sorry for bringing up an old thread. i have a 2006 4Runner V6 4WD sport and my sister has a 2013 GX460 premium. The 4runner is great and goes off road great. But......The GX460 is a better car by car in my opinion. More low end torque. Much better interior. Has pretty much the same off road capability. Looks decent.
I used my the GX460 for a 2500 mile trip round the Grand Canyon, Zion park, Bryce park, Yellowstone, Grand Tetons, etc. We averaged 20mpg going 80mph. Never got tired sitting inside of it. It handled the small trails that we threw at it. Interior didn't have any squeaks or rattles (car had 55k)
The only complains i have about that car is that the rear door/hatch was a little annoying, opening sideways. Filling up 91. And we slept in the back a couple nights and it wasn't flat. where the rear seats folded, there was a hump that hurt our hips (4runner doesn't have this issue). And the car came from Maine so it has surface rust on the frame even though its a 5 year old car with 56k miles on it.
But we loved the GX460. It was super smooth, quiet, fuel efficient, and just ate up the miles. Cant wait till my sister sells it to me.
