Wether you want a higher or lower milage SUV for under $10,000 dollars we cover both of these popular Japanese SUV choices. The Toyota 4Runner or the Lexus RX 350.
Just bought an 07 Lexus RX350. AWD. Great condition. Stayed in 1 family it's entire life. 294K miles but it drives better than the brand new Subaru I bought in 08. It's so quiet. So smooth. Steering is so tight. It has the qps and tape player. $3,200. I couldn't be happier.
On the RX, please check the oil cooler and vvti lines to make sure the previous owner changed them from the factory rubber/combo lines to the OEM all metals ones. The rubber wears out (dumping your oil onto the road) and it's a well-known issue.
I am SO GLAD you brought this to my attention! I am going to go under the vehicle and check it out. If it's rubber, I'll post a RUclips video on it's replacement. Thank you for knowing this, I had no clue!
@@ModernGreaser hello modern greaser, what happened? Did you change the parts?
Yes. This happened to my toyota sienna. It blew got off the highway and realized the the burning smoke of the oil on the exhaust. It dumped all its oil. If I have not got off that exit that motor would have been toast by the time I realized. Replaced with the metal line 45k miles later and now still going strong at 230k miles.
I have a 20 rx350 but do i need to do this for my car as well.
@@asadb1990 No. The new ones are all metal.
Love my 2008 RX350. It's been a great vehicle and we've been looking for 4Runner for my husband for all of the reasons listed. They are wildly reliable.
I have a 96 4runner with 480,000 miles and my wife has a 2008 Lexus RX350 with 160,000 miles. Best most reliable vehicles ever!
Can't beat The Japanese! BEST luxury and import car on the market! Glad you have had good luck!!
480,000 miles?! 😮
@@navinstrument8353I believe it. I worked with a guy once that had like an 05 corolla with 500k miles on it and ran perfect.
Just bought a 2009 GS350 AWD . 100,000 miles, mint condition. Benn two months, no probs. I enjoy it just like you!
I just bought a 2008 silver gs 350 a month ago. Love it.. 👍
78k miles is nothing for Rx350. Even 150k miles is nothing too. They are still smooth like new cars
You can tell your a teacher and not a salesman ! Great review
Hahah thanks! Yep. I'm used to not making money, so why not give people an honest representation of a product. Thanks for watching!
Great review! As a 2004 RX 330 owner, you are definitely right about it being a smooth and high-quality vehicle.
Hey man just got one as my first car in bamboo pearl and I was wondering if you’d say it is a feminine car?
@@nicholasmaglione I got one too, IMO yeah it is kinda feminine but I don't mind at all lol. It's a pretty great daily, super practical.
@@nicholasmaglione yes...they are like driving a beautiful expensive purse...
I got a 2005 lexus rx330 thunderbolt edition and I love it my first suv and omg it's gorgeous inside and comfortable and drives smooth I love the steering wheel
@@stevewalther2293 hotel on wheels lol
For an amateur, best review I have seen. I have seen many.
Thank you so much for the kind words. I actually had this video private for the longest time, because I wasn't super happy with it. Thank you for the support and for watching!
Right I have a gx470 so I watch these a lot and this dude definitely does a good job of explaining the difference.
@@ModernGreaser It’s to our benefit that you are sharing this really well done video! Thank you so much 😊
@@ModernGreaser you never told us what year these cars you have were made...
HUGE!! Is the 4 runner an 06? 05? 07? What year is the Lexus?
Lol
Those are my two choices at the moment but I'm leading towards the Lexus
I bought a 2000 Lexus RX 300 for only $2,500 and I couldn’t be happier with my choice. It still runs just like a brand new car and it’s only had 1 owner before me.
What did you go with?
@@petermonsen2854 I went with subaru impreza wagon 😬
@@drunkenp0t what year?
@@jonr2192 1995 with 86k miles
That was a really good review! It makes me wanna get a Lexus RX 350 now but i gotta wait for my Prius to die out and i don’t see that happening anytime soon. You got a hell of a deal on them btw.
u need to be in the right region and be diligent searching wide! travel if necessary or if u can
We got rid of our 2020 Ford Fusion to get into a 2009 RX350 with 80k miles, I do not regret the decision at all. The Ford gave us a lot of issues for a new car, namely head gaskets. Once the market inflated, we sold the Ford in exchange for the Lexus quality!
