#61 of 148 RE: great value by t0677g Nov 05, 2003 (7:59 pm)
For $3~4 K more, GX has 3rd row seats, rear A/C, voice activated DVD/audio system, speed adjusted moonroof deflector, full-time 4WD with TORSEN LSCD, DAC/HAC, and adaptive variable suspension (standard). I do think the GX has better value. Actually, I think just the 4WD system worth the extra $$.   Don’t get me wrong, I think RX is a great SUV too that’s why there’s a RX right next to the GX in our garage.
#62 of 148 Winter Tires for '04 GX by markfallen Nov 08, 2003 (10:56 am)
Can anyone recommend winter or all-season tires better than the Bridgestone H/T's that come with the 04's today? We travel during winter to Lake Tahoe about twice a month, and I'm doubtful that the H/T's will satisfy my needs. Upon research in multiple online tire stores, there seems to be limited choices in the 265/65/17 range.   Any ideas?

I picked up a Blizzard White GX last week. Wow, what a truck. I am amazed how solid and quiet this truck rides. I have a 2003 Benz E320 and the GX (in terms of ride quality and sound isolation) will give my E320 a run for the money any day of the week.   I ordered the GX with the 3rd Row Seat/AC, Wind Deflector, Cargo Mat, Wheel Locks package. I paid $46k even plus they game me a great trade on my 2000 Trooper Limited. (Lawrenceville Lexus, Lawrenceville, NJ) I sort of wish I would of ordered with the Nav system as well. I was under the impression that the GX came with the LCD screen regardless of whether or not you ordered the Nav system. (ie Acura MDX) I was mistaken. The GX interion looks much better with the LCD Screen. Although, it was hard to justify the price of the Nav/Levison System. I planned on buying the Garmin Voice Activated GPS for $999 so I am able to move it to any of my 3 vehicles. Like I said, I though it came with the LCD screen regardless. I might have changed my mind if I knew it didn't.   On occasion, not regularly, I have noticed a very slight vibration in the wheel at 1800-2000 rpm. I have also occasionally noticed that "bang" in the breaks / trans while coming to or at a stop. It hasn't gotten to point of bothering me just yet. I have 1300 miles on the truck as of today.   No problems to report just as yet. Some things I think Lexus can do to even better the GX 470 (or give you what I would expect in a $50k truck) would be:   The rear AC system should heat as well as cool and there should be a way to control both from the front console.   The rear cargo windows should be power open and close. They are basically useless in a manual format in which they currently come.   The rear door window should open for quick loading and unloading.   The control rods on the steering column for Lights, Wipers & Cruise etc, should illuminate at night.   They should eliminate the cheap plastic in the rear cargo area. Especially those cheap plastic lids that cover the 3rd row seat brackets. Man they are cheap..!   Come on Lexus, this is a $50k truck. I expect more. My sister's $20k Ford Minivan came with power rear cargo windows and front adjustable rear climate control for God's sake..!

just picked up my gx470 a couple of weeks ago and i must say that it's a great drive. i know a lot of people really don't like the back swinging door but it works well for me and the kids when they load up their backpacks to and from school - they don't have to reach too high like they have to on my land cruiser. i have approx 1,000 miles on it now. i have noticed a few things on the driving that i have not noticed on the other suv's i've driven: when i go down hill without my foot pressing on the accelerator, the engine downshifts on its own which i guess is good; and if i come to a rolling stop and then accelerate all of a sudden, the car rev's up a lot like i'm in neutral. anyone have the same experience? other than this, i have not heard any thumping sounds at all. the mark levinson entertainment system when a dvd is playing sounds tremendous! the kids love it.
#66 of 148 wag100 price on loaded gx470 by dsurowiec Nov 21, 2003 (8:03 pm)
I also received a 50k price on the same exact 53,243 MSRP for a loaded GX. Where did you get yours from ?   Problem is I can seem to come up with the exact MSRP from any online source. can you ? Maybe this really does include the rear camera and new NAV.   I was told that the GX with rear view camera were on the ground. I will verify this tomorrow.
#67 of 148 wag100 price on loaded gx470 by jesst Nov 22, 2003 (11:10 pm)
dsurowiec-Just looked at your message and I am able to calculate your MSRP of 53,243 exactly. Your price DOES NOT include the the rear camera and nav.

#68 of 148 Updated prices by jesst Nov 22, 2003 (11:21 pm)
I am told by my dealer that the new KDSS and Navigation w/ the back up camera is due to arrive in December. I have gotten MSRP prices on these new features, but wondering if anyone can provide Invoice prices. I have not been able to locate any online sources w/ this info. Edmunds lists "n/a" for KDSS.   Here are the updated prices on new features: Navigation/Audio package inclusive of backup camera....MSRP $3050   KDSS....MSRP $1750 (FYI... I was also told that w/ the KDSS option, you will not be able to include the tow package at this time)   Wondering if anyone has received any price quotes inclusive of the new features. Thanks!
#69 of 148 No Tow Package w/KDSS? by tony50 Nov 23, 2003 (7:02 pm)
Jesst, did your source say why getting the KDSS excludes the tow package? Is there some mechanical interference with the two (hard to believe)?   As for your quote on the hitch ball above, is it really $420 while the hitch receiver is only $50? This does not look right.
#70 of 148 No Tow Package w/KDSS? by jesst Nov 24, 2003 (1:01 am)
tony50,the dealer mentioned something about not being able to add the tow option w/ the KDSS but do not recall the specifics since this was not something that I was interested in anyways. Sorry.   Regarding the MSRP on the tow package, the $50.00 option is for the hitch bracket which "includes the wiring harness, converter, sub-bracket and rear bumper hitch cover with cut-out".   The $420.00 is the ball mount.   As stated, I am not interested in the tow option, so I apologize if any of my tow package info is unclear. The MSRP figures that were quoted is from on-line sources which provide this info.   Maybe someone else may have some input on why no tow package is available w/ KDSS option.
