Lexus GX470 vs GX460 - Which Is Better Offroad - Specs Comparison

[@markpfeifer1402]

I've had 20 cars in my lifetime, and my 2008 GX470 has been my favorite so far.

Was thinking ‘11-13 460 but drove tank-like w poor turn radius. Lucky to find an ’09 470 immaculate leathers & paint & q5k Lexus service records at 134k miles. Solid, stable on road , shorter turn radius. Better acceleration on hi octane than reg. Betting that cast iron V8 will go distance 300k+

My wife and I have had both a 2004 and a 2009 GX470, and both have been absolutely bulletproof on reliability. We originally were waiting for the GX460 to come out before buying our 2009, but were disappointed in the way you really felt the extra 500+ pounds which made it feel sluggish in comparison. One other plus on the 470 is the side cladding, which make it virtually door-ding proof

[@TXGX460OverlandandOffRoad]

Thanks for the comments. Watched an interesting video where a GX470 and GX460 race off the line. The GX470 clearly beats on the low end, but then the GX460 comes back and ultimately wins on the too end. Wonder why they did the gearing that way. MPG maybe?

I have driven both the Lexus GX 470 and GX 460 extensively, putting 370,000 miles combined on two Lexus GX 470 models, and now 90k+ on a GX 460, and without equivocation will tell you my GX 470 provided a superior drive and seating experience. First-off the interior of the Lexus GX-470 was much richer that the newer, cheapen down with less wood and more cheap plastic GX 460. The engine in the original GX 470 purchased in 2003, was tuned to provide superior acceleration compared to the engines of later incarnations of the GX 470 and definitely superior to the GX 460. My wife and I often commented during our rides, that the ride and acceleration of my 2003 Lexus GX 470 was superior to that of my 2009 GX 470 in sport and comfort modes. The front seats of the GX 470 were plusher compared to the seats of my 2017 GX 460, but had less lateral support, and may have been a tad longer, proving a bit better thigh support. The arm rest on the GX 470 models was an independent and adjustable device, but somewhat thin/narrow, while the armrest on the GX 460 is not adjustable and therefore does not accommodate drivers and front-seat passengers whose height varies from design range parameters. The 2nd row seats in the GX-470 were comfortable and reclinable, with amble bolstering supporting thighs and ones back, with relatively useless 3rd row seats that did not fold flat, but rather sideways reducing storage cargo space, or could easily be removed from the vehicle and stored if not being used (I never used them, so they were removed) to permit my humongous dog passage. The 2nd row seats in the GX 460 are perhaps the poorest ergonomically designed in the entire automotive world. For a vehicle that is supposedly designed for passenger comfort and transport, not for carting cargo (Lexus used this rationale to explain their quirky side-swing rear door, claiming it better serves passengers seated in the 3rd row), to have such poorly designed 2nd row seats that are so uncomfortable to sit in for any length of time is inexcusable. They are flat, too short, limiting thigh support, and offer zero support for passenger's lumbar spine, analogous to siting on a park bench or at a ball park. The 3rd row seats are laughable, and only suitable for toddlers and for exceedingly short rides at that, as anyone over 4 feet in height sitting in the 3rd row will find their knees jammed up into their face. The front grill and bumper of the GX-470 provided a superior approach angle for off-roading compared to the overstated and grotesque front-end of the current GX-460, while the approach angle of the 2010 series GX 460 was superior to current GX-460's. I owned the top trim level of the GX-470's and the Luxury level of the GX-460. Got to have the Mark Levinson Sound System, it is fantastic, even if it doesn't have Apple Airplay (which I do not use anyway). I still carry my CD's around (Old School). I just purchased a Lexus LX 570, and absolutely hate the from Grill/bumper, much preferring that of the Toyota LandCruiser (could not find one anywhere near my location). However, in the USA the interiors of LandCruisers are not executed that same as they are in Africa and the Middle East. In those parts of the world the LandCruiser is fitted like the Lexus LX 570 is here in the USA, but to avoid competition with the Lexus LX 570 here in the USA, they keep the LandCruiser interior plainer, less modern, less updated, less rich. If I could get one of the new 2022 Toyota LandCruisers with the Diesel engine, that is the way I would go.

