- Thread starter suberbielle1
- Start date
Congratulations!
Mine was built 4/19 and finally got to dealership today. It has to be prepped so pickup prob Saturday.
I saw this prior somewhere but don’t want to go digging. Besides paint damage on hood and possible vibrating issues. What other issues should i be looking out for on test drive before I sign papers?

Good luck tomorrow getting your GX.
I think because Lexus/Toyota has not come out with a Black & White GX550 V35A statement. (Or maybe I just missed it)
According to the Car Care Nut, toyota/lexus “quietly” discontinued parts related to the main bearing that is failing in most of the engines as of April 2024. GX 550 production started shortly after, so 550 engines should have the new part. Watch video below. Engine parts starts at 15:00 min mark

Thank you very much.
Since we finally got our OT less than 2 weeks ago after it sitting at port for 3+ months I have received 3 calls now from another dealership here in Houston that had an OT available that someone backed out of.
If anyone knows anyone looking call Westside Lexus in Houston. They had 2 White OT’s (1-OT, 1-OT+) available around noon today. No markup, but may have add ons.

What if the make date is prior to April 2024? In March 2024.
I have driven 7,000 miles on my GX550 Overtrail since picking it up 3 months ago & couldn't be happier! My feelings are that since the V35A engines problems came up they went back thru the whole progress which should give us GX550 owners their best version of it so far. It is a masterpiece of an engine if you go thru the design. It is complicated from all the moving parts and with all the forms of heat extraction from this design. I can tell you mine will be run on the best full synthetic oil I can find and change myself (so it is done right) at no later than 5,000 mile intervals. Also you better maintain this with Toyota antifreeze & transmission fluids as well. After looking over this engine design it should be durable if maintained properly. This engine will not do well at all if overheated so check all levels and watch any warnings closely or it could get expensive!
How are y'all guys tracking the delivery?
I track it via the dealer website. For example, I navigate to Longo Lexus, choose Shop Online, Find Your Lexus, GX, GX Overtrail +, Locate your vehicle.
Your dealer rep can provide a more precise report. Hope this helps.
