P.S. Those GM products have woefully low quality interior pieces and transmission issues. The blend door actuators for the HVAC on those are a dash out job and could occur with as little as 35k miles. Great engine and comfy seats they have, build quality they do not. Also check out either the Toyota Grand Highlander or it's Lexus equivalent TX (if they're out yet). They are very roomy and have the Toyota build quality to stand behind.[/QUOTE]

Agree with everything Mr. Torgue mentioned about the GX and GM vehicles except the comment, "Great engine". (Take a look on the Tahoe/Yukon forums and search valve lifters. You will find nightmarish problems.) I had many full size GM SUV's including Tahoe, Yukon and Escalade. My favorite was my 2010 Tahoe LTZ. I wanted to replace it in 2014...no way. They all went downhill when GM redesigned them in '14. That's when I became a GX cult follower. As some have mentioned, there are some quirky features, notably the barn door. (BTW, Rover and Ford are making them all the rage in their most popular vehicles, the Defender and Bronco!) I bought my first GX in '16, actually two of them, another in '21 and '23. I still own three of them. The '16 has a little over 100k on the clock, but if you drove it, you wouldn't know it from new. Change the oil, rotate tires and follow the maintenece schedule and you will have a solid and trouble free ride. They should show a picture of the GX in the dictionary next to the word "bulletproof".

I meant great as on powerful. Sorry poor choice of words.

 

 

My family and I have been Lexus/Toyota buyers for over 30 years (4 Runners, Tacomas, GS, GXs). We've never owned a car that did not make it at least 14 years before trading it in.

When looking for a GX, you may want to consider a '22 since they have updated the infotainment system with a new screen and Apple Carplay. If you are going to keep it a long time, maybe I would wait till the '22s get closer to your price range and buy one with the updated electronics or pay a little more for a '22.

 

Traded a trouble-free 2016 for a new 2023 recently. One thing I noticed is the new one accelerates perceptibly better. Supposedly the engine specs are the same but who knows?
