The GX 460 is offered in two trim levels: Base and Luxury. There's a single powertrain on offer in the GX 460, a 4.6L V8 that provides 301 hp, enough for those who need to tow or just run errands. A full-time 4-wheel-drive system is standard on the GX 460 which includes a Torsion limited-slip center differential and an electronic locker to help with mud, sand, or snow. An automatic mode for most driving sends about 60 percent to the rear wheels and can vary power distribution to help gain needed traction.
The adaptive variable suspension system includes Normal, Sport and Comfort modes, while the adjustable height control helps keep the vehicle level when towing. For those who plan to venture off-road, the standard Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System uses hydraulic pressure to help keep the body stiffer and more level on the road yet allow more wheel movement during off-roading.
The GX 460 comes with a full complement of ten airbags. Vehicle stability is maintained by a suite of systems. The usual stability control and brake assist improve on-road behavior. Crawl Control and Downhill Assist Control helps maintain poise and traction when moving over challenging terrain off-road. More advanced available safety-tech features include Lane Departure Alert, which will alert the driver if they were to wanders out of a marked lane. Included within an added Off-Road Package to assist the driver is a Panoramic and Multi-Terrain Monitor with Multi-Terrain Select.
Inside, the GX 460's interior is spacious but with a truck-like feel. The sitting position is rather upright and provides a good view to the front. Front-row captain's seats are very comfortable and supportive, while the second row is adult-sized and can slide fore and aft by several inches. A diminutive third-row adds two more seating positions. The GX's rear hatch opens to the side, rather than upward.
The interior of the GX is awash with, a power moonroof, driver's seat memory and dual-zone climate control. A 9-speaker sound system is also standard on the GX that includes Bluetooth connectivity, SiriusXM satellite radio and 2 USB ports. A display screen with trip computer and rear back-up camera display are standard.

Blind-spot monitoring with cross-traffic alert is available, as is a Parking Assist system. In addition to all those great features, the Premium trim is also equipped with upgraded lighting including auto levelling and directional adaptive headlights as well as headlight washers and LED fog lighting.
