I had a 4runner and when I test drove an 05 GX, it felt smaller. It was very quiet and comfortable though, totally different from the 4runner. Eventually went with an RX since I was tired of the 4runner gas mileage.

Guys thanks for your input. I am exited to say I am seeing two GX's this week.
One is a 2006 black on black. $22k Fully equipped. It's 101k miles though at about blue book price. So I am asking to take it into a Lexus dealer for a check even though they say they give it a 300 count check at their Audi dealer. Black on black is gonna get really hot in Cali but I love the combo.
The other Is about 72k miles 2007 white with tan interior. But it's allot more at $26k. Gonna be really hard to negotiate for that one. I need to keep in at about $20k. Plus I really am not a big fan of the tan interior. But LOVE the white.
Would keep the RX a while for shows. Sell it when I find the right buyer to take it to the next level.

Would you think that might even more be a reason for an RX not a GX? GX is a real truck.

After some painful negotiations 
Took this home tonight.
All I really want now is to get the rear spoiler for it. I love how it looks on these trucks.
bad pic but....

Bahahaha yes I know. Already looking too much on modding sites. Just have to say away! Seriously though this car is way too expensive and the 4x4 system is to complicated to mess with. Only thing I can think of is some moderate interior and maybe a couple of exterior mods. Nothing more.

Look's fantastic!
So, when are you going mudding? LOL, JK... I wouldn't want to clean it after than. haha
Enjoy, I've always loved the GX! Hope to own one someday.

I think the GX is smaller. It's noticeable in the rear from the outside. Strange!

But it's prob. irrelevant either way. They are both worth their weight in gold I think and it does not matter to me who has them for what ever reason. I think the GX is great for a family truck/suv.

Not at all. I love my RX. However it's been named a "soccer moms" car from the majority. What you posted implied, or my interpretation of what you posted was that the GX was more suited for family, wives, etc. Hense my reply. I get flack all the time for having an RX. Especially the breakwater blue color.

Beautiful GX by the Way!
