We finally received our 2023. I’m hoping it’s as good as owners review all the time.

Picked up a 23 Nori Green last week. I am coming from a world of coupes and small sedans but the change is welcome.
Ceramic coating and tints are being installed in a couple of weeks.

Hello,

2023 Executive (Canadian full load model) purchased in Nov 2022. Caviar (black /dark grey depending on light) and black interior. Traded in a 2019 Audi A6 that was a tech wonder but always was in the shop...

So far just put on Lexus 18" rims and KO2 10 ply tires on it. It came standard with 19" rims and Dunlop tires but I wanted more sidewall and better tires.

BTW, great forum!! Bit of a crappy pic at an underconstruction grocery store but it's all I have at the moment.

Default She just arrived and she is a beaut!

Hi fellow GXers. I am now the very proud owner of a 2019 GX460. She has the Luxury package with all the bells and whistles. She is Starfire Pearl with the black and white interior. It has the driver support pkg which includes Mark Levinson audio, pre-collision, DRCS (which I really wanted), lane departure, intelligent high beams, wide view front and side monitor and crawl control. Mods and upgrades are going to come fast. Putting in the throttle controller tomorrow. New tires ASAP. Plan on a front bumper and sliders pretty soon. Need some all weather floor mats PDQ. Many more upgrades and MODS to come. Any suggestions/tips are welcome. Here's a pic from the dealer. I'll up some of my own when the weather is better. Glad to be here.

Howdy from Clarksville Tennessee!

I came to the GX460 community through a life long affliction of "Land Cruiser-itis", an expensive and time consuming disorder that up until now, my lovely bride kind of looked down at.

And then a couple weeks ago, out of the blue, she expressed interest in getting a Land Cruiser of her own. Of course, I had exactly the LC derivative in mind for her and off we went, shopping for a clean, relatively low mileage GX460. Her only requirement is that it NOT be white or black. In the Nashville area, that is actually asking quite a bit, but undeterred, I spent a week looking and stumbled across this one owner, 78,000 mile gem, which lived its entire life in the Hollywood, CA area and was bought at auction by a local car dealer:

Cleanest car I've ever seen, inside and out.
2017 GX460

Premium package with stock towing.

Nightfall Mica/black interior

Needs new rubber, brakes and shocks and struts.

Looking for map updates and a good solution to keep the dog from destroying that gorgeous leather interior. And to learn as much as I can about this ride.

Thanks! I drive it daily.

Get lots of comments asking about "What are you going to do with it when you get it running?"

I guess some folks don't understand that natural patina has little/nothing to do with function.

We traded our 2022 ES350 on Sunday for a 2023 GX460 Blackline, mainly because my wife feels safer in the GX. The ES was a beautiful car, but the GX will be more functional as our last vehicle when I eventually downsize and sell my Tundra. I also didn't want to miss the last chance for the current generation GX. I'm really stoked about our new GX, and looking forward to customizing it for some light duty adventure travels.



I like the Boulder Nuluxe upholstery...
