The only GX model sold so far is the GX 470.
It features a 4.7 liter V8 engine making 270 horsepower.
Although it is a luxury vehicle made by Lexus, the GX 470 also had some genuine offroad capabilities. It has a welded steel body and four wheel drive. The 5 speed automatic transmission makes the SUV more accessible to Americans. With three rows of seating, it can fit 8 passengers, although those in the back row will not be comfortable. The premium Mark Levinson audio and DVD entertainment system in the rear are only listed as options at this time.
The GX 470 gained credibility with the offroad market when it won 4-wheeler of the year in 2003 and 2004. It also features the best resale value of just about any vehicle sold today.
Some new improvements include a port for iPod players and a Bluetooth connection. The new navigation system also responds to over 100 voice commands.
These cars are not very common on the used car market. As I mentioned before, they have a high resale value, which indicates that they are in high demand. Your best bet for finding one is looking at the listings on eBay. |
