Width was no problem for me with a 3 car garage but height was very close. When I bought the GX I was not even thinking about it till I got it home. It cleared the metal beams on the door by less than one inch, Better remember to never have it in the high position when I pull in

Myself and my brother both bought 05's last Spring and neither of us have had any "Clunk". By far the best vehicle I have ever owned. Had first big snow storm yesterday and I was very impressed with how it handled terrible conditions. That all wheel drive system is a huge improvement over my past 4-runners.

I would advise getting the KDSS it really does work. My brother and I both bought 2005's a few weeks apart and he did not get the KDSS. He has driven mine and says he notices the difference and wishes he had got it. He is even thinking of trading in for a 2006 because of this. Also I really like the sport package, The smoked lights look better than clear and like the Black Birds eye and graphite combo, Looks very sporty.

"Power ratings are down slightly for '06, to 263 horsepower and 323 pound-feet of torque, but that's only because the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) has instituted new test procedures that tend to deliver more conservative numbers. The engine itself, and its performance, have not changed. The 2006 GX 470 is every bit as powerful as the 2005 model. " http://www.nctd.com/review-intro.cfm?Vehic...0&ReviewID=1754

I got $2,500 off on my 2005 that had about same sticker as yours. try for about $4,500 and settle for no less than $2,500. But whatever you do, buy it. Best vehicle I ever owned

Keep the GX and get rid of the Wife? But seriously the GX is probably not the best SUV for an elderly couple. Would be better for her to have something smaller like a Volvo or Subura 4 wheel drive.

Even with my compatible Motorola phone it does not allow you to transfer whole phone book at once, you must transfer one number at a time. Does seem to be a little bug in the Lexus system as have seen here that this is happening with all phones.

Here you go right out of Websters: enthusiast (noun) : a person filled with enthusiasm: as; a : one who is ardently attached to a cause, object, or pursuit <a sports car enthusiast>; b : one who tends to become ardently absorbed in an interest Notice they even use sports car as an example. Not saying there are no enthusiasts here, as we must be to be here, Just that in the big World most Lexus SUV owners are not what I would describe as "enthusiasts"

For one reason, this car is not widely produced as some other models. Second, there's not alot of problems, which I am glad. ← Not widely produced? Could have fooled me as I see a few every day in my daily 5 mile commute . Never saw one other Maserati in the year plus of owning and that board has quite a bit of action. Most car forums are for enthusiast and I don't really think too many Lexus owners are real enthusiasts.

I have the Sport Package which includes the KDSS suspension and I have the Ivory seats but has the black upper trim. I like the contrasting two tone look that would have cost a few thousand extra to get on my Maserati. After driving numerous SUV's over the years the first thing I noticed on my GX was almost no body roll at all when going around a corner at a high rate of speed. My brother also bought a GX less the KDSS and his does have some body roll but still it was better than past SUV's I have driven

I have KDSS and find if anything the steering is a little loose for my taste. My brother and I both bought 2005 GX's and he did not opt for the Sport so no KDSS, We have switched a couple times and he agrees that the KDSS is amazing at going around corners and curves with almost no body roll. I liked the color of the Sport interior, The Black eye gives it a more sporty look to the Golden Eyes more Luxurious look. Also like the darker smoked rims, Headlights and back lights. Then again my brother likes his look, So I guess it's a matter of choice. The other thing he did like better on mine was the exhaust tip and for about $70 we bought one at Lexus and put on in about 5 minute. We both love the GX and neither have had a single complaint yet. P.S Seems like a great price, Mine cost $53,000. And that was after getting screwed on my trade in

Nice grill guard Tex, Went and checked out their site. They say its a simple bolt but I have been fooled in the past. Was it really easy to put on? Thanks in Advance

About the only grill guard I have come across for the GX is this one. Was wondering if anybody has put one on, Or would ones offered for 4runner fit?

agree with Jugdish, If My GX gets a little clunk It would not change my opinion of what is by far the best SUV I have ever owned. Have been waiting years for an SUV that offers the Comfort, Luxury, Sport and true off road ability that the GX gives me. Both me and my brother have March 2005 builds and neither of us have had any issues including the clunk as of yet

I know I did terrible on my deal. Sticker on mine was a little over $56K for 2005 w/Sport Package, NAV/ DVD and 3rd row. Got $3,000 off sticker but they gave me only $60,000 for my 1 year old Maserati Spyder that I paid over $90,000 for. They swore that is all a wholesaler would give for the car and that they would not put it on the their lot. Low and behold the next day they had the car in the newspaper for $69,900 I heard they got around $66,000 for it. So yes I really feel I got screwed. What was also funny was they actually owed me about $7,000 and when I picked up the GX they told me a check would be mailed out in a few days. Doubt I could go get a car and tell them I will get a check to them in a couple of days. But am loving the GX, So who really cares?
