The early 2000’s GX 470’s look really interesting, especially at the price they can be had for. Are they as dependable as the LX?
They are all made in Japan end of story. Just make sure the previous owner(s) changed the timing belt. Should be marked on the fan shroud, otherwise get it done if over 100k and replace the water pump at the same time.
Like Tikka nut said login to lexusowners.com and enter the serial number, it will contain more detail then what goes on Carfax.
I can't quite put my finger on it, but it definitely feels more planted and stable compared to our Highlander and Tundra that I sold, or recent model year Tacomas. Might be due to the FT-4WD? After driving it on the highway and around town, I totally understand why some people really like the driving experience of a GX470.
Way better driving experience than those vehicles. I have owned Tacomas, Highlanders and a Tundra , no more for me.
