These older, mid-2000's Lexus GX 470's are excellent mid-size, truck-based SUV's to purchase, because they have the 4.7 L V8 engine, which produces 263 horsepower and they have the five-speed automatic transmission. They are reliable and they are great commuter vehicles (point A to point B). Thank you very much.
These are really nice SUVs. They were just under 50 grand new and now they are still around 15k but I’ve found a few around 8. I’ve been debating ona sequoia but I think I’m going to go with this as I don’t care about my kids having space and I want a nicer car.
That guy in the mazda was probably wondering wtf you were doing changing into his lane more than once... speeding up to drive beside him😂 although I've noticed you drive like you're lost quite often
The crazy thing is that this is older, and most likely heavier than the X5, with only 5 more horsepower. It's still over two seconds quicker. Yet these things have a reputation for being some of the slowest luxury SUVs ever made...
It's not about the horsepower. The GX470 is a V8 and has almost 100 lb/ft more torque than the X5, while weighing the same. There was a more favorable slope, and no passenger in the run with the Lexus. I am sure that X5 would eventually get the GX at triple speeds.
@@DMCarReviews true, most larger SUVs run out of steam at higher rpms (and now that's starting to spread to smaller cars because of how poorly turbo-four cylinder engines are usually designed) so an endurance test between the two might lead to the GX coming out on top.
Could you do a 3rd gen Lexus GS350 but the RWD version? All the other reviewers always test the AWD version. Preferably a 2007. Also a 2015 gs350 f sport rwd if you can.
You forgot to mention that they are also very capable off-road as well.

I'd take the Lexus over the Toyota
I REALLY like your video and they way you check everything. I'm considering a beautifully clean one of these right now & you have me excited 🤣🤣
Thank you so much for watching! Great cars.

@@KINGZZPVP_YTDepends on which 4 cylinder. Some are super good like the B48 and EA888.
@@DMCarReviews true.
The X5 will last no where near as long, be as trouble-free, nor retain its value in comparison.

I'll try to find one
Review the new rx 350 awd too
Lexus IS500 please!!
They are hard to find, but if I do, I'll film it

I think it does. Has the option to connect the phone
