Just picked up 2024 GX 550 Overtrail. I’m from Charleston, SC and picked GX over Yukon. Wanted luxury plus 6000# towing capability in new car. Only been a day but very pleased with decision. Really like the look/feel but has a couple options I didn’t really want/need. I’m not an off road person but couldn’t be choosy given the limited availability and long wait. I will be pulling the “off road roof rack” and selling if there is any market for it. Otherwise, it’ll sit in the garage until my wife tells me to get rid of it if I’m not going to use it. I also will replace “rock rails” with running boards fairly soon. Not as young as I once was so a “helper step” will be valuable Down the road. Look forward to being part of the group. Chris

Congratulations you could always with some modifications make it a hunting blind

Welcome! Post up some pics! Preferably ripping through some of that coastal sand that's everywhere down there.

I’m interested in trading. Do you know if they both use the same bolt holes?

Congratulations! Do you feel any underlying vibration (sort of wheel balance) but more pronounced at lower speeds?

Looks identical to mine. Just FYI, I took the roof rack off for daily driving because it made quite a bit of wind noise on the lead edge right above the sunroof. It takes a Torx 30 bit, but 8 bolts on top and then one on each mount and it was off, super easy, less than 5 minutes with my son helping.
