Lexus GX All-Wheel Drive Capability
The Lexus GX comes standard with full-time four-wheel drive (4WD) across all its trim levels, including the base, Premium, and Luxury models. The full-time 4WD system includes active traction control with a TORSEN (torque-sensing) limited-slip center differential with electronic lock for optimally efficient power distribution between axles. This system also features four-wheel Active Traction Control, which uses sensors on each wheel to detect wheel slippage and immediately apply braking to that wheel as it shifts power to the wheels with the best traction.
In summary, the Lexus GX does not have all-wheel drive (AWD) but instead comes equipped with full-time four-wheel drive as a standard feature.
