My wife is on a trip driving the 2013 460. She said she cannot control the menu (within the instrument cluster) and cruise control isn't working. AI is saying clockspring... but I don't trust AI. Anyone have any experience with this?

Hi All i bought a GX460 last year and it came with winter tires on F-Sport wheels. My wife drove it around for the winter and in the spring I put on a set of factory wheels from our totaled GX470. The 470 wheels fit perfect with the correct toyota lug nuts. The Fsport wheels use conical lugs...

So my 2013 with about 135000miles is definitely leaking at the coolant valley - pink crusties on the bellhousing and losing coolant. I think i've had to put around 2 liters in over about 10 000km (6000miles). Winter is a fast approaching and i don't think i'll have the time to get it repaired...

Where is your cord located can you trace it back to the heat for me? To answer your question, I have heard of other people ignoring the recall once they heard there is no replacement.

Thanks Sounds like techstream is the way to go. I see some options on amazon with mixed reviews... I am working with 1010 keys now to see if they can get it done for me.

Has anyone used 1010 keys for a replacement? Or, do locksmiths have the ability to replicate a fob/key if I have one to provide? Was asking a buddy (not the smartest tool in the shed, but works in the industry) and he thinks it's a dealership visit. I have a 2013 460

Hi all, does anyone know where the blockheater gets installed on the GX460? I just figure someone might know off the top of their head and save me some hassle looking for it. Edit: it is indeed difficult to find, but I found it. If you look through drivers wheel well, you'll see the 02 sensor...

I just went through same thing (our 2007 GX470 was totaled). Considered just getting another 2006-08 GX, but went for a 460 instead. Look at the KDSS hydraulic rams and try to peak at the accumulator which is behind a shield on the frame (passenger side). In my market (southern ontario), 15k...

Very good video Surprised to hear the GX has a longer front left coil spring. Wonder if that is the case in north america

I heard of people paying that amount down there too, but in USD!

After shopping southern absolute cheapest we could get was $2000 a year, which is close to double what it should/would be if it wasn't a "high theft vehicle" That annual fee is with a higher deductible, no glass coverage, and TAG tracker installed

Why I like the GX, is that so many parts are interchangeable with 4Runners making them a lot cheaper. Also a great community with lots of DIY threads. I also considered a QX70, which is a really cool car, best I've ever driven, but there's just so few resources.

After calling every provider in the country, the lowest rate with AVIVA Journey. This is the one where they track your driving habits. It was about 10% cheaper then the next available rate, which was about the same as my company offered. So, ultimately was waste of time to call around and check...

Thank you. Great advice!

I'm not sure if others saw, but the gx we bought had about 210000km. Very clean and well kept. This is what the accumulator looked like. We bought anyway. The accumulator is on its way out obviously - the process of decay cannot be totally halted. I'll try to slow it by cleaning it and spraying...
