SOLD - Used 2022 Lexus GX 460 Premium

The 2022 Lexus GX 460 Premium answers with old-school authority—body-on-frame construction that laughs at unibody pretenders, a naturally aspirated 4.6-liter V8 producing 301 horsepower with intoxicating exhaust notes, full-time four-wheel drive conquering terrain that terrifies crossovers, legendary Lexus reliability transforming 200,000 miles into routine expectations, and truck-based capability wrapped in hand-stitched leather luxury. This isn't another soft-roader pretending toughness; it's 5,500 pounds of unstoppable refinement proving real SUVs never went extinct—they just got more exclusive. The imposing exterior announces presence without apology—the massive Lexus spindle grille dominates with chrome authority, LED headlights flank aggressively, integrated running boards assist entry, and that distinctive swing-out tailgate (remember those?) opens wide for easy cargo access. Chrome accents, 18-inch alloy wheels, roof rails, and bold proportions create unmistakable road presence. Park beside crossovers claiming SUV status and witness the difference—this is substantive mass commanding respect. Twist the start button and the 4.6-liter V8 rumbles to life with satisfying mechanical authority—no turbocharged four-cylinder pretending capability, no hybrid complexity requiring dealer-only diagnostics. This is 301 naturally aspirated horsepower delivering linear power from 1,500 RPM to redline, 329 lb-ft of torque available low in the rev range, and an exhaust note that stirs emotions turbochargers sterilize. The six-speed automatic transmission shifts decisively, holding lower gears during spirited driving or upshifting smoothly during relaxed cruising. Zero-to-60 arrives in 7.6 seconds—impressive for a truck-based SUV weighing more than most cars. Full-time four-wheel drive with locking center differential and low-range gearing transforms treacherous terrain into manageable adventures. Crawl Control manages throttle and braking during extreme off-roading, Hill-start Assist Control prevents rollback on steep inclines, and Downhill Assist Control maintains controlled descent without brake pedal intervention. The 8.1 inches of ground clearance, 28-degree approach angle, and 25-degree departure angle enable traversing obstacles stopping crossovers cold. This is Land Cruiser Prado DNA—legendary Toyota engineering proven across continents and decades. The GX confidently tows 6,500 pounds—boat trailers, campers, car trailers, or equipment requiring serious capability. The body-on-frame construction and truck-based chassis handle tongue weight and trailer loads unibody competitors can't match safely. Trailer sway control, integrated brake controller, and transmission cooler demonstrate engineering depth. This is genuine towing capability, not marketing exaggeration. Open the door and enter Lexus's interpretation of luxury—semi-aniline leather upholstery envelops perforated sport seats providing heating and ventilation, genuine wood trim spans the dashboard with authentic richness, soft-touch surfaces extend throughout, and meticulous Japanese craftsmanship rewards every interaction. The power tilt/telescopic steering wheel adjusts precisely, the center console features substantial storage, and ambient lighting creates evening elegance. This is luxury rivaling Range Rover without the catastrophic repair bills. Three rows accommodate seven adults legitimately—the second-row captain's chairs rival first-class airline seating with abundant legroom, recline adjustment, and individual climate controls. Even the third row provides actual adult space, not token seating requiring contortion. Fold both rows and cargo capacity exceeds 64 cubic feet—genuine utility matching luxury. The interface operates logically without excessive complexity—technology serving occupants rather than overwhelming them.
