    GX550 Real World MPG

    Just drove ~1500 miles from Houston to North Central PA in my wifes OT. After owning it for 5 months she only had 1015 miles on it when we started as I am pretty sure she could have a bicycle instead of a car for day to day, but I did change the oil at 900 miles before we left (sent to...

    🗞️ Breaking News 2025 Lexus GX550 Updates - Press Release

    Alright. Who wants to give me $95k for our Incognito 2024 OT with 940 miles, tint, and ceramic? I was allowed to drive it the other day and didn't return the seat to the position my wife left it and boy did I hear about it(her ride). The only sensible resolution is to make her wait on a...

    GX CoolBox Removal

    I've been hoping to find someone thats done it since we got ours and realized how little storage there is. I found this thread on the LC Forum (LC Forum- Cool Box) along with the attached document which is very discouraging as there are not just ac "air" lines, but rather what looks to be ac...

    ARB Compressor

    Suppose it depends on the size of the tires you are airing up, from what psi to what psi you are going, and how long you want to spend doing it. At OBX I air down/up sometimes a few times a day as I learned a long time ago the silica used in the pavement of Hwy 12 chews up an expensive 35”...

    ARB Compressor

    Haven’t seen anyone advertising the bracket for under the hood yet (if there is even space for one). If you don’t mind all the racket the compressor makes when airring up (or your wife and pup aren’t in the vehicle generally when you air up after leaving the beach or trail like mine) you could...

    ARB Compressor

    Highly recommend ARB! Have one mounted under the hood in our wrangler and plumbed to rear with a quick connect. Works beautifully, airs up 33’s in about 1 min each from ~18psi at beach. Going on 4 years without issue. Picked up the portable toolbox version to take between my power wagon and...

    GX550 Overtrail Vibration

    For what its worth we picked up our Overtrail on 7/25 (after being on hold at port from 4/30) and happy to report we have absoluletly ZERO issues after driving for over 2 months around the city, on the highway, and all things in between. We were worried for a bit when we were waiting from all...

    Windshield sun shields

    Until Covercraft comes out with their folding one, I also went with the Weathertech. Fits great and works as it should, just a lot easier to fold one up than it is to roll it up.

    Speedometer recalibration for larger tires?

    What's everyone doing for recalibrating the speedo when upsizing tires? I realize it's early on in the GX550 run and from what I've seen with our Jeeps/Power Wagon, it usually takes companies a bit of time to come up with a programmer that can adjust for tire size but it's our first Lexus and...

    GX550 30 Day Stop Sale?

    Since we finally got our OT less than 2 weeks ago after it sitting at port for 3+ months I have received 3 calls now from another dealership here in Houston that had an OT available that someone backed out of. If anyone knows anyone looking call Westside Lexus in Houston. They had 2 White OT’s...

    Overtrail with sunroof?

    We were told by the sales manager that the moonroof delete is no longer an option, doesn’t matter where you are. Only 1 squeaked through before the change from Northside Lexus in Houston. We actually passed on the allocation when it was offered.

    GX550 30 Day Stop Sale?

    Finally. But man, it may have actually been worth the wait! Exceeding expectations already in comfort, handling, ride, and tech. Not sure she’ll let me drive it much, but her smile is worth every penny. Today is a good day

    GX550 30 Day Stop Sale?

    Must be on the same train as ours. (Try not to focus on the build date and the "vesel arrival at port date")

    GX550 30 Day Stop Sale?

    Talked to the salesman and looks like our "OG-OT" (original allocation OT) is on the train and officially at least in Texas. It will be there before any of the 'make up allocations’ with an ETA at dealership 7/20 to 7/23. (7/20 is wife's bday- and its her vehicle 🤞) So, now we just need to...

    GX550 Real World MPG

    We'll be out in Creede and doing the Alpine Loop end of August. Hopefully in our OT (still at port since 4/30) but if not here in time in the Power Wagon. Enjoy and thanks for sharing the real life mpg

    GX550 30 Day Stop Sale?

    Welp. Just told by Salesman that his manager said ours is now not expected at the dealership until 8/7.🤬😤 He was then told by me that we no longer want that vehicle. We’re not spending this kind of money on a vehicle that’s been sitting in the sun by the ocean for over 4 months without a...

    GX550 30 Day Stop Sale?

    Ours was built 4/8, arrived in Long Beach 4/30 and is still sitting there in "processing" with no delivery estimate according to our update on 7/1. This got old for us a month ago. It's completely altered vacation plans for the summer as we sold our daiy in May when they told us it was "in...

    GX550 30 Day Stop Sale?

    I'm betting folks would be surprised at how many new aluminum hoods have more play in them at highway speed. Just drove my 2022 Power Wagon 1551 miles back home to PA from TX. If I paid attention to the hood instead of the road and the unreal amount of holiday travelers I could definitely see...

    GX550 30 Day Stop Sale?

    another factor is that I think those of us who were designated an early allocation (ours arrived at port 4/30, then on hold 5/17) but are caught up in the hold are then "hidden" from the list and skipped over as new GX's are available for allocation since we are already taken car of in the eyes...

    Yep. We were told last Friday ours was released from hold and now I check yesterday on progress and still processing at port and delivery window stretches into Aug. At this point, whatever.

    GX550 Real World MPG

    Some of you have never owned a lifted JKU (Jeep Wrangler 4-door) or Power Wagon and it shows... :ROFLMAO: Just picking, but considering I filled up the JKU yesterday with ~17 gallons and only had driven 198 miles, we'll be living high on the hog with the 16-18 mpg in the GX. Don't even get...

    Overtrail with sunroof?

    We were told last Friday by our salesman (same day we got the news our was released from the QC hold and was headed our way) that the "sunroof delete" was no longer an option. We had passed on an OT in thier first allocation without a sunroof and it came through without any QC hold and has been...
