Winter isn’t over yet. There are many places within easy driving distance of Phoenix to go skiing and snowboarding. That said, winter is a great time to own a luxury SUV like the 2022 Lexus GX. Learn how to drive in the snow in your 2022 Lexus GX 4WD by reading on!

First, a reminder that all models and trim levels of the GX series luxury SUV come standard with:

  • Full-time four-wheel drive with Torsen® limited-slip center differential with electronic differential lock
  • Six-speed sequential-shift automatic Electronically Controlled Transmission with intelligence (ECT-i)
  • 301 horsepower and 329 lb-ft of torque

Winter Driving Tips for your 2022 Lexus GX 4WD

What the above stats mean is that the GX is built to handle winter weather conditions, as well as many other types. Some winter driving tips include:

  • Keep your eye on changes in the weather. Changing weather equals changing conditions – things can go from bad to worse quickly.
  • Monitor your speed carefully. In areas that are prone to black ice and other dangerous conditions, it is very important to ensure that you drive at safe speeds.
  • Bring tire chains. Sometimes conditions are enough to warrant 4WD and chains. Be prepared! That said, your 4WD Lexus GX has a huge advantage in snowy conditions. A tarp is recommended, too. Putting on chains or cables yourself in the snow without one can be uncomfortable.
  • If conditions are too harsh, don’t risk it. Even though your GX is capable of a lot, you need to know when conditions are too much.
  • Carry emergency kits and ice scrapers. Make sure you’re prepared for emergencies, as well as for making sure you can see when you’re driving.
