While buyers might not expect serious off-road capabilities from a Lexus, the GX460 -- which shares a platform with the Toyota 4Runner -- can go just about anywhere. Its rugged body-on-frame construction does, however, compromise on-road ride and handling characteristics.
Now in its second generation, the GX460 features a 301-horsepower 4.6-liter V8 and a six-speed automatic transmission. Acceleration is middling at 7.2 seconds to 60 mph, and fuel economy is what you might expect: 15 mpg in the city and 20 mpg on the highway.
