    My manufactures date is 04/2024 so it is conerning that the date is well after the date listed on the Lexus recall notice and new GX's are still being put on hold without an explanation.

    TPMS

    I learned a long time ago to check the air pressure after your car leaves a dealership either new or serviced. Not sure why the pressure is always much higher than what it should be…

    Blurry HUD

    No issues with mine, clear and focused however when I wear my Maui Jim’s (Blue Lens) or Oakley’s (dark lens) very difficult to see the HUD.

    Just heard there is an extension on the “hold” for a total of approx 60 days. No clarification or any specifics other than the comment… I will be one of the few new GX’s on the road. I hope there is a quick solution for those waiting! I enjoy driving my GX… it is a huge improvement over the...

    New Toyota Recalled Announced: 2023 Tundra & Lexus LX vehicles

    The Toyota notice gives a specific date of manufacture and lists 3500 autos are covered during this time frame. Seems pretty specific to me. However as it happens first production models have to (sadly) work out some kinks. I suggest waiting for the 2nd year product if you have any doubts. I...

    Driving in the rain

    For the past two weeks we have had heavy rain fall here in DFW. Luckily I was able to park in my garage just before golf ball size hail hit. No I have not notice what you described however the windshield on this new model is definitely more vertical than past models. On another "note" I find...

    GX550 Low Fuel Gas Warning Light?? Where is it?

    My past GX's (five) gas tank held approx 24 gallons. When I filled up due to the low indicator light it would take apprx 18-19 gallons., when filled my milage indicator was close to 375 miles. My new GX max. is 300 miles when the tank is filled. My opinion... the new GX should be a min of 24...

    Hood, vibration, body rolling, not Luxurious at all, not Lexus-like

    Premium Plus, there is a little bit of vibration at highway speeds, no noise. In fact this new model is much quieter than my last one on the highway. Regarding vibration, I have to focus on it otherwise not an issue. Regarding body roll… not aware of any issue with it. The GX tracts straight it...

    New GX550 owner in TX

    Is the roof rack an option you added? Sewell or Park Place as your dealer? I purchased mine at Park Place Grapevine, I'm very happy with my experience throughout the process... I purchased a Premium Plus and love it.

    GX550 transmission already a bit clunky?

    I noticed a hard shift from 1st to 2nd the 2nd day after delivery, since then the transmission has been surprisingly smooth. When I put the driving mode in sport the transmission has performed just fine. You should expect the same performance, your dealer should be able to solve the issue. Good...

    Extended Warranty

    I recently ask my salesman if I had a time limit regarding the purchase for the 6yr/70k warranty. His reply “available right up until the standard warranty expires.” Not so worried about the drive train with the standard 7yr/70k I’m concerned about the high cost of accessories, technology and...

    Reduced Capacity & Range?

    My wife’s 2024 X5 50e plug-in using the 110v to recharge nightly gets 1,500 miles to a tank of gas (based on her daily driving). My GX 550 gas range lists less than 300 miles on a full tank! Still love my new GX and enjoy driving the BMW when I’m allowed…

    Land Rover already feeling the GX550 Competition?

    I was in the same situation as you. I ended up with a Premium + with HUD, traffic jam assist, and a couple of other accessories. I drove the P400 X Dynamic SE, similar drive, a bit more wind noise on the defender. Defender in my opinion is a bit more prestigious however it also cost...

    2 Cargo Mats on build sheet?

    My original build also listed the cargo mats and all weather liners. When I received my GX Premium + it was missing the large cargo mat. My invoice was also reduced by the cost for that item. It appears the large cargo mat is not yet available. My salesman told me he will contact me as soon as...

    GX550 Overtrail Vibration

    Not sure if my comparison helps…you have (my opinion) one of the best off road trucks you can buy! My Premium+ is far superior to my last 2020 GX. Steering is precise, tracks better in the rain and the technology is up to date. The torque is amazing and the transmission response is quick. It...

    GX550 Overtrail Vibration

    Hopefully it’s the blocks on the springs. In 2016 I purchased a Shelby GT350-R and had it shipped. It had to be dropped off at a nearby lot for unloading as I drove it for the first time I felt an awful rattle… yup dealership did not pull the blocks off the suspension.

    GX hood shakes

    As I noted on an earlier post, other than some vibration the first time I drove on a freeway I have not noticed the vibration since. I’ll live with the subtle vibration and take the great drivers view of the highway!

    GX hood shakes

    I noticed the vibration (previously posted) the first time I drove my Premium Plus at highway speed. Asked my salesman if there was a solution there currently is not. To be honest after 2+ weeks I don’t notice it at all and love the improved view of the highway… most likely the lighter materials...

    Land Rover already feeling the GX550 Competition?

    I've owned 6 GX's starting with the oringinal 470. I have never had an issue only regular Service and tires. I was about to put an order on the Defender 110 X-Dynamic P400. Price differnce between the Overtrail Plus and the Defender is not much different. My Lexus salesman told be I could have...

    Realistically - when will we see inventory coming into the dealers and how much over MSRP do we think the dealer premium will be?

    Hopefully you had an opportunity to select Sport Mode during your test drive. I own a Premium Plus and I was presently surprised at the increase in throttle response when Sport Mode is selected!

    May 9th, 2024: One year wait (or more) from today

    A couple of days ago a friend told me he was contacted by a salesperson in Louisiana regarding a White OverTrail available in June. He asked me to look at his offer sheet to see if there was a markup. Under dealer adjustments there was a charge for $9,995, suffice to say he will wait for next...

    May 9th, 2024: One year wait (or more) from today

    I picked up my Premium Plus last Friday so what I learned about Traffic Jam Assist is if you drive in heavy traffic or someone in your family is driving your GX it is a very nice backup system. I contacted my insurance company and they did not offer any benefit for having "TJA" to reduce my...