Holy shit I have a 2019 FF
Are serious? Your gaskets went on a 2020? I thought hey fixed the coolant intrusion issue!!! I have the revised 2019 block in my 2018
I’m freaked after reading your comment
@@Lord_Don I was shocked, once I found out they made the changes I was perplexed on why it was doing that. All I can say is, change the oil regularly, don't over stress the engine. As long as you take care of it you should have decent reliability! I hope/think ours was just a dud.
@@ToyotaCelicaDude1 1.5 or 2.0?? Please lmk
1.5@@Lord_Don
@@ToyotaCelicaDude1 my jesus I'll be screwed [again]
On the 4Runner, you can also turn the key left and right (hold it) on the back to roll the rear window up and down!
Oh man, I forgot to mention that, good call!
@@ModernGreaser Hey would you say there is significant more room in the 4Runner cargo area for a dog to lie down than the RX or is it about the same?
@@andymschott I have a 55lb Australian Shepherd and the amount of room between the two vehicles is negligible. I would rather have the dog ride in the 4Runner, only because the vehicle is not as nice as the Lexus. There is PLENTY of room for a dog in each. We also have a couple baby strollers and I don't notice a significant difference in either vehicle space wise. Just a hair more in the 4runner. If your dog doesn't jump out, I think he or she would prefer the idea of the back window rolling down.
Scotty Kilmer approved
@@jeromeriley5595
What a peculiar thing to put on a car review video
@@TheFriendlyamoeba actually it’s pretty relevant
SCOTTYS AWATCHIN THIS!
I love my 4runner and it's very very reliable. I have used it for more than 3 years everyday across my country, I don't think the Lexus can with stand the terrible terrain I ride on.
You are correct. The Lexus is a great in town vehicle, not meant for the rough roads a 4Runner can handle. Thanks for watching!
Gx470 is more off-road capable than the 4runner to be honest lol, but the Rx is different for sure.
@@jordanmercier3616 I'll give it a try
@@sylvesteradim1532 it's a rebadged land cruiser Prado, V8 2uz-fe, center locking diff, full time 4wd, air suspension in the back from factory. You can usually find them cheaper than 4runners depending on ur market, and they're usually soccer mom vehicles so they aren't beat to shit like some 4runners.
I sure appreciate your perspective here to bring me back down to earth while car shopping & remember that I don’t need car payments to have a damn decent vehicle!
My successful mentor told me that vehicles depreciate and are simply tools for transport. You can certainly enjoy them and have nice cars like these, but it’s pointless to try impressing others with the vehicle you happen to drive! 👍😎
In 2021, I bought a 2007 2runner with 111k miles for $16k… hey I’m in the SF Bay Area. I think it’s indestructible! I gave it to my son last month who’s in college in SoCal. Last week, I bought a 2008 Lexus RX350, also a 2WD, for $13500, only has 74k miles. It’s gonna take another 7-10 business days for shipping. I’m excited!
That's a really good deal for the Lexus! Especially with the low miles. I've been looking at 07-09 RX350's for the last month here in eastern NC. $13,500 would be at least 130-150,00 plus miles on them.
Since you ask, I get between 25 and 32 mpg, (UK gallons) from my RX450H, in spite of living in a very hilly city. Winter is more expensive because the engine has to run and be warm to keep everyone's legs warm. I recommend avoiding air suspension, it's not very soft and enormously expensive to fix at around 10 years old. My car is now 11 years old, so I'm dipping into my savings. I might get away with just the top mount...
With "hybrid snow mode", the car was OK in light (5-10cm) snow in January.
Great point re: Lexus owner upkeep - I‘ve also found that used Lexuses often have excellent maintenance histories.
I love how much smaller the Lexus of this generation is compared to the 2010 remodel and the 2016 remodel
That's exactly why I bought the 2nd Gen model, along with it looking less fem than Gen 3 and less weird than Gen 1...
thank u for your video, and thank u for your service! (i.e as a school teacher, which is an invaluable thing to do) Ironically ,the lower spec RX of those years did have a tape deck as standard, just saw in another video!
