I have bought new Cadillac Escalades, a new one every year starting in 02 . I live in the mountains of New Mexico and am not in good health so reliability and comfort are top of the list . I had never even consided a Lexus . Drove the GX 470 and that was all it took, I traded my 06 Cad. I am very hard to please and I am truly happy with this car. You feel safe in snow, mud and on the highway. Value, check on the new price then look at a used one . Lexus holds its value. The heating and cooling are just right. This is a 4x4 built for comfort and 20 mpg is great when you consider what American 4x4's get.

Purchased it new in May 2007 with 4 miles on it (now has 4300+ miles). Traded in our Mercedes ML430 which was purchased new in June 1999. I drive my daughter everywhere in the Lexus & as a mom here are my 'annoyances': uncomfortable arm rest, not enough/poor center compartment design, unreachable CD-changer in glove compartment, shallow/poor location of front cup holder, inaccessible cup holders for rear seats when baby car seat is used in the center, rear seat A/C but not heat, swing open tailgate vs. lift-up, can only power on sound (not video) from front console for entertainment system - must use remote control to power on. No issues with technical & mechanical aspects whatsoever!
Best vehicle I've ever owned.

Best vehicle I've ever owned. This is what you read most often when going through the reviews for this SUV. And it's true. I owned two of them - 2006 model few years ago, and owning 2007 model at the moment. Replaced 2006 with a much newer Toyota, but within less than a year switched back to 2007 GX. Although been an older SUV and may be lacking some modern features, its comfort, smoothnesses and build quality are still unmatched. At some point owning GX470 may even become boring: it doesn’t break, its so comfortable and quiet, that you start taking it for granted. But driving something else, even for a short period of time (like leased car during business trip or vacation), and then coming back to your GX, quickly reminds why you love it so much. The only con may be the gas milage, but thats the trade off for smoothnesses and power of V8. So yeah - best vehicle I've ever owned so far...

I purchased a used 2008 Lexus GX470 2 weeks ago with just 7500 miles. I love this car! I previously drove an Acura MDX and this vehicle is so much more comfortable. The ride is smooth and there is no road noise at all. My only issue: my Blue tooth. I can hear perfectly but no one seems to hear me! Hopefully, this can be fixed. If you enjoy an SUV but yearn for the smooth ride of a luxury sedan, consider this model!
9.5/10, just a few things to work on

This vehicle is amazing. It has power and is full of torque. It has great pick up and the technology is fantastic. I'm very pleased with the comfort and the leg space, and the rear view camera is worth its weight in gold!
