I sat and rode in the Toyota 4runner and it's doesn't feel comfortable at all. The Lexus GX470, which I just got this past Saturday is amazing and the 4runner doesn't even come close to it. Driving the Lexus GX470 is really nice and smooth. Just everything about the Lexus GX470 is nice and I'm very happy with the car.

Replying to: lynn_gx07 (Oct 08, 2008 12:16 pm) Well, they do have different bodies and interiors. The GX470 body is taller and has a side-hing rear door. In contrast, the 4Runner has a traditional top-hinged rear hatch. The GX470 is significantly heavier. But the frame, powertrain (engine, transmission, driveshaft, differential, axles) and basic suspension design are the same.
