He had me at the pearls. Skinny Pete from Breaking Bad even mentioned how awesome the pearl paint job is in one of the episodes when Combos casket is painted this color.
I've been in the car business for years now. I know a genuine person when I see one. This is a salesman you want to buy from.
Thanks Travis, I appreciate the nice words. We are in Hawaii now and will be re-launching the channel in just a few weeks.
I wholeheartedly agree. I would pay extra just to have him as my salesman.
Thank you for this video, i dont know how many times i might have seen this video before I decided to get my own. Bought 07 with 150k miles on it yesterday, couldn’t be happier with the purchase, i am enjoying the ride 😊👍
Sridhar, was the timing belt changed before you bought it?
How much did you pay?
👍🏾👊🏾✌🏾🇳🇬🇺🇸
I love my 2004 GX470 with 242,000 miles. It runs as smooth as any new car.
Hello from Yakima, what a beauty of a machine. Great video too.
Thanks Jorge...now that we are in Hawaii, we are re-launching the channel and should have lots of new videos in the next few weeks.
bought 1 love it. might get a 460 next
You are trully a legit man
No statement can better describe this marvel of a vehicle; "body on-frame truck".👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
that walk off at the end of the video though... just like how heroes don't look at explosions
I own a 2005 Sport Model GX470 with kinetic dynamic suspension (hydraulic sway bars). Owned it since 2005 and now has 205k miles! Have had zero issues with it too!
They really are cool trucks...you did well DPR10 - how do the think the sway bars have helped the way it drives over the years? Do they work better on road, off road?
how is the fuel consumption??
@@teedee5983 Terrible lol. I get little less than 12mpg with mostly city driving, on a long road trip I got a little better than 16mpg, so yeah it's no Prius but fuel economy might be it's only con. It's big enough to carry a family of 4 and all our stuff to extracurricular activities like the beach, small enough to fit into compact parking spaces with room to spare (about the same length as a honda civic sedan), it's as quiet and comfortable as a Lexus GS sedan, it can tow 7000lbs, it's reliable as a quartz clock, and it's as capable off road as any other Land Cruiser truck. Gas mileage may be a bit better with the tires that the one in this video was wearing than what I average, I have light all-terrain tires on mine which lower mpg slightly.
Is there anything cosmetic wise to be able to tell the sport mode from base?
Great video, video actually convince me of getting a gx👍
Thanks for taking a look FishGears, I appreciate it!
Sitting behinf the wheel of a 2005 gx470 right now im 22 im into sports cars and shit like that but i picked this car after going to pick up a g37 i live in philadelphia where if you hit a pot hole your balls hit your chest and this car is made for it trust me
Why he just walk away like that😂😂
My 98 isuzu trooper finally kicked the bucket... This is my next!
Car Theif nearby - 'Patience buddy, just wait till he is done'
Is there a difference between the GX 470 AWD and a 4 Wheel Drive?
Ive been looking for one of these, they are so hard to find in good shape nowadays. Seems all of the smart owners kept theirs.
Very old video I know. But does anyone know if the "pearls in the paint" also applies to the 2005 Blizzard White GX470 I just picked up?
"in 3 minutes you'll be an expert on the GX470"... you forgot to mention the 4.7L V8, full time 4WD, locking differential, transfer case, etc. which are pretty huge features for someone who wants to go off the beaten path.
Hi Austin. Those are great observations. I do try to leave a little room for people to reach out and ask questions. But you're right, those are important facts.
I agree with you Andrew, but I'll make a point next time to spend a moment covering those things.
Austin Elwess Always some dumbass who takes the video title literally. Get a life, fucking tool 😂
JJ Smith lmao!!!
JJ Smith lol
Freally good looking car!! I own a 2008 gray color with black rims! Lexus=reliability
Unknow N My wife and I had one for years and LOVED it!
And comfort
I was thinking on buying the new mazda cx5 but I think I will buy a used 2013 GX460 because roads in my country (Panama) are in bad conditions
Or maybe even a 4Runner. The CX5 would get killed over bad roads, but the 4Runner and Lexus GX are both made for bad roads
I buy, I buy! Oh me, it’s 5 years later...
Hi Joe! Thanks for making this great review. I’m stuck between getting a 2008/2009 GX470 or a 2013 GX460. I personally like the looks/features of the 470 more but the only thing that worries me is the age of the vehicles. What do you think is the better buy in 2020? Thanks and happy thanksgiving!
