I'm seriously considering selling my Tacoma and LX 470 and buying a GX 460.
But I started reading about GX 460's having transmission problems. The more I research, the more common it seems. I really, really don't want to own a vehicle that is prone to trans problems! And while I am very mechanically inclined, I don't think I should have to add transmission coolers and/or do a bunch of things to hopefully, maybe prevent the inevitable. I hate feeling like I'm driving a ticking time bomb! Tacomas have been bulletproof for me at sea level in the US and at 10,000+ feet in the Andes mountains and that's the way I like it.
So... should I run from GX 460's?
