Smooth ride, luxury features. After 110K miles it has needed some repairs (ignition broke, suspension wiring went berserk).

Great machine but lacks some touches you would expect at this price...info computer, steering wheel controls, eye glass holder, readable clock and outside temp.

I own one and would never sell it! Best suv, and it last forever! People are afraid of these vs the Landcruiser, but it’s similar with better ride and build quality. Buy it, you won’t regret.

I bought this car being my first Lexus ever. I was amazed, this greatly compares to my new 2002 Mercedes SL600... I love the vehicle

Best riding SUV period

I looked at 2004 Navigators and Escalades. I already own a 2003 Explorer. None of them compare to the refined ride of this vehicle. The off the line torque seems to be every bit as good as the Navigator and not that far from the Escalade. Most of the torque seems to be readily available at the lower end of the tach. The ride is incomparable. The handling is exceptional for a vehicle of this size/weight. The interior is as luxury as it gets with soft leather and burlwood accents. The navigation system is in a class of its own. Extremely intuitive to operate and accurate, with a huge screen. The third row seats are useful for small people only.

The Lexus LX470 is the finest SUV I've ever driven. I live in the Colorado mountains and "use" this vehicle like a sports utility was meant to be used. This vehicle is a fine example of a high end Lexus... Very quiet and smooth. It feels like you're floating on air!

Greatest vehicle ever

My parents, grandparents and myself have all had numerous cars and trucks, naturally. Everyone, living and dead, agrees that the 2021 Lexus Lx 470 mom got with 50,000 miles (now 411,000 miles) is the best vehicle any of us have ever had. And family full of old mechanics born in the 30s to some spoiled doctors with BMWs, everyone agrees.

How can such an expensive car not have a warning for back up like the cheaper Fords and GM cars?

Lexus LandCrusier Beats Cadillac Tahoe

Only the Range Rover comes close. The rest (Escalde, Navigator, Denali, X5, ML 430) pale in comparison in the things that really matter - RELIABILITY, resale and OVERALL statisfaction. A true luxury utility vehicle. Nice try Ford and Chevy, thank you for playing.
