3 time Lexus owner
After leasing 2 RX300's over the last six years, this is a BIG step up. The deal was outstanding but the vehicle really sold itself. Comfort, power and looks all in one package. I would highly recommend this vehicle to anyone in the market for a mid to large size SUV. You won't go wrong.
Love my Lexus
Great car, however hunts for gears while crusing at 80mph plus up and down hilly terrain. Nothing a supercharger wouldn't fix! I hope TRD is reading this.

2004 GX 470 Well worth the price loaded
The GX470 has a surprisingly quiet and smooth ride for a large vehicle. The suspension allows very comfortable turns at relatively high speeds. The Mark Levinson audio and DVD are a dream. The navigation is very capable but must be programmed with hand brake on. I dont know why a passenger is not allowed to program it on the go. Power is adequate but sure would be nice to have some more.
Great overall but really thirsty!
Lexus just has a feel and style that can't be beat. The GX470 is a great overall vehicle but has terrible fuel mileage. I average around 13 MPG. The ride is exceptional on highways but a little top heavy around town and on curvy country roads. It is as quiet as you would expect a Lexus to be. Towing is amazing with the Class V hitch. The Mark Levinson sound system is absolutely incredible.
Mixed Emotions
This is my second Lexus, previously owned GS 430, but my 4th SUV. Overall a nice vehice but I do have some gripes. The driving position is not to my liking. It seems like Lexus took the undersized arm rests from the Sequoia and put them in the GX. There is literally no position I can put the armrest in and be comfortable. The ride is just OK, even with the suspension set to the softest setting it's jarring around town. Constantly being in 4wd leads to some interesting noises at highway speeds over 65mph and when parking in a tight spot. Fuel economy... never seen 17mph. The barn door is a major pain when the wind blows. I'd like to see a traditional "liftgate" type of door.
