Default 2017 GX used... anything to look out for?

Very close to pulling trigger on one of these that has about 25K on it. Only obvious thing I see is the OEM tires are worn probably wont last me till winter, but other than that with the test drive was a clean vehicle. No air ride, keeps it simple. Is there anything major I should be on lookout for on a 2017? I take it they fixed that emissions pump thing, but there still might be a retrofit for me later......

There aren't many problems at all. Change all of the fluids regularly and it will run for a long time.

couple things I found so far that you might want to look out for thats hard to fix or dealers call "Within Specs"

1. Car lean towards passenger side about 1" on some models.
2. some experience vibrations around 60 mph so test drive to 60+
3.vibration of seats passenger or 2nd row
and thats about it I guess other wise its a solid truck that guarantees 150k+miles

I bought a CPO '13 and the main issue I have is the front seats. I know you are asking about reliability but I often have a hard time getting comfortable in the front seats. My lower back often starts to ache after around 30 to 60 min. Not sure if you can test drive that to see. I have longer legs relative to my torso, so maybe it is just me, or I guess it could be that the seats have lost cushion from use by the previous owner. I often use some sort of extra seat pad or cushion to try to mitigate. Other than the air pressure sensors failing after replacing the tires (it was about 6 years, so around the life span - and they were covered by warranty) I have had no issues.

I've had the vibration. It took a couple of different times to get the wheels balanced properly but it seems smooth now.
