I absolutely love the Lexus GX. I spent some time working at a Lexus dealer, and the amount that I would see with high miles that still ran like a top was amazing. On top of that, it's one of the last vehicles in its class to come standard with a V8 engine. The only possible competitor I can think of that offers a V8 would be a Chevy Tahoe, which is far lower quality than the Lexus, and costs pretty similarly. On top of all that, the GX is great for off roading. I only wish it offered a manual option like the Toyota Prado in other countries, but I'm sure very few would sell if they did.

Well Done Scotty. I had an 05 also built in Japan. Bulletproof with ZERO $$ spent over 200,000 miles. Sad day when I sold it with my US condo in Palm Springs but the new owner got a great vehicle. Sooo happy! I now have my 2012 GX with 125,000 kms. Again, not a penny spent. Had a rear suspension air module fail but the dealer fixed it in about an hour - no charge. Fuel mileage is 13.4 l/100 since new combined. Works out to about 21.2 mpg imperial gallons, which is better than my 05 with the 4.7 You’re so right about no rattles or squeaks. So smooth. My daughter just bought a new BMW X5. Besides the upgraded infotainment, I’d take my GX anyday. I run a lot of winter kms up and down our local ski mtn. The traction control system is wonderful for a larger heavy vehicle. I just wish they’d make this model in a hybrid. To finish. If you want a vehicle that will run forever - find a GX. Doesn’t seem to matter what year. They just work. Never used the 3rd row seats. No kids anymore.

The surprisingly good handling combined with a Cadillac smooth ride is due to the KDSS. It allows a smooth ride even though it has a sway bar the size of a red bull can. It leaves the sway bar connected when the wheels on one side of the vehicle are compressing at the same time (indicating body roll), but disconnects the sway bar when wheels on the same axle (or just a single wheel) are compressing, indicating a bump. It is purely mechanical- no electronics. Very clever design. Try hitting some speed bumps at 35 mph. It'll be smoother than hitting them at 15 mph. These are actually pretty amazing vehicles, and very capable off-road when you cut the first 5" of plastic off the bottom.

I don't get why you ppl buy brand new....you lose so much as soon as you take it off the lot..and if your caddy only had 26k on it, anything it needed would be under warranty..either way..buying new isn't a good idea...besides, all new cars and trucks are made cheaper.. but they have all that stupid crap in it like the apple car play... people see the technology and don't see that the car or truck isnt made as well as they used to be. They put all that stuff in them to distract you, and sadly, it does..

@Cocora22 2 жыл бұрын

@@richsweeney1115 I don’t know why I’m even bothering to answer your question but I will. So on the Cadillac. It had problem after problem. When it didn’t develop it’s own problem the mechanics managed to damage things. They busted a windshield when it was brand new, they replaced with a damaged one, had to get it replaced again. Engine not running right , refused to fix. Shudder also never fixed, went to several dealers still no resolution. Doesn’t matter if you have a vehicle under warranty if the dealers where you live suck you are stuck. You go back and forth and your truck is in the shop constantly you have to ask yourself if that aggravation is worth it. There were many other little things going on with it. In this market it was worth selling it and I didn’t take a beating. As you said it’s under warranty and someone wanted to deal with whatever issues it had. I buy new, because I can. If you don’t care for tech in your vehicle that’s a personal choice. I use my Apple car play all the time, every moment I’m in the car and guess what I even have wifi 24-7 in the car , that too is because I can. Why should you care what a person drives or why . Do you also worry about the kind of house a person buys? Does someone need a huge house? Or many acres of land? Or so many clothes or you could just keep going on. You live once and you make your choices based on what you can afford and what your priorities are and you hopefully enjoy the things that you have. I’m thankful and appreciative of the physical things I am able to have. It took me a lifetime to be able to have that ability to buy what I want. If you like buying used enjoy that, it’s fun shopping for a bargain and what you saved go spend on something else. Where I live there are a number of people who go to the John Deere store every other year some even every year and trade their lawn tractor in for a new one. Guess what they loose a ton of money doing that. Then another guy walks in and buys that used tractor and saves. I bought mine 33 years ago and it runs like a Deere! 😂😂😂😂. Believe it or not I am a very frugal person, but I do enjoy buying what I want and can.

My wife absolutely loves it and of course zero issues. I do like the new GX550 that are replacing it in 2024 despite them getting rid of the V8 and will probably get one a couple of years after they have been out, since I don't want a first year model until they work out any potential bugs.

I remember in the early 90s the Toyota Land Cruiser/Lexus LX 450 had a big straight six in it that was a really outstanding engine. It wasn't a Formula 1 engine but it made a lot of low end torque which is what you need on something that big and heavy. Those engines could go 500,000 or more miles if you just changed the oil regularly. Even at about 30 years old those models still have high resale values.
