I own it because I appreciate iconic industrial design. It makes me smile every time I walk up to it. It rides fine. Its turning radius surprisingly tight. Steering and breaks are also fine despite the weight. Don't listen to folks who never spend time with a G. As far as reliability, it is below average. If you expect Toyota reliability you will be disappointed. It prone to develop rust very quickly on door hinges & under the windshield gasket. It is not stable on icy paved roads. CONS: 1.Large but has limited cargo and interior space. 2. Freezing door locks in the Winter. 3. Worst folding mechanism for rear seats in the car industry. 3. You will have to check height clearance of every public parking before going out. 4. Will never stay in lane, constant steering input required. 5. Getting very dirty very fast due to square shape. 6. Unless you have diesel you will have Tesla driving range of 450km.

This truck can go anywhere and through anything. It can also tow my 32 foot boat without a thought. I also like the fact that it is solid and NOT made of plastic. It is made to go 1,000,000 miles.

Why go with some lower middle class vehicle liek the Lexus or the H2? The G500 defines luxury and is used all over the world for military, industrial and civilian use. This is a tested SUV, not something marketed to soccer moms.

Plenty of power, off road prowess in a luxurious package. If you want to feel the confidence of owning a vehicle that can take it all, that it's fast and responsive, this is the one.
