Hi all!

Just got me a 2015 GX460 Base. I have owned Toyota trucks since 04. Tundras and Tacomas. I've always liked the GX so I figured why not. Loving it so far. First upgrades are a 2" leveling kit and some new wheels and tires. Hopefully before Xmas. Great forum.

2013 GX 460 Base
Tungsten Pearl/Ecru
CONVENIENCE PACKAGE
COMFORT PLUS PACKAGE
NAVIGATION SYSTEM

Moved to TX from North East US, figured better get something big to blend in
Bought 3 months ago, CPO at dealer with 60k miles. Wanted the older front grill. Wife loves it, uses it mainly for her work where she needs to drive out into hill country. Other than the appalling gas mileage, so far really enjoy it (on the very rare times I get to drive it)


Picking it up at the dealership. Wife couldn't believe this was her car - its a 2013 but it looked almost new. I liked this front end more than the '14+, but I do wish the headlights were brighter. Maybe there is a simple way to upgrade the bulbs.

Hello to Club Lexus. We just put a deposit on our 1st Lexus, a 2020 GX 460, Atomic Silver, Rioja Red. It was supposed to hit US soil this past week, so we probably won't take delivery until mid JAN. It will be the wife's car. She has been a full size pickup girl for many years, so it will seem compact to her. Looking forward to asking a few questions going forward.

New to the GX side but not to Lexus, picked up a 2020 Starfire/Rioja Premium with Captains and typical options. Currently also own 2018 GS350F, 2006 GS430 and a 2005 LX470 which is for sale in the classified section if anyone is looking....

After 6 months of deliberating, researching, stressing, I finally made the jump from my 03 LX 470 with 290k miles to a 2014 GX Premium with 88k! Drove yesterday from Charleston to Ocala, FL to pick it up. It was the sales manager's car and was absolutely pristine - you could have eaten off the undercarriage.





One weird problem popped up on the drive home last night though - anytime I come to a stop, the parking sensor alarm goes off and I get a malfunction message saying to contact the dealer. During the test drive and inspection, it never happened. The only difference is that is was raining when the problem started. Anyone run into that before?
