The 460 has no option for a rear locker, correct? Do they even have the Toyota crawl control?

I got my 2010 460 last year with Crawl and adaptive cruise control in Canada. I'm in the US. Importing it was very easy. That trim is called Super Premium. Good luck!
The GX460 snuck up on me. On paper it has a lot going for it: V8 with minimal econ penalty. Lockable Torsen, KDSS, and off-road tech goodies. Nice interior, seating for 7, and it's a Prado so there are tons of aftermarket parts. The downsides are the looks, the stupid JDM rear door, and LC-like approach/departure angles.
So, given all of this, what say ye? Is the daft 4WD system on the 4Runner that big a deal? How much will resale take a dump when the 6th gen comes out in a few years? Is KDSS worth it (oh, I know there have been threads about that...)? Is the GX departure angle THAT bad? Same question for the LC? Should I just suck it up, but the LR4 to please my wife and take all the money I'd spend modding' the LC/GX and put it towards repairs?

I have a '12 GX 460 Premium
• ATRAC is on "all" 460s from '10+
• Crawl control is available but an extremely rare option. It was available on Premium model '10-'13 and on Luxury model '14+
I am researching how to enable this option. There is an extra console button... but looking at similar upgrade options on FJ forums might need a new BCM and/or master cylinder. There are different master cylinders used on GXs with crawl control.
If you see a GX with the camera lens under the emblem it definitely has crawl control. Sideview monitor is included with package.
Examples below.
Crawl control button is the ON/OFF in lower left of 4 switches.
Normal Downhill Assist Control on all GX's will look like this. This is a model with adjust suspension and rear air bags. Models without those two latter features will have blanks in the upper two switch locations.
How does your GX ride with the lift as compared to stock? Any drop in mpg?I was in same place as you last year. I use to drive a 2014 TDI and I decide to buy something else due to emission BS. I use this truck mostly in weekend and a Tundra for work.
I went to the dealer and tested both. The 4Runner and the GX for about 40 miles on the highway mostly, one after the other one ( dealers across the street).
4Runner- less bulk, more nimble, smaller inside and I found it little plasticky inside.
GX- bigger inside (have two German pointers), much quieter on the highway and better touch of the materials they use.
Now, the biggest difference is the motor in my eyes. The V8 is not big enough for how heavy is this truck (a little turbo would be nice) but it runs like a cat.
Decided on the GX,
2" inch BP51, 34" tires, 4.56 front and rear, ARB at both ends. I still dont like the front facia but i will eventually install a custom bumper.
The rear door is something that I got used to in few weeks.
They are both good cars but until you drive both back to back you will not see the difference between. Good luck. View attachment 1511050
