Does it get any better than this?
How are you liking it!?
I really like it, I am lucky to get it, salesman said that mine was the only one not to get a 30 day QC hold, apparently there are issues with the other ones.
Dealership was busy yesterday trying to move vehicles off the lot for the end of month sales numbers.
I love how quiet the vehicle is on the road, I have never had a vehicle with turbos before, it’s really quick when you step on it.
The front massaging seats are quite nice, wife really likes it. It will make road trips a little easier.

After about a month, some of the initial excitement is easing up a little bit. But it is still fun that wherever I go people ask me about it. I find myself feeling very happy with my decision and I have zero envy of what anyone else is driving. Land Rover Discovery? Come on son! Jeep Wrangler? Not even a little bit! Ford Bronco? Nope. Although, I will admit that driving the GX, the view out over the hood feels a little like I'm looking out over the hood of a '68 Bronco, but without all the wind noise. I'm fortunate that I don't have some of the issues others are seeing with persistent vibration, and after the first oil change at 1,500 miles I'm having a little more fun evaluating the sportyness. It's no sports car, but it sure is a nice balance of performance and offroad prowess.
I second this, I don’t envy any SUVs out on the road after driving the GX550 for 2k mi and also lucky to experience 0 issues. Well maybe a Rivian R1S all electric would be a nice change, but their reliability rating is so poor I can’t. I’ve had so many people speed up on the road to stare and give the thumbs up, to include Range Rover, X7, Defender drivers, you name it. Also had a few people admit, they’re gonna buy it after seeing mine in person, so that waitlist is getting longer every day from free marketing. The GX has a very strong presence and it looks so damn good!
Love your wheel setup. I think you said this is max without suspension mod, fitment issues/rubbing, right? How do they ride compare to the stock Premium+ that you started with? Also this is a nice example of nothing on roof, still looks tough.

Yup, at +35 I have very little clearance left in the front and back of front wheel well when wheel is fully turned either direction. Liners would need to be trimmed or pushed out to not rub with bigger tire profile.
AT3s are great, still a bit louder than stock, but about the quietest you can go w all terrains imo. Less body roll and sharper turning on the 285s, still a super comfy ride w the meatier tires.
Have read complaints that the boxy design just makes for bad wind noise w the oem roof rack. Goal is to keep it as quiet and smooth like a Lexus should, hopefully a proper roof system will be available soon.
I am not personally a roof rack guy, but my incoming unit does have roof rails on it from the factory. I've heard different things about the noise with even those (leading edge being squared off as opposed to aerodynamic) so we'll have to see if they last...
@IncoGXnito - one more question - did you get your speedometer/odometer recalibrated after modifying tire diameter? Or no biggie?

Congratulations!!Finalized!! At lastDrives like a dream. Great experience at Jim Hudson Lexus in Columbia, SC.
I’m approx. 1.5mph off (slower) on the speedo apparently, but yeah no calibration, no biggie to me

Have you made any mods since picking up? I'm curious to see more modded Caviar Premium+ - that's what I'm in line for!
