Comparison of a Lexus LX 470 versus a Lexus LX 570.
What the difference is between the Lexus 100 series and a 200 series. Market values, towing capacity, design changes and more. Both are 383 HP 5 speed, 5.7L V8 DOHC.
The video illustrates the differences between the two, Some people prefer the 100 series over the 200 series and vice versa. Watch the video and comment on which you prefer!
The LX470 is a legend. It’s one of the best cars ever made
Information is so powerful. I've been looking for a "very good" used car with a V8. I never even considered the LX 470 until watching this video (you got me at removable 3rd-row seats). You did an excellent job with this post, sir. Thank you. 💯🙌👌👍👍 ...sub'd!
Listening to this in my 2001 LX470, love my car so much
Great content! I love the 2006 LX 470, probably the best made trucks and I agree that the newer ones don’t look iconic, more mainstream look.
Ooooh yessssss.. I am keeping my lifted 2006 Lx470 😅😅
@@rhoodjMeoww bro😊
Got an 05 LX and drive it to school everyday I couldn’t be happier I love that thing to the moon and back!!!!!!
Rain, snow or sleet, you will always be on time to school!
In fact, you can school other 4x4s in the way in style!
@@CruisingTheLand fun fact, I’m the only one with an LX because it’s less common where I’m at and extremely rare.
Where are you located?
@@CruisingTheLand Midwest in Illinois
Lexus lx470 my dream car😍
Yes, the engine in the LX 470 is much _QUIETER, SMOOTHER and MORE REFINED_ than the V8 in the LX 570
Lx470 Usssr mafia and dream car from 90's
I miss my old one
I have a 98 and it’s a beast. It goes anywhere.
The 470 is the best. I love my white 07. My dad has the 07 black limited edition. Both are mint. We love them and our other Lexus’. I did the same thing with mine and put the 570 20’s on mine. Completely updates the look.
In the Lexus, my fans are the Crystal white... best paint in automotive biz! Then the Grey... but man, that Black limited edition is so nice (just have to black out those chrome handles!) The interior of the black edition is so nice, and the black wood steering wheel. A keeper!
Teddy Hartshorne either for sale?
Great videos!... I love the simple ways you detail the informations about these wonderful trucks...Im in the market now for an 06 07 LX470.
Cant wait!!!
Keep the vids comin!!
The Lexus LX470 hold on to its value tighter and depreciates slower because it has that UN looks. The the ultimate vehicle for the United Nations. It's the ultimate escape vehicle for peace keepers when the peace deal goes bad. The Lexus LX570 looks like a blown-up Toyota Highlander of the same era. The LX470 looks unique and manly.
The Bad Guys mount turrets on V6 Tacomas, the Good Guys take the V8 470 or 570/ Landcruisers as they can out run them and get tougher terrain faster with the KDSS suspension!
First time I've ever heard someone describe anything pertaining to the UN as being "manly".
Nice Comparison, Well done! Helped me make my decision... going old school.
Thank you for this video! Just what the doctor ordered.
Man you really opened my eyes in regards to the Landcruiser and the 570 Lexus. thank you. I really need a truck like these But, not so easy to find up here in Montana.
Thanks to you i just purchased an 06 lx470 thank you for the comparison.
I gotta say I normally am very pro stock when it comes to a vehicle but that 20" upgrade blends in with the vehicle and even adds to the look and it feels stock good eye on that.
Just bought a 99 Lx470 for 6k today. 8/10 condition all around. Higher mileage at 240k. Great ride. I get it now.
You scored a great deal!
That AHC is smooth right!!
@@CruisingTheLand Very smooth! No complaints from me. Gonna grease her up tomorrow sometime and get all the joints moving properly. Glad to hear that you think I got a deal. Wasn't sure if I overpaid or what. I appreciate it.
