The Lexus LX470 Base for 2005
The 2005 LX470 is an important vehicle to Lexus for the sport utility market segment. The Base is a member of a series of one trim levels for the LX470 which include Base. The four-door truck with its four-wheel drive is positioned to aggressively fill this niche for Lexus. There is strong competition from vehicles from Acura.
Engine Performance
The restyled LX470 Base is equipped with a Toyota 4.7-liter 8-cylinder engine that utilizes a total of 32 valves. The engine is paired with a Toyota 5-speed transmission. This configuration has proven to be a successful design for Lexus.
Steering control is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration. The LX470 has power-assisted brakes, with 4-Wheel ABS support. The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc. The truck uses torsion bar front springs and coil in the rear.
LX470 Base Statistics
The dimensions of the LX470 Base are 76.40 inches wide by 192.50 inches long. It sits a comfortable 72.80 inches off the ground. It seats a standard eight passengers, with 4 doors. The wheelbase of 112.20 allows for limited leg room for the backseat passengers.
The original manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) was $65,225 when new, with a dealer invoice cost of $56,745. This price was in line with the industry average price for a 4-door Sport Utility.
Fuel Efficiency
The fuel system for the 2005 LX470 is a SFI design, running on gasoline fuel. The fuel flow is regulated by a electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design. The storage capacity of the fuel tank is 25.40 gallons.
The LX470 Base received a miles-per-gallon rating of thirteen in-city driving and seventeen when it came to long-distance. Being a gas-powered non-green truck, this was subpar.
In Summary
The 2005 model year was unsuccessful for the Lexus LX470. The introduction of several trim levels (along with the Base version) meant that buyers had several options to choose from..
