Was about to post this but of course @Acrad beat me to it! Nice vid explaining the difference between the 4Runner and GX 4WD systems and how much impact locking the center diff makes.

 

I don't think it was mentioned so maybe Tommy isn't aware that when in low, the GX has auto A-trac (I think under 5 miles per hour or something). So both 4Runner and GX have A-Trac but with 4runner you select when to activate it.

 

I think he did mention it at the beginning, something like you have to push a button in the 4Runner but it's auto in the GX

 

coming from an 07 GX470 I really like our 17 GX460 Luxury. I must be the target consumer for Lexus, because I really don't understand what all the fuss is about regarding the interior and technology being behind the times. I think it looks great, and it does what it is supposed to do to let you drive w/o issue. Towing with it next weekend, hoping the extra gear will result in better fuel economy then our 07.

 

I normally don't watch TFL, however, this was actually a pretty good video.

 

 

Here is an interesting comparison between GX460 and the 4 Runner

 

This new owner is very excited about their new GX. Good for them.

 

Not to be nitpicky, the new GX doesn't belong in the GX460 forum.

 

 

Retro ‘13 review

After accounting for inflation price of 2023 GX is less expensive than it was in 2013

 

A fully loaded with features added to a ‘13 Premium below would be $71,649 (2013) which is inflation adjusted at $94,628.28 (2023)

Packages: NL, PA, RI, TC, ZA, Z3





My ‘12 would be $63,515 (2012) and $85,114 (2023)

 

Owner review of GX460 Lux vs Prado Kakadu. I always wondered how different the 460 was from the top trim Prado (Kakadu). Also note that rear locker has always been available as part of the last gen Prado/J150 platform. So the inclusion of the rear locker in the Overtrail 550 is more about trim marketing per geo by Toyota than it is a reflection of any new capabilities in the new J250 platform.

 

the inserted clips gave me quite a few chuckles.
