GX Performance Features
Five-Speed Automatic Transmission
The GX is powered by a five-speed automatic Electronically Controlled Transmission (ECT).
Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System
For superior off-road handling, the available Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (KDSS) frees the stabilizer bar so each wheel can respond to its terrain separately.
Hill-Start Assist Control
Before climbing a steep hill, Hill-start Assist Control (HAC) [1] helps prevent the GX from rollback during the driver's movement from brake to accelerator.
Ultra-Low Emission Vehicle
The GX meets all the requirements to make it a certified Ultra-Low Emission Vehicle (ULEV II).
263-hp V8 With 4WD
The GX is powered by a V8 with 263 horsepower [2] and 323 lb-ft of torque [2].
4WD With TORSEN®
Full-time 4WD features TORSEN® limited-slip center differential [3] for greater uphill agility.
Rear Adjustable Height Control
Rear Adjustable Height Control (RAHC) allows the GX to be raised 1.6 inches for increased clearance or lowered 0.8 inches for easier loading and unloading.
Ventilated Disc Brakes
These disc brakes are ventilated to help dissipate heat and improve braking performance.
Variable Valve Timing
Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i) continuously adjusts the engine's intake valves to provide optimum power at any speed.
Rear Air Suspension
The Rear Air Suspension with auto leveling has air springs for an extra comfortable ride, no matter what the terrain.
Downhill Assist Control
Downhill Assist Control (DAC) [4] administers braking as needed when the GX descends a steep hill, helping to provide an even downhill speed.
Speed-Sensitive Steering
The GX features an engine-speed-sensing, power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering system.
