    Squealing Brakes 550 Overtrail

    My dealer replaced the entire rear brakes disks, rotars, calipers, pads. My GX brakes make no noise since the repairs and I live at the beach and my GX lives outside. I just left my car outside for two weeks while I was out of town and drove it this morning with no noise. Sounds like your...

    The New Lexus GX550 Struggles Towing 9,000 Pounds up The World’s Toughest Towing Test!

    I like to rely on experience to have an opinion - not ridiculous comments. I have towed numerous trailers with a variety of vehicles - including 3/4 ton diesels. Also a Chevy Tahoe, Suburban, 4Runner, F150, etc. Anyone who actually safely tows knows you never tow near the stated maximum tow...

    The New Lexus GX550 Struggles Towing 9,000 Pounds up The World’s Toughest Towing Test!

    I agree - the GX did well towing uphill. Downhill it performed not so well. Without engine braking or oversized brakes I would not try towing this heavy.

    The New Lexus GX550 Struggles Towing 9,000 Pounds up The World’s Toughest Towing Test!

    This was an extreme towing test - maxing out the towing abilities of the GX. You never tow near the maximum towing rating of a vehicle. I would tow no more than 6-7 thousand pounds with my GX 550 Overtrail. As stated by others, I tow with my diesel 3/4 ton pickup when I tow heavy trailers...

    Squealing Brakes 550 Overtrail

    I picked up my GX 550 from the dealer yesterday afternoon. I left the car out last night in the mist and fog at the beach. No noise this morning for the first time. The paperwork said the rotars, calipers, and pads in the front were replaced. Additionally, the complete brake lines were...

    Squealing Brakes 550 Overtrail

    My service advisor mentioned "a new part" was installed. I'm not sure what part he was referencing. I am supposed to pick up my GX this afternoon and I will try and get more detailed information. If I learn anything additional I will post it.

    Squealing Brakes 550 Overtrail

    My dealer called me this morning and said my brakes are fixed and they installed "a new part" from Lexus. I will pick up my GX 550 Overtrail after 10 days at the dealer and see if the problem with the brakes is fixed. A few days ago the dealer loaned me a 2023 GX 460. My wife who drives a...

    Squealing Brakes 550 Overtrail

    My dealer has opened a service call with Lexus and is taking direction from Lexus. I don't think it's a "scorched earth" plan. It is my belief they are doing the extensive-comprehensive fix because they know what the issue is and it's beyond just replacing the brake pads.

    Squealing Brakes 550 Overtrail

    Hopefully the dry air in Arizona will stop the issue. I live at the beach in California. No other cars I have owned, besides the 4Runner, have had this problem.

    Squealing Brakes 550 Overtrail

    My brake have made loud squealing noises since delivery of my GX 550 Overtrail. I have had my car about 3 months. I had similar issues with my 4Runner TRD Off-road with KDSS. The Toyota dealer eventually replaced my brake pads and the noises went away. My Lexus dealer has had my GX for over...

    Lexus Dashcam???

    I had the dealer remove my dashcam. There is a clip/plug that connects under headliner by the windshield. The cord is approximately 8-10" long. There is an indentation left in my headliner where the cord was removed. It is hard to see unless you are looking for it. I personally would not...

    Lexus Dashcam???

    Thank you - that looks like a much better, and integrated, solution that does not block or impede the view of the driver.

    Lexus Dashcam???

    My Overtail came with the dashcam as a port installed option. The dealer wanted $1295. I told them to remove it or it was a deal breaker. They offered to remove it for $300. I said no. They made a service appointment for me and removed it at no cost. I am recently retired from law...

    So Cal Incognito Overtrail

    I have had my GX Overtrail for two weeks and have put 1,000 miles on it. I have owned 10 + Lexus', but none in the last 8-10 years. I have been driving mainly Porsche and Audis. I have a 2021 Toyota 4 Runner with KDSS which has been trouble free. I am worried about the Tundra and LX engine...
