Thanks. Yes wind noise is an issue but the noise is with the OEM platform rack and not with the Thule box. I had the Thule box on our GX460 and although you can hear it, it was not nowhere as bad as our GX550. The OEM rack on the GX550 is extremely noisy at 60mph and up and that's what I am...

You are posting on a GX forum, everyone is going recommend the GX550 :) Although, not an Overtrail, we had our Premium Plus for just over a week, put in 900 miles, averaging 18.6 mpg. Highway driving averages 20-21 mpg and this is with the OEM platform rack installed. Drove up mountain...

Yes, they refunded me. Based on feedback on this thread, I ordered a set of WeatherTech cargo mats and they fit perfectly on our 7 seater. Very Impressed, even the cutouts for hooks and 3rd row seat belts are precise.

While waiting for Thule or Yakima to release their crossbars for GX550 ( OEM flush rails crossbars seems to be sold out or removed from Lexus dealer sites), I installed our Thule Motion Alpine box on the OEM flush rails roof rack. Surprisingly the clamps work and sits secure even if the entire...

I don't think the oil temperature display shows the actual temperature - just a line/scale with red at the end if it overheats? I am still going through the manual learning about the car, and probably felt asleep reading it many times, so many pages of information..

Does the Overtrail cargo mat #PT9086024720 fit Premium/Lux with the 3rd row down? Otherwise, anyone here with a Premium/ Lux trim with a full size OEM cargo mat? What was the part number? I went online and ordered based on the photos on the Lexus website. # PT9086024820 showed a full size...

You add the siri commands within the Lexus app and it will then ask if you want to add to Apple wallet. It will ask you to record a voice command for each of the available feature.

Similar happened to me. Drove off and realize I did not have physical remote with me. Panicked. I thought, the keys must be in the car otherwise how could I have unlocked and drove away? Turned out my dealer had setup the digital key in my Lexus app lol. My dealer also warned me about the...

Sorry to hear about this. If you are going to use the cooler again, I won't worry about it. Scuffs are sometimes like scars, they age with you and you will have memories of the trips and silly things you did in years to come. Otherwise leave a set of moving blankets inside for cushioning.

Note that the bottom of Thule roof boxes are not flat. The mounting section with clamps are indented into the box to allow it to sit lower to the roof. If you are going with their XXL boxes and a full roof rack such as Wescott, etc, make sure there is enough space between the front and back of...

Picked our Premium + this week with 6 miles on the odometer. Ours has the OEM roof rack. First 60+ miles, mostly city driving and idling, averaged 9.6 mpg. Was prepared for the worse lol .. Took it backroads for an easy drive, 40-55 mph and it went up to 19mpg. On a 80 miles drive today...

Thanks Bill and Shawn. Coming home and slowing down for last few minutes makes sense. It is the highway bathroom breaks, sometimes you just forget and want to run in for a pee lol . Guess we just have to make it a habit to remember to wait if its a hard drive. I wish Lexus has an option to...

Anyone actually following Lexus manual recommendation to idle 1 minute after driving over 62mph (100 km/h) or steep hill/track driving - see manual page 172. I am planning to keep ours long term and keeping the 3.4V6 TT relatively trouble free is my main concern down the road. Was thinking...

Congrats! Possibly have them show you the menu to turn off annoying safety beeps such as eye detect and cross traffic .. otherwise it could be a constant beeping drive home lol .. traffic jam assist and adaptive cruise will work with the eye detect monitor turned off.

Congrats!

I’ve searched it up too, unfortunately no auto lock when you walk away at the moment .. what I found useful is the remote lock and status with the Lexus app, and unless you are in a very remote area or underground parking lot , you can check status and lock remotely if you forgot ...

Ouch! Do you change oil at 3,000 or 5,000 miles intervals? If I recall, oil change at Lexus for our GX460 (4.6 V8) was less than $ 200 and you normally won't be hit with unexpected wear and tear items except maybe for tires and brakes after 20-30k miles. Contrast to the German cars, better...

The twin turbo V6 is a complicated engine and would require more maintenance down the road. You can look up reviews online, one good example - look up Car Care Nut on youtube. With more hp, you are also probably going to need new tires and brakes more frequently. Servicing cost is probably...

East Coast, which port? Ours arrived at NJ port and took just over 2 weeks before it got to our dealer in MA. Typically goes through customs clearance, then QC and port installed options before heading out. Its almost there.. enjoy your GX.

This. If your use case is highway most of the time and an occasional off road adventure and you are not going to rock climb, Premium Plus will be more practical. Switch to a set of 18" wheels and tire combo with enough sidewall to allow you to air down sufficiently for the beach (10-15psi?)...

I believe in Australia incognito is called titanium carbide grey. They name colors differently down under .. no fancy names for colors .. might want to ask your dealer again to verify .. Meanwhile here we are jealous of you all in Australia as we cannot get the 70 series LC.

Ours just arrived at the dealership today, pending paperwork. Lucky for us, 2 weeks + from deposit to arrival at dealership. Some friends asked me, did Lexus forget to paint the vehicle, why is it still on a primer coat :)

Our doc fee was $ 687, title $ 5, "other" undisclosed fee $ 135. I believe delivery and handling fee of $ 1,350 on window sticker is fixed. Did you ask what the handling fee is for?
