Going to look at a 2017 tomorrow, premium package with 80,xxx miles.
I've researched a bunch but am always open to input.

My wife has a 2020 that she has racked up almost 80,000 miles on. It’s a fantastic vehicle that I highly recommend. My only complaint is it calls for premium gas.

Bought my wife one early last year. She loves it and I don’t know that you can find a more dependable vehicle. They do call for premium, but a lot of people run regular 87. Folks also complain about mileage, but it’s a V8, solid, stable, and running on all 4 all the time so I wouldn’t expect a fuel miser. We love ours.

I've mentioned before...

bought an '11 Premium back in Jan '20 w/95K miles

Now has 129K on it and has been a good truck...although just replaced radiator this month

Fuel ? Run mid range 87 here in Utah @ 6K' elevation..turns 19-21 mpg highway

This is my wife's daily...I really don't drive it that much

The Mark Levinson sound system is amazing

The new oil filter system is a PIA....but oil changed every 6 months not a big deal

Have extra trim plates from steel bumper I need to remove to get to the filter

Along with dropping the skid plates to get to drain plug & front drive line zerks

Holds 8 quarts of 0w-20 & doesn't use a drop between 6500 mile changes

Great truck/SUV....but I'm a 'Yoda guy......have two other older Landcruisers...'03 & '01

Mod's done.....tires/wheels/lift/front steel bumper

My fiancé has a 2021. She racks up some miles visiting me, as I travel all over the country on work projects. We use it often instead of my Chevy 2500 HD Duramax. It’s a great vehicle that she spent a lot of research & thought on before trading her racy BMW in on.

You really can’t go wrong with one I believe.

well we bought it, TN it looks just like yours w/o the mods, with you having bigger tires what did you do for a spare since i's pretty tight with just the stock tire size?

Tires are Goodyear Ultra Terrain E rated......265-70x17's

Have 30K + miles on tires and are doing real well...great snow traction

Yes bought 5 tires/wheels when I switched over from the 18's...sold the 18's quick

Along with adding a RidG Ultra swing receiver mount tire carrier......wife hated it..sold it

So on longer trips....spare is behind rear seats...won't fit underneath

Link #2 is Bell Lexus.......best source I've found for OEM parts

It needs regular oil changes at 5K and not the 10K interval. Transmission should be serviced at 60k . Thats about it, look up the maintenance schedule and stick to it. Extremely solid vehicle, will tow its broken down competitors out of the woods .. grin

Another vote for Bell Lexus for parts. They ship fast and have great prices.

The GX 460 is an awesome, underappreciated ride. Good luck with your new vehicle.

I looked at a lightly used 2020 the other day for the bride. Great vehicle. Wish it would work, but just not big enough for kids and teammates/friends.
