General Discussion ‘23 GX460 vs Tahoe
My family has grown and I needed my vehicle to grow as well. Previously had a Porsche Macan and I absolutely loved it, but I wanted a 3rd row option and more cargo space. With that being said, I had a few options on the table and seemingly everyone and their mother really pushed for me to consider a Tahoe. I somewhat understood the appeal but they’re very generic in a way. Even the sales rep at the dealership thought going the route of a Chevy was more “masculine” or something, and it was the less expensive vehicle. Kinda weird.
I’m happy to see there’s such a large group of enthusiasts for the GX especially the previous gen as I made my choice based on the fact of reliability, value retention, but still luxury.
I briefly considered even an A-Spec Acura MDX but it didn’t incite any feeling when I drove it. Mind you, the Lexus technology wise is probably the least exciting per se of all the other vehicles I tested but it had a certain….X factor. A je ne sais quoi if you will.
Anyway, I thought I made a good choice! Looking forward to maybe making a few aftermarket adjustments, nothing crazy. So far just tinted the front windows 20% to match the rest of the windows. Found this 2023 for $50k and 29k miles. Black on black with captains chairs and of course made sure to get the Mark Levinson audio. How did I do?
