I've been wanting to get out in the mountains to explore since moving to Reno, NV from out east and my Honda Civic wasn't up to the task. I decided on a 5th Gen 4Runner Trail/TRD Offroad with KDSS, but was not willing to buy new. In my research, I started reading more about the Lexus GX and since I was struggling to find a suitable used 4Runner within a couple of hours drive, I opened my shopping parameter's to include 2011-2012 GX's. Ended up landing a 2011 Lexus GX 460 Base more readily and cheaper than a 4Runner and so far I've been very pleased with it and glad it worked out that way.
