Land Cruiser owner buys an OLD Lexus GX 470. Was it a mistake? Luxury + V8 Power = Peak Toyota?

I bought a used 2008 Lexus GX470 after already owning a brand new Toyota Land Cruiser… but was it a smart move or a huge mistake? In this video, I walk through why I decided to purchase a GX470, what drew me to Toyota’s legendary V8 reliability, and how this classic luxury off-road SUV compares to modern vehicles like the new Land Cruiser 250. I also break down the real reasons I needed a second vehicle, my first impressions of the GX470, and what I plan to do with it moving forward. The Lexus GX470 has developed a massive reputation for reliability, off-road capability, and long-term durability thanks to its proven 2UZ-FE V8 platform and Land Cruiser heritage. But buying a 17-year-old luxury SUV still comes with risks. In this video, I share my honest thoughts, expectations, and whether this purchase will help preserve my Land Cruiser or become an expensive mistake. If you’re considering buying a GX470, Land Cruiser, 4Runner, or other Toyota body-on-frame SUV, this video will give you real ownership perspective and help you decide if older Toyota platforms are still worth buying today.