@@ryand4940 how is she doing? 3 months in
@@iscreamcandytv9642 hi! She is great! Can't ask for more out of a SUV/truck. Get compliments constantly, even from people that have brand new vehicles they think mine drives better. Jokes on them. Lol
Sounds like a good price. You will like it except for the multiple trips to the gas station. However, my mechanic has been chewing my ear on the GX. Cannot remember if he has the 470 or 570. He says it is bulletproof.
I’m looking to get an lx570 soon. Reason: timing chain. Nice video.
Wow! Thanks for the video! I have a 2005 LX470 and looking for a newer one but now i dont want to get rid of it!
Hang onto that 2005!
Great truck. So capable!
@@CruisingTheLand i need to find your video on cleaning up the headlights, mine look terrible!
th-cam.com/video/Y1WnIskQVqs/w-d-xo.html
With those models and air brakes installed for trailer) you can tow 6000kg(13200pounds), it's the same for LC100 and LC200 in Switzerland.
Great video, Gorgeous LX’s!! Thank you for sharing!! I love the wood in the 470!!😍😍
The creature comforts in the LX470!! Such a great SUV to drive with such long lasting construction and meticulous engineering.
Cruising The Land I’ve driven one once and it was pretty amazing!! I absolutely love my LS400 and LS460L which are two of the finest vehicles Lexus has ever made, right up there with the LX!!
@@ryansrides9714
Yes, those V8s are built to last and so smooth.
They are all based on Land cruiser frame, Land cruiser is classic and legendary.
Hello chairman Jiang zeming
Hello Chairman Jiang
Obv the lc was made long before toyota owned lexus then when they bought lexus they made more luxurious versions of the alphard and lc and prado into the lx570 and gx570
It’s a pleasure Mr Jiang
I love the 06/07s..so nice! Although the premium on those today is hard to swallow.
Love my 06. It is awesome.
What a pleasant video great info shared on these , I just bought a 2000 lx470 drives great in 2ft of snow here in crestline ca
You got it just in time!
The 470 definitely has a more classic and elegant look to me. The 570 looks like a big highlander. The better stereo and lack of aux input on the 470 is truly one of the only things making me look harder at the 570. The lack of removable rear seats is a big detractor.
The stereo is great in both.
Sometimes you need to get new speaker foam for the Subwoofer on the LX470
@@CruisingTheLand Thanks for the reply! I'm going to be getting one of the two here soon, once I find the right color/mileage... Your videos help.
570 is actually Land Cruiser 200 platform and 470 uses LC100.
@@The_Touring_Jedi I ended up getting a great deal on an LX570. I'm loving it.
What year? A deal in this market?
Great video, very informative! Thank You!!
I own the LX470 2007 it's one of the best cars I don't think about change
That is definitely a good one!
Nice video. Just a comment...My family has two 80 series and three 100 series LX/LCs. Two with over 400k miles and four over 350k miles. The timing belt maintenance work and the fear of not having it done at 90k mile intervals is waaaaay overblown. The belts rarely rarely ever break and the water pumps rarely go out. I have replaced one water pump in 11 LX/LCs in 24 years. The fear about this issue has really caused a unwarranted commotion within the 100 series community. The 100 series Land Cruisers and LX470s have to be the best vehicles man has ever made.
I know of one person who didn't do the TB and at 156k miles... belt went and she kept driving. $5500 in engine repair.
So I agree that depending on driving conditions, 90k is on the side of caution. Maybe every 120k. And its truly a 650$ repair if done at reputable Toyo mechanic and not 1400$ at dealer.
@@CruisingTheLand Agree...$650 and no dealers. With the above said.....I am more cautious with the VVTI interference engines when deciding when to do timing belt work.
Just had my timing belt, water pump, tensioners, pullies, radiator, hoses, belts, fluids, filters, wipers, vacuum hoses, tire balance, rotation, and AHC work. Should be good to go 300,000.
Great video! Just recently bought a ‘99 LX470 for a 2012 Honda Accord and 5.5k cash. LX is 150k miles with record maintenance. Not gonna lie, the engine is a BEAST and sounds amazing. One thing to look for tho: suspension. Mine has the AHC but the ride is so bumpy..