I got one of these a month ago. It has 140k miles and I paid £3000. I love it to bits. Zero problems so far. So much comfort. never had a car like it. great review
I’d love one but the tax in the UK is a rip off every year
A pre-2016 RX450H is only £200/year road tax, and bulletproof.
yep, the lovely low prices of the U.K. Here in the U.S. even adjusted for income levels (not direct exchange rate which brexit annhilated for the GBP/ound), UK prices are sooo cheap!
Great video! I am a 1st owner of a 05 Rx 330 at 200,000 miles and it still runs great!
Little late to the party but:
1） Make sure both cars don't have the rubber oil cooler line or you can cause some catastrophic damage to your engine. Not sure which model it covered, but its definially on the lexus.
and The RX is based on a Camry/Highlander!
2) Make sure to do the transmission oil at 100k. I did my first trans oil at 165k (not recommended but the fluid was still red).
3) My lexus has the casset player hah
4) Lexus has a full sized spare under the car. My spare is still from 2004 lol.
5) Lexus has a snow mode
6) Center consol is movable froward and backwards
7) Make sure to put a pipe cleaner down the sunroof drain. Thats a common leaking water point into the cabin.
8) Spark plug at 120k PIA.
Overall, its a great car and I'm running it to the ground or until ti gives up.
Just bought an 06 rx330, 150k miles.... Every electronic component works flawlessly and the interior is good as new, runs smooth as butter. Was impeccably maintained. Getting lexuses for now on.
I'm about to purchase an 06 rx330 190k ..it seems very clean for around $5k or so
@@Soulfulvision1111 excellent! Buy it especially if a mechanic gives it a clean bill of health. That seems like a great price considering the market
@@xNickTheBrickx ok thank you I will check back here after I get the green light from the mechanic...
I agree with you. The truck based one is more fun to drive since it is engaging. The car based one is pleasantly boring. Serves diff purpose.
I have a 2010 RX350 and a 2016 NX200t....I've owned other brands but I have had NO issues with ANY Lexus...including my 2009 LS460(Traded for the RX and that thing ran perfectly)!
This is a very informative video and I like the presentation. Very good job on being able to present the difference between the two and why one is better or worse depending upon your needs. Great job
Most, if not all, of the RX350s were/are built in Canada. Only the hybrids are built in Japan.
That 63 chevy C10 is pretty sweet.
With older cars if you have a pick n pull nearby, you can go and take out the part you need and save tons if money for oem parts. The rates are standardized.
Just bought a Toyota Harrier Airs 2003/09 model with 1Mz-FE 3000cc V6.
This video helps a lot.
Thanks for the 📹
Rest job!!!! You helped me with my purchase decision. Keep up the good work!!!!
i drove over 20 years our german so called "premiums" ....but since i bought a used 2010 Lexus Hybrid with over 200000km i know now what quality and reliability really is ! only concern is the waterpump on the V6.
Nice!!! thanks for sharing
Back in the summer I decided I needed a trash and bike hauler. Of the 2 that I own that are large enough my truck is too old and tired (it was my dad's) for even weekly use and the Outback is too new (ok for groceries, but not trash). My goal was to stay under $7k if possible ( trash car remember). I narrowed the search to a Highlander or Pilot. My bro just bought a '10 Infinity and also recommended the Volvo, but I didn't like the track record of either ( and repairs can get expensive). The Forerunners available just didn't seem to have the right price AND mileage. I was leaning very strongly toward the Highlander when I decided to research the RX350. Plenty of room, superb reliability, loaded with luxuries ( which immediately sold my wife-Lexus is very popular with the ladies) the RX350 rang the bell.
I discovered that most of the used Lexus's available were in very good condition. I guess if you can afford a brand new luxury car, you can afford a garage and meticulous maintenance. I found a local female driven ( they usually are) '08 AWD with 130k for $8k. Obviously garaged, it's perfect inside and out except for no cargo cover. Seemed too pristine for trash, but I put down a used shower curtain in the back and use it anyway. It came with a hitch so I don't have to put the bikes inside.
