Probably one of my favorite videos you’ve done in some time. Good job, fellas.

Hmmm, the Carly app didn't find anything wrong with the BMW. The vehicle is obviously too new, or the app is defective!

Just bought a 16 gx460 premium for all the reasons you said and then some. Little lift, tires and protection, this rig will go anywhere. And forever. No regrets!

Nice! More GX content! I will say though, you guys again didn't mention ATRAC or KDSS which is standard on the GX and you can also get a new GX starting in the low to mid $50, 000 range without the air suspension which is more ideal for those planning to lift.

If your OBD2 scanner can’t find a problem with a BMW, that means you need a new OBD2 scanner.

Tommy and Andre are making the best videos on TFL. They seem to have the best connection when talking cars/trucks. Great job guys.

Owned both, and both are great rigs. Currently I have the gx460, and it’s the better platform for overlanding IMO: better fuel range, tidier dimensions, still plenty of power.

Im in love with my 2020 gx460 .its just amazing in every way

I love my gx460. I have a 2011 that I take off-road often. A little taller all terrain tire, trimmed front bumper, and removed the running boards. That’s all the mods you need for most trails. A rear locker would be nice tho.

I love the GX, I hope on the next face lift Lexus fully embraces that this is a true off road capable SUV and gets rid of the mall crawler front end to give it a better approach angle. Their GXOR concept is just on point with the direction this SUV should go. It's a really really good value even brand new with it starting right around $50k, while it's still a lot of money, this is what an Explorer or Grand Cherokee is running for and their is just way better capability and dependability with the GX.

I’ve been looking at gx460s all last week. I’ll take this as a sign from God.

Man, you guys should see the stuff I have taken my GX470 up out here in CO. I did lead king basin loop and lake como road in mine, among others. It's a beast. Had a guy in our group with a wrangler stop, get out and jump in with me because he didn't think his was up to snuff. He had lame tires.

I own an LX 570, and I was just asking myself this very same question the other day. Its almost like your video was posted as I asked the question. Great video!!

[TubeNicho]

I have a 3" lift and Rock Sliders on my 2011. Best vehicle decision I ever made. Lots of easy use soccer mom mobiles out there used for cheap.

[arthurdent]

Great I love the Landcruiser but @ $85K that's a lot of dough, but the Lexus GX-460 is almost $20K a lot of MODS. It's great to live in the golden age of offroad 4X4 many choices.

[rafaeljavier]

I am on my 2nd Lexus GX 460. My great dane loves it also.

[AUavr]

Awesome content guys! I was between these two vehicles a month ago to replace my beloved 5th gen 4Runner (needed a 3rd row). I ended up with the GX460 and love it! Amazing Lexus build quality and that sweet 4.6L v8 I would have killed to have in my 4Runner. In this day of overly complicated vehicles the GX is the perfect solution for someone seeking luxury, but also a reliable off-road beast. Tuxedo on the street and beast off-road. Thank you Toyota/Lexus!

Just bought a 2018 GX 460 Premium with 40k miles for $35k. Added 3 inch Dobinson's MRR lift with SPC UCA's and Method wheels wrapped in Wildpeak 285/70r/17 and RSG angled rock sliders. About 6k in upgrades and she's the ultimate Starbucks/Mall Crawler and also able to go off grid ;)

I have a stock 2003 GX470, if you aren’t doing rock crawling or Moab or stuff of that nature just deep ruts, a couple wheels off the ground here and there, snow, mud etc etc that type of stuff it’s a great SUV with a very comfortable quiet interior, I’ve been considering the new GX460 but my 470 just passed 100k miles and it’s still going strong. That traction control figures out the wheels off the ground thing pretty good.
