The Lexus GX is an Iconic SUV. Should you buy it in 2022? Let's find out

The Lexus GX460 is officially the oldest Lexus model sold in the US after the Lexus LX got updated for 2022. So is the oldest Lexus Truck worth buying in 2022?

The Lexus GX, The Toyota Prado and The Toyota 4Runner are iconic names in the truck world. These are the kind of trucks that are build in a different era where trucks were made like tanks.

In this video we'll take a full tour of the 2022 Lexus GX. A True Legend!

We'll start with an introduction to the Lexus GX's brothers.

Then we'll go into a Technical review of the Lexus GX to see what makes it one of the most reliable trucks if not THE most reliable truck to come out of Toyota\Lexus land.

Then We'll take a look at the exterior and the interior of the Lexus GX.

Lastly I will share with you some things I don't like about the Lexus GX and my thoughts on it.

When I worked in Afghanistan I had to on many occasions drive from Kabul to Bagram at breakneck speeds, over huge potholes, on and off the dirt on both sides of the road. In other words Fast and hard. Occasionally I had the pleasure of driving the Lexus GX. It was the ultimate vehicle for that kind of crazy driving because it felt the most confident, it handled, it didnt throw passengers around as much, smooth quiet, awesome real world tough as nails 4x4.

My wife's '09 GX is about to hit 215, 000 miles and still drives extremely solid and smooth. It's our favorite car we've ever had.

Several years ago bought a 2010
, added 30, 000 miles, in this cray market sold at purchase price, now own an LX. Love this guy!

Whoever is doing the filming in these videos, needs a raise. I love how all the angles are shown and the smoothness between one take and another!❤️

I've been waiting for this review! I just bought a 2022 and I can't believe how much I'm enjoying driving it. I wasn't convinced I was making the right decision for me but as it turns out it was the best decision I could have made. Just an all around amazing truck.

We just got a ‘23 and LOVE it. Yes, the mileage is poor, but when you understand the mechanics of that engine’s injection system, combined with the weight and the transfer box, you understand. I had an Expedition with 3rd row seats that were used ONCE in 12 years. You just don’t need them very often. The GX’s “3rd row” is better described as a well-designed cargo area with an emergency 3rd row.

Just picked up the GX 460 less than two weeks ago. I retired and don’t drive as much as I used to. That’s probably why I’m still on my dealer tank of gas. I have to say it all it rides and drives like a dream. I got it in atomic silver.

I am in the market for 2023 and I can say that this guy went on explaining much better the concerns I had (mechanically of course) than the sales person at Lexus dealer. I know sales people are not well trained in the mechanic aspect of the vehicles but common sense questions they should be.
Thank you for the detailed information and honest review especially on the mpg.

We purchased a ‘23 GX Starfire Pearl with Roya Red interior in the premium plus package. We love it. I hear so many complaints about how it's outdated inside and out. It had enough tech for my wife and me, and we are in our 40s, but we do not have small kids; they are grown now. It turns heads and commands respect.

[darabu.julhaz]

this is the best technical review on YouTube for Lexus GX for sure 👍

I own a 2011 GX in tungsten pearl color. I bought it being familiar overseas with the Prado. Not much has changed with the 2022 besides aesthetics. Love your videos and thank you!

Our family bought a 2012 gx 460 about a year ago with only 75k on the odometer. This truck is amazingly solid and reliable. It LOVES to be driven and feels fantastic at 80+ mph. The manual downshift option is SO helpful in serious mountain driving. It may be one of the most reliable cars ever made. The mileage is terrible but we have a prius too so it all balances out.

Great review! Love my 2017 GX, that blackout package does look great though. Don't know why I watch reviews about a car I already own and love, maybe I just love it that much? Thanks!

[timothyjones]

Bought our 2021 GX460 for road trips to Scottsdale from CDA in North Idaho. Typically get around 22mpg at 80mph. It’s so smooth and quiet…❤❤❤❤

[landcruiser]

Thanks for reviewing the GX. I love my 2017. It’s such a great, quality vehicle. Just make sure you treat the undercarriage with fluid film or something similar to avoid rust. I live in the Chicago area and that’s the one weakness with all the salt.

[trapbn]

Solid review. I wanted a Grand Cherokee Summit and got a better deal on my 2020 GX. I relocated from the city and now live on a Ranch. You can’t really appreciate this vehicle if you only hit Starbucks drive thru. It is a beast that can tackle mud, hills, and whatever you throw at it. You can then rinse it off and show up at that 5 star restaurant ( which are atleast 3 hours away from me). Bottom line this is arguably the most versatile, affordable luxury off roader with a V8 on the market. Gas is terrible but it rides like a dream.

Your review guided me after selling my 19’ 4Runner TRD OR to a 16’ GX460 Luxury w/ Crawl Control. I am happier and more comfortable but still allowing me to go where i want safely. Thank you

[superchamp]

08 GX470 owner here what ever he said is correct. 225K miles on odometer and still runs like brand new. everything works. Personally i prefer 470 over 460 based on exterior looks, but damn 460 is real nice inside.

[daniellef]

Love that you loved it enough to get it for your wife❤️. Got our 2022 based on this review. Had Audis for years, and although we loved them, maintenance costs were a drag.

[garyhaynes]

Spot on review! Just 2 weeks ago I traded my 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLE450 4Matic for a brand new 2023 Lexus GX460, the LAST ONE my dealer had and I absolutely love the GX… one of the best decisions I’ve ever made buying a vehicle. Thank you for this review, it makes me feel even better about my decision!
