As the title says, curious on opinions here, with the consideration that the vehicle has consistent and documented maintenance and upkeep.
What’s the highest mileage GX470 (2005+) you’d purchase?

Condition and maintenance over mileage imo.
Regardless of mileage all the bushings and mounts and such will be getting tired, depending on what you want out of the truck you might be looking at putting a fair bit of money into stuff like that.

^ This. I would have zero problem buying a GX in any year with 200,000, 300,000 or 400,000+ miles as long as the current mechanical condition was good, has no rust and has a solid service history.

I buy Toyotas when someone gets scared of them due to Mileage or Small Issues that Accumulate.
Both (GX and LC) had ~200K on them and I baseline them (Fix all known Issues and Change Fluids) and check all common Wear Items (Filters, Wipers, Brake Pads, Battery). I typically spend $1k getting them in "Shape" All Receipts go in a Gallon Ziploc and are Labeled with Mileage and Date Installed.
DO NOT THROW PARTS at them! These Aint Jeeps.
Only Use High Quality Components (ie Japanese Parts or OEM Suppliers)
Our 300K 2004 Corolla is on Original AC Compressor, Fuel Pump, Water Pump, Radiator, etc.....Never an Electrical Issue.
Had to Change 1 Wheel Bearings at 200K (Noise) and Starter at 265K.
Alternator was changed at 245K and and it was still going - I did not want to change in Winter (No Garage) so I went Preventive.
**Do not Forget the Coolant & Transmission Fluids (every 5 years) and Timing Belts every 100K or 10 yrs.

I bought mine with 289k miles and did the suspension, breaks, WP, and axles. it has been amazing and zero issues. I hope to drive it to 500k
