Debating moving on from GX550

[sel]

Hi there!

I have a GX550 Lux Plus. Car looks great of course and drives well, but just not "feeling" it at times. I have multiple complaints from the trianglur shaped top of the doors, to the no storage up front, cooler box so small and useless for me, tight seating in the second row...

Started looking at the 2025 Tahoe or Yukon...

Anyone else debating selling and moving on, and it so, to what?

I’m hear you. I’m 6 months into an OT after 10 years in a 4runner. Love the ride and look; quality is abundant everywhere - especially ML stereo. But agree storage is lacking, rear seats are tight, and MPG is worse than advertised. Thinking of TX500h as a better option for the family.

They gave me a TX as a loaner when they were replacing squealing brakes in my 550. The roominess and cubby space storage reminds me of a honda pilot and a minivan’s storage i had as rentals for vacations.

TX got an A+ for space/storage/cubby, but driving experience in the TX was lackluster compared to the 550, just my 2 cents

I'm moving from an older Yukon to GX OT+, precisely because of the size. As empty nesters we don't need the third row. It's about same length as my old Yukon (they're a foot longer now than they were then). And the price is right compared to a comparative Yukon Denali Ultimate, which can go for 20K more. I have to admit that I really like the Duramax for long distance trips we have planned. But it's more important that I can get it into parking spaces and garages easier and more often. And the reliability's as buy and hold guy is a major factor, or I would have bought a Defender long ago.

I think the ML sound system has zero existence if you move the sound to the rear. There are no sub woofers either, if there are they are not like the old GX model. I also don’t care for the the constant beeping if your head is not straight. Don’t care for the over whelming safety features it’s almost too much, so I shut those off. The engine hood flaps around also. I’m considering the BMW X5 m60 because it has a V8 and is made so better and feels heavier like the old GX
