Well for one you are not picturing a 01 LX470.How many times have you taken apart a Lexus with over 400k and a F350 with over 400k.I have and when you do let me know.Also considering that a Lexus cost over $20k more you are not getting that much of a better vehicle.The fact that an Excursion diesel weighs almost 2k lbs more and can get almost double the mileage and cost $30k less.
2001 LX470 400k miles
$16,915 retail excellent condition
2001 Ford F350 Crew Cab 400k miles (GAS)
$10,160 retail excellent condition
2001 Ford F350 Crew Cab 400K miles (Diesel)
$14,895 Retail excellent condition
These are from KBB. I would think after a certain mileage the figures become a little useless....who in their right mind would pay this for either truck with 400k miles on it?

Mileage + In Tucson Arizona
I must be the luckiest 05 GX470 owner in the US! I bought my 05 GX470 1 week ago with 92k miles. It just had the 90k service including timing belt and plugs. I drove my first tank of gas, all city driving here in Tucson Az. and then refilled the tank. Car computer said 17.5mpg which matched my math by dividing the miles driven by the Gallons required to refill!

We humans are doomed to strive for perfection and would never achieve it.....at peak of SOMEWHAT perfection our civilization dis appears aonly to start over again....I ,being an engineer, tried my hands on YOU name it automobile....NONE are perfectly designed.....Engine and transmission is only 30% of the auto...LX has the best of it but other 70% is UNDER engineered.