[@TXGX460OverlandandOffRoad]

Thanks for the comments! I too had a GX470 and loved it - put 220k miles on it without a single major mechanical failure. Wish I hadn’t sold it for a Yukon Denali (which I mostly hated). I don’t hate the interior of the GX460 but preferred the GX470 interior - nicer leather and support - though the air conditioned GX460 seats are really nice in the Texas summers!

[@andybub45]

I have a 460 and I agree on most of these. But the one reason I went with the 460 was that it was being sold pre owned by Lexus, and the service history showed that Lexus fixed all of the issues it had. So much harder to find a GX470 in good condition, especially one that is being sold at a Lexus dealer. But regardless of it’s shortcomings, I love my 460.

From my little experience driving both (a 2003 GX470 and a 2012 Gx460) the 470 is easier to drive, on road at least. So if you're looking for either as a daily driver you might want to consider this.

[@LLCoolPass]

You're looking at numbers for an engine but you don't understand torque, car manufacturer dont often publish a torque curve with their vehicle marketing material to the so people don't always understand the 470 has greater torque output during lower RPM range then the 460. In fact the 470 leaps ahead of the 460 in a zero to 60 run. It's only at higher speeds where the 460 because of its higher RPM torque advantage pulls ahead.

Sadly, the prices for any of these used is outright insane. The past year plus, it seems everything went up $5K to $10K.

These both use premium I believe?

I have both the 2006 GX470 and a 2016 GX460. The 470 is the workhorse that I now use to haul lumber for my workshop and the 460 is what I use to go to work with. Somehow I think the 470 has more of the 0-60 mph type of acceleration than my 460 as on a trip from Galveston to Houston I got left in the dust by my college age daughter. Then again I had been her driving instructor so maybe she just drives how I instructed her. There is a noticeable difference when driving between the 2 as I have to Sport mode on the 460 to be able to catch up to the feel and driving performance of the 470. AT 95k miles the 470 is a gas guzzler at 12.5mpg as opposed to the 460 with 15.5 mpg. I got stuck on a decline/incline going from a freeway to a feeder road which my old 470 was able to negotiate before. Fortunately with some back and forth maneuvering and a good Samaritan who indicated to me what to do with hand signals I was able to get back on the freeway. The 470 in my daughters hands was able to negotiate the flooding here in Houston better than I did as I warned her not to go through Bellaire blvd as it was flooded and I had a hard time but she said it was easy. Then again that may be just my driving instruction.

[@TXGX460OverlandandOffRoad]

First - sounds like you're in my old hood. I drove Bellaire daily going to EHS. I've navigated those stalled out cars on the median plenty of times before as I blew past in my 1978 GMC Jimmy on 35s! As for the GX470 vs GX460... I hear ya. I think the GX470 has more pep... there's some videos on KZbin proving it but the GX460 catches up and wins above 55mph. I do miss the Sport adjustable suspension from my GX470 but didn't want the airbag route on my GX460 since I knew I'd be installing a suspension lift. Both great cars though - you're lucky to have both! At 95k miles your first one is just getting broken in!

I agree about the 0-60. The main reason the 460 seems slower is because it is tuned for fuel economy. The target market of this vehicle is unfortunately soccer moms and older people.

Yeah you can upgrade GX460 as capable of a GX470 and its not that complicated but the all features and amenities that GX460 offer can’t do it in an older GX470.

On the 470 you would turn left and basically feel like your tipping over to the right. It was pretty pronounced…the 470 also had timing belt issues and that’s why the 460 changed to a timing chain.

[@LLCoolPass]

That might be so with the length another thing is the height 470 is taller bodied than the 460

[@LLCoolPass]

You got a major error actually two in one spot in your video first it doesn't have electronically selectable low and high gear in the transfer case it's manual so you started to make a mistake and you fix it only by saying actually it's manual in the 470 well why didn't you just redo your video

[@buffsamuraifred6037]

Gx470 has the legendary 2uzfe v8 which can easily be turned into a fire breathing beast with a supercharger or turbo. Of course with upgraded pistons and connecting rods.

[@TXGX460OverlandandOffRoad]

Agreed but then you get into the debate about whether adding turbo, supercharger reduces the reliability.

