Me: This vid is a nice ad for Toytec. Hugo: _Absolutely!_

We bought a great GX470 used and trusted Anthony putting on a 3" lift, Icon wheels and 285/70/17 Wildpeak AT3W. We were nervous how it would turn out and it is awesome! Off road is amazing - can't wait to hit the trails this summer around Ouray/Telluride. Toy Tec is the way to go.

Absolutely, yeah

I’m just here to say “ absolutely”. Carry on.

Stop talking and take it out against the FJ and 4runner. GX460 best offroader Toyota has on the market atm.

What made the GX catch fire was when the off road market went up supply of 4runners for sale went down and people went looking for a replacement. People figured out you could side step the toyota tax on a 4r and get luxo features + v8 in a used GX. My gx470 took a bunch of CO and UT trails to include blackbear pass with just rock rails and 265/70r17 A/T. There are vids around of others with just tire climbing the escalator on hells revenge. I think the GX is a solid market replacement to the 4r.

I like this video series with Toytec learning about the possible mods with Toyota and Lexus. Love to see more GX, 4Runner, Tacoma, FJ, LC videos. Please keep it going..

Love how that upper arm just rubs on the stretched wiring...great attention to detail when you are advertising your business

GXOR gang wya? (14 premium modified for me)

That V8 rumble is priceless and becoming a rare commodity.

I hated both grills shown in the video until I bought a 22. It took about a week, now I like it. I think it is an acquired taste. I'll start thinking about off-roading it in about ten years.

GX’s have always been capable! Been stoked picking up mine with 90k miles, beats spending way more money on a newer 4Runner etc.

GX’s are just so well made and reliable. I’ve had two over the last 16 years and zero regrets. The only thing I can’t stand is the ever uglier front ends they keep “updating” on them

The older model front end is so much better looking ...

For the older GX, the 2nd start is in the steering wheel controls.

Prado owner here. Those tires don't rub because of the rim offset and uca. On stock, they'll rub 100%. Ask me how I know.

I'm surprised at the lack of knowledge of Toyotas V8 engines The 4.7 was in the previous gen GX and was part of the UZ family, the UZ was replaced by the UR

Absolutely

Could you please do a driving impression comparison to the new GX you have? I bet tons of people would love to know how much comfort and noise you give up to go to this mild setup. Might could help others convince the Mrs. to do some upgrades on their own family hauler. I have those tires on my Outback and they are super quiet.

The older one has 2nd gear start too it’s just in a steering wheel button menu, not a dash mounted button.

They actually all have 2nd Start, it's just a physical button on the latest model, on previous years before facelift, it's option from the steering wheel controls in the screen between the speedo and tach.

Tastefully done mods, nothing exaggerated.

Never liked their front grill but recently got 2014 GX ,same color , and I love it . Lifted looks really good . 👍

You know what I really like about the Prado that I wish I could do in my 4Runner? I really like the fact that if I am in 4Low, I can leave the center diff unlocked. This is highly useful because if I am visiting my friend at the top of a mountain (and yes, I do have a friend who lives in the mountains), if I have to go down a very steep windy mountain road, I can do so in low range, get the engine breaking so I don't have to ride my breaks down a mountain and overheat them, and at the same time by leaving the center diff unlocked, I don't have to worry about binding my drive train binding.

I own a 2015 GX identical to the one in the video (without the lift), and I can assure you despite what Toyota claims- these trucks suck at towing. My trout river skiff is only 1500lbs and the transmission does NOT like shifting up/down Northwest Arkansas hills.

It's really sad the US doesn't have the Toyota 70 series (Pickup, Suv and Troopy)

I prefer the front end of the grey GX to the red one. Especially the headlights.

Now do a GX470!

You can lift them even cheaper than that. My 2011 has about $500 in it for the front coilovers and washers for the air bag sensors. Rides great and the air bags auto level with trailers and our roof tip tent. Lift kits for FJs and the latest 4Runners bolt on with no modifications but the factory air ride setup works great up to 2" of lift

I am pretty sure the GX and 4runner have little similarities in terms overall platform, but I could be wrong. The GX / Prado are on their own platforms and obviously have the full time 4wd, which is an important distinction between the two. 4runners are great and built like tanks, but it is not a Prado / GX. That being said, the TRD pro is overall more equipped and better from stock.

Love my 12’ 460 ! Lift kit and some rock sliders and can go anywhere

These guys have the thickest accents I’ve ever heard and their English is immaculate. Cheers

Pretty much exactly what I did. You can get a lease return GX for tens of thousands less. Then reinvest into aftermarket upgrades.

Whoever can design an aftermarket grill would be deserving of a a medal. That new model’s grill is offensive.

I just test drove a GX460... great vehicle. Except the infotainment system. For a vehicle that's going to last 15+ years, I'm not going to deal with an infotainment system that is already 10 years outdated with no capability of updating it. Someone needs to release a HALO9 type system for the GX and it's sales would skyrocket I imagine.

