This Year's Model Updates:

The GX has a number of safety upgrades this year that include a roll-sensing feature for the side-curtain airbags, a tire-pressure monitoring system and an optional rear backup camera system (for those vehicles with the navigation system installed). An optional Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System will be available as a late-year addition.

Pros:
  • Luxurious cabin furnishings, plush ride quality, fine road manners, smooth drivetrain, plenty of off-road ability should you need it.
Cons:
  • Very tight quarters in optional third-row seat, limited rearward visibility, modest top-end horsepower.

  • COMFORT COMFORT COMFORT - 2004 Lexus GX 470

    I bought my car fully loaded 4 years ago and I still love it. I have never had problems and it drives like a dream. The ride is very smooth and comfortable. I have owned several different cars/suvs in the past and this is the best car by far. I have since bought another Lexus LS 430 ultra luxury model.

  • A great truck for our family. - 2004 Lexus GX 470

    After driving large SUVs for many years, we wanted something smaller and more luxurious. This fit the bill very nicely. I wanted a truck-based design, not a car-based vehicle. Even so, this truck handles very smoothly. My wife loves driving it, and she hated driving the old Expedition. Weve had this truck up skiing (deep snow) and in tons of rain (Seattle) and it works very well. I wonder how it will do once the sun comes out and we can open up the moonroof...

  • Rider seat not as comfortable as driver - 2004 Lexus GX 470

    The rider seat does not have the adjustments that the driver seat has and leg room is too short.

    The minute you get into the car youre floating on clouds. The ride is unbelievable. I previously owned a Toyota Sequoia which was also a great vehicle but I felt I didnt need to drive around in a car that big.Its the perfect size, gliding ride, and luxury style

    Ive got 15,000 miles on mine now. It is a superb vehicle. Very smooth, quiet ride but not sprung too lightly. Not a hot rod, but very adaquately powered. Drives great. They could improve it by finding some other way to store the third row seats so it doesnt further compromise already somewhat limited storage space. Should offer halogen headlights. But overall, an outstanding vehicle.

  • Unforgivable Oversight - 2004 Lexus GX 470
    By -

    This is a fantastic vehicle, but it baffles my mind how did the designers failed to deal with the wind shudder. The wind shudder when opening the back windows of this vehicle render them almost unusable. A gross omission in an otherwise terrific vehicle.

  • Great SUV! - 2004 Lexus GX 470
    By -

    Perfect! Even the fuel efficiency is not as bad as some other people claimed. I got over 20 mpg on my everyday commute (half local and half highway).

  • Solid SUV with a luxury car feel. - 2004 Lexus GX 470
    By -

    At 32,000 miles the car drives like the day we bought it. Great value for the price which included third row seats, rear spoiler, side rails, sunroof. Overall a better ride and value than our previous BMW X5.

  • GX470 - 2004 Lexus GX 470
    By -

    Outstanding fit and finish. Engine is satin smooth and builds power with additional mileage. Ive been averaging 18.9mpg with a combination of city(commute) and highway driving. Acceleration is strong but transmission shifts too soon (albeit very smoothly). Sports sedan type handling and a very tight turning radius, surprizing for a vehicle of this size.
