Overland Classifieds :: 2006 Lexus GX470

We’ve had a number of interesting Lexus overland builds listed on our forum recently, including a very distinct 2018 GX460. It’s perhaps not the first OEM that comes to mind when we think of overlanding; still, the combination of impressive all-terrain capability matched with renowned driver comfort is a great combination. This 2006 example has covered just 148,000 miles, has been meticulously serviced, and showcases a number of premium modifications for overland travel. 

From the Seller:

“It was specially ordered in Nautical Blue with a gray leather interior. Optioned with the rear spoiler and third-row seating, it is also equipped with a center diff lock, navigation, and the desirable VVTI motor. [With me] being an aviation technician, and the previous owner being from a Toyota dealership, this car has been kept in excellent mechanical condition.”
