future mods will be possibly a lift but for sure better tires. i am trying to get a hold of someone at gobi too for a rack. the only racks i can find are rhino. plus normal stuff like the windows and finish up the clear bra. right now only the hood and mirrors are done, i want to get the bumper wrapped.
Sounds good

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.

I prefer the swing out door. I feel like I can get in the cargo area easier. especially in my garage. even if my garage door is closed I can at least prop it open a little bit to load. with the traditional pop up I was not able to do that. plus I have a drop down table on the tailgate for road side snacking. the only issue I have, is dust seems to get in there a lot easier. and around the window area when you open it. I do miss being able to roll down the back window though.
I did a 800 mile trip through Wyoming and South Dakota couple weekends back, we avg'd 16mpg for trip. it was 4 people loaded down and lots of hills and insane wind in Wyoming. we got blown around a little but otherwise it handled great. kids loved the roominess in the back seats and being able to recline. I installed some extra USB ports back there for them so they can charge all of their tablets and phones.
I miss my 4Runner for a few things but overall I am glad I moved to the GX

Are the GX460-470 prone to the frame rust like the 4runner? Will they get as many miles?

I doubt anybody knows yet. But I would think yes. Metal rusts. So why would it not rust in the rust belt like everything else. I would certainly do my due diligence buying a used GX, or for that matter any metal vehicle from the rust belt or salty environment.