Yours has very low mileage and even though it was 12 years old I would call it a pretty doggone good price. Although you said, and I've heard others say, that 87 is fine the manual calls for 91 octane or higher. i ran some 87 through mine with no hiccups, but since I only drive mine once a week, and don't have to buy much fuel, I use non-ethanol 93 octane.
I am very happy with the Lexus. It has tons of luxury, drives great, runs like a sewing machine, and is often the nicest car at the dump.
As a 00 RX 300 owner you speak the truth as to how smooth the RX is
I have both but RX350 AWD drives 100% better and way faster both are reliable
Nice! Thank you for the info on the AWD! Perfect for northern living :)
i just for .seeing this movie. bought a rx350 2006 198,000km. I'm super excited about the car now!
The Lexus is closer related to the Highlander. Some of the interior elements are very similar.
Still driving my LEXUS RX 350 2008 n drives like new. Must admit I kept it under garqage n only done 95000kms !
The 2nd gen RX is essentially a highly trimmed Highlander from the same year, those will be most of the parts you use. Just keep an eye on the power steering rack, the car is otherwise excellent.
Nice review. Is the Lexus full time AWD and if so does it consume more gas?
The one in this video is RWD. You can get an AWD, but you will see a slight decrease in mpg, since any spinning rotational mass such as the differential shafts cut down on efficiency. Edmunds said the awd sill gets 19/24, but that seems more like the mpg for the rwd.
You’re reviewing two of my favorite vehicles I’m in the market for now 2009 4Runner and RX350 2009 Lexus
I need Lexus for business
And 4Runner for camping. The prob is that it’s cutting it close if I wanted to tow a Nest airstream 16’ bc they can be heavy 3500 dry
So I’m thinking about it
I guess I can buy the towing vehicle later
I just can’t see myself paying $75k for a new tundra so it would have to be an older very well cared for tundra. We’ll see
I wish you could still get a Gen 4 4Runner for under $10k. They’ve appreciated like crazy.
My questions usually involve cargo capacity specs with seats folded up & cargo with seats folded down. Please give a visual & specs for both in the future & thank you for your content. Cheers.
Thanks for this great video. I want to buy a suv, but I really love the 4th generation of toyota 4runner. Wich year you think is the best?
Great vid! In todays crazy used market, what would you say is the most you’d be willing to pay for a 2007-09 RX350 with less than 150k miles on it?
03 RX300 for me. More durable than the earlier models with trans issues. Made in Japan.
I got a Lexus rx330 thunderbolt edition 2005 185thousand miles for 6300 with taxes title and fees it's in excellent condition inside and out DVD players on the back seats
Made in Japan on the door
Looked at a ‘98 4runner limited 2wd v6 in the San Diego area a few weeks ago with only 144,000 miles and 1 owner since new. Nice old guy he leased it then bought it but he had no service records and he had done every oil change and whatever else he had done to it all by himself. And he wasn’t a mechanic. Drove and felt great but considering that it had never seen a professional mechanic shop in 20 years…no thanks…only $5,500 clean carfax and title but who knows what was neglected. He never did the timing belt either.
When things get rough, 4runners and land cruisers rule the world.
You are right!!
When things get rough, a tank will be our only rescue.
New subscriber, I have the 08 Rx350 same color but instead of a 4Runner I have the sequoia and a 2000 es300. And bought my mother a Corolla, I worked at toyota Lexus 14 yrs , I’m all yota Lexus. I’ve worked at most car manufacturers and this is the best. Just watch out on the 3.5L the water pump goes out kinda early, replace the 2 idlers also. Mine was purchased just over a yr ago 91,500 miles and wtr pump went out 96,800 it is a flaw considering I’ve seen them come through 95,000-110,000. My es300 still has same wtr pump at 173,000. I had a 1995 Camry xle gold trim package and same engine as the 2000 es300 3.0L. Only difference are are hose sucks in more air. Anyways great evaluation on both vehicles. I luv the 4 runners but couldn’t find one here
Great video. Excellent info.