You can always delete the AHC, and go after market 2-3" lift..
I’ve been thinking about that a lot, but still not quite sure to do it. AHC is what kinda gives the originality to old Lexus’s, and I’m not sure if it’s going to lose market value, given that the car is becoming a classic in a few years.
I've learned a great deal from your videos. Thank you!
The 470 has torsion bars in front and the 570 has coils. Also don't forget to change your heater t's on the 470! If you have not done that they will likely fail before that radiator that is going brown
Yes, good advice!
Just replaced those T's with Stainless Steel one's a week ago.
Just changed my radiator and heater Ts.
Cool rides!! Driveway goals 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Thank you for posting this video! The exact two models I am looking at. You really know your stuff on these two models! Fantastic content!
Let us know when you get one!
@@CruisingTheLand I sure will. Just spent another couple of hours looking on line again tonight. Good ones go fast, missed two of them already.
@@Benchmark67 I know the feeling. Waited months until the perfect one came up for sale. Bought it unseen given the service history at Lexus. Could not believe it when they delivered the car. Looks new and has 232k miles on it. Just unbelievable. The right one will come up for you. Just hang in there.
Thank you for these professional presentations
Glad you like them!
E55 owner here. This video explains exactly what I needed and for a surprise your an E55 owner too lol
yes, best of both worlds!
Awesome as always. Looks like the 470 radiator is brown on top. I'll change out before leaving you stranded.
Thanks I will check that!

I saw a couple of other comments about the top of the radiator being brown. What does that mean? I rewatched the video where he showed under the hood of the 470 and I still don't understand the reference.
I have LX 470, 2004 and only I mean only 3300 miles on it,and still in the garage.
You need to drive it!
Want to sell it 😂
@@derekponteri1491 no
You mean u have a treasure 😍😍😍😍
list it on Cars and bids and you’ll get 80k easily that’s a museum car
Just got a '13 LX570 - - love it.
Nice,
I'm considering getting a '15 with 107k miles for $41k. Does this sound like a good deal?
I own a 2006 sequoia limited 4wd with the 4.7 engine-the million mile tundra has. People have towed easily 10,000 lbs when towing a camper with the 2005- tundra and 2005-07 sequoia
Sorry but 06 Sequoia is 6500lbs and Tundra is 7100lbs.
You are 50% beyond manufacturer stated towig capacity at 10k lbs.
Planning to get a used Lx570 soon. Mind if I ask what’re the common issues to look out for? What’re the maintenance parts that breaks down easily and costs a lot? Thanks! Any help or tips that could help my Lx570 purchase would mean a lot :) thanks
No issues with either. I own a 07 & 15. 100 k on the 470, general maintenance, 15 has 70k and oil changes is all I have done
Great video!!
Love LC's but I prefer the Mighty Nissan Patrol..
It's a shame you don't get them in the States..
We just get the Nissan Pathfinder, Rogue, Murano and Armada
@@CruisingTheLand that's a shame..
Subscribed!!
Thank you
Great comparison
I feel like I deserve them both! I’m sitting in my 2004 470 now looking at grabbing this 09 lx570
Commenting at 1:30 mark. Got the 470. All I can tell you it is a beast. Fingers crossed, thus far, has served me well. Downside? You cannot pass a gas station without filling up. Never have checked.the gas mileage One of these days I want to check, but just always under the radar, but, if I had to guess 12mpg.
This was really helpful! Thank you!
Great videos and very informative. Unfortunately the LC is not available in Canada. From your experience, would you prefer a 2016 or later LX570 model or a pre 2015 LX570? Prices of 2016 onwards are still expensive.
