Awesome
by Anonymous Reviewer on 7/5/2026 8:59:30 PM
Strong and reliable, it was purchased in Arizona in 2013 and only had one previous owner. It was my father's and it was all that he left me. I cant afford it but the interior is good and it runs and drives solid. This is the vehicle for road trips, its a couch feel in the front, and back, and back back.....but also can fold into a bed in the back. DVD player works. Audio system is amazing. But im honestly amazed, it drives like a comfy tank. - 5.0
Built to highest standard since Mercedes-Benz W126
by jrocco71 on 1/29/2024 11:10:08 PM
I've been a Mercedes-Benz guy for 20+ years. And I've had them all: R129, W123, W124, W126, W210, W211, W221 but I've also had a few Lexus vehicles as well: a 2004 LS430, 2008 GS350 and a 2010 LS460. The GS350 was a piece of garbage; endless problems. But the LS430 was a dream to own. Unfortunately, it was totaled in an accident so I replaced it with the LS460 which was just as nice but required a lot more attention. Of course, when my job required a move to Mexico, taking a Mercedes-Benz to Los Cabos just didn't seem practical so I went back to Lexus for the 4th time since 2011 and I am so happy I did! The GX470 has to be one of the best built cars ever produced -- and I'm talking along the lines of the Daimler Benz AG products of old. The legendary ones. The quality is just stunning. Even at 315,000 miles the car is still an unstoppable tank that almost never has a problem, requires minimal maintenance, and drives like the luxury SUV it is all while taking on the worst of the dirt and gravel roads, off-trail routes and pot-holed highways of Baja Sur. Once you've spent any significant amount of time with a GX470 it becomes obvious why Toyota named this vehicle Land Cruiser Prado in the markets outside of the United States (yes, "Lexus" is a term used only in the USA and Canada) And that's exactly what it is: a mini-Land Cruiser. Built on a Toyota 4Runner frame with the drive train of a Land Cruiser and packed with all the luxuriousness of a Lexus LS. The fuel economy is the worst of any car I've ever owned (this one being my 39th) but I consider that a small price to pay for the comfort and safety of a 5,171 pound truck more capable in off-road environments than just about anything from Land Rover...without the asinine repair bills. One of the key factors that pushed me over the top in my final decision was how the GX stacks up against the LR3 and LR4 models from Land Rover. I've never seen either of those vehicles with 500k or 700k miles on them, yet I have seen -- with my own eyes -- more than a half-dozen GX470s with odometers that have well over 400k miles on them. In the end, that's the true test of a vehicle's quality and the engineering of it's constructor. Indeed, there is no other engine quite like the 2UZ-FE and there's no other SUV quite like a Toyota Land Cruiser Prado/Lexus GX, especially for use in the urban jungle. Whether you're crossing a desert or a mountain range, or just trying to get to work on the L.A. freeways, this is a vehicle designed and built to a standard so high, it wouldn't surprise me at all if this truck is still on the road in 2060. I expect to hear about the first GX470 passing 999,999 miles any day now. Certainly sooner, rather than later anyway. Who knows? Maybe I'll be the one announcing that feat...because I have absolutely ZERO interest in EVER getting rid of this car. Sure, I have other cars too. But this one is my forever car. - 5.0
i love this car
by jkdndjnedniuh on 3/29/2023 2:12:59 PM
i have owned one for 15 years its been the best car i have ever driven. but i would pay attention to servicing the water pump and the belt every 90,000 miles and the rear air suspension is expensive to replace and the dashboard can also crack so i would put a cover on it before anything else. but other then that its pretty good
