Mine is supposed to go back in next week for the second time, this time with the head service manager doing the test drive. Although the appointment is contingent upon them getting in a brand new OT or OT+ so we can compare (again). He already told me that Lexus won't send a regional rep to look...

How do these tires ride compared to the stock OT tires? Really would like to know how quiet they are too. They get really good reviews. I’m eying a similar setup, but have had BFG KO2 C-load for years. Have you tested full flex yet? More pics? Apologies if you already answered this elsewhere!

Anybody out there go to a silver wheel?

Man I sure hope this is the case!

Is it possible it was an accidental hang up? Regardless, definitely call Lexus. The vehicle issues need to be reported. Toyota cannot help if there aren't enough reports of it. As a side note, on the Fecebook group this morning, there are a large number

You probably saw my post before, but my service manager told me that it is a known issue and that Lexus will be replacing the brakes on all GX's that have brake noise, including pads, shims, and rotors. He said he doesn't have that in writing from Lexus, but he said it is going to happen...

The Sherpa also has proprietary rubber blocks (not sure right term) used to mount to the factory holes, so you don't have to use RTV silicone.

I definitely will once I do, if I do, but it probably isn't going to be for a while. Gotta wait for my suspension evaluation from Lexus Corporate first before I start cutting up the interior. I am also looking at installing two sliding drawers in the rear. Measured this today, and looks like I'd...

I’m also seeing around 15mpg but also all city.

I’m thinking of adding a powerful 10” subwoofer to the passenger side behind the wheel well and then also adding some beefy midrange speakers to the rear doors.

Could be, and the dealer just told me that they agree the ride of the OT's (that they have driven, which is only a handful) is not as good as the other trims. From my testing, it definitely does it more than a 23 TRD Pro Sequoia and a 2010 4runner, so, just because it is for offroad, doesn't...

Brave move. I wouldn't do that...I'd be way too scared, LOL.

Good points in the last several responses. As mentioned I drove another non-OT GX550, and it rode smoother. The tech said mine and another brand new OT rode the same, and says that is just how the OT's are gonna ride. But they have only seen 5 OTs come in for service. I did do the water test...

OK I have an update. Took mine in this morning for the vibration (or I would call it more of a shutter or shakiness or oversensitivity to the smaller road imperfections). The service department was very respectful and very willing to check out any issues. Said mine was only about the fifth OT...

I’ve said it before, but they should put the TX 550h+ PHEV Powertrain in this thing. Not gonna happen but would be cool.

Seems like we are very limited on wheel choices if we want some positive offset, but I really like the 703s that you got. I like the 701 the most but not sure it'll work for this.

Never been crazy about black rims, although I do recognize that they are way more popular now a days. Those TE rims are just classic. Easy to clean too. Would look good on any truck probably. I’m pondering doing a titanium color aftermarket rim on the GX with 285/75/17 and maybe matching that...

Tried putting a 4Runner TE rim on it today. Fits fine, and I guess has different offset, because it seems to poke them out more, but couldn’t tell for sure because I couldn’t get lugs to work. The BFG AT KO2 285/70/17 load C is damn near the exact size of the stock OT setup. Not sure why because...

Adding a sub is a definite possibility!

Good point. I didn't think about the fact that it probably has AC lines in there. I will be curious to see what you do for storage aback there once you get yours. Hopefully some others can post about what they've done.

First time in the woods.

Any tips to deal with Toyota/Lexus terrible sound quality when using bluetooth for phone calls? Wife's 2023 Highlander is horrible too. I took hers to dealer a while back and they say nothing wrong, but seems to me that the phone calls only come through the front tweeters, and not the whole...

Selling the brand new factory offroad roof rack that came on my OT+. Was on the vehicle for two days. Located in Charleston, SC. Dealer forced me to pay for it even though I was always planning to go aftermarket and they knew it. Make a reasonable offer via PM. Thanks.

Regarding the AVS, I think somebody suggested it on here a while back, but does anybody know how to temporarily disable the AVS? Is there a fuse?

This is indeed interesting...I wonder if they are "quietly" fixing it for now until they officially admit it's an issue and put out a TSB? Would that be possible? Maybe that is a stupid question I dunno...

It would be nice if an aftermarket company came out with some legit storage compartments that could be put in these locations.

Coming from a 4runner, I am finding myself desperate for storage areas in this GX. My OT+ has the cool box too, and I didn't really want it because I would rather have more storage. I wonder if there is a way to swap it out with another GX that has the regular storage compartment? I bet the non...
