Test drive: The 2021 Lexus GX460 is a truck among crossovers
Fox News
The 2021 Lexus GX460 is one of the last luxury SUVs that's built on a truck frame, but the decade-old model still holds much appeal.
If that seems like a blast from the past, keep in mind that the current GX460 traces its roots back to 2010 along with the Toyota 4Runner that it shares some of its architecture with, so it is. The $54,125 GX460 is powered by a 301 hp V8 that’s as quiet and buttery smooth as they get and sends its power to a full-time all-wheel-drive system through a six-speed automatic transmission. It also has a part-time transfer case with a low range that turns it into a true 4x4 and has a 6,500-pound tow rating. The GX460 features a three-row, seven passenger layout. There’s a good amount of legroom for second-row passengers, but the power-folding third row seats are snug. The upholstery is price-appropriate throughout, but the plasticky dash looks its age and has the vibe of a 1980s boom box.More Related News
