Any Feature Changes Between 2022 and 2023 Models?
Hi All,
I may be selling my 2016 GX to my son and could be in the market for a 2022 or 2023 Luxury model.
I'm looking at a used 2022 and was wondering if there were any feature changes between the 2022 and 2023 models.
I tried to post in the FAQ, but it's locked and the last post in the thread is before the 2023's were released.
Thanks for the help.
Steve

I don’t believe so but I could be wrong, pending someone else chiming in.
I know the biggest change was the introduction of Apple CarPlay/updated media deck in 2022, but that wasn’t your question.

I thought all Luxury models included Mark Levinson, so that's something to keep an eye on for sure.
Not interested in the Black Line Edition either, so I'm good to go with the 2022's.

How long will they keep making the 2023 model - trusted and reliable?
I'm interested in getting a very reliable vehicle that I know will last at least 10 years and that's easy to work on. I figured I should buy the 2023 model with the trusted engine, transmission and all the other parts. Rather than get the 2024 complicated vehicle.
How long will they keep making the 2023 model for dealer lots? I think Lexus might even have some incentives to get the GX and 4% financing.

IDK if I would consider the GX easy to work on. At least not the motor. Its crammed in the engine bay pretty tight so there isnt a ton of space around it. My F150 Ecoboost is easier to work on.
Also, consider how crappy Toyota's fastners are with regards to corrosion and that also means its not so easy sometimes. I bought my 2011 with 72k miles and very minimal, if any, rust and it already had multiple snapped bolts from the dealer services. I have had issues with multiple other bolts since then, some snapped and some just gave me hell getting out. I put anti-seize on pretty much every bolt I take out now at this point because its that bad.
Oil changes are annoying with the filter housing, but I will say that its nice that they put drain and fill holes on everything(trans, t-case, and diffs). That makes doing most of the fluids fairly easy.

I could never get the GX balanced or aligned right ( brand new Michelin Touring HP - OEMs ) be it at the dealer ( multiple alignments and road force balances ) or specialty tire shops.. which ended up costing me ~$1400 worth of tires wasted ( uneven wear .. ) + $300 ( alignment and road force ) at the dealer.. + ~$300 in alignments / road force at multiple Indy tire shops in less than a year 
Got the Michelin Defender LTX M/S installed recently at Discount Tire ( another ~ $1300 + alignment $90 ) and its been tracking straight mostly (~1200 miles on them ) and almost no vibration ( 55-70 mph ) for now..

Then my 2021 GX460 with 18" Bridgestones was fine. Not the best tires, but dead smooth and zero vibration or pull issues. Later, bought a 2023 LX600 with the 22" Dunlops. Horrible shuddering shivering. Dealer did road force twice. Lexus corporate offered to buy a "different brand of tires". Installed Bridgestones. It was still shuddering and shaking. Gave up, and traded down to a 2023 GX460 with the 19" Dunlops. It's SOOO much smoother than the LX, until you hit various road textures, and the junk Dunlops just go bipolar and shiver all over.
They're VERY sensitive to tires, for sure. And some, like the LC/LX, can have incurable driveline shudders. 1000 miles in, my '23 GX460 is still great, just giving it a moment until I have time to decide what to do with these brittle Dunlops and improve the ride--but it's workable for now.

This platform and the larger LC/LX platform are SO strange and can vary truck to truck from being either dead smooth to shaking like a broken horse, through multiple sets of tires. It's strange. I went through 3 sets of brand new tires, road force balances, 2 sets of wheels, multiple suspension & steering parts on a 2000 LX470, and could never cure a vibration.

10 years?!! Just 10 years?! If you just want 10 years you don't need to get a 2023, consider getting a CPO 2017-2020 if you don't care about the newer tech. No problem a 2017 will last until 2033 and almost certainly beyond it. My Daily Driver is an IS250awd that lived in the salted winter roads of the northeast for its first 12 years is now well into its 16th year of operation, and that is a less reliable car than the GX.

Yeah, I just threw 10 years out there because I currently have a 2018 Audi Q5 that I feel like it's a ticking time bomb! Drives great though. But I did have a Lexus ES before that lasted 15 years before someone hit it in an accident.
Been asking around and seems like there will still be a good supply of GX460's until around Jan-March? I guess if I haven't decided by that time and/or haven't figured out the funds for a down payment by then, I can always look for a CPO such as a 2020-2021 model next year.

New Member - Thoughts on Current GX Pricing?
Good Evening,
I am a new member and wanted to say hello.
I have owned a gamete of cars and SUV's over the years and have recently been looking at a new (or close to it) GX.
I have a '22 4Runner Limited that we don't drive too frequently (only have about 6,400 miles on it) and thinking about adding a GX to the fray.
I am interested in people's thoughts about the prices of the current GX with the introduction of the 550s. The new model looks sharp with the right options.
Is it pretty much a general consensus that the 460s are going to get hit pretty hard once the new one is out and about and everyone that wants one has one?
Thanks.

No logic to your last paragraph ... has never been the case with past GX or 4-Runner model refresh. Not everyone wants the next new shiny thing ... unproven first year release ... with the current platform being fully vetted as bulletproof reliable with a V8 engine.
