The GX 4.6 V8 has 300 hp with a 6 speed trans vs the 270 hp 5 speed trans of the runner. The GX is not a quick SUV by any stretch but much better than the 4runner with the same off road capabilities.
I've find the 6cyl, 5 speed tranny to be miserable in both the FJC and 4runner, at least where I commute at plus 5500 ft elevation.
I have really enjoyed my GX460, it's a good balance between luxury, enough power, on/off road capable and toyota reliability.
...and yes it has a butt ugly front end!