Great machines.... very well explained
Holy Land Cruisers! :) You obviously know your LCs! Can you offer an opinion on travel trailer towing (max weight) with a 2005 LX built as an Overlander with AHC delete and OME fixed suspension (2.5" lift) with heavy coils in the rear (which I understand adds an additional 400lb capacity to GVWR) and the proper hitch not the through the bumper hitch (6500lbs tow capacity)? What is the towing capacity without the AHC? I have alot of added weight (probably almost 1k lbs) with Overlanding mods but these trucks are known to be well-engineered, overbuilt in fact and capable of towing more than the lawyers allow them to indicate in North America. Apparently a Hensley hitch will also increase load pulling capability. Very interested in your thoughts. Private message perhaps? This question arose when considering your point of comparison with the fixed suspension LC200's much greater tow capacity. Cheers
Are the headlights on the 470 glass or plastic? Subbed btw. Great content. Thinking about trading my isf for either a LC, 470 or 570.
The headlights are plastic... they were glass in 98,99,00,01... glass ones are amazing. They sell for $600 if you are lucky to find some and fit all lx470 models.
@@CruisingTheLand Glass also on the 2002. Just bought a new one from the dealer last week. USD 450. Replaced on my 02 in less than 20 minutes on the passenger side.
I love the LX
Oh and I own an FJ40 too. Lx towing my 40 seems like what Eiji would have wanted with his products.
I bought an '06 LX 470 back in November and I couldn't be happier. Already looking to purchase another cruiser this year, but I don't know where to start. Perhaps your love for all things land cruiser won't allow you to give your honest opinion, but how would you rank your preference between the 100 series lc/470 and the 200 series/570? Also, when it comes to the 200/570, which years would you recommend I look at first between them?
You are right, it is tough...
Depends your goals... overlanding, the 200 has KDSS, crawl control, and 100+ more HP.
The LX570, same engine, but even with the AHC up, the LC200 have better approach angle on obstacles. Plus KDSS... the LC you can do a simple lift in the front, which I outline in my video called , Poor Man's lift.
The older the 200, the cheaper of course.For instance,.my.wolifes 570 is a 2008. Has 215k miles drives like new. I like the style of the 2016 and up, but can't justify selling mine and spending 3x more to get a newer lower miles, but has same engine, suspension, etc...
My mechanic has the GX. Do not remember if it is the 470 or 570. Think it is the 570. He says it is bulletproof. He has done little to nothing to it except routine maintenance. He says I need to get one.
Thanks, enjoyed the video. Trying to decided between these 2. Would be interesting to see a little more about the removeable/not removable third seat. But lot of great comparison information.
100 is removeable, the 200 isn't.
Not too difficult., locks well into place for the 100.
@@CruisingTheLand for the 200 I think you just gotta remove the trim that covers the bolts, then pull out the bolts and wires
Another great comparison!
THAT’S MY FAVORITE LEXUS TRUCK👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻. Must be nice to have money to acquire these trucks......wish you well.
Which one? The 570 or 470?
Purring like a kitten! My 2004 LX still does too!
If you happen to know (and I'm sure that you do), what all parts are upgraded with the factory tow package?
Larger radiator? Trans cooler? Larger alternator? Bigger brakes?
I am in Panama, and there is a chance that a late model 470 won't have the factory tow option, so I might need to recreate it depending on cost.
Thanks'
The 100 series is exactly the same,, with or without the factory tow package. No brake controller, no airbags or heavy duty shocks, same radiator etc...
I just subscribed and this is a very impressive & informative comparison video! I prefer the LX470, but both are terrific! What do you think of a LX 470 2006 , 2 owner great maintenance records with a brand new timing belt, water pump & radiator with 230k miles for $20k?
I sold a crystal white 2007 a year before Covid for 19500 with 217k. so post covid price of 20k is good. 2006 is same as 2007, the last and best years for the LX470
BUY IT!
Thank you for the video! I love the 470 styles and I see that they have over 200000 miles. I guess my question is how many miles are too many?
500000
Excellent video! thank you! I just fell in love with these LX570 recently and test drove a 2011 w/160k miles for $25k. Now I'm seriously kicking myself for not getting it. Dude traded it to Carvana the next day :( If you see any minty LX570 around for a killer deal Id be interested.
They are awesome!
where you located?
