I've been looking at the "In transit" GX 550s on my dealer's website for a while now. I should be getting a call within the next couple of months saying my GX has been allocated. I've noticed that for the last few weeks there seems to be a lot Nori Green OT+ GXs getting allocated with Incognito being the second most common color. I'm on the list for a white or silver OT+. Anyone else notice a preponderance of Nori/Incognito GXs being allocated at their dealer recently? Or maybe this is just the results of random chance at my local dealer.

My dealer got 2 OTs in recently. Both Nori

I am on the waiting list for a white OT+ and placed deposit Aug. '23.
I was told mine will be a 2025 model now and that's the only for sure...
I got on my dealer's waitlist in June of '24, but I believe you in Canada didn't get the GX as early as we did in the US, right? It'll be interesting to see if I end up with a '24 or a '25.

Won’t be much of a difference 🤷

What’s the waiting time from ordering before you drove your GX home?
I ordered mine 12 Sept 24. Was delivered yesterday. I’m in AL and ordered from Birmingham Lexus. GX550 OT+…atomic silver with black onyx roof. Love it!

I was able to get into the GX pretty quickly. I set up links to scan nationwide inventory. Once I found what I was looking for all it took was a phone call and some persistence. The initial GX I called about ended up being sold but not picked up for a long time. I kept calling until it was out of their inventory. As soon as I hung up, the dealer called me right back and said they had another one inbound and if I wanted it. Well, you know the answer from the first sentence.

Here is one of the links I set up. It allows me to search a 500-mile radius.

Lexus Inventory Search - FL(32305)

11 clicks later and I search the full reported inventory in under 2 minutes.

If anyone is interested, I will post or send them to you.
 
Thank you much. No, I picked mine up in PA. I did get Nori Green/Onyx top. First SUV and loving it. I really liked the color and it was not popular on the road in GA. Right now I am the only Nori in town. There are 3 other GX's 2 white, one silver. Lots of fun so far..
 
Ordered 6/15/24, picked up 11/15/24. 5 months wait for my Atomic Silver OT+ from Sewell Lexus Dallas.

Is there really such a crazy demand in Colorado? I got on a list in May and got told 8 months wait, only got allocation a few weeks ago. Today my vin is finally shown as in transit, so December delivery, hopefully earlier rather than later, before the snow hits again. So will be over 7 months, close to what the dealer estimated.

Both on Facebook and on forums people are getting them left and right. The biggest dealer in Colorado in October was saying the list for OT+ is 2 years haha. Dealer in Utah is also saying about 6-8 month wait. All the inventory searches are useless, they let you know how many vehicles a certain dealer is getting, but all of them are spoken, and not sure if any allow out of states yet.

I would guess the actual timeline will be sooner than the 2 years. With all lists, dealers tend to under promise and overdeliver. I am guessing this was Greenwood village if you're in Denver, they told me the same. That said, it wouldn't surprise me if Denver/CO had some of the largest lists in the country. Toyota loyalty runs deep there.

For reference- I just moved from Denver. In the last 2 years I've bought and built 5 4Runners. Lift, wheels & tires - and I sold every single one for more than I paid after mods. Strongest Toyota truck market out of anywhere I've lived.

In June for a prem+, I was told 4-6 months by Co Springs, 6 mo by Greenwood and initially 8 mo by Stevinson which was updated to three years when i called in August to get an update by a sales person who was angry as soon as I said GX waitlist.

I was hoping for a December arrival with that unlikely, I will likely wait until January and start shopping out of state.
