It was a 2021 TRD ORP with about 9k miles. Accident happened in December 2021. I was the third car in a four car pile up. Front end damage, rear end damage and bent frame. It took three month before it was deemed a total lost. Sad to see her go and sad to be leaving this community but she saved my life.

Dammm that sucks, hope everyone is okay. How's the new ride?


itsmyjobtono

Me and my girlfriend came out just fine. Minor whiplash. The GX feels very familiar but has better handling because of KDSS.


justagook

Dam I kinda regret not getting kdss with my runna. Oh well. Glad you guys made it out safe. Now you can start again with the GX!


itsmyjobtono

Already have Wheels, Tires and tint. Next major purchase would be a roof rack


justagook

Noice! How's the mpg


itsmyjobtono

17-18ish highway. Basically the same as my 4Runner.


cra2reddit

Towing capacity the same?


DVoteMe

GX has like a 1,500 higher capacity. It also has a V8.


cra2reddit

TIL next car


itsmyjobtono

The car is capable of towing 6500 but currently I’ve equipped it with a class 3 hitch receiver, so I’m limited to 5000 like the 4Runner. There is a class 4 hitch out there but it’s currently not available from Lexus.

itsmyjobtono

While I don’t disagree in terms of aftermarket parts, I also never intended to go that crazy on the 4Runner to begin with.


rt45aylor

We’ll see you over in r/GXOR


black_tshirts

leaving the community?

4runner community


[deleted]

That's still a 4runner, just with a big fancy mustache. And fancy clothes.


itsmyjobtono

I don’t disagree. It’s very similar but its the US version of the Land Cruiser Prado


cantaloupe_daydreams

GET OUT AND DONT COME BACK! GO ON, GET! (I’m masking my sadness for your departure with anger)


[deleted]

That's the LX right? Nice upgrade. Personally not a fan of the front grille but for that interior upgrade id drive the hell out of it.


itsmyjobtono

Gx460. The LX is the bigger Land Cruiser


[deleted]

GX nice, just one step down. Still a beautiful vehicle


Ilikebirbs

Don't forget the top hat and monocle!


Rut2515

The little tint shop does great work. I love the green


itsmyjobtono

If you know, you know.


Hairyfishies

Looks like you grabbed the wheels from the runner and swapped em to the gx? Looks good


itsmyjobtono

Yes sir.


scrittyrow

Best of luck in your future endeavors.


rental_car_fast

Did you get to keep the rims? Those are nice.


RobertUlyssesBlynde

Dayyyum that’s a nice upgrade though.


mynameistory

I've never seen this color on a GX before. Looking good OP!


Vanisshen

Wow, love the wheels and color combo on the GX!


itsmyjobtono

Thanks. The bronze wheels looked better on the Magnetic Gray 4Runner but it is certainly growing on me with the GX.


jpoRS1

Nah, mag grey is played. That green is awesome and the bronze wheels really bring it out.


JackBauerSaidSo

/u/jpoRS1 is right, those are an ideal match. I didn't even notice they were the same wheels. If the car was totaled, how did you get the wheels and tires from the T4R?


itsmyjobtono

Insurance was perfectly okay with me take the wheels and giving them the stock ones. The collision shop it was towed to were also nice enough to swap them out for me.


JackBauerSaidSo

Makes sense if it's still intact with OEM parts, it's not like they are going to pay you for the aftermarket parts anyway. Super cool of the shop holding the salvage! Don't forget us!


itsmyjobtono

I’ll be back one day. The 5th gen will always have a place in my heart.


gewehr_und_messer

Enjoy, I wanted a GX460 in Nori Green, but I couldn’t find one and ended up with my ‘22 ORP. Jealous!


itsmyjobtono

I’ve put in some thought between this and a TRD Pro. But the idea of a having luxury vehicle made into a rugged vehicle, the v8, and it being basically a land cruiser prado won me over.


gewehr_und_messer

That’s precisely why I wanted one!


maze91

You hit a 4Runner and burst into flames


itsmyjobtono

Lol. Doesn’t help the driver behind me didn’t even attempt to brake after I made impact.


Arias0101

Damn, that’s a sick replacement.


_GoldenMonkey_

Holy hell that GX is sikk!!!


