Hello all
I have the same problem deciding
Loaded 4Runner with DVD headrests.. $44K vs. Gx Premium at $52K
Here is my dilema
I want a 3rd row
I want a 110v outlet
4runner
Has 4 12V cigarette lighter chargers + USB connect in the main cabin. (2 front seat and 2 in the rear cabin for passengers)
The GX has a single 12V charger in the main cabin! I was amazed to see this and dont understand why
3rd row on the GX is just a tad bigger than the 3rd row on the 4Runner.. (just a tad)
No power rear window on the GX..
Both vehicles have a 110v outlet- this one is a wash..
Ay thoughts or suggestions?
Do I want the extra room in the GX/3rd row? Heck, how would the kiddies charge their games/toys?
Anybody else think this is weird in 2015 that there is 1 12 V charger?
Thanks!

Go for the GX of course. It's a much nicer ride. I found the one charger odd as well but have worked around it. My 2 boys have no issues that I know of charging their phones, ipads, laptops.
I bought a

Not sure if this info was helpful but that is how I dealt with it.

Killer,
You can buy devices that will provide 120v for $40, or USB splitters, etc that could be run under the carpets. I wouldn't pick either vehicle based on the power questions.
The 3rd row question is of course something you can't fix for $50 after the fact. It sounds like both vehicles have a 3rd row, and you are just debating the size. I would think that you may want to pick the bigger of the 2. The kids are going to grow.![Big Grin](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
Since you asked this question in the Lexus forum, you know the answer you are going to get. If you haven't already, you may want to post a similar query in a 4Runner forum to get balanced input.

I thought the one 12v outlet was a little odd as well, but still not a deal breaker. I really like the V8 over the V6 and the towing capacity is at 6500 vs 4700 on 4runner. To me its just alot nicer vehicle for a little more money. I've had my 2015 for about five weeks now and love it more every time I drive it.

There are few reasons why to choose GX460 over 4Runner. I would not buy a car without an adaptive cruise control. Also a blind spot monitor is a must. After having LS460 for some time, I noticed that LED headlights are a big advantage. The same for Mark Levinson audio and inteligent high beams. So I plan to purchase GX460 Luxury with a Driver Support Package as a second car for my family.
If I would not need these features, I would be O.K. with 4Runner Limited. It also means that I would never consider GX460 base or with a premium package. It's 2015, should we still buy cars without such basic features as an adaptive cruise control?
