Currently drive a 2020 AT4 with the 6.2. I've had no problems with the truck, except for the sudden urge to trade it in on a 22 or 23 GX460. Not sure what has come over me as I've always been a truck guy, but damn the 460's have been growing on me lately.

good point

i rented a '23 GX460 recently.

i agree it's a sharp looking vehicle. it's comfy to drive. but it definitely reminds you that you're driving a big heavy SUV and doesn't feel very refined. it has a v8 but it's thirsty as heck and feels like it needs another 50+hp.

the interior is nice, infotainment is good, although the stupid touchpad i could never grasp in a short time.

you might consider renting one on turo and see if it really delivers what you want.

edit - and the fuel tank is pretty small, you will be lucky to break 300 miles per tank unless you're doing all highway driving

So you want to go from a comfy truck to a comfy four runner?

Drive what you want to drive

I switched from 20+ years of truck daily driver to GX460 in 2023

16 months later, here's my take:
- it's not a truck. And it doesn't do truck things very well.
- I've only towed a small boat a short distance which was fine
- don't overlook the storage underneath the back seat of a truck, or the cab in general. I have a list of "must have" items that I keep in vehicles. Unfortunately, there's not much storage space in the GX…so I have to keep a sportsman trunk in the back…which takes up a ton of space.
- I didn't think I used my bed too much…and missed it immediately. I use a hitch mounted cargo carrier for decoys, sacks of corn, mulch etc…but even that has its downsides. During the June hurricane, I brought gas to my buddies in Houston and had to put it all in the cab.
- it's so much smoother, nicer to drive, easy to handle. Parking garages (and tight lots) are no longer an issue
- I've taken it off-roading twice (and off the road several more times) and it is highly capable.

I don't know if I'll ever get rid of it, but I could see myself adding a truck back to the fleet because the two just don't do the same thing.

Nothing beats a truck. Only get the GX as your second vehicle for the wife and keep the truck.

I really want to like these, but only soccer moms and Asian businesses owners roll them.

this is where I am. I think my entire problem stems from the fact toyota and lexus are moving to the hybrid/turbo BS.....my wife currently drives a 16' 4runner which is great, but with our kids getting older/bigger we will have to get something with more room in the near future. I've just grown to love and want the 460 mainly because of the V8 and reliability/creature comforts. Sucks to see the tanks go away in favor of EPA BS. Wife really wants the 550, but I'm hoping I can talk her into a 460 or older land cruiser when the time comes to say goodbye to our current 4R.

Had this same dilemma recently. I have been wanting a Nori Green Pearl Lexus GX 460 since they came out. I had a 2023 Tundra 1794 TRD OFF Road 4x4 and hated all the issues I was having. They dont make Toyota's like they used to. I ended up finding that Nori Green Lexus and traded my truck in.

I do more driving that needing a truck bed, but I do have a trailer I could use if needed. I also have access to my son's truck since he lives close.

I absolutely love the GX 460 and don't regret it one bit. I will be in the market for a good used truck soon, because I do like to have one around the land anyway. I just could not afford a 23 Tundra and a Lexus GX 460.