I'm looking for a new car. Toyota, Subaru or Nissan. Had not considered a Lexus.
I certainly will now. Thanks.
Great! Glad it helped. After you test drive one, it's hard to want anything else...
Toyota Lexus great reliability! NIssan got to buy it new or with less than 10000 miles the Rogues are good for less, but less reliable after 5 years old and cannot forgo the tranny fluid change every 25000 miles at dealer or with reputed independent shop and always with OEM CVT FLUID!
What a deal you got on the Lexus sir I'm looking for one and none have under 100 thousand miles for less than 10 thousand dollars
Thanks for the review.. Both are excellent choices I am still deciding which Toyota / Lexus SUV model I want to purchase. I have also heard somewhere that the Lexus takes full synthetic oil changes every 10,000 miles and uses only high octane fuel. Is this true? Also what kind fuel mileage are you getting from both and does the 4 Runner take high octane fuel and full synthetic oil also?
Lexus comes standard with Full Synthetic, which is good for any vehicle. I run 1 year/20k full synthetic in all my vehicles. It's cheaper in the long run. The Lexus insists you put in high octane, since its competing with BMW, Mercedes, Acrua, etc. All these brands suggest 93, but some need it, others don't. The E39 BMW required high octane fuel or else the catalytic converters will clog on you. I've done research on the Lexus and found no "requirement" for 93. We've been running it for well over a year on 87 and it runs great. Most computers compensate for the the increase or decrease in octane. So feel free to run the cheap fuel! The 4Runner requires 87 low octane. Since the filming of this video I got rid of the 4Runner , since it had LOTS of issues which I mention on this video: ruclips.net/video/yYk1PhRAjtE/видео.html Still have the Lexus and have ZERO plans to get rid of it. I love that car.
@Mctrician2 exactly. Replacement Oil is cheap. Replacement Engines are not.
HI Great run down. I am looking to buy a RX350 too. What year was the one you showed? Thanks for doing the review
Go for it. I got a hand-me-down 07 Rx350 Because my mom got the 2017 model. The 07 has over 235,000 miles and still running like new with all original part. The dash is beginning to crack though.
sorry for the late reply, I showed a 2007. 2010 was the first year of the new body style that also has a lot more electronic items, which is nice, but more things to break and more money in repairs. 04 was the first year of this style RX350. The dashes tend to crack and the window seals on the doors can get gummy, but this car is also in florida. 2 years and it has been great so far. I should do a follow up video...
On the 4Runner, if you put the key in the tailgate the window can roll up or down 😄
One thing you didnt mention. The RX350 is premium fuel and the 4 runner is regular.
But that isn’t true. Why just make things up? Very odd behavior.
There is just no comparison between a Toyota badge vehicle and a Lexus badge vehicle of similar size and functionality. We own a full-size Lexus LS430 for years and until today it is still in pristine condition, checked up and maintained annually by the Lexus Service Center nearest to our house. We got rid of all of our German luxusry cars because they cost and arm and a leg to maintain and repair when they get older, but ot my Lexus.
LS430 has always been my absolute dream vehicle. Considering an RX350 or one of the larger Lexus SUV’s, to have a little more room/better design for hauling around bikes and camping and stuff. Could pull it off with the LS430 almost certainly, just kinda feel like I want something other than a sedan. But it would be Very hard for me to turn down a pristine LS430 if I could actually find one...
Toyota and lexus are the same company. They are literally made in the same factories. Every engine and transmission in any lexus through the history of the company has been used in many toyota models simultaneously.
Lexus RX are not made in Japan, and it’s really hard to get these vehicles under 10k now.
My lexus rx330 thunderbolt edition 2005 on the door says made in Japan
They are assembled in canada but the engine and transmission is all made in japan
Great video, thank you, very helpful!
Keeping antifreeze changed will eliminate the head gasket problem
If you are going to get a 4Runner get a 3rd or 5th gen stay away from the 4th and 2nd I own a 3rd and 4th so I have some knowledge on them
Great review 👍
All 4th gen (2003-09) V6 4Runners have a timing chain.
