The GX 470 has a 4.7 liter V8, the largest offered by Lexus - in the GX it unleashes 263 horses and 323 lb-ft of torque. To complement its robust yet elegant body design, the GX features a color-keyed roof rack, fender flares, and illuminated running boards. Taming this Park Place Lexus Mission Viejobeast is Variable Valve Timing with intelligence which continually monitors and adjust the engine's valves to deliver optimum performance at all times. Two of the most notable GX interior features are the sumptuous leather seating surfaces, as well as the handsome light golden bird's-eye maple trim - which perfectly accentuates the GX shift knob and steering wheel with audio controls.

Steep hills always pose a challenge, which is why the GX employs a highly evolved technology called Downhill Assist Control (DAC). When descending steep grades, one touch of a button instructs DAC to administer braking as needed to help maintain an even speed of descent. All you need to do is watch the road and steer. The GX is also equipped with Hill-start Assist Control (HAC). HAC helps control the GX from rollback during that brief moment when your foot travels from brake to accelerator before beginning an ascent.

There are those who view driving as nothing more than a penance between destinations.  But a GX driver sees all those miles as an opportunity for adventure.  Traditional suspension systems are tuned to perform well on paved roads, with the simple goal of ride comfort and control in turns.  But off-road suspensions have different needs - primarily to help maintain contact with the ground on uneven surfaces.  The GX, available with a Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (KDSS), helps achieve this feat with stabilizer bars that can allow each wheel to move with less restriction.  This flexibility helps to prevent vehicle tilt on rocky roads, without sacrificing ride smoothness when the terrain evens out.

Performance

The GX from Park Place Lexus Mission Viejo is equipped with a 4.7-liter V8 engine, unleashing 263 horsepower and 323 lb-ft of torque.  Taming this beast is Varaible Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i), which continually monitors and adjusts the engine's valves to deliver optimum performance at all times.  And a five-speed Electronically Controlled Transmission (ECT) keeps everything running smoothly.

Safety

The GX from Park Place Lexus mission viejo  is prepared, even when you are not.  To begin with, it has been designed to help manage impact energy in a variety of emergency situations, including frontal impacts, offset frontal impacts and side impacts.  In such situations, its strong, welded-steel body-and-ladder frame helps maintain the shape and integrity of the chassis and cabin. Scientifically designed, impact-absorbing materials in the structure of the GX will help offset the energy generated by a collision. Furthermore, each door has been reinforced with a beam ot help provide side-impact protection.  Roll-Sensing Curtain Airbags (RSCA) deploy in the event of a severe tilt degree, roll or lateral G-force.  (For off-road situations you can temporarily disable the RSCA.)  They work in conjunction with the seat-mounted side airbags.  The GX also comes standard with a Direct Tire Pressure Monitor System, which uses audio and visual cues to alert you if your tire pressure is critically below the optimal range.
