Bought a GX 3 years ago from florida and it was rust free with low miles and I have no issues. According to GXOR on Facebook the members have alot of these withover 350,000 miles as daily drivers, or they spend thousands making them into offroad rigs. Very Reliable

Simply the Best

I bought an 08 GX 470 for my wife and love every bit of this truck. I own an 06 Trailblazer SS and love it to death. I can say the Lexus out performs the SS in every category except performance. The Lexus is tight The doors don't rattle when you shut them. At the age of 33 I'm really sick of all the American cars I've had. I guess I'm getting old and tired of dealing with the problems. GX 470 is awesome.

Love My Lexus

This is my first Lexus and I love it. I traded in my BMW 530 because I now have 5 grandchildren and I needed more room. I looked at the Volvo X90 and the 3rd row seat was not very accessible, Sequoia and Tahoe are too big. This LX 470 is just right. The third row seats are very easy to fold up and down. The ride is very smooth and luxurious. The bluetooth and navigation system are easy to use. I am very happy I bought this car.

Affordable & Excellent Overlander

Bought used in 2021 with 150,000 miles, one owner and good records. Best SUV we've owned. Put a 3" lift, larger tires, sliders and have driven all over 4 x 4 trails in Colorado. Much more comfortable than a Jeep and very good off road. Yes, MPG isn't good and it doesn't have all the new tech but it doesn't break down either. It is a 14 year old SUV that drives like new. No rattles or leaks (like a Jeep) nothing falling off (like trim on a Mini Countryman). Our Mini also had high pressure fuel pump fail at 5,000 miles! And everyone knows what happens to a Jeep after about 100k miles. A made in Japan Lexus like the GX makes it one of the best. Why can't others build an SUV like this that just lasts?

They're reliable as hell and super off-road capable. Definitely a sleeper on the trail. On top of that, these things regularly last 400-500k miles if you treat them right.
