My Kia van steering was sticking bad. Kia wanted $800 to replace joint. Scotty told me to just spray it with wD40. That was 100k miles ago. Still works fine

Bought a 2003 GX as soon as they came out. I've got 449,000 on it now. Won't ever sell it.

Scotty maintains his denim jacket like his wife's Lexus; that thing lasts forever.

“They’re not giving these things away” is my favorite Scotty quote

Have had mine since 2017. Paid $43k cash and no plans to sell it ever. Best car we have ever had. Literally just gas and oil changes and it drives the same as the day we bought. No interior wear or squeaks.

After 9 months of having my ‘23 GX I have no regrets, I did my research for over 4 years

Buy once, cry once. You can buy one of the American or German competitors but, the quality of Lexus speaks volumes for that brand.

I absolutely love the Lexus GX. I spent some time working at a Lexus dealer, and the amount that I would see with high miles that still ran like a top was amazing. On top of that, it's one of the last vehicles in its class to come standard with a V8 engine. The only possible competitor I can think of that offers a V8 would be a Chevy Tahoe, which is far lower quality than the Lexus, and costs pretty similarly. On top of all that, the GX is great for off roading. I only wish it offered a manual option like the Toyota Prado in other countries, but I'm sure very few would sell if they did.

Scotty is being extra nice to this brand new Lexus, he didn't throw the engine beauty cover onto the ground for this one.

Well Done Scotty. I had an 05 also built in Japan. Bulletproof with ZERO $$ spent over 200,000 miles. Sad day when I sold it with my US condo in Palm Springs but the new owner got a great vehicle. Sooo happy! I now have my 2012 GX with 125,000 kms. Again, not a penny spent. Had a rear suspension air module fail but the dealer fixed it in about an hour - no charge. Fuel mileage is 13.4 l/100 since new combined. Works out to about 21.2 mpg imperial gallons, which is better than my 05 with the 4.7 You’re so right about no rattles or squeaks. So smooth. My daughter just bought a new BMW X5. Besides the upgraded infotainment, I’d take my GX anyday. I run a lot of winter kms up and down our local ski mtn. The traction control system is wonderful for a larger heavy vehicle. I just wish they’d make this model in a hybrid. To finish. If you want a vehicle that will run forever - find a GX. Doesn’t seem to matter what year. They just work. Never used the 3rd row seats. No kids anymore.

I have a 95 Lexus ls400 - made in Japan with 119k miles and has been an amazing car and continues to deliver!!!

$51K, that's a lot, but then again he's got a quality vehicle that will last forever. I have a 2004 Sequoia 4WD with the 4.7 V8, runs like a dream. Best thing only has 161,000 miles and paid just $4,000 for it a year and a half ago. It will probably outlast me.

I love my 2014 GX 460. It was built by Toyota, has enough room for the whole family and dogs while also having enough HP to pull my tritoon with no issues. The 4-wheel drive is also very handy when you are on a wet boat ramp (the same 4-wheel drive that is in a Toyota Landcruiser Prado).

Scotty my wife has Lexus es300 just like your wife’s and we have had very few problems for 20 years. Original engine with 260 miles. We change oil with synthetic oil and excellent car. Same color as yours! Watching your channel for years and you have taught me so much! Thank you!

i just wanna say something random. you are a legend man. i watched your videos for years and its still as good

I bought a 2006 Lexus GX470 a year ago. Great shape and still solid.

This is the SUV I’m getting. I’ve never driven or ridden in a more comfortable car and the side opening trunk is amazing. My mom has had a lexus GX for years and even her old 2003 GX was perfect. I can’t wait for mine!

2022 is likely the last year for the natural aspirated V8. The GX is a 12 year old design and 2021 was a record sales year for it, I think folks want the V8.

The surprisingly good handling combined with a Cadillac smooth ride is due to the KDSS. It allows a smooth ride even though it has a sway bar the size of a red bull can. It leaves the sway bar connected when the wheels on one side of the vehicle are compressing at the same time (indicating body roll), but disconnects the sway bar when wheels on the same axle (or just a single wheel) are compressing, indicating a bump. It is purely mechanical- no electronics. Very clever design. Try hitting some speed bumps at 35 mph. It'll be smoother than hitting them at 15 mph. These are actually pretty amazing vehicles, and very capable off-road when you cut the first 5" of plastic off the bottom.
