Lexus Gx 470 2009

##title##
The GX shares exterior design with the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado, sold in Asia, Australia, and Europe, and is based on the same platform which also underpins the 4Runner, FJ Cruiser. In the Lexus lineup, the GX is situated between its crossover counterpart, the RX, and the premium full-size LX. Production of the GX occurs at Lexus' Tahara plant in Japan.

The Lexus GX 470 was introduced as a 2003 model in November 2002, and released at the same time as the now-defunct competitor, the Lincoln Aviator. The design incorporated welded steel body-on-frame construction, an electronically controlled five-speed automatic transmission, and permanent four-wheel drive with a center locking Torsen differential. The suspension shared its layout with the Toyota 4Runner equipped with the rear air suspension, while adding Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS) and Downhill Assist Control (DAC). AVS could adjust damper firmness continuously while DAC modulated descents down slopes. Power came from a 4.7 L, 32-valve, four-cam V8 2UZ-FE engine originally rated at 235 horsepower (175 kW) at 4,800 rpm and 320 lb·ft (434 N·m) of torque at 3,400 rpm. Towing capacity was rated at 5,000 pounds (2,300 kg). Ground clearance measured 8.3 inches (210 mm), with an approach angle of 30° and a departure angle of 29° raised (25° normal). The GX 470 carried a drag coefficient of Cd=0.38.

The interior came equipped with two rows of seating, while an optional third row allowed up to eight passengers to be carried. However, the folding third row was tight with only 24 inches (610 mm) of legroom. A Mark Levinson audio system along with a Rear Seat Entertainment System were available as options. A side-opening rear tailgate was standard.

For 2004, the GX 470's transmission was upgraded to a sealed unit with no dipstick. An optional Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (KDSS) became available as a late-year addition. KDSS freed and adjusted the vehicle's stabilizer bars for greater articulation allowing the wheels to move with less restriction over uneven terrain, and used front and rear hydraulic pressure-sensing valves and larger stabilizer bars to reduce body roll during on-road conditions. Safety upgrades for 2004 included a roll-sensing feature for the side curtain airbags, a tire pressure monitoring system, and an optional rear backup camera system.

For 2005, the GX 470's engine gained 35 horsepower (26 kW) with the addition of VVT-i for a total of 270 horsepower (201 kW). This allowed the SUV to be certified as an Ultra-Low Emission Vehicle II (ULEV II) in the U.S. Other upgrades included an enhanced navigation system, Bluetooth compatibility, and more voice commands. A Sport model joined the lineup, including the Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System and different styling such as smoked bezel headlamps, added chrome trim, and black bird's eye maple wood.

For 2006, changes in SAE engine testing procedures resulted in a slight drop in the amount of stated power for the V8 to 263 hp (196 kW), and Lexus Link telematics was offered in North America. For 2007, the GX 470 was largely unchanged, with upgrades for cabin electronics including a new generation navigation system, auxiliary input jack for devices like an iPod, DVD video playback when parked, and larger optional rear entertainment video screen.
