Driving the 2023 Lexus GX460 from Buffalo, NY to Boston, MA is not a cross country road trip, but it is 6-7 hours. That's about the maximum time most people will spend behind the wheel at a time so let's see how it feels during and after.

I'm so sorry your first Tim Hortons coffee is now instead of 15+ years ago when they actually made real coffee with real in-house baked goods. I'd describe Timmies coffee today as burnt water but even that's being generous.

Ok, important stuff first. If you're judging coffee 200 miles in, you're out of order. All coffee sucks 200 miles in. Influenced in part by your initial ownership video, we pulled the trigger on a GX for my wife. She's five-weeks and just over 1,100 miles into the experience. She's ecstatic, and I love it too. Ride quality is too good to be true, the lack of noise is amazing, and the driving experience is remarkably pleasant. Fortunately no drivetrain vibes on ours, and I hope the same for yours. P.S. I did think I'd miss the Mark Levinson, but the standard audio rig is perfectly sufficient.

Ahh yes, like me you love the GX 460 so much that even the track pad makes sense. I love the cruise control stalk. And I like that you can double-tap the touch pad to make selections. Talk about some relaxed cruising, set the speed on 65-75 and just melt away in comfort! And yes everyone screams about the fuel economy of the GX but the newer turbo engines aren't great. A bit better, but still not great and with added complexity. To be sure the GX550 will be a good vehicle but for 2023, I'll take the proven 460.

22 Year Canadian here. Tim's over here is considered budget coffee at best. It's the McDonalds of coffee (fast, cheap, convenient). The only really good thing on the menu are the Iced Capps, and some of the specialty donuts. No one in Canada goes over to Tim's for really good coffee. So you're not wrong in saying it isn't for you. You should definitely give the Ice Capps a try cause they're genuinely really good.

Put a good Ceramic coating on that truck if you bought it. Have it professionally installed by a reputable auto detailer. I have a coating on my gx, and it will keep the paint looking near showroom with minimal washing or maintenance. I get my truck handwashed 2-3 yearly, and it looks brand new every time. I promise you won't regret it.

Only issue I have had is my tire pressure sensor appeared on my dash, all 4 of my tires had 32 PSI... come to find out... the spare tire was low on air... not a bad sensor... Sure gas mileage sucks but honestly highway isn't terrible as I get about 19-20mpg.. GREAT car

I agree with you about the 4Runner. I had a 17 TRD PRO. It was great around town, amazing off-road, and intolerable on long highway trips. Seats were uncomfortable and it was underpowered. Now I have a 23 Nori Green GX460 Blackline Edition. I also have a 19 Tundra TRD PRO and mostly use that for long highway trips and it is great for that. I look forward to trying some long road trips in the GX but I doubt I will like it as much as the Tundra because the Tundra has more power, space, and easier to keep it straight on the highway without corrections. BTW, put some BFG KO2s on your GX.
@username8644
@username8644 7 ай бұрын
It's definitely under powered, but for the entire eastern United states it's perfectly fine since the highway speeds are so much slower and there aren't consistently large mountain passes to go over. In the western US, yes it struggles a bit to drive up some big mountain passes at 70mph+, and the off-road suspension makes the handling a little bit scary when you are going downhill fast on the pass and there is only a single lane with no shoulder (as is often the case in those places due to roadwork). Other than that it's perfectly fine. Setting the cruise control fixes a lot of the power issues since it'll modulate the throttle for you, the power is there it's just hard to get the right gear since it's an automatic and it won't like to downshift when needed. The seats are perfectly fine though, the 4runner is a comfortable vehicle. Edit: I'm speaking for the TRD pro as well. To call it intolerable on road trips is just really misleading and false. I've done 2000 mile road trips with it, with the vehicle fully loaded, and it's always been perfectly fine and a comfortable vehicle. Road noise is pretty solid as well, which is really what matters.

So sad to hear about your key fob and drivetrain problems. Hope this third car brings you happiness and lots of joy! I have owned a LC150 myself. Drove it about 60,000 miles and only had one recurring issue: it totally guzzled brake rotors. The dealer admitted the rotors were not really designed for the car - strange. As for fuel consumption I never really got more than 18 mpg from it despite where and how I drov it - and then it was a Euro spec 3.0 diesel with 190 hp. Think you are getting decent figures for a big V8.

Cruise control stalks are so much better than buttons. Audi uses a stalk, and when I went to a BMW, having to hunt around on the steering wheel for the CC buttons just felt dangerous.

It was pretty desolate 35 years ago but it's heading back to being the place to go and hang out down by the waterfront, yeah it still gets dumped with snow but no crazy wildfires or hurricanes . Buffalo will endure.

That’s the same exact cruise control stock that was in my ‘98 GS400. Just shows that Toyota/Lexus are firm believers of “If it ain’t broke don’t fix it”

I use the cruise control stock as an example of Toyota products are so reliable to anyone asking why I bought one. If they can use the same part in a Lexus 20 years ago and it worked perfectly, why would they change it?

Hey Tedward, out of all the cars/trucks I can think of I think it would be an interesting video if you discussed what brought you to the decision of buying GX460 over other SUV's that have similar tech and/or better fuel economy and similar tech. Love the vids, always love seeing your name in my feed and its always a good morning when I do :)

Canadian here, I would strongly suggest you to visit a Tim Hortons in Canada. The experience is very different from the locations in US and the coffee we have it better and cheaper. I've visited many timmies locations in US, but none have stood up to the Canadian standards.

That feeling you're getting in the brakes, where you're not touching the brakes for a while, I bet the pads just move away from the rotor enough that you got some play before they touch the rotor. Probably for fuel economy to reduce as much drag as possible. I bet Lexus as the triangle shaped wires that push the pads away from the rotor.

19:57 Syracuse resident here - those rest stops are highly controversial. When they were first updated last year, they were very small compared to the Adirondack cabin-style structure before. They expanded them after getting a ton of complaints. Also - who the heck decided that Chick-fil-A was a good rest stop restaurant? They're closed on Sundays!

The GX may be outdated as hell but that doesn't dispute the fact that Lexus knows how to do classic luxury.
