So we bought a bigger trailer a couple of weeks ago. One thing leads to another. The new trailer exceeds the towing capacity of our 2005 LX470. So now we have a diesel jeep grand Cherokee and the LX is looking for another home. We have had two great years of overland adventures with this beauty. It is in excellent condition and always driven with care offroad. I learned in Baja before the paved highway, that going slow and taking good lines keeps your truck in one piece. Location is Encinitas, CA 92024 Asking $25,000. You can find it on FB market place 2005 Lexus LX470 - Vehicles - Encinitas, California - Marketplace | Facebook and additional photos/video on my FB page tomandpeggycozens the album is titled LX470.
