Default Considering upgrading to newer GX or different truck..

My 03 is getting on in years now has almost 180K and has been faithful for the most part. I've been tossing around the idea of something newer but I'm not sure what will be a suitable replacement. I would love something with more tech (radar cruise, collision warning, sensors, etc.), same or better comfort/reliability/capability, more power, better mpg, and panoramic sunroof.

Not sure if anything like that exists or if I should just jump into the 3rd gen GX.

Anyone in the same boat?

I had a thought over the weekend if my 470 were to be totaled in an accident - what would I replace it with? I really like the GX, so I started looking at the 460s for sale near me. Still too much money, but having some of the newer features would be nice. I haven't driven one yet but my understanding is that the 470 has a better ride.

I had to have service on my 2004 gx470 Dealer loaned me new rx 350 I cant believe how bad a ride it was. My gx 470 is 13 years old and has a luxury ride the rx was harsh I felt every bump. Yes it was tight but I like soft ride

Very good post OP! I have an '03 and it just broke 111k. Great overall car but it is showing some age in terms of tech and a few house things like interior button lights out, fuzzy ML speaker and non-working entertainment system to name a few. I was thinking a 7 year old or less GX 460. I do like back up cam, bluetooth but want the spirit of my '03!