@@CruisingTheLand I’m over in Utah :)
Very nice vid CTL! U own all these LC's and LX's at the same time? Nice! Will check out your other vids Thx.
Yes, I am a LC hoarder.
Lx570 vs crewmax is my dilemma at the moment. I don't know if I'm going to tow enough to justify cm. Lx and ls swap my 69 c30 seems like the best idea. Decisions, decisions
The Land Cruiser 200 series can tow more than the LX570... because of the AHC.
The LC also has KDSS and better approach angles if off roading.
Brilliant. It doesn't get better than insights from long-term experience.
And-I need a new ride. Ready to sell one?
I have a 1995 FZJ80 for sale... and a 200 series
Yet another great video!
Would you have any concerns over a ‘06 100 series w/ 305k miles, well maintained, but late for its third timing belt now? Close on pulling the trigger
Make your offer minis $700 for the TB that should have been done as normal maintenance.
@@CruisingTheLand thx man! I’m scared of the mileage but this has everything else going for it. All maint done by same Toyota dealer even.
Great video thanks
Love my 470. just wish I could add 3"-4" of legroom to the
driver's seat.
Yes.. you could re do the seat tracks... its been done
I much prefer the '06 - '07 LX 470 to the LX 570 until the 2016 refresh. The 2016+ LX 570 is much better looking than the 470. Are you the original owner of the '06?
I have both the LX470 and 570
I would like to know something about the LX450 with which other truck it is comparable
Landcruiser 80 series.
LX450 was made in 1996 and 1997, last 2 years of the 80 series.
I love your videos friend. 😍
I'm from Angola - Luanda!
Could you tell me how much these cars currently cost in the United States?
I assume you are referring to a 2008-10 LX570 and a 2006-07 LX470
So, let's just say a clean, rust free with less than 360k kilometers (200k miles)
LX470 - 16-20k
LX570 - 20 -27k
If they were Landcruisers, same years add about 2-4k
Funny thing is, Lexus is about 7-10k more new, but after 10 years, the LC is worth more... just the look and heritage/reputation.
If you go newer LX (2013-15 and 2016+) the price jumps quite bit.
If you go older than the 2006 (vvti 275hp engine) to a 1998-2002 LX470 you can get to the 8k-12k range and 2003-2005 when they did the new dash and went to 5spd transmission (vs 4spd with OD) it is 12k-17k.
Great trucks and can go to 1 million kms when maintained right.
Lx470 is a beautiful car
I actually really like the updated 2014 LX570 wheels on this 470. If you own the black 470, is it possible to do a bit deeper explanation on that? What other Lexus wheel sets would fit the 470? Do the current dark tint 2020-21 GX wheels fit? I’d wonder what the 470 would look like with these 2014 wheels on a light color like white or silver.
The 2014 LX wheels really look great on the LX470. So wheels that are 5 x150 bolt pattern will work. However the LX470 (100 series) has a floating front hub, so you will need to get spacers. Not ebay or Amazon spacers, they will not fit. They will say its for your LX, but don't waste your time with those... you have to get the Spidertrax spacers. Sold by Slee in CO. You only need the spidertrax in the front, the rear can take those Ebay ones...
Thanks for the response. I have you a sub and a thumbs up as well. Enjoying your content and detailed explanations, really helpful.
I have a 2000 lx470 n my height control button sometimes works,any advice on that issue? By the way the best suv I’ve own,thanks.
present some of these beautiful trucks that have been tastefully rigged for outdoor adventures with the family or not
Thanks for the great video. Is it possible and relatively easy to back date a 570 front end to a 470? I love the 470 looks and love the amenities and power of the 570.
No, the body got a complete change over. Why not just get a 470?
@@CruisingTheLand I've been reading reviews of owners who have had both. Everyone says that they would choose the 570. Also, was a bit concerned about maintenance (timing belt and starter) on the 470. I would keep the vehicle for the long haul and will eventually have to do this. But maybe you're right. I think I need to test drive both.
