    Looking into picking up a GX..v8 questions

    I shopped for a 4runner and GC and ended up with a GC due to the t4r lacked power (felt very sluggish taking off or having to quickly accelerate to switch lanes), electronics (small nav if equiped) and just was too firm on price for what I wanted. The GC has been a great vehicle for us but my...

    Caved and bought a GX

    Sorry I haven’t been on in a while. $28k. It was a few thousand cheaper than other colors. Also I had some negotiating points like the rear bumper had a broken tab and isn’t flush with the quarter panel. I still can’t believe how much nicer of a ride this is than the 4runner. I drove one back...

    Premium gas on GX 460

    So I’ve been running regular pretty much since we spoke last. Mostly filling up at Costco. Runs fine but there is a little difference in power. Not a huge issue as I’m 80% of the time just driving the kids around the town to school or such. I don’t see a difference in MPG bc I’m idling a lot...

    Caved and bought a GX

    Few issues for me with the gx470s was the outdated feel on the interior, possible issues with rear air ride (can be expensive to repair), frame rust, and the third row/trunk space is terrible compared to the newer design on the 460s. Download the waze app. It gives real time traffic, alerts for...

    Secondary air pump no longer available?

    Thanks for the reply. Yea I see it’s available all over the place but not available from Lexus which I hope means that they are seeing it as a potential recall. I have a uni filter in my amazon cart but with all the other posts I see on other forums I’m not to sure if it’s a even worth it.

    Secondary air pump no longer available?

    So I’ve been reading about the 2010-2013 GX problem with the secondary air pump system failing. People have said they have received letters about extended coverage for this bad system but no recall has been announced unlike the Tundra. So 1) I know people have been receiving letters about it...

    Tools for brakes on 2013 GX

    I like doing my own repairs and would like to know what tools I’ll need to complete a full pad/rotor replacement for front and rear brakes on a 2013 GX460. Is there any differences if my GX does not have the rear air ride? Also anyone know the torque spec on the bolts? I believe the lug nuts are...

    Premium gas on GX 460

    Old but not sure if people saw this I know this is an older post but i found this in the manual. Also my wife is 100% sure that running regular won’t hurt the vehicle at all... Guess I’ll just fill it with 91 and dump in a fuel cleaner/additive once in a while.

    I gusss I’m stubborn and don’t want to use a secondary site to upload the photos to and from. The last photo was a screen grab on my phone and cropped within the camera app. I still don’t understand why forums sometimes rotate a photo when uploading them.

    Caved and bought a GX

    Was looking for an inexpensive 2nd or 3rd gen 4runner for a while. Wife started getting impatient about it and worried about how crappy all suvs we’ve seen. Also considered about a dozen other suvs. Been looking for 3-4 months. But thanks to the guy who overslept and didn’t answer my text...
