What I can’t stand about my GX

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

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.
Perhaps... the originator of this threat could edit the topic from
What I can’t stand about my GX to What I'd like to improve on my GX...
Every time I see this topic pop up I think there are probably few if any who can't stand their GX...
Yes! I recently just made this post: I bought a Prinsu Ladder but I'm hesitant to install it at this point.
Folks, regarding the loose tailgate spoiler please consider this may have been a purposeful design decision at Lexus. Given the overall height of the vehicle this piece will likely strike overhead doors, parking garage roofs, etc. If this was a rigid mounting, the piece would crack and easily get damaged. With this amount of "flex" the likelihood of damaging the spoiler is greatly reduced. True, some spoilers appear to flex more than others, but the design intent is still there. Next time you check the 'wobble' of your spoilers try to keep this in mind.
