Overview & Reviews

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.

• Luxurious cabin furnishings, plush ride quality, fine road manners, smooth drivetrain, plenty of off-road ability should you need it.

• Very tight quarters in optional third-row seat, limited rearward visibility, modest top-end horsepower.

  Rock Solid - 2004 Lexus GX 470
  By mariucch - August 3 - 9:50 am

  About 7500 miles on it and not a glitch to report. The V8 does very well in this truck and the Nav is a must have. Very comfortable and completely 100% reliable.

  Couldnt ask for more, true Lexus quality - 2004 Lexus GX 470
  By vety1223 - July 4 - 10:46 am

  This is an all-around fantastic car! Its amazingly smooth, even over large bumps, pot holes and medians. The navigation is very user-friendly, I learned it in less than a day. We bought ours with 50,000 miles on it. I would never blink at purchasing a high-milage Lexus (not that 50K is high), they run forever. We havent had any problems with ours, except for replacing the drive shaft (a problem they are aware of with these cars which is covered by the manufacturer, totally no cost to us).

  Great Purchase - 2004 Lexus GX 470
  By DSW - June 22 - 10:00 am

  Weve owned ours for a couple of weeks, and ultimately decided between the GX and the Acura MDX. The price difference was about $6000 and our decision was based upon the fact that the Lexus was more than $6000 better in every way. IMHO, the MDX just didnt come close to justifying its price tag. The Lexus interior is beyond compare. The leather is first rate, and everything is where it should be. The exterior styling is unqique, particularly because the GX does not look simply like a pickup truck with a camper shell. The thrid row seat and second row work well together and its not difficult to take the third row out. Ride is not hard like MDX.

  Great Truck! - 2004 Lexus GX 470
  By mark v - April 3 - 2:00 am

  I recently purchased this GX470 after owning an 2003 Tahoe Z71. I am very happy with this Lexus so far, and it is a dramatic improvement in every way over other 4x4s that I have owned. I have also owned a Jeep Grand Cherokee (too small, bad mileage). The ride quality and smoothness of the powertrain is amazing and the vehicle is very quiet on the highway.

  Outstanding Surprise - 2004 Lexus GX 470
  By RichardB - February 25 - 2:00 am

  After three successive SUVs, I was planning to lease a Lexus LS430 luxury sedan. Instead, I wound up with their "mid-size" GX470 luxury SUV, and WOW, what a treat. It is so much more than the other SUVs in terms of comfort, features, luxury amenities, etc. that I am absolutely delighted. I am a big man, but my wife is small, and this vehicle is just the right size for both of us. The ride is superb, the handling terrific and the sound system second to none. This is the nicest SUV I have ever been in, period! The only negative is the poor gas mileage, but it is still superior to the Escalade and other large types.

  this vehicle is a must have! - 2004 Lexus GX 470
  By tea - February 8 - 1:43 pm

  my husband just bought me this 3 days after christmas. we traded in a lx 470. this suv is out standing. it has a dvd player for the kids and a navigation system. even though it is a few inches smaller than the lx 470, you would never know it. i also love the way the back door opens. it is much easier to load groceries and packages.

  Outstanding Automobile - 2004 Lexus GX 470
  By Darin Bell - February 8 - 10:00 am

  Nothing comes close to the build quality and comfort of the Lexus. It is quiet, comfortable, and just a joy to drive. The Lexus just feels tight. I compared the GX470 to many other luxury SUVs and the Lexus always won out in my mind.

  Best SUV - 2004 Lexus GX 470
  By Noel - January 3 - 1:36 am

  Absolute perfection in a vehicle as far as reliability and build quality. Rides a bit stiff, but with solid rear axle and frame construction its to be expected. Nothing missing in Lexus plan for a vehicle.
