Jtaylo12 Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Hello, I am new here. I currently own a ES and I am trying to decide if I am going to trade it in for the GX 460. The biggest thing that I can not get past in the side swinging opening rear door. Can anyone please comment how much of and inconvenience this is with the current owners out there. I would truly appreciate it. This seems like it would be a huge annoyance. Any and all comments greatly appreciated and welcomed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmarso Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Hi - I drive a 2007 GX470 with same door configuration, nearly 200K miles. I've never understood the complaint about the side-hinged door; it has never been an inconvenience for any of my family. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eugene.s Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Jtaylo12, you better read about the truck more. If your only concern is about the way the trunk opens...well, just choose another car... If your selection pattern is deeper than that, post what you want. I am sure that fellow forum members will help you with a choice. Just find an appropriate forum for that. The GX460 is, by definition, designated to that model only Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KMM Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I was concerned about this as well before purchasing our GX, however I actually find I like it better than having the back lift up. The keyless entry enables you to touch a button that unlocks the back and open it - much easier than digging around for keys while juggling bags to press a button on the remote.

Elcorbs Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 I have had both the side opening in the RAV 4 and now the GX 460 and the lift on the CRV. I don't even think about one or the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
