Hello All,
This is my first post, so be gentle. I have a 2001 RX 300 with 63,000 miles. I'm torn between getting a new RX 350, or a 2006 or 2007 GX. I like the look of the RX, but I wanted something more truck like in nature. What do you guys think. What are the prons and cons of both. Thanks in advance. chair.gif

Unless you plan to go offroad, stick with the RX.

there are several pros and cons with both...

Rx350
Pros: better gas mileage, feels more "handy" for city use especially if you live or drive around in a more crowded city, has HIDs available if you wish, has a optional power rear door which people prefer over the Gx's sode opening door.

Cons: personally the design for me how they tried to make it a crossover suv, a lot of blindspots when u drive it, due to their crossover design, no 3rd row seat option if you need it, smaller space inside compared to the GX.

Gx470
Pros: more truck-like size w/o the rough ride/bounce of a truck, tows more than the Rx350, more interior space, has available 3rd row seat,better design for me at least, and has really good off-road capabilities w/o compromising the smooth ride while off-roading

Cons: side opening rear door, no HIDs avail even as an option, a lot worse on gas mileage than the Rx



Hope that helps!! wink.gif

Add for GX true 4WD, locking transaxle, higher ride if you need real off-road or bad weather capability; truck vs truck wannabe....

And for $200 you can get HID's on your GX from xenondepot.com