All the GX460 have 2nd gear start, they've just added a physical button to the 2020+ models. There older ones used the steering wheel buttons to activate it.

Love it. I wanna see the same with the lx570

$2500 isn't bad at all for that lift. Wheels and tires probably another $2,000. I found a 2014 and 2015 GX and this might become my new daily driver for north west AZ. Great video/information. Thank you

Vid lasted 1:40 min before the absolutely gang started hitting

470 next. I just got one last week

I'm with you Andre not a fan of the front gille on the 2021 Lexus. I do like the look of the old Lexus. Great review and thank Andre, ToyoTech and TFL.

This is not a how to video, its a sales pitch. Good stuff, just confusing title TFL.

@7:00. my 15 GX has the 2nd start function it’s just accessed through a menu in the gauge cluster

Amazing. I'm seeing all the buttons I find on my 2000 lx470. Come on lexus 😂

Absolutely.

I have a 2014 GX 460 and I have'nt had any issues with this SUV. I have no plans to replace it. I know this is a good off road vehicle , but I paid to much to take it off road. Maybe when it's older.

As always guys, it is a pleasure look new video from TFL and the experts as Toytec. For the GX, what is the option to improve the en engine?. I'm the 4runner you could add Magnuson Supercharge, but i haven't see for the V8 that is in the GX. Thanks.

Sweet setup. I just missed my 07 FJ in a pretty similar way...now what about Tommy's FJ?

It’s currently 5:10am right now and yep, I’m watching TFL

What year is the older one?

The $2500 covers partts only. Add another $2000-$2500 for labor.

More of this, please.👍

By the time I buy one of these 150 or 200 series next year, prices will be worse than they are now. These are getting so popular.

A B S O L U T E L Y

Hey the GX looks so good… you’ve done a great job… I have a question… does the drive smoothness of the overall ride stays as comfortable after this change or does it get somewhat rough, like a Jeep?

All of that is great, with the reduction of MPGs from 15 to 11 and the 19 gallon gas tank, you can take it around the block..

Bigger tank upgrade would be cool😅

Lexus GX460, the poor man's LX570. GX460, the watered down version. You look marvelous!

Damn beautiful looking Lexus. Goals.

That is correct.

I kinda want one of the older GX's, since my wife kinda took over my 4Runner

"How much does it cost?" "Not much, it's basically (describes $400 adjustable shock kit) only $2500!"

I love the old face

Very tastefully done.

Do you need to drop the front diff with a 2.5 or 3" lift? How high can you lift before you need to do a diff drop?

Have a 4 runner sr5 Premium xp with atrac,down hill assist, 4 hi, 4 lo. How capable is it on a scale of 1-10. Trd price was out of reach.

Hugo is a nice dude.

I'm looking to get a new car and upgrade to an SUV from my Lexus LS460 and I want something that's luxury and primarily a daily driver but if I want to go overlanding and camping in country back roads in upstate NY, I want something that could potentially handle that. I'm seeing a lot about the GX do people recommend that as the most capable of the luxury suv for offroading? Would really appreciate any recommendations

LUXURY OFFROAD KINGS 🙂👍

It doesn't rub on pavement but what about on trails? It looks a little tight

Buying a lexus gx is already a result of breaking the bank.

So with the ride mode and air suspensions being removed for this lift...does it still have KDSS?

what rim offset did you use to get the 275/70/17 tires to fit without rubbing? looks great!

Damn this this is sweet

Andre likes to tow!

Planning on the same 275 or 265 tire/icon wheel setup but with no lift. Do you think the tire would rub? Any advise

a great offroad vehicle

What year is the modded GX?

what year was the lifted GX460

If I order this set up, can you recommend a shop in Southern California to install it?

under 2500 for that suspension? nice

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSS FINALLYYYYYY YEEEEEEES YEEEEEEES

wonder how many times he farted on that fresh new leather seat

I love my GX

Hi, are you guys going to get a Jeep Wrangler 4xe for testing soon?

did this one have the height adjustment? can you do the same with a LX570?

this was interesting. Why not 285s though?

That still doesn't fix the GX poor departure angles issue, compared to Land Rovers.

My 2010 gx460 has 2nd gear start its just in the dash options

Absolutely!!

Don't need to do anything to a GX. Just get in and drive it... it's a gorilla in a tuxedo... change the tires if you want... the thing just cruises over land... guess that's where it got its name from..lol

Sick!

Wish Toyota would update the interior

Cost to change the front bumper/grill as shown? Lift height after mods? Approach/departure angles?

Would that affect the KDSS system?

Interesting no mention or video shots as to if they left the rear air bags in or not.

"Absolutely"

This channel has gone to the runaffordable and rich side. Way too many expensive reviews we regulars will never be able to afford

Can you fit the spare in that size underneath?

Hearing this guy not know a thing about the engine was painful.
