North Texas New GX 550 - Atomic Silver

[wessermgm]

Well, the wife and I traded in our 2021 GX 460 for a GX 550 Premium Plus six seater today in Atomic Silver with the Dapple Gray interior. We got lucky. Went to the dealership to test drive their demo (which was the only GX they had listed) and found out that there was a delivery of the Silver 6 seater. They were going to slap aftermarket wheels and tires for the huge markup they were going to pull but that wasn't scheduled until tomorrow. So, we were able to buy it tonight for MSRP. Not the color we would have chosen, but we are very happy with it, especially hearing the horror stories of some people's wait for theirs.

I look forward to exploring this amazing ride and spending time with you guys getting to know these vehicles!

Nice, very lucky. Still waiting on mine. Park Place or Sewell?

Yeah, I shouldve taken some today when I had it out of the garage. I will tomorrow. Already looking at tire upgrades for these Dunlop Grandtreks. Had them on the old GX460 and I was generally displeased with them. The 550 is too rugged a vehicle to have such wimpy tires.

Wondering if you ever upgraded the tires. Agreed that the stock tires are super wimpy. Looks like they belong in a Corolla.

I’m looking at Open country at3s or bfg k03s. Leaning towards the at3s as they are lighter and better for daily driving.

I love Atomic Silver and this is our second one in that color. We've bought three vehicles from Park Place, Grapevine. I think you will love it. I've had several Toyota folks drive mine and they have all been shocked by the power of this twin turbo V6.

Put down a deposit and got on the waitlist 1 year and three months ago. It should arrive any day. Premium plus eminent white with saddle tan interior. I so appreciate these forums because now I know what to look for when I test drive it. Question, I’m mainly looking for a smooth ride with as little road noise as possible ( won’t be off roading ) would y’all change the tires and if so, which tires would you recommend? I know I’m screwed in negotiating a price because there is still a waiting list but any tips would be helpful.

Welcome to the forum.

Looks like the Premium+ will come with Yokahoma Geolanders, and you would be hard pressed to find a smoother riding tire. No need to swap them out.
