2003 Lexus LX 470 470

The LX 470 is Lexus's full-size, body-on-frame SUV, built for serious off-road capability and long-distance comfort. It rides like a luxury sedan on the highway, soaking up bumps with a hushed, isolated feel that few SUVs match. The third row folds flat into the floor, giving you a huge cargo area when you need it and seating for eight when you don't. The LX 470 is the only trim, so you get the full-size body-on-frame chassis, the 4.7L V8, and the four-wheel drive without having to choose between options. Its 4.7L V8 makes 227 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque, paired with a five-speed automatic and a two-speed transfer case that gives you low-range gearing for serious trails. The standard adjustable-height suspension lets you raise the body for off-road clearance or lower it for easier entry, and it's a feature you'll use more than you expect.
