This 2004 Lexus GX 470 4x4 is a wonderful blend of refined Lexus luxury and genuine off-road capability — an ideal choice for someone who wants a comfortable daily driver that can also tackle rough weather, gravel roads, or weekend adventures. Finished in Dorado Gold Pearl on the outside with an elegant Ivory leather interior, this GX presents beautifully and is in excellent overall condition. It also comes with a clean CARFAX report, giving you added peace of mind about its history.

Powertrain and driving character
Under the hood sits a responsive naturally aspirated 4.0L V8 DOHC 32-valve engine that delivers smooth, linear power and a satisfying V8 soundtrack. Paired with Lexus’ durable automatic transmission and a robust 4x4 system, the GX 470 is engineered for confidence whether you’re merging onto the highway, towing a load, or crawling over uneven terrain. You’ll find the power delivery to be relaxed and refined at cruising speeds and sufficiently energetic for passing and highway on-ramps. Fuel economy averages approximately 14 MPG city and 17 MPG highway, which is typical for a capable V8 SUV of this era.

Exterior appearance and functionality
The Dorado Gold Pearl paint gives the GX a warm, upscale presence that gleams in sunlight and looks both commanding and tasteful. The exterior features factory alloy wheels, fog lamps for improved low-light visibility, integrated roof rails for cargo carriers or roof racks, and a sturdy rear-mounted spare ready for remote trips. The body lines are purposeful yet refined, with tasteful chrome and body-colored trim accents. Running boards and generous ground clearance make entry and exit easy, and the design preserves a rugged silhouette that hints at the vehicle’s off-road pedigree.

Interior comfort and convenience
Inside, the Ivory leather creates a bright, inviting cabin that complements the wood trim accents on the dash and steering wheel. Seating is comfortable and supportive for longer drives; the front seats are power-adjustable and many GX 470s were factory-equipped with heated front seats and driver memory settings for added convenience. The seating layout can be versatile — depending on the original build, many models accommodated optional third-row seating for extra passengers or folded flat to expand luggage capacity.

Luxury touches include a leather-wrapped steering wheel with wood inserts, tilt and telescopic steering adjustment, dual-zone automatic climate control to keep driver and passenger comfortable, and practical storage and cupholders positioned for easy use. Power windows and locks, remote keyless entry, and cruise control are standard, making daily operation effortless.

Factory infotainment and audio
At the factory, the GX 470 offered a refined audio and information setup designed for clarity and ease of use. Standard systems typically include an AM/FM stereo and CD player, with many examples featuring a multi-disc changer and available premium Mark Levinson audio as an option for audiophiles. Controls are logically arranged within reach of the driver, and higher-trim or optioned vehicles may include navigation and a rear entertainment system for passengers.

Safety and off-road capability
Safety was a priority: the GX 470 comes equipped with front airbags, front seat-mounted side airbags, and full-length side curtain airbags for occupant protection. Anti-lock brakes (ABS) with electronic brake-force distribution (EBD) and traction control help maintain stability in challenging conditions. The chassis and suspension design provide a composed highway ride while the robust 4x4 system, transfer case, and durable drivetrain components give the GX genuine capability off pavement. Tow hooks and a factory wiring harness enhance its utility for towing or trail recovery.

Condition and ownership confidence
This particular vehicle is in excellent overall condition — cosmetically and mechanically — and has been well cared for. The Ivory leather interior remains cle
