Congrats!

You might be one of the first ones on here to post they also have the cool box.

US never got that that but Canada had as an option.

Just purchased a ‘15 Premium last week. White/Black w/39K miles. One owner and every single 5K interval service done from first purchased new to the 40K service just before it was traded in at the local Lexus dealer.

To pass the state inspection, it got new rotors on the front and pads all the way around (bonus!). Previous owner had the dealership add a hitch and electric connectors. The truck also came with two crossbars on the roof rack (owner purchase?).
Truck will be family vehicle and stay mostly stock.

Potential Mods/Additions:
Definitely thinking about getting the clear bra pieces applied before the front end gets more chips on it.
Possibly the auto opening/closing module for the side view mirrors.
Some type of OBD scanner (I have a scangage 2 on my T4R and love all the real-time data).

Background:
Lexus n00b, but owning only Toyota trucks since ‘89 (still drive my little 2wd ‘89 pick up to work every day...). Besides the little pick up, I presently own a ‘95.5 Tacoma and ‘00 T4R LTD.

I look forward to learning as much as I can and hope to be able to contribute at some point.

The sales person actually switched and is now working in finance at the dealership. I will send you the name of another person there

Just purchased a 19 GX460 Luxury, Starfire Pearl & Ecru Leather. It replaces our 04 GX470. Just curious; the 04 GX has the tow hitch, but the new GX doesn't. Does the one on the old vehicle fit this 2nd gen GX460?

Just joined after picking up a one owner 2013 GX last weekend to replace our 100 series Land Cruiser that we owned for the last 14 years that was hit by an uninsured driver a month ago.

Hi all,

1. 2014 GX460, not Luxury; 50k on the clock
2. Starfire Pearl, Black Interior
3. Navigation, no ML
4. Premium package; factory remote start (which has a mind of its own); Headlamp washers; Auto-retracting mirrors etc.
5. Front and rear brush/bull bars - not sure what brand but my initial guess is Vanguard. Will be selling if interested.

Build to come:
Dobinsons 2"
18' RPT1
KO2's
3rd row delete & Dobinsons rear drawers
SSO Roof rack and sliders
Tint etc.

Can anyone confirm that these are vanguard? They do not seem to sell them anymore.

Got the wife a 2019 in Nightfall Mica w/ Ecru - Premium w/ captains chairs and Sport Design.

She traded in her 2016 4Runner Limited and cannot believe how much quieter, softer, and peppier the GX is. Happy wife....

Default New 2014 GX Owner

Just acquired a 2014 GX 460 Premium, black on black, with 94K on the odometer (Carfax shows the PO regularly serviced it with Lexus). My first Lexus after having owned (and still own) several Toyotas. Bought this one from a dealership and got to know it by driving it 700 miles from Tulsa to Denver. It was a great, comfortable drive with all the HVAC and radio features working nicely. Love the LED headlights. Standard cruise control worked great, although I was wishing I had the dynamic radar CC to try out, but then I won't be doing much highway driving anyway. Drove through some rainstorms and the auto rain sensing wipers worked pretty well. I was on the interstate most of the time, but when not, the nav system did fine. The standard "premium" speaker system is a little boxy sounding, but better than I expected. I was originally holding out for the Mark Levinson, but decided I wanted to go as new I could within my budget, so some premium/luxury features got dropped.

Only question I have at the moment is I'm not seeing the "Train Voice Recognition" option in Voice settings I've seen in online documentation and a walk-around video on YouTube. Doesn't appear that there's any updates for the system, so I'm not sure why I'm missing that feature.

Otherwise, everything is working great and it's the best vehicle and truck I've owned so far.

I had been reading this forum while still shopping around and got the sense that GX's with the driver support package with crawl control are pretty much unicorns. Can confirm they're pretty rare, but I did come across four of them, two of which were local to me. One was a 2010 and the other a 2012. On the 2010 the dealer put a lift kit on it and it was kinda beat, so I passed, especially as I didn't want to go older than 2012 anyway. The 2012 was not modified as far as I could tell, but also a bit beat and too many miles for my taste. There was a black 2010 out east and a 2013 out west as well. The 2013 was pretty tempting before I decided to go with a 2014.

A few things I've done since getting my GX:
  • Installed front license plate bracket.
  • Installed the Lexus rear cargo mats.
  • Installed dog barrier for cargo area.
  • Got the GX a little wet and dirty in some mud puddles today:
