The Lexus GX460 is a popular choice for overlanders; recent examples on our forum include a 2012, 2015, and heavily modified 2018. This body-on-frame SUV (underpinned by the legendary Toyota Prado) is a desirable blend of all-terrain capability, luxury, reliability, and comfort and will perform both as a daily driver and as an around-the-world travel companion. In the past, Lexus 4WDs were somewhat underappreciated by the overlanding community despite being underpinned by their desirable Toyota counterparts, but this has since changed. With the support of the aftermarket, they have achieved a cult-like following and can be transformed into pinnacle overland rigs (reference builds from Backroad Exploration, CBI Offroad Fab, and Pureaddict). Cue today’s low mileage 2015 Lexus GX460 (89,000 miles), which has been tastefully upgraded to perform as both a luxurious daily driver and capable backcountry travel rig. If you’d like to better understand the merits of this platform for travel, then listen to Bryan Dorr from Exploring Elements on the Overland Journal Podcast or reference this comprehensive build series from Lifestyle Overland.
From the Seller:
“I’m selling my reliable, capable, and comfortable 2015 Lexus GX460. All modifications/accessories are included in the sale, along with most original stock items if I have them. I believe this is the Luxury trim with front heated and cooled seats, an electric third row, a Mark Levinson stereo, three-zone HVAC [heating, ventilation, air-conditioning], and rear heated seats. The air-conditioning blows ice cold—too cold, according to my wife. I’ve never had any issues with the GX.”
