Obsessed

Bought a 1 owner GX460 after owning an RX350 for 14 years and 245,000 miles. I LOVED that car. The GX is perfect for my growing family and a little bigger for all of the excess a toddler has in baggage. Will always buy Lexus. Reliability beyond compare!!

Captain Seats are a bust

This is my 4th Lexus 460 GX. It seems smaller and there no point using the 3rd row no leg room. What I don't like especially is that you can view everything in your cargo area between the Captain seats. There's no cargo or tonneau cover to hide the cargo. I bought a piece of carpet to hide what could be seen and it continues to fall down.

What Is the 2021 Lexus GX 460?

The Lexus GX 460 is a three-row mid-size luxury SUV that seats up to seven and slots between the brand’s RX and full-size LX SUVs. A more luxurious counterpart to the Toyota 4Runner, the GX 460 uses a body-on-frame platform and is powered by a standard 301-horsepower, 4.6-liter V-8 engine that pairs with a six-speed automatic transmission. Four-wheel drive is standard. Competitors include the BMW X5 and Audi Q7
