I don't see the hood flutter, but I don't see the center of the hood while driving at speeds it would appear. Curious about how tall people are. I'm 6'2" with a 34" inseam. When sitting in the GX and just driving around I don't see the middle of the hood at all, unless I try of course.

I did notice this, but seeing this message reminds me that I have not in a while. Maybe I'm used to it? I've got almost 2000 on the clock now. I thought it was a heat shield that's a little too close to something or a little loose, probably the former. I'll see if I can reproduce it in the morning.

I have not crawled underneath yet. Does the drive shaft have zerks? I had a vibration in my Tacoma that came down to just adding grease to the drive shaft zerks. Concerned because I've heard stories that they are removing the zerks on Tacomas (again, haven't looked on the GX yet).

Are people with the vibration also seeing really bad gas milage? I would think if the brakes are engaging then milage would suffer.

I removed the paracord and put the strip up but with ~2.75" sections with ~.25" between them. The rack pretty much doesn't make any noise until I'm 55-60. I'm going to cut those 2.75" as well as see if there is further improvement. I tried to angle the cuts back and forth a bit, but it was...

Well yes. The point is to break up the airflow to reduce/eliminate the noise. I still have the original strip that was up there. I'm going to put it back on (without the cord), then cut some channels in it to see if that has the same effect.

Like many I have removed the strip at the bottom of the leading edge of the rack, but once you hit 55 it is still noisy. I saw a suggestion to try string around the leading edge, so I thought it was worth $7 to give it a try. I put it around the leading edge and first cross bar. It works! I...

Cool. My little trailer is too wide so I need mirrors. Got a recommendation from eTrailer yesterday to use these.

Nice. What are you using for tow mirrors?

To say it again, this truck has much larger capacity than most SUV's. My OT+ capacity is over 1700 libs. I mean, the springs to do have to have some load to make things smooth. As someone who moved from a Tacoma to the GX, the ride is pretty much as I expected when it's just me. It is a bit...

My sensors read 39-40 but both my digital and analog gauges have the pressure at 35 now. I need to calibrate the sensors through the UI...

As I think some others have noted, a body on frame vehicle with this much capacity is going to be 'bouncy' until it is loaded down. I would be interested in how it is when the passenger seats are occupied and there is stuff in the back. It is pretty smooth comparatively when I'm towing my...

It does seem to largely eliminate it. Just wish the sport modes were sticky and didn't need to be set every drive...

Try peeling off the trim on the front edge of the rack. There was another post about this. I tried it and the noise moved from being bad at 40+ to 55+. YMMV

Today I noticed two vibration noises. One was from the dealer installed plate cover I got yesterday. Easily fixed. The other seems to be coming from under the hood at about the same rpm range the OP is describing. Sounds like a heat cover too close to something...

Well I removed the strip and it does make a bit of a difference, though in a cross wind the rack is still loud. It used to be objectionable about 40, now about 55-60.

I'll have to try this in the morning. While I am getting used to it, the noise can suddenly be really loud. Hope this works.

I'm not sure I feel this. Is this when the engine is cold, or all the time?

In what I think is a pretty big failure, the rack can't be slid back and forth as I understand it. There are indents on the rails and the top part that need to match up.

Took the GX out for a first tow this morning. Took a week to get to 500 miles...

This is what they recommend. Pretty much the same as what is in the owners manual: https://stagingsupport.lexus.com/s/article/What-does-Lexus-recom-8219#:~:text=To%20extend%20the%20life%20of,500%20miles%20(800%20km)%3A

It seems a lot more plush than the 2018 Tacoma TRD Pro I traded in for it. No vibration at low speeds that I can tell. It's a BOF vehicle. Like my Taco bumps are smoother at higher speeds (I don't slow down for the small speed bumps). I have no complaints having come from a truck.

On my first tank and pleasantly surprised, after what I've seen others get above, to be at 16.9 with mixed driving. A very light foot of course while it breaks in, but light is relative when you're coming from a Tacoma... Edit - I should have mentioned that the Taco got ~15-16 driving the same...

Excited to have my new OT+ in Eminent White Pearl. Pretty much wanted any color but Caviar (until I saw it), but this is what I was offered and I am very happy about it...