Great video! I am currently deciding which of these two I want and your video helped greatly! Lexus it is. Thank you! What did you replace the 4Runner with?
KM1980 I replaced the 4runner with a Tacoma. The climate control on the 4runner is its Major flaw, also listed on consumer reports as well as an issue. The Lexus dash can crack, but they make covers that can fix it. I often mention to my wife I should have bought a Lexus for myself instead of the Tacoma. It’s a great vehicle.
Another good choice!
Nice and I agree with you 100% Looking forward to getting one for my daughter later this year. For another $1000 that would include install and a backup camera you could replace that entire center console with an 11.5 screen from Phoenix Automotive. US Based company in California. Unit is Chinese and for many different cars. Seen similar but these guys support and sell directly. They are very particular about getting the orders correct for wiring. Plug and play pre-made wiring harnesses. Full Android 11 and will work 100% with one that had Nav or Not. My 2004GX was a non nav and got one in 2020. I now have full Android apps access including NAV, a backup camera, and full controls from my steering wheel. It retains most of the physical buttons. Takes a little tweaking but I have been super happy and they provide great tech support and firmware upgrades. Worth it for a car like that you will likely be able to drive reliably for 10+ more years! See my couple fun videos for my setup. Not an agent. Just a fan of it! Cheers!
Thanks. Currently looking at these 2. Wish I had an excuse to buy both
Awesome review
Thanks! Glad you didn't think it was dog turd city!
2006 Toyota 4Runner, SR5, 4WD, 4.0 V6 - $16,500 (Placerville) crazy car market
***The 4runner can be jerked up for off road unlike the RX350, big difference there. Plus, I believe, a 4.2 litre motor.
I found a 2007 Lexus RX one owner serviced at the local dealer has 37 service records but has 200 k miles !! Its in great shape but 200 k miles what you think bro ?
Appreciate your opinion
What’s the price? What’s the overall condition? That’s a little high on the mileage side for my taste, but if the price is right it may not be too bad. There is a Lexus on RUclips that has over a million miles on it, so if it’s well taken care of, it may not be terrible.
Use a dash cover and crack a window when in the sun in the following manner close window with a paper crack it just enough so you can pull the paper out with some resistance but without breaking that should relief the hot air out so temps do not keep raising inside and degrading the interior!
Drive train is different. You cant tow with the RX350 what you can with the 4 runner.
Great point! I can't believe I missed adding in the towing capacity differences or the FWD vs RWD. Thank you for mentioning that!
My wife wanted to buy one Lexus RX 350, so I decided to buy her ten
Hahahhaha 10 is a nice round number haha
super good quality the video!
Time for these cars to roll on down the road
FOR THE RIDE QUALITY I'D CHOOSE THE LEXUS RX350 🫖
Yup! 4runner has been traded in and the Lexus is still here. Miss the 4runner though... bad climate control in Florida and the roof leaked water so.... hahahh
2007 LEXUS WERE MADE IN CANADA.
nice review
1:36 the Rx is belt driven. Timing change intervals are detrimental as these are interference engines. Also only 6 cylinder 4runners run chains. The v8 3uz engine is belt as well.
This is a 2007 Lexus which has a timing Chain. The prior model years had belts. You are correct about the V6 & V8 4runners. Not only the gas mileage, but the timing belt replacement is a huge turn off for potential buyers and the resale price of the V8 models reflect those detriments.
@@ModernGreaserunderstood. I was referring to the “04 and up are chains”. But I didn’t realize it was a rx350 not a rx330.
@@MrMpm3001 You brought up a good point about the timing belts. I am planning a 2 year review and recap with the pros and cons of the Lexus. I will make a point to mention that years 06 and prior have belts. Don't know about you, but I won't buy a car that has timing belt on it unless I have to haha
@@ModernGreaser lol... I have 3 belt driven Toyota’s/Lexus. 2 1mzfe vvti and non. And a 1uzfe (gs400). All timing belts sadly. But in defense of the timing belt, if you buy a poorly maintained chain driven engine, it can be waaaayy worse than a every 3-5 year timing belt. I’ve seen a lot of blown timing chain engines at work. Mostly lack of oil changes from the customers.
