Default 2018 Lexus GX 460 Premium Questions.

Hi guys,

I'm about to trade in my Mercedes ML350 for a GX460? I haven't driven one yet, but I'm pretty convinced on buying it. My goal is 399 p/m on the lease for 27/10. Seems pretty attainable considering I have a 5k certificate through Morgan Stanley (let me know if I've lost it). Are there any tunes available for the car? I really want the sport pack (I hate the rims), but I haven't seen many online in a premium trim with it. First question, does the third row power fold? Second, Does the Premium trim have adaptive cruise? Third, Are there any tunes on this car? Also, inventory seems rather low, are dealers prepping for a new model?

Thanks,
Quentin

You will need to pick up a Luxury for the power folding 3rd row seats. Back in the pre-refresh days ('10-'13) they were power folding on all models.

For adaptive cruise you will need to get the Luxury with Driver Support Package


Not aware of any tunes but you may want to reach out to this vendor

Just a lower volume model it would seem... refresh could be up to 2+ years out.

Sport Design can be optioned on Premium.

Thank you so much, I think I am just going to get it. I mean if I can get it for 399, I can't focus on the tech. Another member posted a GX with the roof basket blacked out with off road tires, which is what I'll try to get mine to. I'm having a tough time finding a Black one with the Ecru interior and captains chairs.

I have an appointment at Lexus of Manhattan for Friday evening. From Lexus of Brooklyn, before the rebate, I have an offer of 562 w/ 2000 at signing for 27 months. Factoring in the rebate I'm at 377, w/ 2000. OR 380 with the captains chairs. Then rolling some of that I get to 1500 at 395. However, I am very picky, decided against the sport package, will black it out/ put on roof basket by myself. However, I want the Ecru with the captains chairs in the black color (maybe silver, but not moving from the ecru). Also hoping they will give me a discount to repair my LS460L, which needs about 4500 to fix the suspension.

Are you gonna go with a basket like this?



or a roof platform? I have a basket but thinking about a platform so I can put in garage easier. My GX has the rear air suspension so I can get vehicle in garage with basket but platform would make entry easier without adjusting suspension.

http://www.autoanything.com/roof-rac...ted-cargo-rack, I park in a high ceiling commercial garage, so I'm good. I am going to do the modifications myself. All I want is a black or silver/Ecru with the captains chairs. I know, still, its hard to find.

Are you ready for a pickup? the GX is a lot more truck like than what you are used to. Personally I like that, but some won't.
