The GX470 is no stranger to the Expedition Portal team, and was, in fact, a project vehicle for Overland Journal. The team chose the Lexus specifically for its heavy-duty body-on-frame construction, powerful and dependable 4.7-liter V8 motor, 1,500-payload rating, 5-link airbag rear suspension, and overall reliability. The build was a resounding success, and Publisher and Chairman Scott Brady showcased the finished build on the Expedition Portal Youtube channel. We’ve since featured several expedition-ready examples to our classifieds, including a 2005 GX470 Sport and a 2006 GX470. Today’s low-mileage (103,400 miles) offering has been meticulously maintained, showcases extensive premium modifications, and would make the perfect turnkey adventure rig for the upcoming summer season.
From the Seller:
“The most pampered Lexus GX470 you will find with some amazing upgrades. Clean Carfax, title in hand, all major maintenance, and upgrades done within the last few months. True turn-key overlanding, camping, soccer mom rig that can do it all! Sleep two in the sleeper drawer, and you could easily add a rooftop tent to the Sherpa roof rack (rooftop tent in photo not included). Over $20,000 in major upgrades and maintenance.”
