BobsGX470

You should also notice that the back up light lens has a similar light green tint to them. This is as Lexus designed it to be.

This info looks like the format that Lexus does use for ordering vehicles. So kudos to you for finding this info.

The only difference on vehicles that have the RSES is down by the front passenger right foot, the plastic cowling just sticks out about an inch more, so the floor mat would have to be made smaller in that area to fit properly.

They are also there to quiet down the engine compartment and to cut down on dust and water intrusion.

The black plastic piece is made to snap on an off.

I guess you are correct. The happy meter gives 17.5 while actual calculations bases on fillups give 15.5 . Why cant Lexus make the happy meter accurate? Those mpg meters on vehicles are almost always optimistic. No matter who the manufacturer is.

Remove the black plastic cover at the base of the wiper arm. It snaps off. Then the wiper arm can lock in outward position.

A rock hit the lens. Now it is fogged up and the signal light doesn't blink. Check ebay. I see them there all the time.

Even though most Lexus dealers will say they can't be turned off, the DRL's can be turned off. The dealer needs to use their scan tool and access the menu where they can be turned off. I had it done for no charge on my previous 05, then 06 and my current 07 GX. If the dealer says it can't be done, ask them to look it up in the Lexus service manual, it's in there. Now some dealers will say that it is a safety issue and they will not defeat it. Then it's time to try another dealer. I always had the DRL's turned off before I took delivery of the vehicle.

My 07 GX does it automatically. I believe when I purchased the latest DVD disc last year, the software included this as its been standard on all the 08-09 Lexus models.

It's normal. That is just the way the navigation screen is setup.

The factory approved XM radio is either installed at the port or at the dealership. It is not installed when the GX is being assembled in Japan. Same applies for the tow hitch.

Hmmm, my 07 GX doesn't have a key hole on the passenger side. I believe it's to prevent theft since that is the side most thiefs use to break into a vehicle.

The only replaceable parts listed for the side view mirrors are the mirror glass itself and the entire mirror assembly. You can check ebay. I've seen side veiw mirrors in various colors on that site.

Lexus doesn't offer chrome wheels as a factory or port installed option. Those were done at the dealership. Tell the dealer you want the wheels and tires that came on the vehicle. Well, that is unless you do want them?

Thanks for the feedback. It didn't come with 3rd row seats or rear air. If I bought the seats from someone, and that included the brackets, how difficult would it be for the dealer or a body shop to install? The 2 rear inside panels are also different and those things are pretty pricey. You also will not be able to use the retractable tonneau cover that comes with the non 3rd seat models.

I had the dealer turn off the DRL's so I imagine it will be quite a while before those bulbs burn out. Never did like any vehicle with DRL's.

I used 93 octane fuel when I lived back east in my 07 GX and now use 91 octane fuel out here and I notice no difference whatsoever. As long as its labeled Premium Unleaded, there should be no difference in performance.

I hope not but this guy sounds like a troll. He posted the same thing on the other Lexus board and never responded back with an update.

And have a 3-4 month wait. Unless the dealer can locate a GX with the KDSS package before it gets to an assigned dealer and swap it. Worth a try.

Up until June when I lived in upstate New York, 90% of the time, men were driving the GX. Now out here in California along the central coast, the same holds true.

The strongest hitch made for the GX470 is the one from the Lexus dealer. This hitch is held on with 12 bolts. All other brands are only held on with 8 bolts. That right there makes a big difference in strength and durability. What is your life and property worth to you?
