It's a religous debate. Here's a thread.

vipermann1,

MSRP was 68,097 no night vision and no RSES.

tigmd99,

The VGRS is on the LX470 and GX dosen't have it. I can sense the slight change in steering input needed at low and high speeds. At higher speeds the steeting feels really slow and you really have to turn it to get around a turn.

SacKen,

The reason I got the LX is because I came from a GX and I really like my GX. You just cannot beat the value and packaging of the GX compared to the LX. No wonder GX are out selling the LX by a big margin. Probably the only reason I went for the LX470 is because it is a Land Cruiser, there are a lot of aftermarket parts and support for it. Whereas I couldn't find anything for the GX.

I've found that the 4runner AWD V8 Sport with the Xreas has a better ride then the GX470. Must be the Xreas and the 4runners 300+lb lighter weight. No bottoming out and it handles more like a sports car.
