Lexus is synonymous with luxury. Their vehicles have long been coveted for their look, their drive, and their comfort. However, many of us still do not think of Lexus as making family-friendly vehicles.
Well, allow the Lexus GX 460 to change that. While the GX line has been around since 2003, few are familiar with their SUVs. Able to accommodate your family in style and comfort, the Lexus GX 460 is one SUV you need to take on a test drive.
I was a lucky girl and a part of The Heels and Wheels event in Oregon! I got to hang with some of the world’s best women and writers and drive a couple Lexus through the beautiful state of Oregon. Heels and Wheels gives us woman the chance to experience the cars as women. Sure we still want to drive fast, know the horsepower, but we also want it to be sexy! Well, at least this lady does! 
My drive partner Nicole Wakelin and I took the road. Along the way was beautiful scenery, twisty bends, and open road for miles. The Lexus handled so well, we didn’t go around the bends we took them by storm. Stopping along the way to take it all in. 
It’s hard to go 15 mph when you’re in this car. I will not deny nor confirm that we stayed at the speed limit.
And then there was off-roading!!!
I got to hop in this luxury magnet and take it where no Lexus has gone…… off roading in Oregon. When I heard we were going off-roading in a Lexus, I figured it meant down a dirt road. Nope, up the desert mountain terrain and was I amazed at how it handled. I had my off road coach riding shotgun and he talked me through it. Let me be clear, it wasn’t a baja jumping journey, it was where a family would go – maybe camping, hiking, and trails. 
LOOK AT HOW HIGH MY WHEEL IS OFF THE GROUND!!!
First thing we did was to go over the “crawl” mode. I had it on crawl (medium) and in front of me was quite an incline going down. I took the leap of faith or rather took my foot off the brake and the Lexus took over, taking me down the slope, around the bend, and up a hill. All I did was steer. 
Check out the video below – I may have cursed so don’t have your kids around.
Starting at $50,780, The Lexus GX 460 also comes in a premium and a luxury version. With three rows of seating, it has room for the kids and their friends, plus your sports equipment, groceries, and whatever else you need to tote along. And thanks to its four-wheel drive, it works in all weather and on rougher roads. The two back rows of seats are collapsible, making it a great vehicle for transporting larger items without needing to rent a truck.
My thoughts? It’s H O T!
How fun! Thank you so much for sharing this! I have to say, I’ve never really thought “off roading” when I’ve thought about Lexus before.
It sounds like you had a ton of fun! I never would have thought to take a Lexus off roading.
Those are some killer shoes! And I never would take a Lexus offroad..but you proved it can handle it!
Thanks Lindsey! It was pretty cool- Now I want to go baja off roading where I need to be belted in and do jumps LOL
This looks like a really fun event. I will have to keep Lexus in mind the next time we go car shopping.
Lexus makes such nice vehicles! I have to say I’ve never thought of offroading in one before. I’m loving the heels!
Thanks Colleen! So many people have no idea what you can do in a Lexus
Wow, you seriously put that Lexus to the test! It sounds like it could be the perfect family car.
So fun! Loved off-roading with Lexus too. You’re awesome and I can’t wait to see you sometime again soon 🙂
Nancy you totally rock- I can’t wait to hang with you again!!!
What a fantastic car that has so many layers to it’s loveliness! I think going off roading would be so much fun!
How fun! Looks like a great event, and fun for the ladies to get out and try something different. Looks like it would be ab last! Great looking cars too.
Not only do Lexus vehicles have the look, they have the quality too, since they are technically made by Toyota. The GX line seems nothing short of stunning, and so are those heels!
Thanks Marcie! You’re so right about Lexus!!
What a fantastic trip! I love how you really got to test drive this vehicle and experience it from the inside out. Also that off roading feature is amazing!
Oh wow, you really got to see what that car could do! It’s so cool that you were able to go off-road!
I always think of luxury, not off roading when I think of Lexus. So cool that it really is so versatile in the driving world!
I’ve been a fan of Lexus since I was a kid. I remember seeing photos of the cars and telling myself I’d own one when I grew up. It looks like you had a great time. Going off roading is fun. We do it from time to time.
Oh my goodness what an absolutely amazing sounding day, I would love to try off roading at some point! x
What a fun ride and a great place to be able to drive and enjoy fabulous scenery. Looks like a great time was had by all.
Ok first let’s discuss the heels. They are gorggg. And how much fun did your trip look!
It looks like you gals had a blast on this little road trip! I don’t blame you! What a nice car and relaxing day!
I would love to off road in style! It’s the perfect ride for glamping!
How cool was that adventure!?! I never thought about Lexus as off-road- but I’d love to try it!
I Lexus SUV is a dream car of mine. If I ever got it, I would never take it off- roading though. It would be my baby.
Wow, this sounds wonderful. We have no car but when the time is right, this one is a nice ride.
That’s why I’ve always wanted a Lexus.
I love that shot with your pair out through the window, hah! It certainly looks like a stylish ride, not so perky with the extravagant factor but more towards the classy feeling. Thumbs up for Lexus!
