Very bittersweet but I traded the GX in yesterday and went a totally different direction. I’m hoping to buy another GX in a few years once Lexus works out the kinks. This community is awesome and I’m gonna keep following. I’ll be posting a lot of parts for sale, including OT+ suspension parts.

Had enough of the vibration huh? How much you get on trade-in?

Yes, that was the main reason. And I’ve always wanted an M5. But also my GX brake squeak came back after they replaced them, the driveshaft was popping from poor factory lubrication, lumbar kept deflating, transmission clunk came back after reset, and the dealer kept saying this stuff is all normal. So I made them deal with it since they thought it was so perfect. It would have been difficult for me to sell on private market knowing my frustrations with it. I’m just too honest. Also, I generally just realized I am still madly in love with my 2010 4Runner and so I can still do plenty of offroad and camping and other such trips in that. I really really REALLY hated saying goodbye to the GX because it was so badass looking, and a DREAM Offroad. But my 15-year old 4Runner rides smoother on the road. They gave me $82k and I still have all the OEM takeoff parts, and will be selling those. I hope that somebody else who buys it will hopefully be less concerned than I was about these issues, or perhaps has ability to work through them on their own. I can’t wait to see what everybody will do with this truck over the next few years.
 
Nice, did you get the brand new M5 or the previous generation F90 M5? My wife is slowly taking over the GX so I'm planning to add a M5 wagon or RS6 for myself as a daily driver in the near future.

How much did you pay for your OT+ out the door and how many miles did you have? Sounds like a pretty decent deal though..
