:ROFLMAO: I f#$&%ing HATE the stupid fake engine noise in all the newer vehicles. It's been pissing me off for years, and I've been cursing the engineers over that one all along, but that's the BEST response to that idiotic idea! That, and the rest of your list, Bluegill, is exactly what I'm...

I just heard a newer Land Cruiser brake squeal, from inside our showroom, as one of our employees was pulling out of a parking space. The sound is hideous! So it would appear that between the GX, the LC, and the Tundra, that's a whole lot of brakes that need to get replaced nationwide, so some...

Good looking build. I really am liking the low profile bumpers a few of these companies are coming up with. However, the wheel setups that push the tires out beyond the wheel wells, even with a slight lift, appear to cut WAY down on the amount of articulation that Lexus built into these trucks...

Performance oriented brake pads will squeal a lot, especially when cold or under very light pedal pressure or very slow speeds. I'm wondering if that could be the issue, and the fix is going to be back toward a lower performance oriented brake pad due to all the complaints. Then all the...

Everybody, STOP YELLING!!!! You're giving me a headache. :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Good looking build! :cool: I really like the look of that full length roof rack. When we saw a few GX's at the dealer last week, they had the PIO racks behind the moonroof. Wife said she liked the look, but I told her those make too much noise and it'll drive us nuts on road trips (I've had a...

Word from our local Lexus dealer is the "protective" plastic on the hood caused some early paint issues, but they haven't seen that show up again in almost a month None of the 9 GX's that showed up yesterday morning had any hood paint issues. I looked at 4 of them and the hoods looked perfect...

We went in to our dealer yesterday to look at exterior & interior colors, after 9 GX's showed up early morning. All were spoken for, so we still haven't driven one, still haven't sat in the seats, even. The throttle delay is pretty prominent in a couple of the new twin turbo V6 non-hybrid...

Wow! That must be really bad in person, because it looks terrible in those photos. Some of those don't look like they'll buff out, and I see scratches all the time that our paint correction guy has to work on. If you agree to take the vehicle, you should demand that the hood gets...

I'm not quite that old, I was still just a passenger through most of the 70s. 🤣

That's not too bad on a barely broken in motor, SethGX. The rest of you youngsters griping about mpgs are cracking me up. I know you're young 'cause after 50, you're stopping for bathroom breaks WAY before the tank needs refilled on a road trip, so you're always topping off the tank when you...

Got this from my salesman today. Ours come out of Jacksonville. "The GXs are supposed to start releasing next week from the inspection hold they were in. Each vehicle takes just under an hour to get through so i am not sure how many they have to work through and how fast that will happen."

Great photo!

I bet if you pushed while you were in the finance office, they would have backed off, realizing you might just pay off right away and they'd get a charge back. Or, they'd stick to their guns hoping you might just wait to pay off, increasing their chance of making a little extra money, and if you...

Yeah, we have no real use for the cool box, not even on road trips. For us, the extra center console storage space is more important, since we always take at least a small cooler for non-drink items anyway, and oftentimes a big cooler to bring back specialty items we find on our trips. At some...

That i don't know

I'm not getting tired of waiting. Both of our current vehicles are serving us just fine. We waited 4 years for a Bronco, then decided to give up on that once I saw the LC/GX announcement, because that will suit our needs better. If the Bronco was available in a reasonable time frame, we'd be...

That is the non-cool box. The non-cool box is quite a bit bigger than the cool box, so you're loosing a decent bit of storage to have 2 or 3 ice cold drinks on-hand at all times.

I got a text yesterday from a dealer outside of Atlanta saying that they have an Overtrail coming in next week, and from what I can see, it does have the sunroof...

That Nori Green looks pretty sweet on the Overtrail. Congrats!

This forum sounds just like Tacoma4g did when there were QC holds on the brand new Tacomas, and Ranger 4g when there were QC holds, and Bronco4g during those holds. The internet has created a world of "instant satisfaction", essentially removing all ability for folks to wait patiently for...

Not true, because you don't know the EXACT reason your GX is on hold. There isn't a dealer out there that has that info. There are rumors circulating about sunroofs being the cause, but still no actual concrete official reason. The GX, according to the Toyota/Lexus recall filing, is not...

"V35A engines of this configuration, manufactured after this production period, were manufactured with new or improved processes that better clear machining debris." Reading the entire document, the issue was caught in 2022 and addressed in early 2023 regarding the manufacturing and cleaning...

Well that's interesting. I drive from dead center, leaning left, or leaning right depending on situation , mood, etc. Be interesting to hear further feedback from folks on this one...

🤣 We have a deposit on an Incognito Overtrail+. It looks great in all the photos, so I hope it looks as good in person. Question Seth, does it have any metallic fleck in it at all? Reason I ask is Toyota's Cement color does, you just can't tell until you are up close.

Goes to show you what a difference a good salesperson makes. A good salesperson will always insist that, no matter what, the customer drive the actual vehicle they're buying before finalizing the deal and driving off. I hear all the time "I've already driven one", or a few, etc. But things...

$1,000 deposit on Overtrail+, Incognito with black roof, no moonroof.

Yes, some of these issues are unfortunate, but in this day and age, NONE of the manufacturers are immune. The QC issues began, across the board, with the Covid shutdowns, and, unfortunately, have been VERY slow to be corrected. A LOT of people got a bit lazy through all that - I saw a big...

Just noticed this thread. I love the driver's side grab handles! So sick of trucks/SUVs ditching the driver grab handle, and more sick of the "grab the steering wheel" argument. The angle of the steering wheel is all wrong when trying to pull yourself up to get in when the vehicle is in funky...

I think a bunch of us sort of knew this was probably coming. The good news is that Toyota/Lexus have officially acknowledged the issue, and should, therefore, be taking care of everyone without much hassle. And, very soon, if not already recently, has addressed the issue at the stage of...
