Review: 2005 Lexus GX 470

Go to MYRIDE.COM for more car videos.
: This year, the 2005 Lexus GX 470 receives a boost in power, now producing 270 horsepower and 330 lb.-ft. of torque thanks to variable valve timing. The Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (KDSS) that varies the sway resistance of the front and rear stabilizer bars for better on- and off-road performance moves to the standard feature list and there's a new Sport package that incorporates smoked light bezels combined with a graphite finish for the wheels, roof rack and select interior trim. If you choose to equip your GX 470 with the optional navigation system, you'll also get Bluetooth technology built in. A set of new advanced front airbags with front-passenger detection completes the changes for the 2005 Lexus GX 470.

@jwatwater I have driven both the GX470 in the states and own a 2006 Land Cruiser 120 series here in Europe and other than the obvious exterior design differences, the interior is almost the same. The only real big differences are the greater use of wood, small dual center armrest, electric adjustable sterring wheel and premium mark levison sound system in the lexus. The only thing I don't like about the LC in compariosn to the lexus is the sterring wheel isnt electronic. It is a great SUV.

[jwatwater]

it feels the same to me... and your right, Lexus are VERY reliable. espically when they randomly accelerate off of a cliff. and the reason why? because when people want a luxury car they want something special, not a Toyota with leather wood, and chrome.

[normalais]

@jwatwater Its not the same. They feel very different on the road. And yeah, Lexus is on the Mercedes level. Except much more reliable. Besides, what's wrong with Lexus basing the GX and LX on the Land Cruiser/4Runner? Why should Lexus make a new SUV from zero? Land Cruiser/4Runner are very capable trucks, and Lexus makes them much more luxurious. Don't know why anyone would have a problem with that.

[jwatwater]

@normalais actually, my aunt has a Lexus, and my mom has a fully optioned 4Runner (wood, leather, etc) and theyre both pretty much the same. dont get me wrong theyre nice, but no. and I need your drug dealers number if you think a Lexus is nicer than a Mercedes. Lexus are VERY nice, but not when it's the same as a $15k less Toyota...

[normalais]

@jwatwater If you think this is a rebadged Toyota, you've never driven both to compare. It might be based on the same car, but it is lightyears different. 4runner feels like a bumpy truck and the interior feel economy. GX470 is quiet and smooth like a real Lexus. Feels like any real luxury car. Plus the interior is nicer than in my 2003 Mercedes S class.

@blackl95

i do not believe I said Toyota were the only ppl who do rebadging. thats all American car compaines do, but since this video was not about a Cadillac Escalade/Chexy Tahoe, I ddnt feel the need to bring it up.
