    What I can’t stand about my GX

    Some of you guys are hard to please.......roof rack noise is still my only major issue. I knew there was very little storage, so I bought a small storage box to hold all the stuff I had in the console of my 2500HD.

    Car & Driver: Overland and See: 2024 Land Rover Defender 130 vs. 2024 Lexus GX550

    I love mine. And I haven't loved a vehicle in a long time. For the last three years I drove a '21 GMC 2500 Denali, Black Diamond Edition. The nicest truck I've ever had. While it was a great towing vehicle, it sucked to park and drive around town. I look forward to driving the GX every...

    It would be interesting to track those two vehicles and see which one has mechanical issues first.......

    Just purchased my Lexusgx550 luxury plus

    I prefer limo tint for the privacy and cooling effect. I've never had it obstruct my view out of a rear view mirror though. I think it's because the rear glass already had factory tinting and the limo made it even darker. I'm already used to it and will leave it. Will all the sensors, I feel...

    Atomic Silver(Bi-Tone)/Chateau OT+ incoming!

    I think you will love everything but the roof rack. That has been my experience and I just passed 1k miles.

    Trading in my 2018 Tundra for a GX550 Overtrail

    You should keep that Tundra and still get the GX. The old Tundras are awesome.....

    Just purchased my Lexusgx550 luxury plus

    I had the dealer do limo tint on everything but the front two, which are 30%. I can hardly see anything out of the back window. I really miss my digital rear view mirror.

    Window tinting

    If you do tint your front windshield in Texas, just make sure you don't have too many drinks at dinner. That's easy PC for a rookie cop and you will be standing on one leg on the side of the road.

    Drive Modes

    Normal, but i need to read more to see what the other modes really mean. Sport S + is fun. I've not bothered to read in depth what the other modes do. Please add this here if you know

    By far one of the best SUVs I've owned. Love this thing! Just need a little love from Lexus with a roof rack mod for the wind noise

    Yeah, I love mine as well. Actually saw two more in Fort Worth yesterday. Counting mine, that's only 4 I've seen in the wild since I ordered mine 8 weeks ago.

    Hi All, Undecided but GX550 on our short list

    Well, I love everything about my OT, other than the wind noise from the roof rack. It's super sporty and soft and the same time. I don't really care about the gas milage since I came from a GMC 2500 HD and I wanted the pep of the GX. I've had Tundras, 4Runners and Tacos. This is my favorite.

    GX550 Overtrail Vibration

    I'm up to just under 800 miles on my OT. The only noise complaint is from the roof rack. I'm extremely happy with everything else, so far. As far as driving another one at the dealer, you can't here. They don't have any that aren't spoken for.

    OT rack noise solution (it works!)

    How did you tie it off each end?

    Break-in

    I think that is one of the safety features that can be turned off. My wife commented on it today.

    Coming to a GX on order from a 2022 Defender

    I've always "wanted" a Range Rover but have always heard they are not very reliable. Th 550 has the Range Rover look, but with the Toyota reliability we all appreciate. How will the 349HP stack up against your Defender?

    Rhino Rack Wind Faring

    Has anybody with the Overtrail Roof rack tried to fit a Rhino Rack Wind faring to see if it will fit and reduce the wind noise? https://www.rhinorack.com/en-us/products/roof-racks/wind-fairings/vortex-wind-fairings

    GX hood shakes

    The hood flexes, but no noise it made. Only noise I have is wind noise from the roof rack.

    Upgrading speakers in base 10-speaker stereo

    Just my opinion....my wife has a 22 GX with the ML system. My new 550 has the Lexus premium 10 speaker system. Other than the "fade" option, I really don't notice a sound difference. Please don't get me wrong, I love music, but there isn't a $3K difference in sound quality to me. And at...

    GX550 Overtrail Vibration

    Drove my OT nearly 200 miles today, mostly highway. My only minor complaint would be wind noise caused by the roof rack. Really can't expect it to be quiet and we like the look of it, though it will likely NEVER see a tint on it. Otherwise, I am super happy with the ride.

    GX550 newbie 2 questions

    1. Is there a way to download Pandora to my vehicle so I don't have to use my phone and Apple Carplay to listen to it? 2. Is there a way to stop the side view mirrors from tilting in reverse? I've looked and can't find the switch, if there is one. Thank you in advance!! Trace

    Break-in

    Not GX related, but back in my Texas Highway Patrol days, when we'd pick up a new patrol car in Austin, we were told to break it in like it was going to be driven. So we would take them to 120+ numerous times on the 200 mile trip home. Those cars get driven hard and idled for days. Didn't...

    Bluetooth and Carplay Issue

    Had mine for 1 day and this happened a few minutes ago. A total shutdown and restart got me back in business.

    GX550 Overtrail Vibration

    My driving experience is still very limited, but so far, I have no "real" complaints. I'm planning a short trip to take my Dad to lunch tomorrow, so I will get about 150 miles of mostly highway driving. I'm hoping for a nice experience. The amount of safety features on this vehicle is crazy.
