Congrats!

Might be a border-line parking sensor. I have seen mine go off rarely after a brushless carwash but it clears up later in the day.

If you are in an out of warranty vehicle situation Techstream or OBD Fusion/Link can find out which one is the problem

I think that is Tungsten Pearl... 2010-2014.

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?
I'd contact the dealer tomorrow morning and ask them to help you out with parts and labor at local dealer to resolve it, the worst they can do is say no...

thanks for the input y’all, it actually turned out to be a corroded battery terminal. Weird that it only caused issues with that one system. Cleaned it up this morning and the parking sensors are working again!

Question Seat Covers

@scorpio74 May I ask where you got your seat covers? We have a dog and I would like something like what you have here in your photos.
Cheers!

Default Newly purchased 2010 GX 460


Hi, I have just purchased a 2010 GX 460 with 183000 km.

Just wondering if anyone has any tips/ suggestions for things I need to look out for or do to get the most out of the new ride!

Thanks!

Here are some things to look out for regarding reliability. I had a similar question before purchasing mine and was directed to this thread.

Default 2020 Premium sport design package.

Hi all,

New to the Lexus brand and loving my new new ride!
Got a killer deal when I traded my 2017 Tacoma Trd sport. Just detailed it today and ceramic coated the exterior and also the leather with Car pro Cquartz leather coating.

Default First Lexus

Hello,
We just purchased our new to us 2015 GX 460.

After owning 1st, 3rd, 4th, and 5th gen 4runners, we decided to step up to the GX. I wanted the extra towing capacity for our boat and not being sure what the 6th gen 4Runner would offer, the GX checked all the boxes. Toyota reliability and Lexus quality, no way to go wrong.

This is a certified pre-owned, which is nearly immaculate and with the two year warranty, the deal was sealed.
Our GX is a luxury package with ecru interior. So far, we are very impressed with both the vehicle and the Lexus experience. Both are on a whole different level than Toyota. We still have the gen 4 4runner as a second car, it is still going strong after 14 years of reliable service.

Default New to me!

Hi everyone!

Just picked up this 2016 GX460 last week! Searched around for a while until I could find the right one. I’m most excited about the possibilities of this vehicle and can’t can’t wait to take my son camping and off-roading.

Luxury
Black onyx / black semi-aniline interior
ML system
Fsport wheels
Heated steering wheel

Ordered the usual already. All weather mats and window deflectors.
Next on the list is lift spacers, bigger wheels and a roof rack. Figured I don’t need full suspension yet as im not adding that much weight to the GX.

Looking forward to learning a lot from this forum and members !

Also looking forward to doing some small mods as the year gets underway.

Have a great one!

Hi Guys,

I'm a new member here and just bought a new GX:

1. Model or pagkage - GX Premium
3. Color or the exterior and interior - White/Red
2. With Navigation
4. Option Packages or options - Wood steering wheel, headlamp washer, rear tonneau cover, all weather floor liners and tow hitch.

The first Lexus I owned was a 2013 RX350 and upgraded to a Infiniti QX 56. The QX was a beast and had plenty of space and power but was too big to enjoy.

Having owned the baby bear (RX 350) and the papa bear (QX56), I decided the momma bear was the right one for me.

I have owned the GX for just over a month now and I love everything about it. I never imagined I would enjoy driving a Lexus as all the previous cars I have owned and currently own are German.

The first thing I had to do was get rid of the mommy mobile tires and replace them with 275/70/18 KO2's, it has improved the look drastically and I have ordered the Ironman Nitro 2-3" lift kit and will hopefully get them in this week.

I look forward to being a member of this forum and taking part in any SoCal (Orange County) off road events.

Default New 2017 GX460 Owner

hi Guys, new owner of a 2017 GX with 29K on the clock. Nebula Gray Pearl with Black leather / Premium Package with BSM. So glad to be back in a truck from the Rising Sun. Retired my Sequoia last March after 245K ( still sold it for $9K !) and like a dumb *** decided to try my hand at Wrangler ownership. What a mistake that was! From build quality , to goofy niggles and design elements it was a very unpleasant 8 months. Couldn't sell it fast enough . Long story short, didn't need the room the Sequoia had as kids are older now and I wanted a bit more refined ride as I enter into my second half century. Will be the wife's car during the week to putz around the Cape and mine on the weekend to take in the deep sand near the beach . Will be looking for recommendations on skid plate/ roof rails / roof basket with my fellow light use sanders. No major mods planned as I like her stock as she is absent the previous goodies I mentioned.

Thanks and Cheers !!
