Talk about a luxury vehicle! This is the first Lexus I've owned and I'm very impressed. I like the fact that there was only 3 main options to this and everything else was standard. It made shopping for this so much easier.

Excellent all the way around. Test drove every other competitor. including Avaitor, Sequoia, Escalade, Yukon, MDX, Mercedes, BMW & Volvo. Lexux wins hands down. Comfort, luxury, fit & finish, and most importantly, my wife loves it! She loves the driver's visibility, and the fact that it drives like a car. I can change the setting to "sport" ride, and enjoy driving it my way too. What a great compromise. She hated the clunkiness of the Escalade & Yukon, and loves the smooth shifting & total confidence of the safethy features & driveability. We will treasure this vehicle for years to come. Finally, an SUV we both love.

2003 GX470 approaching 20 years and 400k miles. Bought new. Best of cars. We’ll maintained and costs about 2 car payments per year. Looking for new rear shocks to replace old. Happy camper!

I bought a 2003 Lexus GX 470 in 2016 that already had 215000 miles on it. I had all of the gaskets replaced, along with the front brakes, and this beauty is super smooth and safe. Its AWD and 4WD, though I just leave it in AWD. Smooth as silk ride and still has a glossy finish to the paint. Gorgeous Sand Gold color. I have taken it up hills on dirt roads where trucks had to go into 4 wheel drive, but I did not. Reliable, safe, and like a tank it just keeps going. I just watched the odometer turn 272000 miles today. I did have to put new tires on it last week. Love it. Update. At 291000 miles, I have had to replace the power steering box and shocks. The original estimate for the power steering works package was 2,800$, but I down-graded to a refurbished box for 1600$. New shocks were 1300$. Most of the expense was labor and taxes. Total was right near 3000$, but when you do not have a car payment, you do expect repair costs. Had to replace the original alternator at 298,000 miles at a cost of 400$. I just passed 300,000 miles about 2 weeks ago. I have now put over 85,000 miles on this vehicle in 8 years. I have a total of about 5000$ in repairs, which is not bad considering I only paid 2500$ for the car. Still rides, runs and looks great.

I moved from a Mercedes E class to an SUV. Bought this after looking at other mid-size SUVs (wanted a 3rd row). Came down to this and the Acura MDX. No comparison in the comfort, despite Acura's very high reviews. This drives more like a truck, but it is smooth as a Lincoln in there and VERY comfortable. Nearly silent on the hwy. Note: when the rear seats are folded up, there are definite blind spots, as they block the rear side windows, so be cautious.
