Posts of the Week

I checked in with SRoberts over the weekend and said their GX OT is still driving great following the brakes replacement. My dealer refuses to tell me if Lexus is actually planning a recall / brake replacement. Have spoken with a few different people. This morning I called again and spoke with a sales manager (as I was unsure of who to go to considering the head service manager will not respond to me about this). The sales manager said "we have been selling 40+ of these every month and nobody has complained about theirs and nothing has been said about any kind of recall or brakes issue." He said he is going to get in touch with Lexus corporate management and "see if I can find out anything."

As a side note, I also told him that I purchased a new Bronco Sport for my daughter last year and have received far superior customer service from her Ford dealership than what I have experienced thus far with Lexus.

Getting close to being done with this vehicle and Toyota in general. I own a small business and don't have the time to keep investing into this.

Picked up my Overtrail (Nori) yesterday and drove it 220 miles home to Vermont. Mix of Interstate and back roads. No discernible hood flutter or vibration (and I am Type A on steroids, especially after following this Forum!). Been driving my wife’s Land Cruiser First Edition so it was fun to compare the GX’s handling, braking and comfort with the LC. Both are excellent trucks, with minor, to-be-expected, quirks. Wish everyone a safe and happy journey.

Hi Folks. Got my wife a Land Cruiser First Edition in June and have driven it quite a bit (over her protests). Yesterday picked up my Overtrail at Lexus Latham, NY and drove it home to Vermont (around 200 miles). Mix of Interstate, state “highways”, and back roads. I am Type A (especially after following this and a couple other threads on the Forum!). Happy to say I noticed no discernible hood flutter, zero unusual vibration, and the ride is a little different but, in my view better, than the Cruiser. Hope this remains the case for many years to come.
PS. I deleted the factory roof rack based on the Forum comments about excessive wind noise. Since the LC has a factory rack, which is very quiet by the way, probably won’t add Westcott or other rack. Also deleted the factory rock rails (have them on the LC and they seem fine but will probably swap the “free” running boards for Dissent Offroad rock rails when they confirm they install on Overtrail without drilling.

Safe and happy travels all.

Hello all,
Phoenix area resident, own an LR4 and planning to move to the Overtrail!

We've had our OT+ for a week and taken two short road trips and at 70+ hwy the hood flutter is pretty bad. I've had passengers notice it and say the same. Our 2014 4Runner is rock solid. I will be reporting it to the dealership and looking into some of the fixes. Will report back

Still love the vehicle though! Hood flutter is a very minor complaint. She's a beast.
