get your hands on a 23 Accord?
