This modified 2009 Lexus GX 470 4×4 blends the GX platform’s inherent luxury and off-road capability with a thoughtful suite of upgrades installed by King’s Chariot, including an Old Man Emu lift, Dobinsons armor, ICON wheels, Nitto tires, a Smittybilt winch, and an ARB roof rack. Offered at $30,300 in Jacksonville, FL, it shows approximately 169,000 miles and presents as a clean-title, Southern-owned example with a strong service history and no reported structural or mechanical issues.
- 2009 GX 470 Platform: The 2009 GX 470 remains one of the most desirable luxury 4×4 SUVs thanks to its body-on-frame construction, full-time four-wheel drive with a TORSEN limited-slip center differential, and 6,500-lb tow rating. Built through the 2009 model year before being replaced by the GX 460, it’s valued for its ultra-reliable drivetrain and Lexus-caliber durability.
- Proven Powertrain: Power comes from the 4.7-liter V8 rated at 263 hp and 323 lb-ft of torque, paired with a five-speed automatic and a dual-range transfer case. Factory systems like Hill-start Assist, Downhill Assist Control, A-TRAC, and the TORSEN center differential support confident use on pavement and technical terrain.
- Upfitted Exterior: This example wears Blizzard Pearl paint over tan leather and features factory equipment like projector headlamps, fog lamps, and a power moonroof. Upgrades include a new Old Man Emu lift with diff drop, five ICON wheels with five Nitto tires, Dobinsons front combo bumper, Dobinsons rear bumper, Smittybilt waterproof winch, and an ARB roof rack.
- Luxurious Interior: Inside, the GX retains its factory luxury equipment: heated leather seating, dual-zone climate control, wood trim, 10-way power driver’s seat, Lexus Personalized Settings, and rear A/C. The seller describes the cabin as well-kept, clean-smelling, and in excellent cosmetic condition.
- Ownership: CARFAX reports three owners, Southern history, 15 service records, and a clean title. One minor rear-end accident occurred in 2017 with no airbag deployment. The vehicle shows approximately 169,000 miles as of the most recent odometer entry in June 2025.
This GX 470 stands out for combining Lexus luxury with proven off-road credentials and a curated set of high-quality modifications—armor, lift, wheels, tires, and recovery equipment. The Southern ownership profile, clean title, and consistent service history make it an attractive choice for buyers seeking a turnkey overland-capable platform without sacrificing interior comfort or ride quality. With the GX 470’s reputation for exceptional reliability and the rising demand for well-built 4×4 SUVs, this example represents strong long-term value.
