We drove them 250,000+ miles! | Toyota 4Runner vs. Lexus GX460 Review

День тому

In one of the hardest and longest test drives ever of these models, we have put a combined 260,804 miles on our 2014 4Runner Trail Edition and 2016 Lexus GX460. Needless to say... we've got a few thoughts to share on what we liked best! Oh and fun fact; over 130,000 miles of travel were off-road AND towing... talk about a thorough test drive.

Why does no one ever speak about the fact that the GX has 3:90 diff gears while the 4Runner has 3:75. That makes a difference in towing. Also no one talks about the torque curve of the engine. That's what matters in towing also. Why these engine make so little power is because lower power in a larger engine reduces cylinder heat and pressure while increasing the duty cycle of the engine. That's why your low power 4Runner and GX can run at high RPM with no issue. The 4Runner has a deep skirted block with a main web girdle, 6 bolt main with cross bolted mains, and windage tray. The heads are large high port heads, and the lower aluminum intake has a tunnel ram design. All this for only 270 Lbs of torque. This is why this engine does not break. So much so that over seas Toyota put this V6 in the Land Cruiser 300.

@mtnslyr 10 місяців тому

Only mechanically inclined ppl know about it. For a layman this is terrible on the paper, only 265 hp, no turbo, port injection and mileage is 17mpg combined!

@tuckerhiggins4336 10 місяців тому

That gearing won't make a big difference. That's like a 4% difference. The torque on the v8 is all of the difference Edit: The extra gear the GX has helps more too

Outstanding comment, Henry! Thank you for sharing these design details of this engine!!!

@yotaman492 10 місяців тому

Most people who put that much extra weight in the 4RNR regear the diffs. You should even really do it after a lift kit & bigger tires. Can't say I've seen a video where they've talked about doing it, especially with all that armor & towing a trailer. I regeared mine w/ Yukon gears after lifting & bigger tires. Made a big difference!

@deepcleannation7367 8 місяців тому

I’ve owned both. I like the simplicity of the 4Runner and the roll down back window. I also think it looks better. The drive of the GX is night and day better, obviously more power, quieter and smoother. As a daily, it’s not even close, the GX is better.

I went to buy a 4Runner a few months ago. After getting a ridiculous run around, game playing, outright lying from Toyota dealers on availability and actual cost, I started looking at the GX. Turned out I could get a new GX premium plus for about the same that Toyota dealers want for a TRD (not the pro version which was actually thousands more than the GX due to the market adjustment add in).

@mattclark1278 8 місяців тому

One additional preference I've found that really matters for traveling / overlanding / sightseeing: at 6'1", the 5th gen 4R cockpit glass feels very much bunker-like to me when looking forward and to the sides, whereas the GX glass is sooooo much more expansive. Without doing any contortions you can see higher up hillsides in canyons, lower down into valleys on passes (and into ditches when in the dirt) and the forward margins are larger as well.

Both are great vehicles, especially when used in this overland segment and they will go down as some of the best of all time for this use as well.

Hi. I live in Seattle too. I have same feeling that for traveling over mountain passes in winter on highways requires full time 4wd. While part time in such conditions should be operated in 2wd , which would be harder to drive, because 4wd with no central differential would just dangerous. Am I figuring out that right?

This is absolutely a great video. You did a great job of getting into details but not too much. I love the fact that you have hands on experience with both the 4Runner and the G so you are not blowing amoke. That gives you credibility. I'm driving a 470. It sounds like many of the interior switchery things you dont like about the 460 are not in a 470. It would be interesting to know how it would compare against the 4Runner. It's still got the V8 and a manual 4x shift linkage.

@SuperSnakePlissken 5 місяців тому

Excellent video. I have owned two GX 460s a 2011 as well as a current 2022 both luxury models, and I have to say it is the best driving suv arguably on the planet other than the LX 570 but who wants to have something that large and expensive not me. The GX is the sweet spot and I love that V8. I would argue it is the greatest cruising motor ever made it’s so smooth and the instant power is so nice especially when you compare it to these tiny overstressed turbos. I don’t know how anyone enjoys those cars I’ll be flat out honest naturally aspirated V8s are the greatest motors ever made.

I have owned my 2010 5gen trail with KDSS since January 2010 and it has run flawlessly since. Only the dealer services it and the only mod I've done was changing up the suspension slightly with Fox shocks and larger UCRs and I had the dealer's front end guy do the work in house, which was excellent (he's a well versed off-road enthusiast). The only other mod was in the beginning when I added sound deadening front to back, top to bottom; it added about 180lbs but well worth the effort IMHO. I also removed the cloth about 3 years ago and had the seats and arm rest completely wrapped in some high grade perforated gray leather. I've thought about picking up a GX, which think are great, except for the approach and departure angles, but whenever I'd go drive one and then get back in my 4Runner I'd ask myself why. Lately I've been thinking about having my Toyota dealer install a Magnuson supercharger. Anyway, thoroughly enjoyed the comparison of the two vehicles. Thanks.

Great video, looked very close at both models and ended up going with a TRD OffRoad premium trim for a bit nicer interior as a compromise on the luxury of the GX. But honestly living in SoCal the way we’re getting reamed on gas prices the cost of premium fuel weighed heavily on the decision to go with the 4Runner.

@Jay-me7gw 10 місяців тому

The main things for me that make the 460 superior are: 1. V8 for towing 2. Full-time 4wd. Its one of the best drivelines ive used for snow driving and I love being able to put it in 4Lo unlocked. It will tackle some pretty gnarly terrain unlocked and it makes moving my trailer around the yard easy without binding up. 3. The 6 speed with the shorter axle ratio. I bet my GX gets the same MPG's as a 4Runner and yet has deeper gearing. It can reasonably turn 33's without having to regear. 4. KDSS on all 460's vs just TRD OR 4Runners. The GX is missing the locker but ATRAC can get you threw a lot.

But I MUCH preferred my 3.5L Ecoboost in my F150. 35" tires and the Ecoboost didnt even notice them. I've since gotten rid of my GX460 and have an LX570 now. The 5.7L is so much better than the 4.6L it not even funny.

Nothing else looks like the unique and capable 4-Runner.

I wonder if there’s a turn radius difference between the 460 and 470? My 470 Has some tight turning ability but I drive trucks to my relative point of view is skewed.

You don't need premium gas. Same motor and tune as the 460 in the Tundra - 87. Lexus markets premium as it's premium. Euro cars a different story - they're tuning specifically for premium - and I can't think of anything made anymore than isn't forced-induction (which almost always *requires* premium...