Lx470 with bullet super charger and done
Hey CTL,
dude, first off -- love your videos. I'm falling in love with these vehicles and your videos. I was wondering what you thought about the GX-470?
I'm going to be in the market next month for a Land Cruiser-ish vehicle and want this to be the car i will probably get for the rest of my life lol. Looking for a 100 series as my budget is under 20k, hence why i'm looking for a GX (newer).
I have had LX470 and 100 series. I have not owned a GX or 4runner. The GX is the Lexus versiin of the 4runner (or Landcruiser Prado sold im other markets).
The GX is fast becoming an Overland vehicle as the soccer moms have returned those leasee long ago. Very capable and good supply for off road mods amd parts. You can't go wring either way, but will you look at Land Cruisers ans say... shudda...
The prices have gone up, on both, and will hold as they are recognized as great overlanders.
@@CruisingTheLand thank you bro! i think i will go ahead and search for land cruiser just for the raw'ness of the vehicle. maybe one day i will be a collector of 'em as well. where is the best place to purchase used ones? I want to stay away from the dealerships, right?
@@ghettotroof dealerships arr fine. Sometimes they dont know ehat they have if its a trade in. Both dealer and private sale. Cargurus is good. Stick to southern cars, away from thr salt belt and always pull a carfax!
@@CruisingTheLand Thanks good sir! Thanks for the content, i would know nothing about LC's without you.
Did the LX570 wheels fit the LX470 without any issues? no need for spacers?
Spacers required for the front to clear and have the center cap fit.
I prefer this look even on the 479 OEM wheels to come out flush with the fender, vs being tucked in.
Hey bud, I’m looking to buy a nice steering wheel for my lx470. I For the life of me cannot find a tan steering wheel with the lighter wood grain. Any store or websites you can recommend to find one? eBay has nothing. Thanks for the help love the channel keep up the good work
Hi!
What size rims did you put on that lx470?
Looked nice. I may steal that idea from you.
Thanks.
P.s. do you think it effected speedometer much?
The rims on the 2006 LX470 100 series are from a 2014 LX570 200 series. Same bolt pattern of course (5x150) no spacers needed, although the 1.5" Spidertrax make the fit look great. Same overall circumference, so speedo not affected.
Great review.!
Love the content

Thanks again for all of the great details of differences. Just to clarify, When the V8 blocks are formed in Japan on the 4.7 and 5.7. Is it just LC and LX motors that are MRI examined? Or as you said All V8 4.7 and 5.7 made in Japan with imagaging. Really wondering if this would apply to the 4Runner 4.7 ?
Yes I still want the LC. Thanks.
4.7 in Japan... not in US.
I want this lx470 so bad...but in India, the prices are so high around 25000 dollars...that is the lowest
I know this is off topic but what would you rather have a 08 gx470 or a 08 fj cruiser?
FJ Cruiser. Heavily Modded.
I like the display in the LX 470 much better
How’s the LX 570 so far? I’m eyeing a lx 570 with 130k with one owner.
Had it 14 years and drives like new w/230k
LX 470 is Not a Land Cruiser period! Not the 05 06 07 08 2019 stop 🛑. A GX is not a Land Cruiser UGH you fanboys need to give it a rest. LX470 have height adjustments that variant alone disqualified it. I have owned a 91 80 series and currently own a 2008 200 series Land Cruiser it’s like all the hipsters want to turn the Lexus into an icon it’s not. Nuff said.
Hey Jimmy, Landcruiser is definitely the brand and been around over 50 years... but...
The LX450 apart from.different badging, had wood trim...
The LX470, yes has AHC, but that can be deleted and the 2006 and 2007 about 70% came with the same AHC... and they are still Landcruisers. They are ALL made in the Japan. I have driven both and owned both. Yes I prefer the LC head lights and less trim (not fond of the cladding) but it is same drivetrain, frame, body etc... so its a rebadged Landcruiser.
