- Lexus GX470 vs TOYOTA 4RUNNER - Off-road Comparison
Today, we have a 3rd gen Toyota 4runner up against a Lexus GX470 on two offroad obstacles, rolling rock hills and v-notch crossing. Please watch the video to see for yourself who did better. Thank you!

4Runner is more impressive than I expected
4Runners are the BEST... (which is why I love GX470- they're built on 4Runner frame and power train-- with lexus body!!! 4wheeling in style as it were!! :)
Obviously the 4Runner in this instance. The GX, needs a driver mod.
I mean none of them are Offroad experts so I’d just pick a truck haha
Thanks for sharing! I have a stock 98 4runner w/o the rear locker. Haven't gone off road yet and was kind of given the impression you can't do much without a locker, but this video reassured me I can still have some fun!
Ive taken my 2000 4runner 4wd with a rear diff locker on similar trails and it’s really capable even on stock size tires
Yea. Light weight is super advantageous
3rd Gen all the way! Its a no frills tank of a suv. Kudos to the owner/driver did all that it an almost stock config (minor lift) also no locker!
Yea 3rd gen is a goat
both are excellent off-road 👌
They are indeed.
No. A front locker keeps both FRONT wheels spinning the same speed as one another.
The REAR locker keeps both REAR wheels spinning the same speed.
A center locker keeps Both front wheels spinning and same speed as both rear wheels. Basically, if you locked the front, rear, AND center, each and every wheel would spin the exact same speed.
Without a center locker, it is possible for the front two wheels to spin one specific speed, and the rear wheels to spin a totally different speed (when in 4wd that is).
Is that more clear
It does not show anything the other guy does not want to try it due to he invested more money in his car so is taking care of it 🤷🏻♂️

Looks like the 3rd gen 4Runner did pretty good. 3rd gen 4Runner is much lighter (~3950# stock vs 4850# for stock GX470) and nimble (smaller) to handle on trail. Plus it is not saddled with the extra weight that the GX470 has. It looks like this 4Runner is a 01-02 model because it looks like it has ATRAC-1 when the front wheels are lifted. I wheel my 99 4Runner, GX470, and LX570. I'd say that it is much easier to wheel the smaller 3rd gen 4Runner than the GX and LX. Good size for trails, simple, no fancy electronic traction control, and light weight. Lo range, diff lockers (rear and center), and pick the good lines is all you need in the end. Only thing missing is a front locker for those rare times that I would need it. Supercharged 3rd gens are a hoot to drive. However, the GX and LX are much better overlander and long distance tour vehicles.
No 3rd gen 4runner has Atrac, the gx470 has Atrac and a bad driver mod. The Gx is more capable off-road with good mod and a great driver but the 4runer is good with just a good driver. The Gx takes the win cuz it great for overland and it's more comfortable and spacious than the 4runner. I own a 3rd gen 4runner too
@@Delight.AutoCRAFTNot sure what year your 3rd gen 4Runner you own but the 2001 to 2002 3rd gen 4Runner has the first generation ATRAC that is similar to what was implemented in the 2000 Land Cruiser 100. That is also why 2001-2002 4Runner does not have the rear e-locker option. Also the same reason 2000+ Land Cruiser/LX470 have no rear locker option and a beef up front diff. I own a 99 4Runner with the open front and rear e-locker and my brother owns a 01 4Runner with first gen ATRAC, no rear locker. The 4th gen 4Runner/GX470 have the second generation ATRAC (which is faster reacting than the first gen ATRAC on the 00-01 4Runner and the 2000-2007 Land Cruiser/LX470).
@@runnerxa I own a 2002 t4r with the full time AWD and never came across Atrac... I'll do more research and get back to you.
@@Delight.AutoCRAFT All 2001 and 2002 4Runner 4WDs have the multi-mode 4WD option that was on the 99-00 Limited 4Runner 4WDs which allow you to have full time AWD (with an open center diff). You have the option to lock the center diff in 4HI or 4LO.
@@runnerxa yeah, I know they had the multimode and an option to lock the centre diff, but I just check and no the 3rd gen didn't have Atrac, it was first implemented on the 3rd gen 4runner and the gx470.. I do admire your knowledge of the Toyota 4wd system, nice meeting another enthusiast. 🤝
4Runner because of the narrow body and shorter wheelbase.
and a much lighter truck
& a hell of a lot cheaper
There is no drive trail the GX cannot conquer. The driver here was the inexperienced dude. Period.
I disagree with first half of your comment.
@@4WDisLife Alright then, would you kindly explain? I know the GX has a V8 engine and with the right tires, it can virtually drive through most terrains, except it's not as good a rock crawler as the Jeep Wrangler, Ford Bronco nd the FJ Cruiser specifically.
@@dermotwallace5533 now I agree 100% of what you just said. Being a ifs it has its limitations, plus the earlier gen gx has a weaker rear diff which I already seen one blown on the trails. I guess it all depends on what people do with it, it does overlanding perfectly fine but when it comes to rocks, it’s not as ideal as other competitors
@@4WDisLife Cool. Now, my point is that judging from your video, driving up that trail could have been way easier had the driver had the right tyres as well as chosen a better path to make it up that hilly slope.
@@dermotwallace5533 are you speaking of the first hill? If so, then I may have to respectfully disagree, that rolling rock hill is a very hard climb, 30 degrees incline, big and loose rocks up to the boulder ledge and very dug out. You really have to be there to actually judge the difficulty, you are welcome to check out other comparison video of mine for that same hill climb. A vehicle without rear locker will struggle on it.
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
both suvs are not very composed
What would be ur pick
MOST don't realize that the GX simply IS--- IS- a 4 runner with a LEXUS body--- just 4 wheeling IN STYLE!!!! :) I have personally seen them OUT DO JEEPS.. which really pissed the jeep guys off.. ha.
Globally, there is no 4Runner platform. It has been based on a Land Cruiser Prado platform since the 3rd gen 4Runner/Hilux Surf. In this case it is a 120 series Land Cruiser Prado, which the GX470/4Runner, and FJC is based off. The GX470 body looks very similar to the Land Cruiser Prado 120 series body. It is a 4Runner body on a 120 series Land Cruiser Prado chassis or a FJ Cruiser body on a 120 series Land Cruiser Prado chassis. And there are also 3 door Land Cruiser Prado 120 (shortened wheelbase version not sold in North America) models available as well. 3rd gen 4Runner is based on 90 series Land Cruiser Prado platform. 5th gen 4Runner is based on 150 series Land Cruiser Prado platform. The new North America Land Cruiser and GX550 is based on the 250 series Land Cruiser Prado platform. The LX600 is based on the 300 series full size Land Cruiser platform just like the LX570 is based on the 200 series full size Land Cruiser platform.
GET front and rear LOCKERS--- (get them out of a 20120 FJ-- it's a direct bolt in!!!)..
Lockers for GX you meant? Or for 4Runner?
@@thomasromanciuc9319 Lockers from the 2010 or newer FJ will be a direct bolt in!!! and yes- for the GX...
Pick a BETTER LINE ding dong.. Straddle the ditch.. You must be a city boy.. :ha- (no offense- it's just that I grew up drivnig my V W up ROADS and driveways worse than that.. :)
