    This is the best and most reliable car I have purchased.

    This is the best and most reliable car I have purchased. It has ample room for passengers, equipment or both and even though it is an older car, it still has a lot of creature comforts that can keep up with newer cars. When I used to take it into the dealership for maintenance (timing belt, etc.), the service managers would tell me to never sell this car because it is overengineered for reliability and the drivetrain will last me well over 500K miles if it is taken care of. As of 2025 I am almost at a quarter million miles and still humming along.

    Best Vehicle I have ever owned!

    I LOVE my 2006 GX 470. I have raised babies, chauffered 7 little boys, and all their sports equipment, dog ambulance, snow car, luxury SUV, you name it! I have always said, I will drive this until I die or it does. Best Vehicle I have ever owned. I recently got a new paint job and have had several offers to buy it. NOPE! If you can find one in great shape, buy it. They are rare!

    Best kept secret

    Hands-down the best overall vehicle I’ve ever owned. The reliability is unmatched with this 4.7 L V8 engine. I came from a 2009 jeep Rubicon I cannot express the difference in the ride. Not to mention it is a Lexus. I actually owned two. I have a 2006 GX 470 and a 2019 GX 460 and I actually prefer the 470 over the 460 when it comes to power. I had to add a power commander on the 460 just to match the torque. I’ll share this with you. True story. Last winter we had a nice storm in North Carolina. I wind up pulling two Jeeps up to Lynnville gorge mountain with my winch because they couldn’t make it up. To light. I will carry that for the rest of my days. Lol

    Very reliable and strong!

    These SUVs are a rare breed - body on frame construction with all the comfort of a crossover. Only drawback is the 18-21 MPG, but to be expected.

    Great long term investment

    by far the most reliable and safest car out there. I drove it in every condition, and car proved itself in every single time. Whether you are looking for a family car or car that can take you anywhere including true offroading, this truck can handle it.

    Gas guzzler

    Drives heavy like a truck, not like a crossover. Climbs a steep dirt hill with ease. Really built for off roading but because of its pedigree (Lexus) no one takes them off road. Classy interior if that’s your thing. Smooth v8 but...it guzzles gas. I think these older 470’s are perfect for some one who wants a weekend off roader. The price is tight and they’re indestructible. If you can’t find an old land cruiser or just want same thing but a tad smaller, this is it.

    Does anything compare to the GX470?

    A few weeks ago my GX turned over 400k miles. I’m now in the market for a replacement and am concerned I may not find a comparable vehicle. Please help! I drive 100 miles/day+ and value the safety of size, power & acceleration, a quiet interior, accurate handling, carry capacity and reliability. I’ve had all of these for years with this GX. It’s carried bags of cement, sprinkler pipe, soccer kids and it’s been to gala’s. Works hard and looks great! Haven’t had any engine or transmission problems ever! Just regular maintanence and oil changes. 2 negatives - uses premium gas (which is hitting $5/gal. now in SoCal) and I’m Not wild about the sound system. I still think there’s another 100k miles left, but I’m ready to move on. Any ideas?
