Three Paths, One Purpose: Choosing Between the GX 460, QX60, and 4Runner

SUVs remain a favorite for drivers who need versatility, space, and confidence behind the wheel. At Stevens Auto Sales, we’re featuring three standout models that offer different approaches to the SUV experience: the 2017 Lexus GX 460, the 2018 Infiniti QX60, and the 2011 Toyota 4Runner SR5. Whether your priority is luxury, comfort, or capability, each of these vehicles delivers a distinct personality to match your lifestyle.

Understanding What Each SUV Offers

The 2017 Lexus GX 460 Base AWD combines rugged off-road strength with a refined and upscale feel. Its 4.6L V8 engine brings robust power, while its Gray exterior and Black interior package it in elegant style. With 98,950 miles and a price of $28,995, it targets drivers who want durability with premium features.

The 2018 Infiniti QX60 Base focuses on comfort, modern styling, and efficient performance. Its 3.5L V6 engine is responsive and balanced, and the Green exterior with a Black interior gives it a unique visual appeal. It has 157,000 miles and is priced at $14,697, making it an affordable way to enjoy modern tech and three-row versatility.

Then there’s the 2011 Toyota 4Runner SR5, a go-anywhere SUV known for its reputation in durability and off-road performance. The 4.0L V6 engine powers through all kinds of terrain, while the Black exterior and Beige interior offer timeless styling. At 114,000 miles and a price of $18,995, it provides exceptional long-term value.

Comparing What Drives Them

The Lexus GX 460’s V8 engine offers a strong, composed feel on highways and off-road trails alike. It delivers confident power for towing, long drives, and hilly terrain. The Infiniti QX60’s V6 aims for a quieter, more refined ride with smooth acceleration ideal for families and daily commuting. The Toyota 4Runner’s V6 is built for resilience, and its simple power delivery makes it a reliable choice for off-roaders or anyone who values rugged functionality.

Ride Comfort and Handling Feel

On the road, the Lexus GX 460 emphasizes stability and a smooth ride thanks to its full-time all-wheel drive system and high-end suspension tuning. The Infiniti QX60 provides responsive steering and soft suspension for comfortable family road trips. The 4Runner stays firm and focused with its body-on-frame build and rear-wheel-biased handling, ideal for drivers who need a trail-capable vehicle that can still handle the city.

What’s Inside Counts Too

The Lexus GX 460’s interior leans into luxury, offering high-end materials, soft leather seating, and refined finishes. Cabin noise is minimal, and the layout feels substantial and thoughtfully designed. The Infiniti QX60 provides a tech-forward interior with driver-assist features, touchscreen connectivity, and soft-touch materials that make it feel upscale. The Toyota 4Runner, by contrast, offers a more practical and straightforward design. It’s durable and comfortable, but clearly focused on utility rather than luxury.

Carrying Passengers and Cargo

All three SUVs are spacious, but they cater to different needs. The Infiniti QX60 is a standout in passenger comfort, especially in the third row. The Lexus GX 460 offers flexibility between cargo and passengers with split seating and good legroom. The 4Runner provides simple, functional space for gear, tools, and adventure gear — making it ideal for outdoors enthusiasts or road trippers who value durability over frills.

Pricing That Reflects the Mission

The Lexus GX 460, at $28,995, appeals to those who want a long-lasting vehicle with a premium badge and features to match. Its resale value stays strong, and the V8 durability gives it long-term potential. The Infiniti QX60, priced at $14,697, is a more budget-conscious option for those looking for a modern family SUV with strong safety features and comfort. The Toyota 4Runner, at $18,995, sits in the middle — offering durability, off-road readiness, and a nameplate known for reliability.

Which SUV Matches Your Needs?

If you’re seeking refined strength, the Lexus GX 460 stands out as a premium, go-anywhere SUV with upscale touches. For families needing comfort and modern convenience, the Infiniti QX60 delivers a strong value at a lower price. If you’re drawn to trail-tested reliability and longevity, the Toyota 4Runner SR5 is tough to beat.
