Ahhhhhh, looks just like the 4Ripper we had to sell for our current GX!

What an amazing sky.

What are your thoughts on the GX vs the 4R?

Had a 14 Trail Premium and went to a 13 GX Premium with 10k more miles And 2k less $$...

For our situation, Pros for the GX:
- 3rd row for our long adventures with 5 total people and a dog.
- 4.6 V8 with the 6spd trans is a peach compared with the 4.0 and 5spd.
- Pulling our 5x8 trailer with the GX is way better.
- Cheaper to buy and insure.
- Quieter, smoother, nearly as efficient with my light foot.
- 3 zone HVAC and 17 speaker Mark Levinson is really nice.
- Girls love the 2nd row heated seats.
- My cold hands love the heated steering wheel.
- Auto leveling rear suspension is great when loaded.
- Not as many around.
- Aftermarket upgrade market is strong.
- Support community on clublexus and facebook gxor are generally full of helpful drivers.

Our opinion, Pros of the T4R:
- Better looking.
- Factory head unit was slightly better.
- Doesn’t have the Lexus stereotypes associated with it
- Requires 87oct, Lexus recommends 91. Many users use 87 with the 4.6 V8, but we tow a few thousand miles a year so I’ll feed it the good stuff.

Would we trade back? Not now. With all the maintenance I have completed, Konig Six Shooters, and the Plastidipping I’ve done this GX is good enough until we get an Army Green Trd Pro Tundra in 8-10 years!

Feel free to PM me if ya have any specific questions.
