This is the best and most reliable car I have purchased.

This is the best and most reliable car I have purchased. It has ample room for passengers, equipment or both and even though it is an older car, it still has a lot of creature comforts that can keep up with newer cars. When I used to take it into the dealership for maintenance (timing belt, etc.), the service managers would tell me to never sell this car because it is overengineered for reliability and the drivetrain will last me well over 500K miles if it is taken care of. As of 2025 I am almost at a quarter million miles and still humming along.

Best Vehicle I have ever owned!

I LOVE my 2006 GX 470. I have raised babies, chauffered 7 little boys, and all their sports equipment, dog ambulance, snow car, luxury SUV, you name it! I have always said, I will drive this until I die or it does. Best Vehicle I have ever owned. I recently got a new paint job and have had several offers to buy it. NOPE! If you can find one in great shape, buy it. They are rare!

Most reliable SUV

Fantastic vehicle, if you can prove the vehicle has been well maintained.. and you’re in the market.. BUY IT. Great for a daily computer or going on off-road adventures!

Best kept secret

Hands-down the best overall vehicle I’ve ever owned. The reliability is unmatched with this 4.7 L V8 engine. I came from a 2009 jeep Rubicon I cannot express the difference in the ride. Not to mention it is a Lexus. I actually owned two. I have a 2006 GX 470 and a 2019 GX 460 and I actually prefer the 470 over the 460 when it comes to power. I had to add a power commander on the 460 just to match the torque. I’ll share this with you. True story. Last winter we had a nice storm in North Carolina. I wind up pulling two Jeeps up to Lynnville gorge mountain with my winch because they couldn’t make it up. To light. I will carry that for the rest of my days. Lol

Very reliable and strong!

These SUVs are a rare breed - body on frame construction with all the comfort of a crossover. Only drawback is the 18-21 MPG, but to be expected.

Great long term investment

by far the most reliable and safest car out there. I drove it in every condition, and car proved itself in every single time. Whether you are looking for a family car or car that can take you anywhere including true offroading, this truck can handle it.
