2021 Lexus GX 460

The 2021 Lexus GX 460 stands out in more ways than one. It beats the competition in several areas, and it performs wonderfully. We’re going to explore some of its most impressive features, and hopefully, some of them will be enticing to you.

1. Above Average Towing Capacity

Many SUVs of this size have an excellent maximum towing capacity of around 4,500 pounds. The Lexus GX 460 goes further, and it has a maximum towing capacity of 6,500 pounds. Most mid-size pickup trucks have a max capacity of 7,500 pounds, so the GX 460 is mightily impressive. With the GX 460’s towing capacity, you could tow almost anything. It’ll be a breeze to haul boats, campers, jet skis, and more.

 

2. Off-Road Ready

The GX 460 is capable of handling trails and tough terrain, even with its base trim. It comes with four-wheel drive as a standard feature, which provides superior traction on all road conditions. You can lock the 4WD mode if you’d like. too. If you want further power and safety, then you should consider selecting the vehicle’s Off-Roading package. This gives you access to several more features that will help improve your journey.

One feature you get with the Off-Roading package is multi-terrain select. This lets you put your vehicle into a particular mode. The vehicle then adjusts the power, traction, and responsiveness to handle the terrain as best it can. The modes you can select from are:

  • Mud and sand
  • Loose rock
  • Rock and dirt
  • Mogul
  • Rock

 

3. Incredible Safety Features

The GX 460 is packed full of safety features, and they’re all standard. Most competitor SUVs don’t have standard safety features, as they’re only available on higher trims. Lexus, however, knows how important safety is, even if you want the vehicle’s base model. Here are some of the safety features that you’re getting:

  • Trailer sway control
  • Active front headrests
  • Intuitive parking assist
  • Hill-start assist control
  • Rear cross-traffic alert
  • Blind spot monitor

 

4. Three-Zone Temperature Controls

There are three rows of seats in the vehicle, and therefore there are three zones for climate control. Each row can set different temperature preferences, some everyone in the vehicle will be comfortable. If the back row likes being cold but the driver prefers heat, then that’s no problem. The vehicle distributes air smartly, so only the selected zone is targeted by the individual settings.

You can also heat and ventilate the front seats if you want more control over your temperature. This is fantastic for maintaining the perfect body temperature on long journeys. You can also opt for a heated steering wheel if you want to keep your hands comfortable in winter. The vehicle is perfect for someone who values their comfort.
