Discover why the Lexus LX 470 is trusted worldwide as one of the most capable and reliable vehicles. We can confidently say this truck has been the most dependable vehicle we've ever owned.
This LX 470 is the Lexus version of the legendary Land Cruiser 100 Series, featuring the renowned "Million Mile" 4.7 2UZ-FE engine, all-wheel drive, third-row seating, multi-zone climate control, a rear tow hitch, and a center locking differential. As an LX 470, it has all the luxury amenities you expect, including heated front seats, factory navigation, a six-disc CD changer, a sunroof, and power rear wind wings. The factory Active Height Control (AHC) system is working perfectly. We recently replaced a leaking driver's shock, which was the only issue we know about. All sport and comfort suspension settings function as intended.
This vehicle would serve well as an excellent family vehicle, an adventure rig, or a fantastic daily driver.
Over the years we've owned her, there has been little need for maintenance other than modifications and upgrades (see list below). We always use genuine Toyota/Lexus parts when applicable. The previous owner maintained extensive receipts from a reputable local Toyota repair shop. I'm happy to locate these for interested buyers. This is a truly reliable vehicle—I wouldn't hesitate to drive her to Alaska and back tomorrow.
Cosmetic Condition Notes for Buyers: To bring Alice to optimal cosmetic condition, a few items could be addressed:

Rock chips on the front hood.
Tears in the driver's and passenger's front seats (currently covered).
A good carpet shampoo would be beneficial.
The cut front bumper is for clearance. Aftermarket, one would tidy it up.

With 260K miles, she's not perfect, but she's still a great rig.
Important Services:

The timing belt and water pump were done at 213K miles before we purchased her.
The exhaust manifold and entire exhaust were replaced with ceramic headers before our acquisition.
The brakes were just inspected, and lots of life left on Lexus pads.

The previous owner, a dedicated nurse and soccer mom, primarily used this vehicle for school runs and commutes. She arrived in bone stock condition. The only issue I still need to figure out is that the parking brake seems stuck and does not want to pull up.
