New GX Owner
Hello, just wanted to say hi and post my first post! I am a proud new owner of a Black 2014 GX Base.
I came from a 2011 BMW X5 xDrive50i M Package. Great car but I needed the 3rd row and tired of new issues popping up often now.
Looking forward to learning a lot on this forum.

Jeff,
In NJ, picked up my GX about a month ago, traded in my 2014 Pilot for it...miss it, missing it less as I get used to the GX....Loving the Body on frame feel over the unibody on the Pilot.
I don't think I'll ever get over the storage from my Pilot. Really want a bug deflector, seeing the best one is the sourced from Europe. I may wait on that, as I may be shipping my GX to Germany, where the some have sourced it. Looking at the newer grill with front and rear valance, but sad to read the problems some have experience from the Dubai source....So I may choose to wait on that a bit too.
Not much for technology installs.. yet, I'm wondering what the Nav will do when I get to Germany, if there is an update, so if anyone knows, thanks in advance.
Also thanks for all you pioneers on accessories.
1. 2016 GX 460 Base 27K miles
2. Black exterior and interior
3. Navigation / Mark Levinson
4. Nothing Past Stock except front windows tinted..., Picking up 22x10 Wheels next week. Here are some current pics for "before" reference. :-)

Picked up a 2012 GX460
I have been driving a Camry Hybrid since 2012, but it is time to “sell” it to our daughter. So I picked up the 2012 GX today. 112,000 miles, all her life has been in CA and it is pretty clean. I am going to LOVE this ride, but I will miss my 38 MPG. I look forward to learning from all of the wisdom in this group.
Thanks in advance for the knowledge shared.

Thanks to everyone who has answered my questions on this forum! I just bought a 2017 luxury version with driver's support package today. It took me a long time to find a GX with this package in SoCal, but I'm glad I waited. Starfire pearl with black interior, and captains chairs in the second row.
Looking forward to learning more from this forum!

I just bought a 2017 CPO luxury version with driver's support package today (32,000 miles). I looked a long time at GX's with this package (crawl control) here in Florida, while waiting on my lease on a 2017 Volt to end. The Volts (2013 & 2017)were great commuting cars (I saved $12,000 in fuel costs over 6 years) but heading into retirement fuel is not a big concern and I wanted an SUV for my last car. [I do have a '61 VW Single cab transporter which I converted to all electric and we use as a support vehicle for the Tulane Marching band in 3 Mardi Gras parades]
Black with Sepia interior, and captains chairs in the second row. CPO had 3 1/2 years factory unlimited miles left. Bought an additional 5 years Lexus bumper to bumper for $3000. Warranty on my Stents isn't that good!
Lots of good info on this forum, so thanks.
It also came with the squishy brakes!

Just got myself a 2019 I love it. Had to have the blue and I went with the dark interior. I came from an Accord and needed the extra size, glad to be part of the Lexus family

Another 2017 GX460 Premium CPO with 37K Miles. Black on black. Nav. Unlimited mileage warranty through December 2024. Bone stock for now ( )
Totaled my primo 2013 Black 4Runner 4x4 SR5 with Premium Package & Leather on July 4th (no one was hurt). Had 195k Miles without a single peep of issues. Wanted to try the Lexus equivalent - so far I have not been let down I love the extra headroom and torque from the throaty V8 plus the 6-speed.
Will be installing the killer audio system from the 4Runner pretty soon (minus the radio). 4KW (RMS) of audio goodness. Morel/JBL/Alpine/ARC Audio/JL. It does not disappoint.
Speaking of radios - I saw an aftermarket radio kit for the IS that has additional controls for Climate Control and allows you to use any double-DIN radio. Does anything exist fro the 2nd gen GX460? I've been searching high and low with no luck... I'll search around here before opening a thread...
See y'all around the forum. I was a regular at T4R.org - so I know the "rules of the road" pretty well (lol)...
