The Lexus GX is a mid-size sport utility vehicle (SUV) sold in North American and Eurasian markets by Lexus. Lexus introduced the first generation, known as the GX 470 in 2002, and subsequently became the third SUV to enter the Lexus lineup. The 4.7-liter V8 engine in the GX 470 was the same as used on the larger LX 470. Lexus introduced the GX 470 at the North American International Auto Show in November 2002 as a 2003 model. Heavily based on the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado (J120), the GX and Prado shared a common platform, mechanicals, and bodyworks (except front-end), so therefore had common basic dimensions. Likewise, the interiors were much the same, with the Lexus receiving further premium touches when compared to the Toyota-badged version. Like the Prado, the GX design incorporated welded steel body-on-frame construction, an electronically controlled five-speed automatic transmission, and permanent four-wheel drive with a center locking Torsen differential. The suspension shared its layout with the Toyota 4Runner equipped with the rear air suspension, while adding Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS) and Downhill Assist Control (DAC). AVS could adjust damper firmness continuously while DAC modulated descents down slopes. Power came from a 4.7-liter, 32-valve, four-cam 2UZ-FE V8 engine originally rated at 175 kW (235 hp) at 4,800 rpm and 320 lb·ft (434 N·m) of torque at 3,400 rpm. Towing capacity was rated at 5,000 pounds (2,300 kg). Ground clearance measured 211 millimetres (8.3 in), with an approach angle of 30-degrees and a departure angle of 29-degrees raised (25-degrees normal).   The interior came equipped with two rows of seating, while an optional third row allowed up to eight passengers to be carried. However, the folding third row was tight with only 24 inches (610 mm) of legroom. A Mark Levinson audio system along with a Rear Seat Entertainment System were available as options. A side-opening rear tailgate was standard