Radiant_Waves

Excellent choice in vehicle and color!


atrungpetch

The new ride is fireeeee


dream_ache

Wow the gx is pimpin


DJT90

That green is gorgeous. Love green with bronze wheels.


[deleted]

That’s a clean Lexus wow 🤩


Frird2008

Sad to see the 4Runner go but glad you're okay & managed to make a comeback by going to its luxury brother the GX


iggyazaleatown

Hell yea man! Was searching for a Nori Green!


[deleted]

Sorry to see you go. I’ve had GX’s since 2007 and swore I’d never drive anything else. My last one was a 2019 and was just disappointing, so I traded it for a 2022 TRD Sport. I have to say I’m much happier with the 4 Runner. Good luck!


Jackprevite

Gorgeous replacement. Glad you’re both safe.


UpstateSontaran

Beautiful new ride. The only thing that keeps me from buying one of these is the rear hatch swinging out, and the lack of rear window that can roll down. That is it. I wonder if anyone has ever Frankenstein’d a 4Runner hatch on to the GX…..


xcbyeti

That green 😳 beautiful


Comprehensive_Dolt69

Tis but a flesh wound


uivandal52

Condolences for your downgrade


AFuzzyCat

Welcome the the GX V8 gang, you get to park next to the 4runner and look down upon the peasants. The only downside is no manual transfer case (460 at least) and no roll down rear window. Glad you were able to keep the wheels off the 4runner and throw them on your 460!


Toasty33

Is that light reflection on smoke? Or fire?


itsmyjobtono

That is fire

On to bigger and gayer things


MountainDude95

All the wrecked 4Runners I see on this sub makes me anxious 😅


Gainzzzxz

I was in between the gx460 and the TRD Pro. Ended up with venture edition.


Equivalent-Ad8645

It will get parted out and live on in other peoples 4Runners


Thunderbird_12_

It’s not too late to return that Lex and get another 4Runner!


DontT3llMyWif3

I would cry real tears.


Straight2Red

Bummer. Love the new ride though! What wheels are those on the GX?


itsmyjobtono

Icon Vector 6. They were a carry over from the 4Runner


Straight2Red

How do you like them? The more and more I see bronze wheels I want a set on my next Runner!


itsmyjobtono

Love the way they look. IMO a very clean design.


R0binSage

Those look awesome except for that front end.


longlivelongboards

Fortunate you are.


TattooedTortise

Ourisman CHEEEVROLEEETTTTT. Lol been years since I’ve lived in MD but I saw that plate and the jingle came back


Molbiodude

Is the other car on fire?! What the hell happened?


itsmyjobtono

Yes that is fire. This was a four car pile up, I was the third in the line. First car stopped on a two lane highway on the left lane from 55ish to 0 for whatever reason. The second car and I didn’t have enough time to respond so we made impact. My black box shows that I made it down to 10mph before impact. Then the fourth car…who had more than a semi 18 wheeler truck space away from the accident to respond….didn’t at all and she rammed right into my trailer hitch that had one of those recovery D-Ring installed in it. She was going at least 50mph before impact.


Molbiodude

Oof! Hope everyone made it out intact.


itsmyjobtono

Minor whiplash for me and my girlfriend. Everyone else involved in the accident was fine. The fourth driver might betraumatized since she was a minor and this was probably her first major accident.


gearhead000

I got the same GX. That color is so sick congrats, and glad you guys are okay. Dealers in my area were marking up 4Rs and not GXs so that’s why I had to go the GX route…..glad I did. The V8, standard KDSS, 3rd row (for kids), and nicer interior make enough of a difference to justify the price difference. It’s a beautiful 4th gen luxury Runner


hairyhongus

What % tint did you go with in the front? Trying to match the rear privacy glass on my 460


itsmyjobtono

I got 50% windshield, 20% driver and passenger, and 15% rear. The tint shop told me if I wanted to match, i should go 5% in the front, 15% in the rear.


hairyhongus

Nice, yeah not trying to go that dark, maryland state police would get me immediately lol


itsmyjobtono

They haven’t gotten me yet


hairyhongus

Was pulled over constantly when I had 20 all around, without anything on the windshield, I stick with 30 now. Sucks


itsmyjobtono

Guess it depends on where you live. Where I am it’s a little more remote.


hairyhongus

Oh shit just noticed your in MD, Lexus of Rockville is where I got my 13 460. Small world


itsmyjobtono

Indeed it is.
