Debating moving on from GX550

[Bobbysc]

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?

You're going to go from a Lexus to a rental car?

J VIN to a GM? Good luck

If size is a problem for you, nothing is going to fix it. I'm 5'9" 200. It fits me and my family just fine.

Agree on the size issue, nothing can fix that. The reason I’m here is contemplating moving on earlier than I might’ve planned from my current car. Life is too short to put up with one that just isn’t working out for you. I just haven’t moved on yet (to a GX, LC or other) until I can be 100% certain what will work for me.

I get it. If you have issues that you can’t get past then maybe you should move on. If you go from a Lexus to a Chevy your not going to have the same quality vehicle and someone is going to get a great deal on yours.

I agree with all above. If it's not for you sell it. I suspect many GX owners number one priority is reliability. It is for me. I have owned 4Runners for the past 20 years and with the exception of preventive maintenance it is very rare to have any problems. I have had terrible experiences with GM and will never own another. The GX550 has had some issues with this first year release and hopefully Lexus is making right by those owners. There is nothing out there right now I would trade my GX550 for. I like the lack of fake wood grain, I think the interior looks great, It rides fantastic, more power than I need, I can work on it (with the exception of advanced electrical) oh, did I forget to mention how great it looks? If service is needed my dealership service hours are 5:30am - 10:00pm 365 days a year. I guess we all have different needs from our vehicles and that's what keeps multiple car companies in business.

Do what you like. It's your money.

Wife loves her, I'm not a fan but it's her daily driver not mine.

It’s just a car. Move on.

I had a similar issue with my BMW X4. I only had it a year 9,000 miles on it. I liked everything about it but loved the new GX when it came out. Got rid of the X4 and bought the GX in October. They both have features I love but the GX was bigger and more room for me. But I get your dislikes especially no storage up front. Not sure how big of a hit you will take but I took a huge hit on the X4
