2025 Updates per C&D

[deadlikeme]

What's New for 2025?
In its sophomore season, the redesigned GX550 sees only minor changes to its standard equipment. A power-adjustable steering column is now standard across the lineup, and all GX models come with memory settings for the driver’s seat, steering wheel, and outside mirrors. The Overtrail and Overtrail+ off-road trims add a one-inch suspension lift for better obstacle clearance and a bank of auxiliary switches

It'll be interesting to see what kind of lift is used on the OT/OT+ and how easy it will be to retrofit to the 2024s.

I'd be curious to retrofit the memory seats. I have the power tilt/telescope steering wheel option.

I like the way you think

Hi all - first post here but long time Toyota guy. These are the exact things (only except the ML) system on why I was even considering the +. This is great news for me and the lift icing on top. Will live without the ML For the ~9k difference. I am hoping we see this in a formal announcement from Lexus. C&D appears to be the only place this data is given. Also curious with MY25 production starts.

I've been checking the Lexus Press site almost every day hoping for the 2025 details. I'm guessing this will be the url for the press kit when they finally do release it:

I'm surprised there was no mention of a GX Hybrid in the C&D article?

If this is all true for the overtrail changes, I hope they sneakily add rear climate controls and ceiling vents too. So silly that they left those off

My only reason opting for the OT+ was the memory seats and mirrors. I'm hoping the announcement comes shortly since I have a 2024 OT+ coming early December. I would take the 2025 OT to save some serious cash.

For me more than happy with my OT+, that SEMA BUILD of that LC for me is a must have with a small tweaks I would definitely want to keep both

I believe the 1 suspension lift is comparing to the regular GX, which is the same for 2024

Thought the same. Overtrail already plenty tall as is

 

[killy]

Does the ot have a 1” lift?

I thought the extra height was tires and the roof rails?

True, the lack of rear ceiling vents is pretty poor for a vehicle at this level. It makes a huge difference for the kids stuck in their booster seats back there all summer. I'm constantly checking the two little rear vents for them behind the center console to make sure they are aimed up and towards each of my boys. Every time they get out of the truck for school they brush against those vents and mess up the alignment.

On another note, now that it's "cold" in Arizona, my youngest son asked me to turn on the rear seat heaters last night after my other son's baseball game ended at 9:00. I put him in his booster and went to hit the rear seat heaters and only found two USB ports....then I remembered that this very expensive new truck doesn't have them - that was my last truck, the LR4, that had the rear seat heaters. My son was not impressed.

Sounds like you bought the wrong truck for your needs

Still baffled by the omission of overhead vents, especially since the LC has them.

Also surprised to learn the cold area package isn't available in the OT. Is it missing the other features of the cold area package too?

OT already has the headlamp washers and windshield wiper de-icer (and the heated steering wheel the cold weather package adds to the Premium - all others have it standard). Not sure about the fast-response interior heater.

My GX550 has heated rear seats?

Did you not spec them?
