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.
