My '04 GX470 has only 148k on it, and i have no doubt it'll go at least another 200k. Its also "comforting" to know it'll blow the doors off the police ford explorers. With regard to fuel economy, i use a fuel tab supplement and consistantly get 19 to 20 around town and 23 on the highway at 70. I have gotten as high as 24.5 when using high grade fuels. If I had to replace it, the only vehicle I would consider would be a v8 Tundra

There are two problems: Air conditioning. And the air suspension. I like the car anyway, but these two problems are a killer. We can not keep the car cooled. The mechanic says we must remove the dashboard to find the leak. Lots of man-hours. The air suspension has gone haywire. I think a mechanical kit is warranted. HELPf. ADVICE please.

I purchased this 8 months ago with 219,000 miles. One owner but no real Carfax since about 30,000. I made a great deal that included a new timing belt / water pump kit and thermostat. I have fixed a number of small problems myself. Every time I drive this car I find myself marvelling what a fantastic driving experience! When I bought it, my plan was to decide whether to flip this or keep and sell my truck. I kept all of our 3 cars. Honestly, I have fixed or replaced a lot of stuff that had been neglected. That included a new updated driveshaft, radiator, cv axle, front wheel bearing / hub and battery. At this point and with 221,000 miles, I would drive this with confidence across the country if I had to. Long story short, out of 81 vehicle's in my lifetime, this is absolutely the best.....even over several new purchases.
