    Thanks for the clarification. More reason not to get it from Lexus.

    Lexus GX 550 AAP Program

    I did not want the weather strip in the front to be cut when installing the Prinsu. Sherpa uses a different method to install their rack. They also use thicker aluminum. I like that the warranty covers the rack if installed by Lexus.

    Lexus GX 550 AAP Program

    I don't have the car at the moment so no accessories yet. I won't be getting the Prinsu as originally planned. I'm getting either the Sherpa Atlas or Westcott Designs. I would like to get the air compressor. Unfortunately, there is very little information on this accessories program...

    Choosing Full Roof Rack: Prinsu or Westcott?

    I had originally settled on Prinsu but then took a look at Westcott. Now I will get the Atlas rack from Sherpa for two reasons. First reason is the thicker aluminum and second is the no cutting of the rubber weather strip on the roof. Sherpa is more expensive than either Prinsu or Westcott...

    Window tinting

    On all my cars, I opted for 50% on the Windshield. I did use the 80% AIR once but have found that the 50% is best for heat rejection while not impeding night vision.

    Awaiting delivery of an Atomic Silver OverTrail plus

    Hey YellowLab, have you gotten your vehicle from Longo? I placed an order for an Overtrail + on 11/28/23 and I'm not even close to getting it. Well, I was offered an in stock one a few days ago but I declined. I had suspicions it wasn't exactly new. I recently changed my preferred color to...

    GX550 30 Day Stop Sale?

    At this pace I don't think I will be seeing the vehicle until 2025 rolls around. Was expecting the vehicle later this year considering where I'm at on Longo's massive list. Might be a blessing in disguise.

    Overtrail vs Overtrail+.

    Lexus basically adopted the Apple way of doing things, e.g. nudging buyers toward the higher trims for features that should be standard on a 60 - 70K vehicle.

    OT Roof Rack

    I believe the 165 lbs is the load rating for the factory rails only whether they are being used with crossbars or factory rack. The load rating for the Prinsu Pro rack is 700lbs dynamic and 1200lbs static. Basically, the factory rails are not meant for RTTs which is disappointing.

    OT Roof Rack

    You would have to mount the Prinsu Pro Roof Rack made for the GX 550 to install a RTT that is over 165 lbs. When my time arrives I'm hoping for a OT+ with rock rails but no factory roof rack. I will purchase the Prinsu rack if available and have it installed before pickup. That's the plan anyway.

    Lexus GX 550 AAP Program

    Anyone familiar with the AAP program for the GX 550? I'm looking to get the Prinsu rack so I can install the Camp King RTT. I would prefer to get the AAP build package rather than installing each component afterwards. Thank you.

    How often are new GX550 allocations given?

    Longo Lexus in southern California has 20 vehicles in production. I have seen their numbers slowly increasing. Other dealers in the area do not show anything on their web portal.

    What vehicle will the GX550 replace?

    Replacing 2017 Honda Fit with 2022 RAV4 Prime being relegated to my wife. I'm hoping to get the GX Overtrail + sometime later this year so I can continue to explore the rougher trails.

    I believe it is standard unless you delete it as an option.

    GX550 Overtrail & Premium Plus Window Stickers

    I believe the the factory roof rack attaches directly to the roof rails. The two GX 550s at Longo that are in production both have moonroof/sunroof. Generally speaking, a moonroof delete will be hard to find in Southern California.

    πŸ‘‹ Welcome to the Lexus GX 550 Forum! Please post an introduction thread!

    I would love to get one without moonroof but being in California I don't think that is remotely possible.

    GX550 Overtrail Tires

    The Toyo Open Country A/T III does have the 3-Peak snow rating and as far as I can tell the tires are more than adequate in snowy conditions.

    Head-Up Display - Is it a must add?

    I find head-up display (HUD) to be annoying. I would prefer this option to be excluded but knowing allocation for Long Lexus it will be included along with every other possible option.

    πŸ’Έ The 'official' I put my deposit down list...

    Got placed on the order list yesterday. My configured vehicle is Overtrail + with Earth exterior, Chateau or Black Olive interior. No deposit required. I'm sure I'm at the bottom of the list so not expecting the vehicle until maybe quarter 3 or 4.
