The base GX is worse equipped than a 4runner limited. A friend got one and it doesn't even have NAV. The base Lexus doesn't have real leather. You've got to get into the mid 50s for one equipped like a limited 4runner.

I agree on the 2014 being a HUGE improvement. It actually looks like a truck instead of a station wagon on steroids. My coworker just got one. I have to say though for what he paid for a base GX460 a lower priced 4Runner limited would have had more options...

Is there a way to later pay for an upgrade to NAV capabilities on the 2014 GX 460 Base? I friend got a new GX in November and regrets not having this functionality. I know some vehicles with display audio have paid upgrades was wondering for him on the GX...

I think that looks awesome!

I have a 2014 JGC and real world I am seeing 22-23 highway (depends on incline level of route) and 17 city I also test drove a 2013 4runner and the night and the plush feature set and interior for the same price won me over. It will be disappointing if the 2014 4runner brings those up to par...

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The interior and available NAV/infotainment system is why the 4runner lost out when I test drove a few months ago...

Agree on the new Cherokee they should have used a different name for that vehicle. The front end is a shame. If we were comparing 2013 Jeep -> 2013 4Runner I probably would have got the 4Runner. The 2014 (they got it on the lot the day I was test driving, was told first one sold in PA maybe...

I test drove the SRX with a CUE system as well. It seemed to have some issues compared with the new Jeep uconnect system... I saw the Jeep as a compromise between the Caddy and Toyota. Capability AND tech...

I traded in a 2005 Jeep GC with 149,000 miles on it... I never broke down in that time. Did need a few repairs but no major powertrain etc... I like the exterior looks and the idea of body on frame with the 4runner. If the interior had a bit more luxury it would have sold me. (I know about...

Nope it was a limited. I actually drove the SR5 as well prior. The limited was a nice ride. The infotainment/electronics (there is not even an analog speedometer, 7 inch TFT screen middle of instrument panel) and interior differences (not as much leather, more plastic, etc) were the...

I think they should focus on the infotainment / electronics. I test drove one a little over a month ago and ended up with a 2014 Jeep GC. Newer cockpits make the 4runner look very dated. The screen is small and there are too many buttons. If I need the heated seats on the Jeep, for example...