On the 200 version 570, I prefer the LC KDSS system vs having AHC, but I do have both. Yes the LC has better approach angle etc... and you can tow more with a non AHC. I agree that the GX is not a Landcruiser, thats a glorified 4Runner... but try not to be a hater on the Landcruiser's step brother... he is the same blood and is family.
Are those aftermarket taillights on your LX570? They seem darker than mine. If so, where did you get them. Thanks.
Aftermarket tinted with tint paint, polished etc...
Black is just so nice for these lx. A black 570 will blow the 470 away. Lol
Did you use spacers on the black 100 series to mount the 13-15 wheels?
Yes, but only for aesthetician, they fit either way.
The LX470 in my opinion is much better
If you have a choice between 2 - 2000 LX 470 series with 200K miles - which would you get. I will be converting it to an appropriately equipped overlanding rig.
#1 - a rust belt LX - with a good amount of undercarriage rust for $5k
#2- a southern LX - no rust for $11k
My friend sold a 2002 186k California rust free Landcruiser for 11500. So I would say keep shopping. Stay away from rust... the body will far apart before the engine can do its 600k
@@CruisingTheLand The rusted $5k LX is local. By not having to travel 1200 miles to get a rust-free LX during Covid makes it easier to acquire and start the build process asap.
I asked the question because my gut told me what you have pointed out, also how miserable it is to work on bumpers and suspension with a rusted undercarriage.
THX
That’s nuts that a 5.7 L truck engine revs up to nearly 6k, as a comparison, my 94 Toyota pickup 4 cyl topped out at 5k haha
I have a question. Thinking of upgrading from a 2010 rx350 to an LX. Are the V8’s unreliable one they get older. I keep my cars for 10+ years. Have you had any issues?
The LXs are 100% built in Japan. They are extremely reliable, especially if you follow the scheduled maintenance. They regularly go 500k+ miles.
What's the mpg of the Lx470 vs Lx570 ?
you really sell that 470!! Now i Gotta have it...
The Black LX470 sold... it was a sweet ride.
Hi man, Rear suspension of Lx470 is Hydraulic, Is it durable ???
The front and rear AHC, Automatic Height Control, is extremely reliable and durable. Unlike air suspensions that fail, (I know, I own a air suspension E55) the hydraulic system is well enclosed. Just be wary of rust belt LX470s, as the hydraulic lines are exposed underneath and are subject to rust.
i LEXUS LX 570
For Looks.. LX470 is better. Timeless beauty
I just test drove a 2006 lx470 and found myself wanting something more modern, like you stated, the 06 lx470 was a car more or less with 1998 technology.
I'm going to try to find a 2010 lx570 to test drive, the price difference between an 06-07 470 and a 2010 570 aren't that different but I'm hoping for a nicer experience.
This is coming from an owner of a 03' Element 5 speed and a '14 535i m sport.
Thanks for posting these videos though I've been using them to drive my research/planning/obsessing
Watching the market for the 2020-2021 LX 570 to drop around $55,000 and then going to snatch one up. Right now in early 2024 they're still around $65-70K.
Why not a 2016? Same face-lift as 20-21.. I recently purchased a 2016 LC and will be doing a build video series. Sold my 2008.
@@CruisingTheLandGreat question. I prefer to get the last 1-2 years due to lower mileage. I like to buy my vehicles with less than 50,000 miles so that I know maintenance was not skipped. All I have to track is did it get oil changes regularly and I am then good to go.
great video, I would have touched on the 5 speed vs the 6 speed in the 570. MPG difference and the need for premium or not.
True, 570 got the 6 speed...
MPGs same... except 100 more HP in 570
@@CruisingTheLand wow! Thanks for the quick response. I'm trying to find which is the "best year" for the 200 series...leaning towards a 13/14. Any advice? I'm aggressively shopping. Ty
@@GameOver321 I do like the 2016 styling... but that 6 speed is a little faster 0-60 (not that we race our 200s).. I have a 2008 LC and LX.
@@CruisingTheLand definitely no racing. I prefer the look and price (lol) of the 15 and older. These have definitely gone up in value. Yes, I've been watching your videos.
