2020 Lexus GX 460 | A LOVE-HATE Relationship

After spending a week with the refreshed 2020 Lexus GX, I've developed a love-hate relationship with it. It's a beefy body on frame luxury vehicle that despite recent refreshments, remains outdated for it's price. That's part of why I like it though! Overall I really enjoyed my time with it and think it's an awesome vehicle but only if you're not looking for the latest hi-tech and sophisticated interior that some luxury SUVs offer. This Lexus GX Sport Design is for the traditional luxury buyer with capability in mind.

Full 2020 Lexus GX 460 review coming soon!

Have had my 2020 (in Atomic Silver) for 3 weeks and absolutely love the old school sturdiness blended perfectly with luxury that suits its overall persona very nicely.

[spencermunson]

The engine is “underpowered” in order for this thing to surpass 500k miles with ease

[KARLPAGLIACCI]

Great video! Very informative. Thanks and keep up the great work!

The GX is the most bang for buck for a Lexus, and for a super capable SUV. With that said, I really wanted the 2020 to have the updated infotainment you mentioned, and I’d like adjustable length seats for the ass part like the ES has when you pony up a few dollars extra for that option. I’d like the eco, normal, and sport mode to take care of the sleepy accelerator pedal. Everything else I could care less about. It truly is perfect. So The LS 460 has a port and direct injection system and different tuning to give it the extra 80 horsepower. I feel if they do ANYTHING to this 4.6L it will take away its reliability. It will last 500, 000+ with proper maintenance the way it is. I know Lexus will take care of these issues. Once they do, I will be purchasing one that day. I simply can’t spend mid 50s on a 2020 with the outdated stuff you mentioned. Still considering a mint condition GX 470, or if I can find a one owner accident free GX 460 that will be OK too. These things hold their value and that’s awesome and says a lot about it.

The LS460 got direct and port injection which increased horsepower, not sure why they didn’t offer it for the GX

It's a decent truck with good off-road capability, but for 99% of the time I'll be commuting on the freeway and use it for weekend Costco trips.  Can't justify myself buying a body-on-frame SUV for that 1% off-road use.  Ended up buying an Acura MDX.  It serves my purpose.

[DriveAndBeDriven]

Excellent video, Nolan! I 100% agree with your likes and dislikes. That infotainment system definitely needs to go.

I really like the sport appreciate package on this model, but not so much the "non-sportified" model... It reminds me too much of it's Toyota counterpart.

Keep these videos coming! GREAT WORK!

When I First Saw The Design Before This Refresh I Didn’t Like It But Now I Like It Great Review

[damienhealy]

I bought a 2021 one of these with low mileage. Its the Premium sport pack so it has the 19" rims but mine doesnt have the adjustable suspension or rear air bags. I actually find the ride kind of rough and I feel like a lot of the road imperfections are transmitted into the vehicle. I read a lot about these being silky smooth and glide over rough surface. Not what I'm experiencing. (Tires are at correct pressure). Any other owners feel this way?

[chrishasley]

Wow that infotainment screen... yeah major loss on that one. I like the red interior though! Sorta reminds me of your Camry review with the red interior. Seems the Toyotas and Lexus vehicles don't offer much headroom (or I'm just tall - not sure which). Keep up the great vids!

I love my 2017 GX. It is the smoothest most capable family SUV.

[slawek]

I had one 2019 three monts, I wasn't happy, specially hvy traffic stop and go.Bought 2020 rx 350, allot better for city daily driving, more comfortable too.

[atlant]

i feel your pain i have 2014 and 3 kids its so small for me. I am looking to change it to ESV or NAVIGATOR L version

[arislopes]

I’ve personally driven and taken road trips in 2018 Prado in Costa Rica and the overall interior feels more roomy than a the GX. the prado is more spartan both in the interior and exterior than the GX. It actually felt more like a 4runner with a Diesel engine rather than a GX, I think Is because the prado is more of a main stream SUV and not a full on luxury like the GX the ride was also somewhat rough

[MusicLuv]

GX is good but fact is that Lexus sales has drop a lot that just shows people are tired of the same old models.

[ruiwu]

That’s why I love sequoia so much, just for the huge space . I do like the performance Lexus have . Buy compare everything, I prefer sequoia for home use .

[TCinSoCal]

Does anyone know how much the Sport package affects approach angle?

[achilles]

Drove trd 4runner and new 460. I will take the 4runner and put savings towards a tundra with what ill save.
