[@grisa12345]

Righteous -To each their own, but there are serious compromises with a 200. Most notably is range on a tank of gas. The 200 doesn’t have a great departure angle. As you said, it’s considerably wider (a real issue on many trails.) Both have the ridiculous light gray headliner (though you can get black.) In terms of interior and highway driving, it’s a wash. Both fee like land cruisers. In terms of value, there’s no comparison. I bought my 200 new for $80k, and picked up my 2012 GX460 used for 28k with only 40k miles-basically brand new.

[@exparrot9074]

I love the GX, I hope on the next face lift Lexus fully embraces that this is a true off road capable SUV and gets rid of the mall crawler front end to give it a better approach angle. Their GXOR concept is just on point with the direction this SUV should go. It's a really really good value even brand new with it starting right around $50k, while it's still a lot of money, this is what an Explorer or Grand Cherokee is running for and their is just way better capability and dependability with the GX.

[@Carlos-bp1vp]

They are both land cruisers, it all comes down to how much gear/people you want to carry. Overlanding is by definition carrying a lot of gear and not going too hard off road, so the LC200 is probably the better one since it has more room and more payload for any trip.

[@PatrickRich]

so a note on those engines. they are actually the same family. basically the gx is a smaller land cruiser engine. 1urfe vs 3urfe. in terms of comparing it to the old uz it's actually better in one important way - timing chain not belt. thought I've heard a lot of people say the 460 isn't as punchy as the 470

[@austinw7028]

I had a 470, sold it and bought a 460 to get away from a fast approaching timing belt service. The 4.7 did feel stronger at lower rpm to me. Also felt smoother. The 4.6 may be a more powerful and efficient engine, but toyota trying to squeak every last mpg out of the newer 4.6 via throttle/tranny calibration makes it less satisfying IMO.

[@michelvangordon100]

@@austinw7028 I have had both the 470 and now the 460. I was REALLY disappointed with the power on the 460 until I put on a Pedal Monster (PM)..WOW woke the beast in the 460 and now instead of a mushy pedal that has boring and sluggish acceleration and makes down shifts a chore, on Sport mode, it surpasses the 470 across the RPM band and the high end blows the 470 away. Best 299.00 spent. Really should be considered the first mod. The PM is more impressive than my GS 350 going from Eco to Sport Plus. REALLY wakes the GX 460 up!!

Plus, you can give it to the Wife to drive for a few years, then take it for yourself! Only critique I would add is that fuel costs are essentially a wash due to the GX’s premium fuel requirement.

[@maniac32145]

I thought premium gas is recommended, not required. Think about it, premium gas maybe recommended for lexus lx 570 (383hp)? But toyota tundra (381hp) has the same engine v8 5.7L. And nobody is putting premium gas in tundra.. Fourt generation 4runners had an optional the same v8 4.7L engine like 2003-2009 lexus gx 4.7L. I don't think anybody was putting premium in v8 4runner?:) those are toyota's engines.

maniac32145 I don’t disagree, but am unwilling to do an experiment on mine since it cost almost $40k :). And you’re correct about everything you said.

Just a short 2 years ago, there were rumors that Lexus was going to shelve the GX460. They were hard to move. Today? We cant keep em on the lot long enough to show them. They are a GREAT solution for off roading. I hope Lexus is paying attention and offers a more off road oriented package with the next generation.

[@goonies_never_say_die]

When discussing third rows, you should really mention the loss of cargo capacity and interior height. The ones that fold into the floor effectively reduce the interior height as a result; they raise the floor so the seats can fold into it. In this sense, the LC is much better. If the GX had the split tail gate like the LC and better fuel economy, it would be a no brainer. Then again, the 4Runner almost achieves this. I can hang a 3'x8'x1' box out the back of my LX.

[@flight2k5]

My gx will return 22 mpg on the highway

[@JP1050x]

I’ve driven the GX460, and own a Landcruiser 200 series. The Landcruiser is a much more comfortable vehicle to drive and has much more power. The GX460 feels very cramped and the smaller engine horsepower is obvious. However, the GX460 would be a better narrow trail vehicle, much like the 4Runner. But if you’d be doing tough tight trails, then the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon is the obvious choice. For long, multi day overland excursions, the Land Cruiser 200 series is hard to beat for comfort, capability, and reliability.

[@watuwantt]

This is why the 06-09 v8 4runner is the best. Same engine that went into the LC100 and gx470, shorter body than the gx (low cg), 2row only available, and has the power sliding rear glass

The GX460 is pretty much a Land Cruiser Prado. A Prado is a stripped down version of a regular Land Cruiser. Hence the GX460 isn't better than the regular Land Cruiser.

[@barje.waffles5461]

Not a stripped back Landcruiser version at all. Totally different platform.

[@RPGTKingpin]

Far from it. The GX/Prado is a narrower vehicle with less weight to lug around than the LX/Land Cruiser. And just like the LX/LC, the GX/Prado has pretty much all the off-roading features available as an option. About the only exception to this, IIRC, is the LX's ability to lock one of the wheels to turn more tightly. But the GX/Prado can turn more tightly than any other Toyota/Lexus SUV anyway. Consider that combined with the fact that it's narrower and the GX/Prado can go places the LC/LX can't fit. It's why this vehicle is the UN's conflict zone vehicle of choice.

I looked at the GX460 and went with the 4Runner, if off-roading was a primary use case the 4Runner is more capable with less front over hang and the approach angles are better. Same underpinning as the GX, granted more HP and torque in the 4.6l V8 - but possibly higher maintenance and repair costs with a timing belt vs the 4.0l V6 timing chain. I really prefer the 4Runners swing up tailgate vs the side door in the GX - which can be an issue opening in parking lots when someone pulls in close behind you. I also love the old school roll down window in the lift gate of the 4Runner. Length is almost the same, the 4Runner is 1.6" wider and the GX is 1.8" taller. In the end I just felt the $$ saved on the 4Runner could be spent better on other things. 4Runner 4.0l V6, 5sp transmission, 270HP/278ft torque, 0-60 8.0 seconds, 5k towing, 9.6" ground clearance, 33 degree approach / 26 degree departure - TRD Pro - ~$50k GX460 4.6l V8, 6sp transmission, 310HP/320ft torque, 0-60 7.8 seconds, 6.5k towing, 8.1" ground clearance, 21 degree approach / 23 degree departure - GX 460 w/ Offroad package - $67k

I know this is late but you did get one thing wrong the 4.6 v8 has a timing chain just like the 4.0 v6 and if you look up used gx's and used 4runner's they are actually pretty much the same price so it really comes down to personal preference

@@ericksanchez7787 Second the timing chain. 470's had the belt.

Love GX460

[@glockman9c]

Regardless of pricing...is the GX470 as good as the GX460 for off road?

I own a South African spec (live in Pretoria) 2019 Prado 4.0 V6 VX-L, and its got a rear diff-lock also! Love it, but I wish we got the Lexus V8 version!!!
