1998 LX470 or 2005 GX470 help

[FxFormat]

The LX460 looks and drives better, that might be a tougher choice, but 470, no brainer there.

I was worried about that, too... until I had the vehicle in my garage, started researching it more, and understanding it. This is NOT the trouble-prone nightmare air-suspensions of old. You CAN maintain it yourself. You can even fix it yourself.. no complicated dealership mystery machines involved. It works great, and there's lots of high mileage examples with the system still going strong.

Having said that, if you want to rip it out, it's been done a million times, too, and you'll find plenty of folks who'll talk you through it... or do it for you.
