Default First Lexus: 07 GX470

I am a car enthusiast and had been looking for a daily driver/car hauler to take my Cayman S to track days for a few months before finding this 07 GX with one prior owner and meticulous maintenance through its 127k miles. I have had body on frame SUVs before, but not "luxury" trimmed ones (had an Xterra, Pathfinder, and a few wagons/crossovers).

I have to say, this is a great mix of comfort and capability. The Mark Levinson audio is really quite good, and the truck rides well and is quiet. I had a '98 Tacoma w/TRD Supercharger so I'm somewhat familiar with Totota drive trains and capability mixed with longevity so am excited to drive this GX for another 100k.

Had new tires/brakes/tbelt/water pump done when I got it, all diff and xfer case fluids, just need to swap the plugs in the relatively near future. I just need to wire in the brake controller.

The nice thing about it being almost 10 years old is that if it gets a ding or scratch it isn't the end of the world.

it didn't have third row, which I don't need anyway, and I removed the wider of the two second row seats so my Great Danes have more room back there. I do a lot of road trips and also usually camp in my vehicles too.

Anyway, done with the rambling. Here is the Sage Mage, and have to show off the 981 as well.

I'm sure most of you know this, but the Mark Levinson system is quite good. Especially for rock/concert type music. I had just gotten back from a drive in the Porsche that has the Bose upgrade and the ML is so much more balanced with more clarity