[@buffsamuraifred6037]

@@TXGX460OverlandandOffRoad reliability isn't really gonna be the same, with forced induction, especially with boost levels above 10psi. No engine with stock internals will survive higher than stock, boost levels for too LONG lol, that's just the way it goes. The 2uzfe in the gx470 already has good torque, so adding forced induction, will help those numbers jump alot, of course with the right tuning.

I like the 2020 go 460

Question not addressed in the video...transmission...if I remember correctly, the 470 has a 5 speed and the 469 has a 6 speed. If so, that has been a huge difference in other vehicle I have driven.

[@TXGX460OverlandandOffRoad]

That is correct. You would think it helps on mpg... but that has not been my experience.

[@davidwayne9982]

No matter which I got- I'd add LOCKERS, spre carrier, winchbumper, armor, extra gas tank, double ARB air compressor mounted unter the front hood, and a few other odds and ends.

[@andybub45]

That’ll be $30,000 please

[@LLCoolPass]

And then you have the seating wrong it's seats 8 GX470 legally seats 8 people with the third row seating

[@davidwayne9982]

The ONLY thing I like better on the 460 is the Timing CHAIN.. instead of belt. otherwise- I like the 470 better.. because it DOES NOT have the fancy crap on it- and I like a STICK to change 4x4 action- not damn KNKOBS..

[@davidwayne9982]

THAT BUTT UGLY front end is more than just an eyesore!!!! It's a big disadvantage on angle of approach etc. plus it's just BUTT UGLY... I could cut it at the skinniest point- and put one of the special bumpers on with winch- etc. that is made to fit that.. Stealth i think it's called... and more..

Yeah we get it you hate the 460, don’t have to make 90 comments about it

[@davidwayne9982]

@@andybub45 I do NOT hate the 460- just wish they hadn't overdone the tech.. I like the stick etc.. but it's a GREAT vehicle- especially since the 470s are all about gone (the ones with NO rust I mean..).. and I was MISTAKEN on the idea that they had split tailgate-- that was the LX I was thinking about..

Ósea ovio que la GX470 es mejor hello

[@prtube1]

For all I have seen and how old the 470’s are getting already, my choice is clear the GX 460 in my opinion is the way to go. It come with all you need and more for off-roading and looks like up to 2019 you can add crawl control to the ones that didn’t come with it from factory and that can’t be beat.

[@TXGX460OverlandandOffRoad]

They’re both great rigs! I’ve had both and currently drive the GX460. Love it! I’m not a huge fan of crawl control - prefer my foot instead for better control - but ur right that its easy to install. Plug and play! Thanks for the comment! 👍

[@davidwayne9982]

Personally I think the 460 has that BUTT UGLY front end---and FAR too much"technology"-- too much computer shit to go WRONG..and it uses MORE GAS than the 470. Before anyone gets all pissed off- it's JUST my opinion.. but I wouldn't give you a 470 for a dozen 460s.. (unless I could sell them and buy my 470 again).

[@TXGX460OverlandandOffRoad]

😂😂 thanks for the comments!

[@davidwayne9982]

@@TXGX460OverlandandOffRoad Wonder if it would be possible to chop that front end- about half way for a high offroad bumper and make it look right? other than that- it's not bad-- but I can't afford one of those anyway-- 470 I CAN.. barely.. :)

[@TXGX460OverlandandOffRoad]

@@davidwayne9982 it can be done - several examples out there

[@arailtb]

I had a 2008 470 and I currently have a 2019 460. I agree the 470 looks better stock. My 460 gets 5-6MPG more than my 470 did stock. I think it helps that the 460's pedal response is abysmal. A Pedal Commander will fix that, but I kind of like the relaxed driving manners. Other than the parking sensors and fans in the seats, there is sadly no more tech in my 460 than my 14 year old 470. In fact, the secondary air intake in the 470 is a royal pain to change compared to the 460 and you can get a 460 without the stupid air suspension; not to mention no timing belt in the 460 like in the 470... so there might be less "shit to go wrong" in a 460.

[@davidwayne9982]

@@arailtb THANKS- I stand CORRECTED-- but thre is MORE-- I LIKE adn prefer the BARN DOOR-- not the lift up and drop gate.. (not sure which has wat as to years...but the 460 might be easier to get now too as the 470 that aren't rusted are about gone. THANKS - I stand corrected as I said!!
