I have a 03 470. I bought with 228K on it. I changed the timing belt, water pump and did some other maintenance things. Two years later, I have 270K on it. I’ve done multiple trips to Florida from Virginia and tons of beach driving at the OBX. It handles great in wet weather. It may not get great gas mileage, but it’s quickly overlooked

This is my 4th with the v-tech v8, and it runs richer, you get more takeoff, but imo I think its just been tuned or the fuel injectors are cleaner, in total gives it a wider range, 13.7-17.7, when the last one was 14.-17. Took the carbon filter out from the top of the air box in 5 minutes, and gave it a little more takeoff, less foot pressure.

Great walk through! I have an '09 (w/~138K miles) & love it. From taking it to the gym in the AM, to 1700m road trips, to pulling my boat, to offroad climbing in the mountains of SW Idaho - the GX470 is a fantastic "family truckster". Sunny days to 1'+ deep snow - this rig handles everything ... in luxury.

I have the black/tan 07 GX470. Never had an issue. Garage kept 101k miles. When I changed the timing belt both the owner and mechanic at the shop begged me to sell. They said it was the cleanest car they ever saw (engine/underneath) and were arguing over who would get it. I was shocked at how much they offered. I had no idea it was still worth over 20k! I guess that’s a good thing!

Just purchased an '05 a few days ago. I'm a high end auto detailer and have taken care of this one since my client purchased it new. She also only took it to Lexus for every oil change and any repairs. I wish she'd have gotten the dash replaced when Lexus was offering that but I don't think it had started to crack until after that program was over in 2017. It's always been garaged so the paint and everything but the dash is perfect. I replaced the aging chrome OEM wheels with some satin black aftermarket wheels using the same new Michelin tires she recently had put on. 178K miles but looks more like 35K. I put a new battery in last night as the one in it was 4+ years old and I was getting the dreaded ABS, VSC TRAC, and VSC OFF lights occasionally. None since battery install so hopefully that was the issue. Occasional difficulty getting out of PARK without extra tapping of brake pedal after starting but that seems gone now as well since new battery. I did buy a brake light switch just in case that pops up again. I may also just proactively replace the shifter bushing that's prone to failure leaving it stuck in whatever gear (usually reverse) when it ultimately gives up and lets the shifter cable come off the lever mechanism (seems fine for now but don't want to have my wife or I get stuck someplace). All very easy fixes. Looking forward to many enjoyable and dependable miles. I love the way it drives. I'm still less than $7,000 in after sales tax, wheels, battery, and brake light switch! Not looking to flip it though. It's too much fun for now.

Needed a front hub but other than that it has been very reliable. If the pump fails it goes into limp mode. Wifes car.

The Lexus GX470 is actually more related to the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado than the 4Runner. Apart from the KDSS, the V8 and 5 speed automatic transmission, there's not much shared with the 4Runner. In fact, the design is shared with the J120 Prado (2002-2009).

There are a lot more shared parts than the engine and transmission. The suspension including the rear air suspension is shared with the 4th gen 4Runner Limited. KDSS was not available on the 4th gen 4Runner. A lot of the parts can be brought using 4Runner parts, especially the V8 4Runner. I source the same parts for both the 4Runner (including the 3rd gen) and GX470 from my local Toyota dealer. Yes, surprisingly some parts from the 4th gen 4Runner/120 series Prado/GX470 can be used in the 90 eries Prado/3rd gen 4Runner. This include oil filter (TRD/YZZD3 fit on 5VZ as well as 2UZ), shocks and springs, and wheels. About the only thing not shared is the body/trim pieces. Literally everything underneath is shared with the V8 4Runner (but not the 1st gen Sequoia nor the 100 series Land Cruiser/LX470; transfer case is different between all 3).

I Found a beaut, 07 with Nav, pearl w/tan, but the paint was redone a tad brighter, 186k, and paid at the top of the scale, then had to have the car dealer complete overdue maintenance, then added a $900 repair. The defender 265/70/17 looks better, which is what the 2003 started with. Short tires are just a bit harsher, and these were cheaper than 65's, but you cant use 70's on a 18" wheel w/o mods. 2 real estate women owned it at separate times, the first one kept it tip top, but the lexus dealer who sold it to my dealer really overhauled a big part of the front end/suspension, replaced bottom seat areas, new carpet, windshield, cant list it all. Ive had 3 4runner (LTD 4wd w/Nav), one other Gx, and this is the first one that tracks road so geometrically accurate. It was immaculate visually, and you know it was driven carefully from feeling so newer, and has not had any problem. I justify less of a bargain knowing this one is like under 100k timewise, many parts are new, and was trying to save time from driving all over, and will need less maintenance, also you have less time off work doing maintenance. Oh and NO rust, looks new under the front!

GX is lighter, LX is roomier. GX is simpler, no AHC, LX is nicer. With the GX you can find one without the navigation screen, which is huge. For the LX you have to go before ‘03 to not get the Nav, or take on the complicated and expensive job of doing a conversion. Those parts are hard to get. Tailgate is better than the side open door. I’m either getting a 98-02 LX/LC or GX without Nav. I already did the Nav conversion in a Lexus LS400. It was difficult, but not nearly as difficult as either of these models.

Why is the 08-09 the holy grail of gx?

Minor differences on the interior, and some more choices of color. Also slightly different tail lights, but nothing too different LOL

My brother inherited our dad's Landcruiser 1997 that was in mint condition. He parked it front of his house and someone drove by and noticed it. The guy knocked on his door and begged him to sell it to him. My brother told him no but the guy kept coming back weekly...almost stalking him. After the 4th time he came my brother told him to not come back or he'll call the cops.

15:49… my biggest purchase mistake ever. I bought a new 2005 LR3 when I could / should have purchased this Lexus. That LR3 was a maintenance NiGHtMaRe and money pit. No more Land Rovers E\/ER for me…

Faawckk, yeah that's a no no for me 😂

You actually got the speeds of the transmission almost right - until mid 2004 - they had 4-speed auto, moving up to 5-speed that helped fuel economy. Both are super reliable.

Ahhh! Thanks for the info! So close haha

Inaccurate about transmissions bro. All gx470 came with 5 speed transmission. None with 4.7 v8 has 6 speed. Only 4.6 v8 has 6 speed and thats 2009 plus with the redesign with 8.2 rear diff. 4.7 v8 has 8 inch rear diff. Great video btw. Just fyi

Another stupid comment on LEXUS 470/460 barn door oo boy and nobody ever mentions defenders rear door, bronco rear door, G wagon rear door, every frickn wrangler rear door well at least to your credit you say was your preference, not the car flaw credit on that…. etc etc in general hypocrisy at best

@@BernonCars agree and I respect personal opinion I just hate a lot of KZreadrs found barn door as a car flaw they don’t find the flaw with the wrangler they drive, so comment was nothing personal. That’s why I said people comments in general by the way, great channel and good videos
