This is my 3rd GX and I’ll drive her until the wheels fall off.


How many years to "drive the wheels off" 3 of them?

Not that you should really care because you’re not buying them for me…..

1st one (paid off) and drove for 4 years, the screen was going out and traded for exact same GX (just newer) 2nd one paid off within 6 months). 3rd and current was a because it’s a fine arse SUV. Bought it in September and paid it off in January. I will keep this one for 10 years most likely.

Why did you tell us how fast you paid them off?

Subtle brag?

That's not even broken in on a Toyota/Lexus

Because the OT thinks anyone who doesn’t keep a vehicle for 10 or more years is an idiot. Empty nesters that lived below our means for 20 years so we could have a good time. I didn’t mean to come off as bragging just like hey we’re not upside down in negative equity.

Agreed, but the electronic issue and possibly a transmission issue is the reason we traded it in.

Driven 2 Sequoias for 7 years and over 200,000 miles each. Currently have a 2013 Tundra that I don’t think we will ever part with.

Currently driving an 06 4runner, at 310K Miles.

Was going to get the gx but transmission and mpg makes me hesitate.

Test drove it, the old gx feels better. But it's still damn luxurious for a suv

I dont care about how you paid for them or if someone else did.

Just surprised how quickly they wore out.

I tend to actually keep cars for 15-20 years.

Any idea if they’re dealing on these or just sticker since they’re not inventory flush yet?


Honestly there isn’t any wiggle room. I ordered specific color, interior, package, accessories. Just the combo I wanted, nothing special. Wrote a check when I picked it up. Did get it pre tariff, so who knows what happens if those kick in since they are made in Japan.

I really like the overtrail styling, and would love to own one with a small lift and tires, but I don’t think i can give up a truck as much as I keep trying to convince myself that I can.

Was potentially looking at one for the wife but ended up with a 25’ z71 Tahoe that felt a lot roomier.

Also, there’s a guy with a white one at a biz in industriplex BR that looks pretty badass with a lift and tires.

Did they have it in stock or did you order a specific trim?

My cousin has one, it's bad arse. To much dinero for me to spend on depreciating asset, but I'll definitely scoop one up in 7-8 years.

Yep, I'm cheap as hell. But I promise I'll put it on the trails.

In stock, out of state.

The BR and Nola dealers are same owner and won’t budge. The local salesman was pissed that they wouldn’t match.
