The GX 460 received Lexus’ latest styling treatment for the 2014 model year, adding a new spindle grille and LED swoosh-style headlights. In other vehicles, this outrageous prow looks awkward and overdone, but it somehow works on the GX — maybe due to the truck’s already cartoonish proportions.
The GX looks every bit the traditional SUV that it is, with a short wheelbase and long overhangs front and rear topped off by an upright, boxy cabin. If you’re a fan of the trucky look, the GX should push all your buttons.
Powering the GX is a traditional engine, as well: a 4.6-liter V-8 making an unremarkable 301 horsepower and 329 pounds-feet of torque. It’s smooth and silent…

The GX looks every bit the traditional SUV that it is, with a short wheelbase and long overhangs front and rear topped off by an upright, boxy cabin. If you’re a fan of the trucky look, the GX should push all your buttons.
Powering the GX is a traditional engine, as well: a 4.6-liter V-8 making an unremarkable 301 horsepower and 329 pounds-feet of torque. It’s smooth and silent — most of the time — announcing its presence with a roar only if you need to call up some big acceleration.
When tasked to do it, the GX 460 responds in a relaxed manner to accelerator input, with the truck’s rather unimpressive power output combining with its 5,199-pound curb weight to make for an unhurried but not underpowered pace. Competitors do out-muscle it, however: The GMC Yukon Denali offers up 420 hp from its much bigger 6.2-liter V-8; the Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit pumps out 360 hp from its 5.7-liter Hemi V-8; and even the Land Rover LR4 comes up with 340 hp from its smaller, supercharged 3.0-liter V-6.
The GX does have the ability to tow 6,500 pounds. That bests the rating of the Jeep Grand Cherokee but falls short of the abilities of a Yukon or LR4.
