I think we're gonna need a photo of your biceps before we jump to any conclusions... Just kidding, that's very unfortunate, but I appreciate you sharing so we can be careful with those levers.

OK, it was driving me crazy so I downloaded the manual and looked it up. It's on page 257, but it is the Proactive Driving Assist feature. I think if you turn that off it should address your issue.

There is another feature that does this but I'm not where I can look at it and tell you the name right now. When I picked mine up the sales guy said it's the only feature he always turns off because otherwise so many people complain about it hitting the brakes for them every time they let off...

Also on HUD, you can't see tachometer unless you disable the adaptive cruise control. Switch it to regular cruise control to see the tach arch on the HUD in full mode.

I have an Overtrail and I can only answer the first question. Yes, the ceiling vents are notably missing, and the backseat gets warm on hot days. I ended up getting all the windows tinted with nano ceramic film to help keep it cooler inside and that has made a big difference.

Yeah, I I almost always go with the biggest possible tires on my vehicles. I drove my 2010 Tundra from the dealership to discount tire and had them put bigger tires immediately. But the tundra has so much low end power that even with 34.5" Nitto Ridge Grapplers, I can turn them over pretty...

I haven't tested, but I've been looking and wondering the same thing. Stock tires are 265/70/18 which is right at 32.6 inches. A 275/70/18 would be 33.2 inches, definitely would not be a problem. A 285/70/18 is 33.7, which I still think would work fine. I'm not planning to replace my stock tires...

Minor things for now. I added a center console padded armrest, and one on my driver for armrest, to make it even more relaxing to drive. I added a 90 degree USB-C adapter to make it so a charging cable lays flatter for my phone, and I added a phone mount in front of the cup holders on the little...

Yes, I got a few quotes and they were generally similar, but varied in what was included or extra. I was planning to use Pristine Auto Spa (Pristine Auto Spa · Indianapolis, Indiana) and they were pretty responsive, but when I was ready to do it I had a bit of a time crunch and they couldn't fit...

I was told that some (shady) dealerships are actually doing deals where they sell a GX, or other high demand vehicle like Land Cruiser, to a customer at MSRP, then the customer immediately trades it in on another vehicle, and now the dealership can sell the "used" vehicle for more than MSRP...

Most of the trip was 70-75, so it's not like I was doing 60 with a tailwind or anything. I was trying to be a bit conscientious so I didn't go hammer down to pass, I mostly just set it on cruise around 75 and that's it.

It's a simple calculation that is based on adding the tire size and the angle of the windshield multiplied by the inverse of the amount of awesomeness to get mpg estimates. I'm surprised it's not lower for the GX once you realize that.

I was able to get 21.2 on a five hour highway drive from Michigan to Indiana, but I'm averaging just a hair under 17 around town.

After I had nano ceramic tint added to my windshield, the installers put new tape on the back of the Dashcam plate and left it just hanging for me to adhere once the tint was dry. I pulled the cowling off from around the rear view mirror, unplugged each of 4 plugs one at a time to allow me to...

I went to a Toyota dealership to look at the LC. They had a first edition, which they let me sit in, but not start or test drive. It was MSRP of $77k, with a $10k dealer markup. It was nice enough, but not $87k nice in my opinion. At that time I was not even aware of the new GX, but I started...

Just got all the windows tinted, including 70% on the windshield. All nano ceramic for heat rejection. Also, got the whole thing ceramic coated.

Yeah, what with all the different speed limits and such... ;)

Hmm, I don't remember seeing it on the HUD, but it certainly seems like it should.

Here you go, the little gas pump icon changes from white to orange and it pops up a low fuel message in the middle of the gauge cluster. And also, I expected it to show when I got to 15 miles range, but it didn't show up until 12 miles.

Well, in fairness, I wasn't waiting until it was empty to fill it up, I was filling up when it was convenient to stop at Costco even if it was still at half. This time I'm actually trying to get to a nearly empty tank before I fill it up.

Here are my last 6 fill ups that show MPG calculation to give you an idea running on 93 octane fuel with a broad mix of highway, city and rural driving. Also, some very mild driving and some spinning up the turbos a little bit.

After about a month, some of the initial excitement is easing up a little bit. But it is still fun that wherever I go people ask me about it. I find myself feeling very happy with my decision and I have zero envy of what anyone else is driving. Land Rover Discovery? Come on son! Jeep Wrangler...

I use Android Auto and it connects fine MOST of the time. I've had a couple times when it wouldn't connect unless I turned the truck off and started it again. Otherwise it is working very well so far.

I may or may not have hit 90 in my OT yesterday passing some vehicles to get over for an exit, and I had zero vibrations, no hood shake, just smooth acceleration. I'm only sharing this to help you guys that are dealing with this because it's definitely not right. I feel so bad for those of you...

For those of you experiencing this dramatic vibration, I will just say that is NOT normal. When I test drove my OT, I just remember thinking it was just so buttery smooth to drive. I drove it on smooth roads and very bumpy roads, and it just seemed to glide over it all nicely. It could be wheel...

OK, so apparently we may not be in quite the dire straits we think. Recently when filling up, my GX would tell me my range was 265 miles. But this week I took a road trip and when I filled up it gave me a range of 298 miles, so getting better already. I then drove 274 miles, and my range reduced...
