2019 Lexus GX 460

Sat., March 2, 2019

The three-row GX is all truck. It rides on a rugged ladder-frame chassis and standard kit includes a full-time four-wheel-drive system with a two-speed transfer case and locking center differential.
The GX is tall and heavy and cumbersome in the corners. Still, its hard-working suspension produces a civilized ride while tamping down unwanted body motions.
The GX seats up to seven in a cabin stocked with creature comforts. Aside from an abundance of hard plastics, materials quality and fit-and-finish are first-rate.
The GS’s infotainment system is unusually user-friendly, with logical menus and a mix of virtual and literal buttons and knobs.
Under most conditions, the center differential distributes power 40 front/60 rear and the ratio changes as wheel slip occurs. The system has a low range for slow-speed off-roading, and the center diff can be electronically locked for maximum traction at low speeds.
