What kind of car is the 2012 Lexus GX 460?
Because the 2012 Lexus GX 460 is a body-on-frame SUV, it drives more like a truck than car-based crossovers. Still, the GX manages to impress with a refined, smooth ride and respectable handling.
How much gas does a Lexus 460 need?
There is a 23 gallon gas tank, which is needed for its 13/15 MPG rating. Ideally you can drive about 250 miles on a single tank of gas. But take into consideration traffic and weather conditions, and the likely rise in gas prices, and the bottom line cost of owning a Lexus 460 has the potential to rise by about 9 percent or more.
Is the Lexus GX 460 the same car as the 4Runner?
Bought 2012 white with sepia leather and could not be happier. I owned a 2012 4runner for a year prior and upgraded to the GX…there is no comparison between the two vehicles…the Lexus is superior in every way…baffled how others say they are the same vehicles!
What’s the towing capacity on a Lexus GX 460?
The GX 460 needs only 114 feet to stop from 60 mph, which is impressive for a vehicle that heavy. Maximum towing capacity remains at 6500 pounds. Crawl Control is available and can be set to keep the SUV at ultra-low crawling speeds while off-roading. In addition, the Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (KDSS) is now standard equipment.
