Any issue with rim width vs factory specs for those tires?
What I can’t stand about my GX

I think there might be a little too much overhang so a little sloppy with hard turns on highway and handling. 285 really requires a 8.5” rim per the tire manu even though it “fits”. Also the 285 is a LT tire so it’s got much thicker side walls and much heavier. So you lose comfort and performance to gain some durability and towing capability, both that I don’t need.
I’m getting the 275/50r22 ‘s which will lose a tad bit of sidewall height and width. But is much lighter and will fit the rim better.
that said , the tires will transform the look imo.
Perhaps that's why "they* invented diapers...
The small gas tank, wind noise from the luggage rack and vibrations on the hood are all well documented and affect mine too. I can live with them all so far. Also have the no massage /lumbar in the passenger seat that has to go back to get fixed.
My biggest pet peeve, however, is the design of the rear cargo cover. It’s a PITA to get it out even with both sides that collapse or push in but it’s too long to easily maneuver. Then if you have to take it out, it awkwardly lays too long if you’re not at home at a place to leave it. So as much as I like having that I feel we could never have it in the car in case we ever need the 3rd row

In no particular order..
Squealing brakes
Vibration
Loose tailgate spoiler
Hood flutter
Drivers Side Mirror vibration
Delayed throttle response
Overspray on rear bumper
Clear coat issue on pass doors

What I don’t understand is how most of these problems aren’t a design issue which I would think would be present on all vehicles. My Overtrail has none of the above issues except brake squeal on first trip down the driveway in the morning (and that seems to have stopped around 3,000 miles).
The more I drive both my wife’s Land Cruiser FE and my Overtrail the better I like the Lexus (not knocking the Toyota in any way).

Minor issues that won’t leave you stranded but I’m sure glad I backed out of buying a first year totally redone vehicle. Hopefully there will be no issues with the engine and transmission.
Having said all that I really have no regrets & enjoy the truck 24/7. Brakes are getting fixed 11/1