I'm looking at these too right now. Check the carfax, check the frame. If it was taken care of the age is a relatively small issue. When I decide which to purchase, I'll probably swap the air bags out.
I just got the 470. Make sure you check it good whatever you get.
@@thomdoers3222 Go to Lexus and get a oil change and have them tell you the history of the car.
What's the price?
What’s the mpg?
I do have and love GX but for the end of the world you need a bike. Not a 15MPG car which cannot go 300 miles without refueling.
Question: What about rusty frames? Tacoma and 4Runner frames suffer from rust in salty areas; what about these??
Old comment but the only place I've had a problem is at the bolt holes on for the front skid plate. It will eventually rust though, the Gulf of Mexico always wins.
Where would I order a dash cam like that? Do they have a website?
austin jenkins I suspect google might be a good place to start. Sadly, we bought ours used and the previous owner already had it installed.
I would buy a car from this guy in a heartbeat
I appreciate that Michael. We just moved to Hawaii so hopefully we'll have some really cool videos headed your way in just a few weeks.
How much does it cost to change timing belt on these trucks? Also, should the water pump be changed at the same time when the TB is changed?
$1800 and YES. An independent shop might get you closer to $1000, but the water pump is a cheap swap once you're already in there.
The Fast Lane with Joe Tunney Thanks!
The Fast Lane with Joe Tunney I just got a quote to have TB, WP, two front rotors with brake assembly for $950. Just thought I’d post this so other folks know what to compare with these days.
Will Chu is your price $950 includes all parts and service ?
Toro Cars Yes!
Would you be concerned if previous owner replaced timing belt but NOT the water pump? Is it risky to push pumps to 200k?
The water pump is so cheap to replace when you do the T-Belt, it was dumb not to do it. However, water pumps can last a LONG time so you might make it until the T-Belt needs to be changed again.
You guys are so right. Why didnt they change the water pumb when they did the timing belt? Water pump should lasts longer but still. Already took everything apart. May as well do change the water pump too. Dumb
I won't be too concerned, I'd just change the water pump.
😻😻😻😻 i love gx
This is stupid review are you crazy ? 😑👎🏻👎🏻🍼
Intereted. Is this still available?
this video is from 2013 dude
Reach me I need one of the go 2008
The white color is called Blizzard Pearl not Diamond White Pearl
I have one just like that it's a 2008 Blizzard white as I call it and it is an amazing color it just jumps out., it came with all those features and I must say this vehicle is a pleasure to drive.
Like it makes a difference
@@promiscuouscrab4040 believe it or not, it does.
@@promiscuouscrab4040 one is a fact, actual name of the color, Upon googling you might learn its a recall color. The other youd be wrong, google the wrong color , and not know about the recall. Make a difference yet ?
"Pearl paint job stands the test of time..." Until it starts pealing off the metal. Toyota/Lexus should be ashamed of themselves for this blunder.
I don't doubt it happens, but I've never seen one peel before.
The Fast Lane with Joe Tunney I test drove one that had begun to peel.
“Toyota / Lexus .. a blunder” ..? o.O sure.. okay..
Adam McGrath had to repaint my GX. Great vehicle however the paint was really bad
@@everycarSeattle blizzard pearl recall
hahha! the car may fall apart in 10 years but the paint will be good... I'M SOLD!
Henry Man lol
We have Land Cruiser Prados in Europe. They are slow. 0-60 takes 12 seconds.
They are painfully slow Sergiu, well-built but slow. Thank you for taking a look and for sharing your experiences!
@@everycarSeattle the 2.8 liter diesel engine is the slow one. There's also a 4.0L V6 engine that sprints to 60 in about 7 seconds. But we don't get that in Europe, it's too inefficient.
The European V6 only has 14 more horsepower than the American model V8...but it seems to be a better performer in the real world.
@@everycarSeattle there is no V6 in Europe. Unless you go to Russia, Moldova or Ukraine. And those are pretty rare as well. But not in Western Europe.
These trucks are not really intended for speeding or for Autobahns
I don’t trust him simply based on the fact his watch doesn’t fit.
My wife bought that Breitling used for $2100, 9 years ago...I sold it last year for $2500 and replaced it with the Graham I have been wearing recently. I made another $800 on the Panerai I had for 4 years and replaced it with the Corum I wear pretty much every day. Watches to me are like cars...they don't have to be perfect, I just can't stand losing one penny on them.
