    mild vibration/shake on highway when accelerating

    I think it is a transmission shifting vibration, and for me it is only when driving at low speeds and very mild acceleration. I'm driving it like a baby for the break in period, and when I'm barely accelerating it seems like maybe it almost isn't applying enough force on the transmission for a...

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

    I'm hoping the computer figures some things out eventually for all of us, because highway driving at say 20mpg, and a 21.1g tank should yield a range of 400+ miles, and after filling up mine says about 260 miles.

    TPMS

    Mine started out with them all at 39, but a few weeks later and they are all showing 35 or 36 without me making any changes.

    GX550 Overtrail Vibration

    My tires all came at 39psi, but I have no complaints about vibration in my OT, it drives really smooth, so I hope they get the issues corrected for you quickly. Also, I've been mostly city and city highway driving for the first 700 miles, and I'm averaging 18mpg if I drive conservatively, and...

    2024 GX 550 Build by Westcott Designs

    When I told my wife I wanted to get the GX, her first question was, "But, are you going to want to lift it and put bigger tires on it?", and I told her I thought it looked so good they way it is that I would want to keep it in is original factory suspension and tire size. I think it looks really...

    GX hood shakes

    I've had mine for a couple weeks and plenty of highway and city driving. The only way I can see any vibrations when driving on the highway is watching closely and maybe there is some slight movement when I hit bumps in the road at highway speed, but certainly nothing that seems concerning...

    PPF pricing reference for partial front in Austin, Tx

    Apparently they can do something similar, one place offered an optically clear windshield protection film to prevent minor chips due to the windshield being so vertical.

    PPF pricing reference for partial front in Austin, Tx

    Wow, did that include fenders, lights, mirrors and A pillars? That seems really good if they did a good job on it.

    Intro

    Mine is just the regular Overtrail, and while I had thought I would get the +, I'm quite happy with my purchase so far.

    I can tell you the plastic ones work reasonably well for limiting water splashing up on the doors when driving on wet paved roads...

    PPF pricing reference for partial front in Austin, Tx

    I'm seeing very similar prices here in Indy, ~$2,500 for full front PPF and $1,200 to $2,400 for ceramic depending on coats and stuff like inside wheels and doing the calipers.

    Intro

    I haven't driven the other variants, and I was only interested in the Overtrail, but my Overtrail drives great on the roads.

    New GX550 Luxury owner in pearl white

    That looks fantastic! I thought I would get mine in white but I found one available in Incognito so I got it.

    So far the only "mods" I am working on lining up are paint protection film for the front section and ceramic coat over everything. As of now there don't seem to be any fun offroad mods available yet, like options for installing a winch or even weathertech floor mats. It comes so well outfitted...

    Nori Green Overtrail Checking In

    I measured across my Toyo tires brand new and they are right at 32.6 inches. I usually try to go up in size on tires to the largest possible without modifications. I put 34.5 inch tires on my Tundra and only had to slightly bend up the edge of the very light skid plate. But I have to say, the GX...

    Looks identical to mine. Just FYI, I took the roof rack off for daily driving because it made quite a bit of wind noise on the lead edge right above the sunroof. It takes a Torx 30 bit, but 8 bolts on top and then one on each mount and it was off, super easy, less than 5 minutes with my son helping.

    New GX550 owner in TX

    Yes, I agree, having the cool box is nice, but where the heck do I put all my stuff?

    Intro thread - greetings from Ohio

    It's a good idea to keep in mind that the LR is a unibody while the Lexus is a body on frame. Both can tow a good amount, but if you tow often the frame option on the Lexus is definitely better. Also, when running a weight distribution hitch, having that load torque applied to the frame is...

    So nice! Now granted, I'm coming from a Tundra running 34.5 inch Nitto Ridge Grapplers, and I thought those were pretty nice too, but man, this GX rides so smooth and quiet. I can hear just a tiny bit of tire hum, mostly because I know what to listen for, but it is actually very slight, but also...

    No, the incognito is just a straight gray, no fleck. The dealer had an Overtrail + that was sold, but had the silver with the metallic fleck. It looked nice, but seeing both at the same time, I preferred the Incognito because the wheels looked a little better with it. The Overtrail + is a great...

    Hello from Indy

    I'm glad to find this forum with other enthusiastic owners and soon to be owners of GX550s. I was able to find an Overtrail in Incognito Gray that fits my needs perfectly. I live in Indy and have owned a Tundra since 2010. I planned to get another Toyota, but my lackluster experience at the...

    Hello, I'm a long time Toyota Tundra owner, really liked the new Land Cruiser, but didn't enjoy my recent Toyota dealership experiences. Started looking at Lexus for the GX550 and realized it was the perfect vehicle for me. Mine is an Overtrail in Incognito Gray and it is amazing.
