3rd gen is much lighter, and about 20% smaller than a 4th gen, so it's a bigger vehicle and you can tell when driving it. The V8 power is great, fuel economy not so much. I don't feel like you really gain any cargo room aside from the additional height available, it seems narrow in the rear of the GX.

I do really like the GX platform, we've had ours for about 6 years now and it has 255K kms on it, I just put new UCA/LCA's and Dobinsons suspension under it, and had the front end replaced due to hitting a deer in the fall, it looks and drives great, and I'm planning on running it for years to come as a DD to commute to work, tow my snowmobile trailer, etc.
