I’m guessing it’s more about bench racing in magazine comparison than anything.
A way to print better off road capability stats while changing almost nothing.
1” suspension lift isn’t going to change much, and there are other much more impactful changes you could chase if you want to improve...
I mean if you want any of these things the resale market for 2024 GX’s is still very strong haha
I bet you could manage a trade in for pretty small delta.
MP3’s have notoriously terrible sound quality so that’s a weird take.
Wireless Carplay passes high bitrate AAC to the head unit, even atmos surround audio if the head unit allows. Pretty sure android auto does this as well. CarPlay will even pass lossless streaming Apple Music to the head unit...

I’ve had a few Lexus now and they have all had a pretty strong bias for blowing air on feet rather than console vents.
GX actually seems better than average from that perspective
I’ve switched all the stuff to silent and find it much easier site to ignore.
Ya it sits there flashing in the hud when you are stopped at a light. Doesn’t bother me that much,
