Welcome! Since that is a Ultra Premium from Canada does it have the cooler box in the console? Not sure if they all do or just an optional feature on top trim.

Thanks!, unfortunately does not, this would have came in handy in this region during summer heatwaves
Still cool optioned rig... already has MTS/Crawl and all of the other things like surround cameras, PCS, radar cruise...etc
One thing you might want to look at in future is to see if your left door has the wiring harness for the left side camera. Such a limited pool of vehicles to find out as only Canada or Puerto Rico AFAIK in North America. If so...that surround view monitor cable could be on your driver side. You'd still have to replace the mirror.
A little more info on what I am talking about. US vehicles don't have the camera harnesses. Even if you don't plan to mod it but at some point have the door panel open at some point take some pics.
Thanks!

Agreed, I'm not sure if the dealer fully knew what they had because the car was under priced, I for one didn't realize it was ultra trim until few days later. Initially was looking at chevy tahoe, honda pilot and nissan armada before mechanic friend mentioned this car, I'm glad I didn't end up with one of those other cars.
Thanks for the info on the camera!, I did notice there is a camera in the left mirror however was not able to get it to turn on by cycling with the camera button on the steering wheel and I didn't investigate any further
I've been wanting to get out in the mountains to explore since moving to Reno, NV from out east and my Honda Civic wasn't up to the task. I decided on a 5th Gen 4Runner Trail/TRD Offroad with KDSS, but was not willing to buy new. In my research, I started reading more about the Lexus GX and since I was struggling to find a suitable used 4Runner within a couple of hours drive, I opened my shopping parameter's to include 2011-2012 GX's. Ended up landing a 2011 Lexus GX460 Base more readily and cheaper than a 4Runner and so far I've been very pleased with it and glad it worked out that way.
This photo is on a forest road 2.5 miles from my house as the crow flies (7.3 miles driving).
Been a member for a while... sold our 2007 4R Limited v6 back in Jul2017 and been in the market for a replacement since...
Finally found our deal and pulled the trigger on a lightly used 2017 Luxury, DSP totally loaded with everything, dvd's, fsport
Could not be happier with the deal... Literally not a scratch on it, perfect...
NM/ black color combo, 16,700 miles
2015 GX460 Luxury L/Certified purchased from a Lexus dealer in CO with 41,000 miles. (Options: Tow Hitch, Mark Levinson, Remote Start, 3M PPF, etc) Did the Uni-Mod last night and am scheduled to get a 3 step paint correction and 3 coats of Kenzo ceramic coating applied. Looking forward to being a contributing member of the GX forums.
Nice GX. Just curious...what’s the ‘uni-mod’ you are referring to?
Not 100% sure I'm doing this right but if it doesn't post correctly I'll delete and figure it out.
2012 GX460 base that my wife drove as her daily and I had a 5th gen 4runner TE. She wanted a new car so I decided to keep the 460 and sell the 4runner. I'm a true toyota junkie and it was hard to part ways with the 5th gen but there were too many things about the 460 that I liked.
I have 285/75/17 Wild Peaks and Fuel Shoks sitting in my garage right now just waiting for me to make up my friggin mind on suspension.
Leaning towards just going with a basic Dobs set up and getting everything else dialed in (skids,sliders,bumpers, etc..) and then swapping out suspension in a year or so. Welcome to the worlds slowest 460 build. lol
I'll post pics when I get this thing lifted.
Really like this community and GXOR has been great also.
Cheers
Howdy Y’all! Just picked up the wife’s new GX Lux with Drivers Support and Sport Design in Starfire pearl, Sepia interior with captains chairs. Took it to my paint protection guy and had the entire hood and both front fenders wrapped along with the front fascia, headlights and mirrors. Did a 5 year Feynlab ceramic coating on the paint and the wheel.
Brought it home in his trailer since it was raining and I wanted it to be clean for her when she jumped in it this morning.
Edit: is there a restriction on attaching images for newbs? I open the advanced manage attachment window an upload from my iPad and then when the window closes there are no current attachments.
This is her first Lexus. Finally punted Mercedes to the curb after the last one. The GL320 is a money pit. The last 2 benzes have been junk after the warranty runs out. Hoping this is as reliable long term as the reputation would suggest.
