Default 2014 Gx460 Base with Nav. Purchased!

Picked up our 14' Gx 460 StarFire Pearl/ Black Int. with Nav. Remote Start, Tow Package, Exhaust Tip, Cargo net, Cargo Mat and wheel locks. It was a surprise for my wife. It did not turn out to be such a good surprise because she thought we were getting a RX. I felt we needed the extra room now that we have a one year old and I like a V8 engine. So far I have got to drive it a wooping 2 miles she has logged In 80 miles. I'll let you guys know what I think when I get to log some miles in this weekend.

First thing I noticed is I guess they took the wood wheel out of the base?

yes, they stripped out all nonessentials and made it a luxury 4runner basically with v8 and kdss.

Looks like you can still get it on the base with $310 Individual Option or Comfort Package.

It's funny you say that. I was really wanting the Gx and my wife was wanting the RX so the compromise was the 14' 4runner limited. Stickered with all the options $46,785. I went and made a deal on 4runner and was about to go in financing and they had traded it to another dealer out of state that day. So I took it as a sign and bought what I wanted. The wife was not very happy to drive up and see it in the garage. She drove it to work the next day and fell in love. This GX stickered 53,127 dealer knocked off $1,500 and gave me $1000 more than what I was being offered on my trade in. Not a great deal but most dealers are not coming off at all and others are 500 miles away from me. All in all I'm happy purchased a premium vehicle with a strong resale value.

To the OP, congrats! It's a great vehicle and I'm sure it will serve you and your family very well for years and many miles to come.

Are you getting the front wrapped in the clear bra? Now is the time before you got any major "damage" from the elements. I hate how on SFP it gets the orange bloom from anything stuck in the paint and had my dealer clear bra the whole front before I drove the truck home.

GREAT advice, make sure you do this OP. Your local tint shop can do it very well and maybe for a bit cheaper than the dealership, get on it now because its so worth it.
