Ultimate Lexus GX470 Buying Guide | Top 5 things to look for! |  

Great video and tips my guy. But a couple corrections. The VVTI is definitely better when it comes to a bit more power but also has secondary air injection system issues that the 03/04 don’t have. Bypass kit usually works in non smog states. sport models were available from 05-09. Also available with tan interior as well, with the black wood trim and black upper panels in addition to the grey you mentioned. Just more rare

Just got a 2003 for 4800, 300k miles, pearl white, non nav, I love it, easy to modify!!

This video is so helpful. Thank you!

Great info!

Just picked up a 2004 gx with 162k on it. Non nav, and really clean for being 20 years old. Going to do the timing belt very soon just to be safe.

great tips 👌 and nice GX

Great video and info! Subbed!👍👋

You want to review some KDSS videos or look at Toyota video on the KDSS. You make it sound like a boulevard cruiser perk, which is definitly is, but the main reason is part of the Land Cruiser, GX 70, GX460 and the off road 4 runner is the off road articulation it brings. A prudent piece of advice would be a great working system for the off roader but is expensive to fix, although, rare to fail but the biggest issue is it make some modifications of the suspension difficult. The SAIS can be an issue but there are fixes for that and front calipers has piston seizure issues. Especially the bottom piston.

Thanks for the viideo, i found an 05 GX with 236k miles. Has had the air suspension replaced with coil. Due for timing belt and will need exhaust manifold replaced/repaired at some point. Clean with no rust though for $6400. Thinking i will purchase it.

03 is the best year and you want the non Navigation model so you can update your head unit without needing to reprogram the center dash like a newer one that came with the stock navi. Another plus is serviceable transmission because you have a dip stick.

Bought an 04 Non-nav with 90k miles for $15k a month ago. Stoked to start building it

Awesome video! I'm going to look at one today. Btw tape to aux sounds better than bluetooth if you have a good tape and set your gain levels right :)

I’m looking for 2010-2013 GX, what’s your advice on it?

Good video but I just need to correct you about the KDSS system. It actually has more articulation off road compared to non-kdss because it also acts as a sway bar disconnect when I tire is off the ground it releases hydraulic pressure from that side and will let that wheel drop farther than a non KDSS because it essentially disconnects the sway bar. I personally own a sport model with KDSS.

Is there a comparable video on the 460 that you’d recommend?

I think your short term memory is working well. 👍🏼

The cheapest GX ive found last time i looked was an '04 with 378k miles and was $8k. The lowest miles i found was also an '04 with 55k. Sold for $32k.

Dude you are a stud. I'm not gay.

Great video. I'm new at looking at these. I like simple vehicles. But my commute can get crazy in the winter so AWD is preferred over 4x4. Been driving an '05 Grand Cherokee slightly lifted. I want body on frame AWD so GX is good choice. But I want to stay away from air suspension. Like I said I want simple. Do all GX have air suspension?

Centre Diff Lock should never be engaged on a clear road surface, and doing that is really straining the drivetrain because the wheels cannot rotate at different speeds when cornering. Better to do that on dirt!

Good video! From the rusty East coast lol

What is the hack you keep mentioning for the updated head unit in the like 07-09? I was thinking about going to a Tesla Phoenix audio dash as that was the only option I could find really.

4 months later now, we will see what skyrocketing oil prices do to the demand for these 4.7l V8 engine GX… Then again oil prices might collapse…

Kdss means more articulation off road not less. Unless you are trying to modify it

Good video, but next time turn down the song volume in the background

Minnesota.Is.Rusty! 🫤

I’m looking to get one, I’m just not sure they’re worth it.

I am looking at 2004 GX470, 143K miles with an updated android Phoenix Hud. It was driven by an older couple and has been maintained very well. What kind of price do you all think is fare?

look for dashboard cracks or peeling off

Just bought a GX with 32k miles for 32k.

dad joke: if your not above me what are you? #2 did you hear from D? he said he called you

Found a 07’ gx470 clean title with 96xxx for 20k thinking about it

Rudt, rust

He is trying to introduce a lot.
