What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2021 Lexus GX460

Your GX460’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It runs the full length of your Lexus, from the axles to the transmission. It's one of the most complex systems in your GX460 and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2021 Lexus GX460, you help maintain your vehicle's power. Follow Lexus's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.