I know Lexus ! but could y'all please show some love for 4runners? them boys are dogs, if you know what I mean.
Hearing these Pre-Covid Price$ hits hard , NOW the prices are crazy for less value now! 😏Anybody else notice that?
💯%
And to think that there are people who will spend that money to buy a Mitsubishi Mirage or a Nissan Versa all in the name of having a brand new car when that same money could buy THIS....it just makes no sense.
You have to tell what year are those?
Sensationalism and unreal. Where on this planet can you get those vehicles for under $10,000?
The one in this video was bought 2 years ago with 78k...or so miles on it with clean, no accident one owner Carfax. I recently saw last week in the 8k range for a similar example.
It was purchased from the Lexus dealership in Tampa, FL. After a week of owning it, the battery went dead. Lexus came to our house and installed a brand new 10 year life battery free of charge.
Thanks for your feedback. I appreciate it and now eat back my words.
Tampa has the lowest price on vehicle, expect to pay 1.5-2k more elsewhere.
Gracias por el vídeo desde Bolivia, crack
Our 2007 RX 400h has the cassette player in it, but it also has Navigation which yours doesn't have so that be the difference is the package.
lexus is known for their buttery smooth transmissions
Im currently looking for a Lexus and you have given me the vehicle im looking for. As a farther of 2 USF students, class of 2010 , i have become a subscriber for your site also.
I’m looking to buy my first used car. Where should I start looking?
Great video. And it’s true.
Ummm before you buy look up how to do a simple valve cover gasket change or tune up on these.....if you don't know
Thank you for the great video :D
luv my 06 4runner and my 99 300rx lexus
For the child seat you can slid the chair backwards
Fourth generation 4Runners also have FRAME RUST issues which Toyota have deceived owners concerning. Toyota did not include the 4Runner in their 3.2 BILLION dollar payout to the owners of their three other truck models, and for frame replacements. One owner had filed a Federal Lawsuit against Toyota after his 4th Gen. 4Runner’s steering seized up and force him into a ditch. The frame had rusted through and collapsed (!!!)
yes sir you are correct. Luckily this was a Florida runner, solid as a rock haha
@@ModernGreaser I still want a 2006 to 2009 4th Gen. and might find one also out in the dry climate of the West…. Have to be careful though, I’ve already seen one which have been flooded too. Strange corrosion of the aluminum ‘locker loop’ where the rear hatch mechanism comes down to close and lock. Also have seen same kind of corrosion around the ‘locker loop’ where the split rear seats fold-up and lock into. These vehicles we’re pretty sure has been partially underwater in a hurricane flood, or some such.
@@jamescollins4208 good call. Cars out west are BEST!
you have to open all doors then click the rear power door and ity will ope3n auto
Hi Thanks for the video. I want to buy a SUV, should I buy a Toyota or a Lexus and should I buy a hybrid or a gasoline. I like Lexus and my budget is 20 to 30K what do you suggest looking for your input please. I have used Toyota Camry before and now I have a Honda accord 6cyl fully loaded 2005 gave me good service will keep that as 2nd car, but wants buy a SUV
@Mctrician2 It is really and sincere advice and I appreciate. Many talk about Hybrid and I am sure it helps many. But what they don't realize is we need to pay an extra $ for Hybrid and if you change cars every 4 to 5 years its not worth as you paid a high price unless as you said for some one who uses a lot . Thanks
I am in that boat now
RUBBER: Try using AT-Reseal which is a clear polymer used to refurbish rubber parts in transmissions/engines...Use it on rubber trim & weather seals. Also, use Rust Check or similar anti-corrosion liquids UNDER the car (except on rotors!) to waterproof, lubricate and condition rubber bushings etc....DRIVE IT FOREVER!
Hi, can I ask you about the roof rack you got on the lexus? Is it an aftermarket piece? I am now looking for some roofrack for my RX 300 without the longitundial racks and I found only one type that looks just like the one on your roof (I cannot tell for sure). So I would like to know where you got it and if you are satisfied with it. Thanks a lot
The roof rack is a stock factory Lexus roof rack.
