Was looking for an inexpensive 2nd or 3rd gen 4runner for a while. Wife started getting impatient about it and worried about how crappy all suvs we’ve seen. Also considered about a dozen other suvs. Been looking for 3-4 months. But thanks to the guy who overslept and didn’t answer my text yesterday bc I now own a 2013 GX460. I fu’king hate dealers and it was a rough experience but ended up getting I think a good price for it.

Hoping I made a good choice with this. It’s got the most extensive service history I’ve ever seen. Always serviced at the dealer who sold it and I bought from. One owner. No accidents and pretty clean.

Just the little bit of driving it I love it way more than my Grand Cherokee. Only downside... not a huge fan of white but we’ll see if some small mods changes that.

Been 15 years on these type of forums and i don’t understand why photos post upside down???? Sorry tried to remove and repost but same issue.

GX is the right move... ill be joining you soon.

Rotate the photo in camera before posting it, or fix it in imgur or something. Ive never had this problem lol.

I tried rotating the photos I attempted to post and they still came out upside down.

I gusss I’m stubborn and don’t want to use a secondary site to upload the photos to and from.

The last photo was a screen grab on my phone and cropped within the camera app.

I still don’t understand why forums sometimes rotate a photo when uploading them.

I almost did the same thing

Nice! I actually really like the white.

I think I'm going to be heading in the same direction as you. I really wanted a 3rd gen, but not having great luck finding a nice one. Multiple people have told me I should go with a gen4 as they're better in most every way, but pricing is kind of stupid and I really don't like the styling.

I figure if I'm going to go gen 4, might as well get a GX470. Pricing is similar and IMO thye look better and are a bit nicer. Plus I like that they're not as common, and I'm thinking a Lexus owner is prob going to do a good job of sticking with the maint. schedule.

I was just looking at a Carfax on an '05 with 122k miles for 9,700, it's had pretty much all the recommended maint, and at the same Lexus dealer by it's two owners.

Only thing that gives me pause on these is the outdated nav.

Buy one without nav and then put in whatever you want

It's also possible to do a conversion to non nav, but obviously a bit more complex than just buying one that way.

Few issues for me with the gx470s was the outdated feel on the interior, possible issues with rear air ride (can be expensive to repair), frame rust, and the third row/trunk space is terrible compared to the newer design on the 460s.

Download the waze app. It gives real time traffic, alerts for cops, potholes, etc. Even will let you know when to leave to arrive a a specific time. I’m not a fan of lexus’ Nav even in my 460. It’s slow, cumbersome and it feels like I have to do three different things when it should have been only one click.

Good luck with finding a good solid car.

Great looking upside down ride! I am in the process of looking for one with the same year and color. Do you mind disclosing the price you paid?

Thanks!

Congrats on the GX!

I love my 2011.

IMO 2010-2013 is still the sweet spot for GX price/value, and they get a little cheaper every day.
