Great looking suv, OP. They need to update the interior though. It looked dated in the 2001 ES models and hasn't aged well. But they are built like a brick shithouse and very capable.

I just wanted a V8 and I guarantee the redesign won't have one. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: V8 That's why. I can't lie that the V8 and 6-speed plus the 6500lb tow capacity was a big part of why I bit the bullet. Also, after having the wife's AWD RAV4 for a winter it is really nice not having to mess with switching into and out of 4WD. That is especially true on just partly snow/ice covered roads. |

I worked at a Lexus dealership in 2013. We had a all employee meeting every morning, kind of like a pep rally. The service manager told us at every meeting that if we have a customer standing in front of us to give them anything they wanted and he meant it. This applied to everyone including the janitor. The customer service is over the top. Fresh baked cookies all day, deli sandwiches served to the customers at lunch, all the soda and bottled water you care to drink, wine on certain occasions. It's first class!
I bought my first Lexus this year, not because of the beautiful grill but the great quality and resell. |

Local dealer has a silver one with black grille but it’s got that really light interior and that’s not for me. They’re super tempting though. |

I really don't care if it's 16-17mpg though as I'll likely only put 3-5K miles on it per year at most. |

Congrats!!!! Get on GXOR Facebook group and some of the GX/LX FB groups, also hop on ih8mud for anything and everything about our platform. I've owned three 4Runners (3rd, 4th, and 5th) and currently on my second 470. It's got 33" Cooper MT's with level 8 17X9's waiting to go on if I ever get time to put the lift on. The 460 grill can look good if you get an aftermarket front bumper.

Quote HistoryQuoted: My 470 gets about 15-17 lol. My 06 T4R with the 4.7 got between 18-20. She's a heavy unaerodynamic brick, but she will go anywhere. And OP, don't feel like you HAVE to run premium fuel. Run a few tanks if 87 and see how that 4.6 does before wasting a ton on premium. I put premium in all of my vehicles because fuck ethanol and realistically with how much we drive it may to $50/yr extra for fuel. I don't FB but I am on ih8mud and clublexus now. |

We live in the flat desert and don’t really climb anything much bigger than a curb. What really concerns me is some distracted driver running a red light and my GX going over their car while my daughter is driving and it flips.
