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.

  excellent vehicle - 2004 Lexus GX 470
  By pitufo - April 10 - 10:00 am

  At 75 miles per hour or less, this vehicle give good mileage for the size and engine. The bulbs under the headlights doesnt last long. I have to replace the bulb every six months. As for the comfort of this vehicle, it is really a dream come true. I recommend this vehicle especially for long distance driving.

  The SUV that all aspire to be - 2004 Lexus GX 470
  By haultj - February 16 - 8:38 pm

  I purchased this new in May 2004. I have never been more happy with a vehicle purchase. Everyone loves this vehicle from the exterior look to the interior feel this is as close to perfect as they come. This has great power for the highway and is amazing in any weather or terrain. I have taken this where no other could go. Deep snow is no match. Off road is so easy. I use this to haul and deliver equipment to my clients and I could not be more happy with this vehicle. The Mark Levison sound is great! The navigation gets me where I want to go. Everyone feels safe when I drive them in this vehicle. Fill it with gas, do standard maintenance and it goes and goes.

  Expected Better - 2004 Lexus GX 470
  By mev - February 1 - 2:00 am

  As an owner of 4 previous Lexusand my first SUV Lexus I am quite suprrised what a quiet ride this SUV has. I purchased this vehicle with every available option. I enjoy driving it but I am disappointed with the braking system. I ocasionally tow Jet skis with this vehicle and I am disappointed with the performance while towing the skis and braking is very disappointing with towing the skis. Brakes fade terribly when traveling highway speed and having to stop more quickly than the norm.

  GX 470 is King. - 2004 Lexus GX 470
  By TedK - January 27 - 8:00 am

  Have over 35K on truck now. Never a problem. Drives and tows like a dream. Would highly recommend over any other 4 x 4 on the market. It rides and drives like a car but has all the power of a truck. Tows my 6000 lb boat like it isnt there. What a perfect truck.

  GX470 Great SUV - 2004 Lexus GX 470
  By ckcpa - January 25 - 2:00 am

  Had front end shimmy - dealer replaced two tires that solved problem. Fun and easy to drive. Very solid feel. High winds do catch it and can move it on the road at 65mph plus. Dont like the way the real door swings open.

  Lexus GX - 2004 Lexus GX 470
  By gchance1 - December 9 - 10:00 am

  My experience with the GX has been a pleasant one. This vehicle replaced a Toyota 4-Runner. The GX is not as sporty, but was not intended to be. Considering its size, it is very quiet and comfortable. Initially, I did not think I would enjoy full time 4 wheel drive. One drive on a rain soaked road changed my mind. No more unintended wheel spin departing signals on wet streets. Overall, a very comfortable, capable vehicle.

  Not a Lexus customer - 2004 Lexus GX 470
  By John Gatturna - November 11 - 11:36 pm

  The car is an attempt to align the practical & fun nature of an off road with a luxury vehicle. The 2 dont mix well. Pleasant exterior lines. Engaging the 4 wheel drive is awkward and inefficient; only added cost to an already over priced product.

  Expensive, but great value - 2004 Lexus GX 470
  By et415 - October 27 - 3:46 pm

  I was going to buy a V8 Toyota 4Runner, thinking it was a better value than the GX, with the same engine and build quality. Then I priced a 4Runner with the options that I wanted, then I realized the price difference between the 4Runner and better equipped GX (even in base form--no options) was very small (granted, I got my GX at the end of model year). Plus the GX has great resale value, so I thought I would make up the difference at resale. After I bought the GX, I was in heaven! It is so quiet, smooth, and refined in a high seating position that I feel like Im flying through the sky in a silent glider (though I usually have the in-dash 6-CD player cranked up--the base system is great!).
