Editor's Advice:
The 2004 Lexus LX 470 is a gussied-up version of the Toyota Land Cruiser, one of the most capable do-it-all vehicles for sale today. On paved roads where it spends the majority of its time, the LX 470 offers a smooth and refined ride. Yet, the Lexus proves to be an accomplished boulder-basher when you hit the hard stuff. Renowned around the globe for providing rugged and reliable transportation, the Toyota Land Cruiser is engineered to take whatever abuse that indifferent owners and Mother Nature can throw at it. This Lexified version is stuffed to the gills with all the safety and luxury features you can want, managing to outshine newer, more muscular full-size offerings from Cadillac, Infiniti and Lincoln in all areas save for acceleration and maximum cargo volume. If you can live with less cargo space and leisurely launches from stoplights, it’s hard to go wrong with the 2004 Lexus LX 470.
