TM8000 Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 I was told by Luxus dealershi service person that my 2003 GX470's engine is VVT-i but specification does not say that while 2005/2006 models are equipped with VVT-i according to the manufacturer's website. Is it true that 2003 is VVT-i engine??? I asked him twice but he keeps telling me so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denslexusgx470 Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 No. only the 05s and newer have the VVT-i engine. As long as it's only a 235hp, it's not VVT-i. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM8000 Posted September 23, 2006 Author Share Posted September 23, 2006 Thank you denslexusgx470 for your advice. I wonder why the dealer's service consultant does not know about a car he treats... Anyway, I am happy with my 2003 which 235hp engine gives enough power. I used to drive Escalade ESV(345hp) but I do not feel any weakness of power in my GX470. GX470 is really a nice vehicle even though it is 2003 model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denslexusgx470 Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 no problem TM8000. :) No matter what the age of the vehicle is, as long as it doesn't have the clunk or vibration, it should be a great vehicle that will never compare to your previous Escalade.
