TOYOTA PRADO VS LEXUS GX470

If you are a car lover like me, you would have noticed lately the increase in the number of Lexus GX 470 in Lagos particularly. Before now, Toyota Land cruiser Prado and 4runner dominated the SUV luxury world but we are starting to see a shift. So I took my search online to find out which is more preferably and guess what? There are so many comparison with different conclusions from both auto professionals and car users. Read some of the comment and pls feel free to add yours in the comment boxes below

Mark O,

I keep hearing that the 4runner and the GX470 is the same. Well, people it's not! You guys really need to sit in both to compare and it's not the same! It's Luxury vs. Economy. I can see as far as size and some of the parts, but there is no comparison. I am tired of people coming up to me at the gas station saying crap like you are just paying for the name. The 4runner is the same...IT"S NOT DAMN IT!!! The 4runner rides like a bumpy truck and the GX is smooth and quiet. The leather and interior alone should shut people up, but they just don't get it. Sorry guys I just need to vent when people has to be negative just because you have a nicer car……………

Well, they do have different bodies and interiors. The GX470 body is taller and has a side-hing rear door. In contrast, the 4Runner has a traditional top-hinged rear hatch. The GX470 is significantly heavier.

But the frame, powertrain (engine, transmission, driveshaft, differential, axles) and basic suspension design are the same.

One thing of interest to me that the both cars have in common is their tyre size. They both use a size 265/65R17. So if you drive any of this luxury car and you are wondering where you can get good tyres like Dunlop, Bridgestone, Toyo ….etc. Just give us a call on 07011311444 and we will have it delivered to your door step.
