Hi all,

My name is Kevin, I've been reading the forum for advice and information for a while now. I just received word that my Incognito Prem + GX is due to arrive in NYC at the end of January, so I thought it was time to introduce myself. I'll pick it up at a dealership in VA sometime in Feb. I already purchased a new set of take-off OT wheels/tires locally so those will go on when I pick it up.

Thanks for having me, looking forward to interacting with the group.

Welcome to the forum Kevin and good luck with the delivery of your GX this month. Post some pics when you get it.

Good choice going with some more sidewall with the OT wheel package.
I imagine the GX would be very rough riding on the larger rims with very thin tires. It is after all on a truck chassis. Love my OT+. Congrats

Thanks @yesitsqk. Love the OT wheels, can't wait to get them on when it finally arrives!

I thankfully picked up my Prem Plus GX last weekend. It is Incognito with black interior. I live in NC and purchased through Lindsay Lexus in Alexandria, VA. They were the only dealership who had allocated vehicles without deposits when I called, and the transaction was flawless. I already had a set of OT take-off's that they installed the day I picked the truck up. I left the Prem Plus wheels and tires with them because I've seen how demand is low and didn't want drive them home 4 hours just to end up storing them forever.
A few notes I would share with other new buyers:

• I was a little hung up on taking delivery of a 2024 in mid-Feb of 2025, with the 2025's so close to shipping, but as another poster in this group said "A bird in the hand..". I'm really happy I did. I haven't seen any of the issues that others have posted about previously. No hood flutter, even at ~80 mph. The seats and steering wheel heat up very quickly and get very warm, especially the seats. No brake squeal yet but I'm only at 500 miles. Maybe these issues are being addressed now at the factory?
• If you are buying from a dealer out of state, you may want to check if that state requires front license plates. NC does not, but VA does. So, when I first saw my GX I noticed they had drilled 4 holes for the front license plate holder. Needless to say I was bothered but I'll deal with it. When I took the plate holder off the screws had pulled the plastic out about 1/4", so it's more work than just adding body colored plugs. For now I'm leaving the plate holder in place but I don't like the look of it. Lesson learned.
• Recommendations for accessories in these forum posts are great. I'm surprised how satisfied I've been with things like the seatbelt clip covers (I have a six seater and only used the large one for the drivers seatbelt, the other 3 were used for the rear two seats and passenger seat) link. This wireless charging pad is also very nice with no impact to charging performance that I can notice link

I hope this helps someone else in the group. I absolutely love my GX and make excuses every day to drive it more!

Curious how much the OT wheels and tires ran you. Wanted to get a sense of what the market rate is. Did you get all 5 wheels and tires?

I got 4 take off OT tires on rims, including TPMS, lug nuts and wheel locks for $1k. I jumped all over that deal even though I had to drive 3 hours each way to SC to get them. I have the stock Prem+ wheel/tire as a spare currently. I'll keep an eye out for a single OT rim and replace all 5 tires when the Toyo's wear out.
I monitored Facebook Marketplace for a while (I had a 3 month wait for my GX) and OT tire/wheel take off's were going for around $1.2k - $1.5k, but not many included 5 wheels, and a lot of them took the Lexus TPMS to their next set of wheels.
At the same time people are trying to sell Prem+ wheels and tires for $1500 or more per set on FB Marketplace, and there is no market for them.