I like but i no money.
I wish the upmarket 120 series Prado Grande version in Australia came with the 4.7L V8. Ours comes with the 4.0L V6 and a pissy gutless 3.0L Diesel engine nobody wants to know about.
The 4.7 doesn't have a ton of horsepower, so people always give it a bit of a hard time...however, it is so smooth and has a perfect powerband for everyday driving.
8.3 inches ground clearance. Even Forester offer more ground clearance.
Foresters are great for a lot of reasons, ground clearance being one of them. However, the combination of comfort, luxury and genuine off road chops give an advantage to the Lexus.
@@everycarSeattle I can already tell that there's going to be an argument so here this guy who is really comparing a Forester to a Land Cruiser Prado page 113 of the owners manual: "If you drive through deep water over about 28 in. (700 mm) in depth, select the vehicle height in the “HI” (high) mode using the active height select switch and then turn off the active height control suspension by pushing the height control switch. Drive your vehicle at 19 mph (30 km/h) or slower."
Owners manual of my 2008 gx on Page 151: "Rear vehicle height is 1.6 in. (40 mm) higher than the normal mode height. This mode is suitable when driving on bumpy roads or through water. High mode is only available when the vehicle speed is under 19 mph (30 km/h)."
How do you do that in the Forester
absolutely don't want light color interior if you have kids. You absolutely want dark interior. YOU have it backwards. And you didn't even explain why light interior is better for kids, which it's not.
We go through cars like normal people go through shoes and we have three kids. Light interiors make the interior feel more open, more spacious. Dark interiors are hotter when you first get in (especially here in Hawaii) and the drive gets started off on the wrong foot. For me, I like small, really fast cars with black leather seats, pretty much every single time. For the family we like big comfy rigs with light interior because it's a more cheerful and comfortable experience as a family. Not every family feels that way, but at the dealership I rarely heard a kid say they wanted black interior on an SUV, like never in fact. The parents wanted it because their kids were messy, but that part is on the parents.
Actually, the Land Cruiser is practically the same car.
Pentium 486sx land cruiser prado. Not the big brother
Okay, so what's the difference between your standard Land Cruiser and the Prado?
Pentium 486sx smaller, lighter, less luxurious. Also offered with smaller displacement engine in various countries.

lol... its a paint recall colored ... LOL, nevertrust a dealer
gas hogs, terrible gas mileage
We averaged 19 and we average 18 in our Mercedes. Not too many 3rd-row seat V8 4WD's get significantly better...they're all kindof low... I just added my most comprehensive video yet of my top 25 sports cars of all time...take a look: kzhead.info/sun/ldRwebeBooWDqKM/bejne.html
4.7 liter V8 7 passenger suv that can tow 6500lb what where you expecting.
@@everycarSeattle I doubt it, I drive a v6 sienna and get 17 at best and its mostly highway driving, maybe if you drive like my gramma with AC off on the highway going 55
@@allenfsanchez9572 sir, you drive a sienna.... no V8 for you, just diapers
الوووو
you been calling it a truck then i heard you say car dont you know you are saleing a suv not a car!
Robert Tallent He is not “saleing” anything, doofus! Just like you, he is entitled to make mistakes

these comments 😂😂😂
Just another sales BS
My wife owned one of these for years...I bet I actually know a bit more than most about GX's...not to mention I bought at least 30 of them for the store and sold 50 or so in total.
The Fast Lane with Joe Tunney Joe... are these vehicles prone to damaging the air suspension? Is it a very expensive repair? I’ve been on the fence whether to purchase one but this is holding me back.
@@jaime4022 I just replaced the air bladders in mine, it cost $1100 all said and done from Lexus. Not to bad considering the originals lasted 155,000 miles before developing a leak.
there is no timing belt on the Lexus LMFAO
Just bored enough today to spend a minute correcting your dumb ass. The Toyota 4.7 V8 used a timing belt from 1998-2007 and this Lexus GX 470 has that engine. The tip off is the 470 in the name dim wit. When you're ignorant it's better to keep quiet and not advertise it.
Spike oh I’m sorry!!!! My 08 lexus doesn’t have one then I’m assuming
There's a timing belt, Douchebag. I just changed mine.
GX 460 has timing chain. 470 uses belt
@@AnthonyCioce1998 you best believe there is a timing belt on this car
