Overtrail to Overtrail +: Raised a couple of questions

[robbymcg89]

I already had a deposit down and an expected delivery date of mid-February for an Overtrail. I started thinking I may prefer an Overtrail+ in order to get some perks like memory seats, kick sensor for rear door, upgraded sound system, etc. my dealer called today and there is an OT+ coming in at the end of the month with the same color (Caviar) as the OT I reserved. However, in comparing the spec lists, I have a couple of questions:
1. The OT specs list a “Power Moonroof with Bridge Roof Rails” while the OT+ lists a “Power tilt-and-slide moonroof with black utility roof rails”. What, if any, difference is there between bridge roof rails and utility roof rails?
2. The OT+ lists “outside mirrors with puddle lamps”. What are puddle lamps?
Thanks!

If i were in your shoes, I’d possibly wait for a 2025 OT. It picks up some of the features of the 2024 OT+, and they will both have a factory 1” lift.



The ML sound system of the OT+ has gotten crapped on pretty hard in this forum. Are memory seats, massaging seats, and kick sensor worth $10k extra to you? Also, there are threads that the seat massagers are chronically broken

Is the OT+ coming in a ‘24? If so the price on that will be going up $3,140 for the ‘25 which gives you the 1” lift, air compressor, and aux switches in addition to the ‘24 OT+. Depending on how you intend to use your GX it may or may not be worth the extra which is substantial and the OT for ‘25 is going up $3,640…the biggest jump of all the trims. I’d take the ‘24 OT+ in a heartbeat (unless the $ is a major consideration)

This may sound odd for someone who is buying an OT version of the GX, but I really won’t be doing much off-roading. And the 33” tires give me all the clearance I desire. So I’m fine with the ‘24 OT+ and don’t need to wait for a 1” lift.. It may sound “bougie”, but the luxury add-ons for the plus package like memory seats, kick sensor, etc are actually worth it to me. Even though I will be driving it 90% of the time, I think it will make it more attractive for my wife to drive. I feel like I’ll get the best of both worlds: a fun, sporty SUV with a luxury feel.

Good advice

This is my plan. The only thing that had me really leaning toward the + was the memory seats, wheel, mirrors. I'll gladly get those and save a few $k (25 OT vs 24 OT+), while gaining the lift and onboard air, which I wil actually use.

My 2024 OT has puddle lamps

Is there any reason not to add OT tires and wheels with Lux+ (or Lux)? You will get the look but with all the upgraded features like actual leather, the cool dynamic roof, included upgraded stereo, digital rear view mirror, etc.

I love the look of the OT, but my wife gave me two requirements for a new vehicle and one was a third row (the other was the 360 degree cameras). My plan is to dress it up to look more like an OT with wheels, an aftermarket rack, and eventually rock sliders. I will use it for moderate off-roading, but it will mainly tow a raft to remote put-ins.

[SNIP] It may sound “bougie”, but the luxury add-ons for the plus package like memory seats, power headrests, [SNIP].

Just as an FYI, the OT+ (and I believe any GXs) don't have power headrests. The headrests are adjustable front and back - in addition to the up and down like all trim levels - but only manually.

Right. That was a typo on my part.
